had not been absent from the bank
during one business day this year. He
did not take his usual vacation last
summer, requesting that instead he
might take n month next winter for
trip to California"
The interesting feature of the sup
Elementary statement is the positive
assertion that Alvord had not been alb
Gent from the bank one business day
this year. Mr. Hine repeated this
statement orally after an eXamina ton
OF the time books in which every days
