place know whether January is a
bank holiday in Peking or Athens or

It's hard enough to keep tabs on the
81 holidays rampant in these United
States. 1t therefore becomes neces-
sary to send an expensive cabIegram
to get the information This sort OF
thing happens not once, but many
times, in every banking house with
an extensive foreign business. The
Guaranty Trust Company found if
was spending several hundred dollars
year in telegraph and cable tolls TO

hence the value OF having this infor-

Broadly speaking. these days when

kinds. those established by custom
and those established by the church.
In recent years governments. perceiv-
