don't clip at all. What they really do
is to tear the coupons off.
That IS a good deal quicker than clip
plnS with scissors, bat it wouldn't be
advisable for the green norm b~ondholder
to Try that method, especially if he's in
a hurry and has a big pile of securities
to go through. There is IL knack in do
ing the job fast.
1t is remarkable how quickly an ex-
pert worker will go through a half mill
lion dollar pile of bonds. The coupon
is torn along both sides with one mo-
ton. while it is being dropped into
the coupon box Will one hand The ruler
or bond square, as it is called, with
the help of which The clipper works. is
being laid over another bond with the
other hand. 1t is estimated that an eX-
pert clipper Will go through about $780,
oco of bonds in an hour. That would
be about 500 bonds ordinarily.
AS soon as the clipper has waded
through the pile assigned him he ar
ranges n coupons in front of him in
little stacks and checks them back care
fully. Then they are handed to ome
body higher up. possibly the cashier.

checking process to verify the returns.
Then the coupons are placed in "a
tray in the center Of the table. This
tray is about nine inches square and
three inches deep.
When the whistle blows for the day
that is, When So 600 or $4.G0e. 0o0 of
BONDS have been clipped, the harvest in
the tray on the center of the table is
stored away in the vault
William p. Sands. the dean OF the
coupon clipping force, has been With
the Mutual Life for forty-four years
and has cut coupons ever since the
company has owned bonds on which
the interest was paid in coupon form.
Even when the regular harvest seasons
aren't on Cashier Sands finds a little
picking to do on bonds falling due on
odd dates.
lie wouldn't have to stretch The truth
to say that his business consisted large
~ in clipping coupons and getting the
money on them. In the last ten years
II is estimated that he has clipped more
than $40. 0c0. GOO worth.
1t doesn't do, though. to crack any
jokes about the proverbial coupon clip
ping ma when the Mutual force is
around. They don see the funny side
of it. This busile>. OF coupon clipping
is no laughing matter for them.
They say ita just ahou; The hardest

Two Types of biographical Writing,
1t Is an interesting fact In the history
of literary genres that two of the great
examples of biographical writing occur
almost side by Side. Less than Il decade
separates the completion Of Johnson's
Lives of the Poets" from the publicn-
ton of his own life by Boswell. Yet
with the latter book new tyne of
biography came into being. johnson,
IN the main, Ind. like most of his pred.
cccssors. followed n simple narrative
and cNpos!tory method. preflxing a
plain story Of the poets life to sys-
tcmatic account Of his character and a
critical estimate of his works. He
gathered his facts and Impressions to.
gether and spoke for the author and for
himself. Boswell, on the other hand,
making use of n more dramatic meth
cd. succeeded in his attempt to let the
author reveal himself, and. instead of
an exposition Of character, painted a
picture Of personality to which his own
comments were subordinate. What VIC
see rs q type Of mind and character In
Johnson's work we see as living man
