TOP HOLDS
UP BANK BUSINESS
EFFICIENCY BUG FINDS GAME
CAPTURES EVEN DIREC-
TORS OF BANK

NEW YORK-This Is the day of
efficiency and the toddle top. This be-
ing affirmative. the burden of proof
rests with next paragraph.
A most modern efficiency expert,
with long training in seeming err
rors behind him and a long nose for
smelling mistakes, was engaged a few
days ago by one of the largest bank
ing concerns in Manhattan.
The expert sensed there must be
something wrong with the institution
If 1t hired him. He proposed to find
1t. He spent hours on the company's
books and inspecting the amount of
waste paper in the litter basket in
pursuit of the uneconomical employee.
He associated with the personnel of
the bank, and then he discovered
something.
Exactly seventeen minutes are
wasted every day by one--half the
employees of the concern, the expert
found, in the pursuit of pleasure, the
lust for gambling via. the toddle top.
The toddle top, as you know, is a
young prism on a spindle. each of the
octagon sides bearing such inscrip-
tions as Put one" Take two" Put
all" Take ALL" etc. The idea Is that
you put in" one cent, one dollar, or
whatever you are playing for, or take
out the corresponding medium of ex-
change.
The toddle top, as you know, is
unlawful. There's a ban against It.
You do, too. know 1t.
Anyway the efficiency expert wrote
out his report. 1t was submitted to
the board of directors Of the banking
concern. An executive session was
called to consider the toddle top. The
session continued for more than an
hour. The efficiency expert tired OF
waiting. At the end of another half
hour the expert opened the door to
the executive chamber to inquire the
hour when the session would be over.
On the floor of the chamber knelt
and sat the IL directors. One Of them
was in the act Of spinning the toddle
top. It spun and stopped.

The trunk was Checked" but after
the "czzing" ceased the weight had
fallen below the excess limit"

To PAY INCOME

Penalties to Apply for DeIin-
quency After Midnight;
Collections to Be Less than
in 1920

This is the last day to pay your
income tax. If by midnight your
return has not been filed with the
collector of internal revenue, you
will be subject to a rs per cent PEN
atty on the tax due for failure to
file a return and per cent PEN
atty for failure to pay the tax. And
then the tax will be added a penalty
of per cent month as long as it
is unpaid.
Returns are coming in rapidly
now" James D Hannah, collector
in charge of the local office, said
last night. Somewhere between
s 900 and 5000 returns have been
filed already. Last year the total
number of returns was about
10000.
while we cannot accurately es-
innate the number of returns that
will be filed this year it is already
apparent that the amount of tax
collected will be probably 20 per
cent below last years collection.
This is due partly to the slump in
the wool market and partly to the
fact that the department is per-
mitting merchants to make inVen-
tories on market instead of an cost
prices"

yesterday and Mr.. Hannah expects

. 1t was learned that the various
organizations have been holding
conferences the last few days and
all have virtually agreed to decline
the wage cuts and let the matter
go to the labor board. The work.
ers hold that the figures and data
submitted by the railroads do not
show sufficient cause for the re-
ductions and cannot be substanti-
ated.
That the railroad workers had
agreed on policy to fight the re-
ductions was indicated by their
move in advancing one week the
date for the second conference
with the New York Central Off
cials This conference was origi-
nally set for March %.
The latest reductions proposed
by the railroads was made today
by the Central railroad of New
Jersey, which would cut wages OF
all unskilled labor from 10 to II
cents per hour, effective April /.

their final reply to this proposal
