SUFFS' CLOSED
MEETING ACAUSE
FOR CURIOSITY

The regular monthly meeting of the
Fairfield County Suffrage association
which is to be held at the Weatogue
Country club in Stratford on Thurs
day, July Is, will be rather a depar-
ture from those that have hitherto
been monthly happenings for the suf-
fragists of this country

sion which is habitually given over to
reports, will be taken up by a politi-
cal talk by Miss Katherine Luding-
ton, the state president This will
be a "elosed session. only suffra-
gists being admitted. Much curios-
ity is being shown among county pol
iticians as TO just what message will
be given and what course of action
is to be outlined.
Luncheon will be served at 1
o'clock and during the afternoon
Fairfield county women will hear
from Mrs. A E. S. Taylor of Nor
folk chairman of Litchfeld county.
The presence of Mrs Taylor who is
one of the most forceful and expert
enced suffrage workers in the state,
will undoubtedly turn the afternoon
meeting into an inter-county confer
ence An unusually large attend
ance from all parts of the county is
expected.

CONDUCT AFFAIRS
 WITHOUT MONEY

Rochester, N. T., Nov. 18-A large business house having headquarters in this city has undertaken to con- duct its affairs entirely without the it intends to use checks, trade ac ceptances and travel checks to make payments of every kind, including it's payroll. As the concern deals with more than 800,000 individual cus- toners the result of the experiment will be watched with interest.
 The company's reason for adopting this method is given as an effort to demonstrate a means of ending the epidemic of payroll robberies and ito show that modern business may be conducted most efficiently without the use of small change thus leav- ing the nations money where it be- longs, in the banks, to serve as the basis of credit"
 The announcement says even car fares. hotel bills and railroad fares for the companys force of several hundred salesmen, and other sun- dries are to be paid by checks. All stamps will be paid henceforth by check and mo currency of any amount or denomination is to be car ried in any form as company prop erty."
 To meet the payroll of it's factory, the company has offered to employees either a regular pay check or the op- ton of receiving on pay day a de- posit slip showing that his earnings for the week have been deposited to his credit in a local bank. This plan is expected by the house to prove popular with the thrifty class of em- ployes and to increase the volume of bank deposits. Executive employees who have no banking account have been advised to start one at once.

SALVAGE WORK
 SUSPENDED

The Argonaut Salvage Corporation. which operates Simon Lakes inven- ton for recovering sunken cargoes, today discontinued operations for the winter season. The corporations s two steamers, the "Onwar6' and the 'Laurus,'' are now laid up at the docks and will not be taken out again until spring. The officers of the cor poration believe that the results of the past season have demonstrated beyond question the commercial possi- bility of the project. There was only one month of active operation during the past season and during that time coal estimated to be worth s25,00O was recovered from the waters of the Sound. Next year a start will be made early in the spring with higher-powered equipment and salvage operations will be conducted on a much larger scale.
