Make your plans so attractive that

Try this for change: With each
dollar cash sale give war savings
stamp, if the goods are carried home
by the purchaser. Eliminate the
charge system. Let your honest
buyers know that they are paying
you sufficiently to cover your losses
on those that use your goods and do
not pay you; and that the honest
buyer is paying the extra to cover
these losses caused by the improvi-
dent. Also let them know that the
actual expense of charging and de-
livering the goods runs to about 10
per cent of the charges that you get
for each item sold them. Tell them
that you can use cash in discount
ing, and save even more for them,
for you want only a reasonable liv-
ing and profit from your labors. It's

passed late to-day by the Senate with
many notifications in the form it was
passed by the House. 1t goes now to

For nearly two weeks the measure
has been under debate from time to
time, its opponents attacking the hous-

sity' is made by Federal judge and
unless the property is needed for ex-

point where each side began to debate

Necessity for the speedy manning of
all available ships was presented to
owners and union leaders by various
high officials. Secretary Baker said

cambridge Colby, a member. Of the
board, in dramatic plea for forbear-
ance and patience, stirred the confer

time for any but brave men and big
men, who could forget their petty
quarrels, especially politics.
"We've got to work efficiently, we've
got to agree" he said. eff we don't

of the boards recruiting and training

ing foreign officers, provided sufficient
American officers are not obtained, Cap
tain w. A. Wescott, president Of the
Masters, Mates and Pilots of the

by Raymond B. Stevens, as member
Of the Shipping Board, that none but
Americans would be put on American
ships.
Gaptin Wescott said young Ameri-

come ship officers, and remarked that

pledged not to sail under. or take orders
from any but American officers.
Cannot Delay Munitions Ships
Mr.. Howard replied it was tho plan
to employ only Americans, if they can
be obtained, but that lack of men will
not be allowed to delay the movement

That reonened the controversy over
living conditions, which are blamed by
union officials for the shortage Of
Americans seeking employment on the

maintain order, and was on the first
note when the crowd broke down the
police lines and surged toward the
fountain, over which a temporary
stage had been erected Caruso
stopped and the the crowd halted in
disappointment.
The Metropolitan chorus, hover, ap-
peased the audience by singing patri-
otto airs, and Leon Rother, the Metro

The Seventh Regiment Band played
selections from Verdi's operas.

City Defrauded of
Enormous Amount,
Investigator Says
Graft and Lack of System
in Snow Removal Sub.
ject of Report

Charging that the city has been de-
frauded out of hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars during the last four years
because of lack Of system in the
Street Cleaning Department, Commits
sioncr Of Accounts David Hirshfeld
submitted preliminary report to
Mayor Hylan yesterday on his inves,i-
cations of alleged graft in that de-
partment. The investigation has not
been completed as yet and nothing has
been done in the way of changing the
system criticised.or of Furnishing those
guilty of grating. Both moves, how
ever, are expected to be made shortly.
In the report of the COMMISSIONS
comments on the fact that the faulty
system, particularly as to the employ
ment of emergency laborers during the
snowstorms, was installed at the di
rection of the Bureau of Municipal
Research four years or more ago. He
adds that the bureaus recommends
tions were made after it had had the
assistance of the efficiency staff at
tached to his office up to the presen,
year
The report cites two specific in
stances Of grating discovered in the
months of January and February. I
also calls attention to the fact thai
when it became generally knowr
through the Street Cleaning Depart
ment that investigators from tn.
Commissioner Of Accounts office were
abroad in the city there was a marked
decrease in the grating, with the re
suit that. although approximately ths
same amount Of snow fell in Januar,
as in December. the work Of remova
cost the city about 100000 less.
Commi ssioner Hirshfield pointed ou
in his findings that at present thu
only check put On reports of foremer
was put there by the foremen them
selves. He insists such system i.
bad, inasmuch as any one who is at
tempting to defraud the city is no
likely to report his own fraud.
The Commissioner stated that whe,
he was ready to submit complete re-
port he would at the same time rec
ommend system of checking the en-
ployment of emergency laborers
which will include counter checkins
by beth the Street Cleaning Depart
ment and the Finance Department.
