Women Urged to Lift
The Falling Stand
ards of Decency.
*
“Show me your women and I will tell
you what you are,” said a wise man in
judging a nation—a remark which rec
ognizes the fact that the standards and
habits of women largely shape the des
tiny of mankind.
"We believe that the position and char
acter of American women has been a
great asset in the life of this nation
and that through increasing opportuni
ties to express her ideals the American
woman has a still greater contribution
to make.
At this moment of our history, how
ever, partly as the result of the world
upheaval, we are facing a condition
which is not only deplorable but one
which reflects unpleasantly on the gen
eral character of our womanhood and
calls for heart-searching by all right
thinking women.
Reality, we are told, is the note of
{his post-war period, and it would
seem that emphasis is on the reality of
all < the forces conducive to the break
down of high moral standards.
This is manifested' in every circle
of society and in every phase of life,
hut particularly in the habits of our
women, young and older, as shown in
“the decline of retinence,” profane lan
guage, indecent dress, improper danc
ing, gambling and a general indiffer
ence to reasonable safeguards of prop
er conduct.
Reports, which are principally hys
terical gossip, should be ignored, but
accurate testimony from all over the
country makes an unpleasing picture,
some portion of which at least has a
counterpart in every community.
To these distressing conditions the
syr/Gus attention of every woman in
the church is called, for certainl ythere
never was a time when Christian wom
en weep more needed to help emphasize
Christian standards. As women, we
are all in a measure to blame, either
through ignorance, indifference or si
lent acquiesence, if not by actual pos
itive count.
Moreover, as American Christian
women we are responsible for certain
ideals and conduct making for “the
righteousness that exalteth a nation.”
There is no virtue in prudery, and
the surest way to dispose of insidious
evil is to counteract it with “what
soever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely
and good report.”
For this task, the Executive Board of
Woman’s 'Auxiliary, representing the
oldest and largest body of women or
ganized for service in the church, seeks
the co-operation of all our women, and
suggests that the Christian women of
this nation join in an endeavor defi
nitely to exress the standards of Chris
tian womanhood through what they say
and do and the things they countenance.
Surely religion we profess makes each
of us peculiarly' responsible to act as
“an example of the believers in word,
in conversation, in charity, in spirit,
in faith, in purity.”
The Board further recommends to
all the women’s organizations in the
church that they take immediate ac
tion to help place the social side of our
life on a saner basis.
Meetings are suggested of mothers
and other thinking women for the con
sideration of the things which are tol
erated today in society, with a view to
eliminate the obnoxious features such
as indecent dress, the painting of faces,
improper dancing, joy-riding, vulgar
conversation, swearing, etc., and for
the formation of influential groups of
women and girls in every community
who refuse to sanction those things
which, according to Christian teaching,
lower the standards of life and thought.

The Bank as a
Stabilizer
/#
pO’LLOWING a period of high prices, ac
companied by a great increase of indebt
edness, such as the period from which we are
now emerging, such a contraction of depos
its and of loans inevitably causes hardship
to many. It is part of the necessary task of
getting back to a normal situation. Rapidly
advancing prices are followed, as a rule,
by rapidly falling prices; sudden and unus
ual profits by equally sudden and unusual
losses. The first should be recognized as cer
tain to bring the second, and the warning
heeded. Every great economic disturbance
like a war has an aftermath of price fluctua
tions and financial troubles from which no
banking system can completely protect a
people, although a well organized and well
managed system can mitigate the ill effects.
At the present time, the facilities of the Fed
eral Reserve system are aiding the nation in
overcoming difficulties which would have
been much more serious if we did not have
this improved banking system to depend
upon.
Nobody would expect a bank with depos
its of $1,000,000 to make as large an aggre
gate of loans as one with deposits of $2,000,-
000, but within the past year a great many
banks in this counttry have lost from 25 to
50 per cent of their deposits and yet many
people have wondered 1 why banks have
found it necessary to restrict the granting
of credit. Deposits which rise from the sale
of products represent real values which may
be loaned and shifted about with safety, but
remember all the time that if you want the
banking business to be kept on a safe basis
it must confine itself to funds of this charac
ter, received from the public.
Whenever, the banks begin to create de
posits, or money, by manufacturing credit,
they are dealing with something unsubstan
tial, fictitious, and charged with possibilities
of great mischief.
