BEST HOURS FOR FIGURES
Why Bank Clerks Have a Short Work.
ing Day.

There has always been a sort of
mystery as to why the bank clerk en-
joys such comfortable hours. He ar
rives late at the scene of his labors,
and departs early. But why? In
Great Britain the banking hours are
from ten a. m. to three p. m. In the
summer time one may see Mr.. Clerk
emerging from his place of business
at the latter hour arrayed in the
latest and most approved creation in
the way of costume. Why banks
should open at ten and close at
three we never knew for certain. but
there must be reason for these alb
breviated hours, and the following
explanation has been forthcoming !.
A long time back the Bank of Eng
land discovered that mathematical
errors by the clerks we're at a mini
num in the early morning hours,
but progressively increased as fa-
tigue occurred The worst time was
in the late afternoon, aud there was
so much money loss, due to errors at
that time, that as matter of econo-
my the clerks we're forbidden to
work after certain hour. In
France, the same law of sequence
was brought to light, as was to be ex-
pected. There is a reason for every
thing, declares the Washington Her
aid, and it may well he that this ex-
PLANTATION of the bank clerks short
daily hours of work is the correct
one, for certainly working at fig
ures is a most brain-fatiguing pur'
suit.
