ON OVERTIME WORK Rockwell, of New Departure Company, Explains His
 Theory.
PUSHING HARDEST NOW
Policy is to Make Biggest Fight for Business During Dull
 Times.

Bristol, Feb. 7.-President Albert F.. Rockwell, president and general man ager of the New Departure Manufsc- turing company, explains why his big concern is operating on an overtime schedule. Fifteen years ago his com- pany was the infant industry" of the town; to-day it is the largest, giving employment to over 750 hands. But this is not all, for, during the past few months of business depression, this big plant has been operated, not ten. but thirteen hours day, and portions of it have been running day and night.
 How can business be secured to do so?
 The question is best answered by Mir. Rockwell himself. MT. Rockwell said: First, it must be remembered that three-ffths of our trade is with Canada and foreign countries. Gen erally when there is depression in one country some other one is enjoying prosperity and a general average is struck, but this is not true of the pres ent depression. for it has extended to other countries as well as our own, but perhaps, not to so great an extent.
 Our policy, when business is dull. is to push the hardest. Contrary to the general notion, our travelling rep resentatives receive better attention in dull times than good, for the custom CT has more leisure to listen, and an attractive proposition, something that will stimulate his trade, is more apt to make an impression. Consequently, unlike some manufacturers who have sat down and are waiting for the thing to blow over. we have made an increased effort this year in our adver- Using, by sending out a larger mum Der of representatives and preparing several new plans for the disposition of our goods, which appeal to our trade.
 We have kept everlastingly at it both in the domestic and larger foreign markets. The trade that we sell to Is not in any better condition than that of other lines, possibly not as good, but we go out after and get the business It is gratifying to us that our new plans appeal to the trade, and we are always on the lookout for anything that will prove stimulus.
 It must bc born in mind, however that we spend thousands of dollars yearly in experimental work, and any article placed on the market by us must be proven as to practicabiity and adaptahility before we will offer 1t Our plant is much larger than year ago, but 1t is too small yet, and we are increasing its capacity almost daily Our business. in all markets has beer larger this year than ever before, anc we can only ascribe it to the reasons advanced above.'

GIFTS ARE FORBIDDEN.

There is curious custom at the courts of the Indian princes. When British official or physician calls upon a rajah he is shown into the re- ception or throne room. where sits the rajah, surrounded by the great state officers. After the exchange of the usual salutations one or the officials brings in a tray on which are display ed jewels and golden ornaments stud ded with valuable stones, perhaps worth 5o,O00 pounds or more.
 The trayful of valuables is suppos- ed to be present from the rajah to his visitor and it is offered first to the gentlemen. who. inclning his head. touches the edge of the tray with the tips of his fingers. and it is then pass ed over to the lady. who lnvarlapy accompanies the British officer, if he is married, on such occasions. She follows the example of her husband, and the tray and its contents are then returned to the jewel room. In lieu of the unaccepted jewels long neck lace of tinsel. of little value. is placed round the neck of each, where It re- mains during their stay within the palace.
 There is a very strict law against any British official accepting a gift from a native prince.
 Even when a doctor may have per formed some serious oreration upon a rajah, who. being grateful, wishes sive-exclusive of a money ice vary ing from 200 pounds to i,ooo pounds. according to the operation performed "a present of a shawl. golden cup, or some similar valuable, the doctor must obtain special permission rom the Viceroy-before he dare accept the present If any official a|cepts a gift of any value without such per mission. he may have to resign. This rule was made because in the old days, when the East India company governed India. an officers plcklngs and the presents often extorted from the rajahs. were worth much more to him than his salary.-Tit Bits.
