Hunting Down the High
Cost of Errors

1t was the smallest kind of game that the Howell
Brothers, Richmond, Va, found when they had stalked
'the high cost of doing business to its lair-nothing,
IN fact, but the high cost of little errors.
The errors were ~picayune affairs too small even to
have been suspected, but in the aggregate, they made a
good sized bag.
And it isn't mere coincidence that after these penny
and nickel errors had been smoked out OF the business,
Howell Brothers hardware store started a growth that
soon made il one OF the most progressive businesses in
Richmond
Hunting in the Breeding Ground
Most of the errors were trailed to the bookkeeping.
How easily mistakes creep into invoices and statements
and slip through unnoticed, in many and many a
concern.
If it is an overcharge it means a disgruntledl Gus
tomer-if an underchargc, a Lose 10 the house.
In either case it costs real money.
Mistakes III accounts payable are just as expensive.
And don't forget that errors in the books mean time
wasted in hunting for and a bookkeepers time
Is money.
The Howell Brothers, having caught the errors, looked
for the cause, and came upon human ~falibility. The
obvious remedy for human error was something that

CITY HALL TRIES
IOPICK NAMEFOR
DUFF YOUNGSTER
City Engineer Miller, Who
Has Been to Sea Sug-
gests Plum Duff.
B|NGMAN'S BRIGHT IDEA
Dory Rolls Believes Wood
row Would be the Prop
er Appellation.

Most any one is sure of getting a
helping hand at the City Hall, but the
appeal of Tom Duff for lift in Sc
lecting name for that new baby
struck a responsive chord that for a
while this morning there was danger
that municipal activities ould be sus-
pended entirely while the officials took
time out to think up names for the
Duff kid.
Tom, as you probably know, is the
funny little individual who makes life
merry for readers OF The West Vir.
ginian. Recently he became the proud
father Of son and heir whose picture
was printed for the first time yester.
day when request was made that the
good, kind public take hand in Sc
lecting a name for the infant.
Mayor Anthony Bowen, when asked
what he thought a proper name for
the baby, glanced sideways at the
youngster and said Call it Badly
Duff" This name does not seem in.
appropriate as the poor baby boy has
but one hair on his dome. City En-.
gineer Shrewsbury Miller suggested
Plumb Duff. City Clerk Albert j.
Kern called it Mac Duff, and suggest.
ed that the mother when wishing to
quiet the screeching imp should say
Lay down MacDuff, and let him who
cries get a whipping" Gordy Duff
ought to. be the baby's name said ]
Walter Barnes. Albert Lehman when
asked said TOO much for me-"
Miss Minnie Polling, wishing the
youngster long life and happy one,
suggester Nebuchadnezzar Duff. Chief
Harr telegraphed that he desired his
name mentioned as the person sugs
costing Henry Drury Duff. Ira Smith
said that David Duff ought to be the
youngsters name. Charles w. Evans
thought he was unable to think up an
appropriate name himself said that
his little daughter wanted the baby
named Thomas Duff not Tom Duff"
AZ Officer Digman with his eyes toward
heaven and frown indicating deep
thinking finally after ten minutes,
blurted, Name it ]. Walter Duff"
David Deane said, Call the kid Awful
Duff" Dominick Castelucci asked for
permission to suggest name and he
said ,smilingly, Call It Victor Eman.
uel Duff"
Dory Rolls, the janitor at the city
hall who has been occasionally listen
ing to the outbursts of patriotism at
the city hall for the past several weeks
and who has become imbued with the
spirit Of the times said, why don't
they call the baby Woodrow Duff"
These names and many more which
have been telephoned to the office
here and mailed to the Comic Editor
OF The West Virginian will be filed
and when a name is selected 1t will
be printed March 10 in the comics of
that date. Perhaps the best sugges-
ton that came by mail was from Miss
Marie Craker of 423 Jones street, Man
/ nington, who wants the baby named
Junior Duff.

LINCOLN DISTRICT
IS VOTING TODAY
Prospect Good That $65O,OOO
Road Bond Proposition
Has Been Endorsed.

That Lincoln district voters have
authorized by their three.fifths major.
ity vote the issuance of $650,00O in
bonds for the building of nearly thirty
miles OF hard surfaced road in that
district, seems assured from reports
coming from various parts OF the dis.
trict this afternoon. The vote is well
represented, although several who
wished to vote one way or the other
were forced to stay at home because
OF the almost impossible condition of
the roads.
Great care has been taken in the
handling of this election that no tech.
nicalities be violated or any other
ground be given those who last year
opposed the majority vote of the dis.
trict and succeeded an delaying for a
year the districts improved highways.
With the authorizing of the bonds,
work will be started Immediately on
their preparation for sale, and in the
next few weeks bids will be asked ana
