CAMBRIDGE. Mass. July 5.-More
failures occur in the retail grocery trade,
according to the Business Research Bu-
reau Of the Harvard School of Business
Administration, than in any other line
of business One-fourth of all the COM
mercial failures of 1913 were in that
trade. Because of this fact the bureau
has begun a systematic study OF the
trade in cooperation with the groccrs
themselves along the lines Of work by
student researchers some time ago in the
retail shoe trade.
In that investigation the bureau estab-
lished a uniform system Of accounting
which has been adopted by manv deal
ers, who make regular reports to the
bureau of their figures under twenty
headings of expense and profit. This
study is now being extended to the msT-

Precious Metal at Smelter.

HELENA, Mont, July 5.-Shipping
plaster from a house TO smelter for
the gold. silver and lead in it is a
new departure in the way of making
money, but that is what is being done
by Frank Fish.
For about fifteen years Fish has
been working the tailings at the old
Gregory mine, near Wicks. The prop
erty is owned by the Helena and Liv-
ingston Company. Recently big
chunk of plaster fell from the ceiling
of one of the houses. Fish found ii

The returns were satisfactory. and
then he obtained from the COMPANY
a lease, with the right to smelt all OF
the plaster in all Of the houses In the
town AS the town has long since
been abandoned and the houses were
going to decay. the lease did not dis
turb any one.
Fish has already shipped eight tons
of the plaster to the East Helena
smelter and the returns are said 10
be satisfactory TO him. The richness
OF the plaster is not surprising. When
Gregory was on the map and a boom

sand used was taken from the tailings
The. methods of getting the values out
OF the ores were crude and the tailings
