From $40,000 to more than $1,500,000 in teri years? I That is the anjazing record set by Mrs. Vejar in building up the Santa *Monica branch of the Pacific Southwest Trust and Savings bank front a struggling institution with .less than 50 depositors to one as the most successful banks in this section with some 3,000 depcsito’rs. The reward chme this month, when Mrs. Vejar was appointed assistant manager to T. H. Dudley. vice-president of the bank and former mayor of Santa Monica. for Pacific jSouthwes* banks of the entire lay District. It is said to be the highest position held by a w<mian in Southland banking circles ? Mrs. Vejar took over the old branch at 221 Santa Monica boulevard tf’hm nobody else would accept it No one believed then that the, tiny office with its meager resources and more meager list of depositors would \ expand and finally outgrow its surroundings, except Mrs. Vejar. The girl graduated from Santa Monica High tjch«»ol in 1906 and J entered upon her banking career as a stenographer, facing a task that ’presented almost insurmountable odds. "She can’t do it." one of the directors saidjl > "Let me try.\Mrs. Vejar answered. And they did. Today the Santa Mor. .« branch stands! near the top of successful banking enterprises, largely due to the popularity and creative business ability* of Mrs. Vejar, according to Dudley, who has watched her progress for nearly 20 yea -s. Four years ago larger quai’tbrs were taken Ml the present location, at Fourth and Santa Monica boulevard. Now it is preparing to move again to still larger quarters in a building shortly to be constructed at Fourth and Wilshire. Tie whole ground .floor will be given over to the branch they said was hopeless. Mrs. Vejar will make her temporary head quarters at the Ocean Park branch until the new building ,is completed. She is the sister of two other well known Santa Monicas. W. H. and P. C. Hinder* r. Mrs. Vejar is a niece of Fred Hinderer of Syracuse. —.— -oJUNIHR LADIES The Junior Ladies* of the Round Table planned a party for last Thursday, evening in honor of the fellow students who were spending their vacation from colleges at theijr various homes.

These figures do not include deaths from collisions with street cars or locomotives. New York State ranked first not only in the number of automobiles registered in 1925, but also in the number of deaths from automobile accidents. In New York, one person was killeii for every 731 automobiles registered.. Florida ranked first, however, in the proportion of fatalities compared with ‘he number of automobiles registered. In-that state in 1925. one person /was killed for every 097 carp registered. In lowa there were fewer deaths, compared with the number of cars owned, than in any yther State; there haring been •n 1925 only one death to every 2.190 cars registered. _o_ ■riW ABOUT YOUR VOICE The sound of the human voice is not onfcy the greatest, evidence of personality and character, but its power and influence with associates is beyond measure. How often ha we admired a man or woman un*il We heard the sound of their voices. Then everything changes. A beautiful voice is more often an acquired thing than a natural thing.' A woman with any prtistry in her at all should not have a harsh ugly voice; . a woman with a poised soul would not speak so rapidly that her would be a jirmble; a woman with any richness of feeling would not have a thin, childish voice. o— I BANK STATEMENT Charter N’o. 30$ Report of the condition of State Bank of Syracuse at Syracuse in the State of Indiana, close of its business on December 31J 1926.

MOTOR TRANSPORT The Interstate Commerce Comqiission,. which has been., investigating the development of motor bus and truck transportation, reports that motor carriers are operating a greater total mileage than the railroad of the country. Railroads claim this competition into their receipts, but recent operating n< - seem to verify the claim. With the states holding conflicting ideas on taxation of these vehicles the Commission faces a difficult problem in the matter of fixing rates for them that will more nearly equaJ the rail charges, because on many bus roifes the present passenger fare is double that charged by the railroads, The purpose may be to put certain bus lines out of business by a forced reduction of these rates. o — — ?
