less than 1.5O0 clerks of nearly all de-

that ball every day They go out 10 the

ball to drop. Each man loses at least
FIVE minutes work. That means 125
hours work, the Government is beaten
out OF every day. or eighteen days
work. In other words, the Government
is losing the service of eighteen clerks
daily the year round and at the end OF
a year is ous just eighteen salaries
