Pifteen years ago Miss Olney ex- pressed the opinion to a New England bank president that women, who_ hold 33 per cent of the world’s wealth, should be permitted to have some voice in the government and direction of the banks wmch Jhandled their money. “All right,” responded the financier. “suppoae you start by becoming man- “"k of a woman's department in my ban) ‘That was before women in banks were doing much except as stenog- raphers or clerks.

A woman's depart- ment was established in the Worcester | bank, and Miss Olney “started to work" | as its manager. Women Need Education. “I have always felt,” she said, “that | women should be educated to manage their own money affairs.

I have found that women are reluctant to discuss money matters with men who are strangers to them.

Miss Olney believes that women are more careful as investors than men. “At least,” she declared, “they don't take chances as often as men. One severe lesson is usually sufficient for them.” The feminine financier also believes that the members of her sex are “good sports.” “] have seen many women lose heavily in investments which they knew more or less to be gambles, but they accepted their losses in good spirit and did not complain.” “Women are in no way trying to cmpeu with men in the financial world,” Miss Olney continued. ‘“There is no need for competition. It is mere- {ly & matter that women are needed in the world of finance to guide and help other women, who would perhaps be reluctant to accept advice from men.” As manager of the woman's depart- ment of the Worcester County Bank & Trust Co. the Worcester County Na- tional Bank and afliated banks, Miss | Olney has seen an amazing growth in the business turnover of the Massa- | chusetts banks since the establishment of women's departments in the past few yea: BAKER SENTENCED T0 20-YEAR TERM Shot Wife in Back After Re- fusal to Care for Three Children.

Garry Owens, found guilty by's jury two weeks ago of second-degree mur- | der in the slaying of James H.

The sentence came after the court had overruled a motion for arrest of judgment, filed by Owens’ attorneys, James A. O'Shea and John M.
