the meeting OF the Real Estate exchange
last Wednesday that no Famom street
property east of Twentieth win get too high
until It has reached $1,000 a front foot. This
opinion was concurred IN by n number OF
other dealers II that is true, then the
present owners Of some Of the property
between Twentieth and Sixteenth can
make good money by holding TO It awhile
But Mr.. Harrison showed in tho same
talk that realty values are not stable. He
told Of Clinton Briggs, who twenty years
ago bought the lot where the Rohrbough
college now stands. He paid $4,000. and
six months after was offered S50,0On, but he
sold last year for $4,000 Other people Mr.
Harrison mentioned however, are row
making money on the recent advance in
values, having bought a few years ago,
when real estate was depressed.

HINTS TO ACCOUNTANTS.

Add 1t just once more.
1t pays to take a balance of bal
ances.
Have an ambition to occupy the
chair behind the managers desk.
Better think about it at the time;
some think about it at the end of the

Look for the exact amount of your
erro"; you possibly overlooked 1t in
posting.
Have you any systematic way of
checking Check as you post; it's
easier and quicker.
Divide it by two and look for a
debit on the credit side, or for
credit on the debit side.
If you make an error, carefully rule
a line through it with red ink; then
write the correction above it.
Remember that the books are firm
property, and you are at liberty to re-
veal no secrets they may contain.
Be sure to put the books in the
ize the value of this precaution until
you We haG IRE.
Study the needs of the business;
plan special rulings to facilitate the
handling of the business. Do not
make radical changes at time.
Don't be in hurry to suggest new
methods to the senior member of the
firm. He is likely to think he knows
more about his business than you do.
How about your writing? And your
English? And your spelling? Or do
you know nothing but bookkeeping?
If you do not, you'll never be the
manager. you'll always be the book
keeper.
If it's exactly Invisible by nine, look
out for transposition, such as 1881,

times nine is contained in the error
will be the difference between the

As is the error; it contains nine just

must have been 16 as 81, q as u, SO
