THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1921 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. —Missionary Voice.

McWhorter, Winder, Ga. 1899 1921 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.
