iF INTEREST TO WOMEN
V\YOUTH
So often we’re inclined to snare
Youth with our will, and make
share
In things for which they do
care;
Ignoring, though they may demur,
The different choice their tastes
fer—
The hot resentment that we stir.
We cannot hope to guide and reach
And mould a life by what we
If our example fails to teach,
And careless wild oats to be
The errors made o'er one is grown
May be no greater than our own.
Why halt the eager footsteps, lest
Time, putting all roads to the
Shall prove the way they walk
best?
The untried pathways they
t»ke,
Their hurts that cause our
to break.
May mean the progress that
make.
When we were young, we too as
pired
To reach some goal—and,, we were
fired
“By what we—just ourselves—de
sired; *
A choice in either work or play;
A choice in Life to have our way,
And now In turn—give Youth its
day!
—Nan Terrell Reed.

WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY
When the United States League
of Local Building and Loan Asso
ciation met in Cleveland for its
thirty-second annual convention, the
gathering of more than 2,000 sav
ings and loan officials was presided
over by a woman, Miss Anna E.
Rae, of Niagara Falls, N. Y.
Miss Rae is head of the Niagara
Permanent Savings and Loan Asso
ciation. She is also a director and
vice president of the Land Bank, of
the state of New York. She was the
first woman in New York state to
^become a director and secretary oi
a savings and loan association, the
first woman president of a state
league, and the first woman to be
.» director and treasurer of the
Chamber of Commerce, a position
in Niagara Falls that she was
forced tq resign because of pressure
of other work. These are a.’ good
njsrny “firsts” for one woman.
Born in the land of thrift, Scot
land, M4n . J fr p r/jsaihg.. to this coun
try after being, graduated fromithe
University^ 'of Aberdeen, wentfAto
work for the Niagara building and
loan company. She ha? been with
them ever since, rising from a mi
nor position to the presidency, not
through any “pull” or influence, but
through her own efforts.
Asked to define success in busi
ness Miss Rae said: a Personality
and tact are essential, and a willing
ness to give service.” Her hobby is
home building and the teaching of
thrift.- “If, when a child is born,
the parents plan to put aw/y even
twenty-five cents every week for it, M
she said, * t it soon grows into a good
sized nest egg which may help the
child through college or later build
a home. it
The building of homes is Miss
Rae’s great hobby, It gives people
a different interest in life,” she ar
gues. .. If you own your own home
no landlord can dictate what your
children shall do or not do. It makes
it easier to bring up a family, don’t
you think so? I think I’ll devote
the rest of my life to urging people
to own their own homes. tt

A pinch of baking powder added

them lighter and whiter.
A soap shaker will be found very
useful when using soap dye. Put the
cake of soap dye in the shaker and
shake it back and forth in the wa

To increase the efficiency of your
