Back in 1867.

F'ifty-eight years of service with
the National Metropolitan Bank, dur
ing which time he has advanced from
the position of messenger to that of
auditor, is being celebrated today by
Joseph Gales Moore.
Mr. Moore, who is the son of for

entered the employ of the bank July
%. 1867 doing messenger and general
work, which included giving assist
ance to the paying teller.
In those days all checks We're col
lected by messengers, the clearing
house not having been organized un-
til April, 1887. The listing was done
by hand and additions by brain work,
as there were no typewriters or add
ing machines.
First Associates Gone.
So far as MIR. Moore knows. not
single director. officer or employe OF
the bank at the time he entered its
employ is now living-yet Mr.. Moore
still is at his post. At that time John
B. Blake was president and Moses
Kelly cashier of the institution, which
was the successor to the Bank of the
Metropolis and which entered the Ma
tional Banking Association in the
Spring of 1865.
The young bank messenger, who
had graduated from Rittenhouse
Academy in June prior to his enter
ing the bank in July, soon served
as general bookkeeper. During this
period of about 20 years he was fire.
quently called upon to perform duties

ton. He was appointed assistant
cashier May %, 1895, and made

Mr.. Moore was appointed TO the po-
sition he now holds. auditor on Jan

Mr.. Moore has seen the bank grow
from a capital of $3.50. 900, deposits
of S675,00o and total assets of

capital of $500 900. deposits of more

The bank has never passed a divi-
dend, although Mr.. Moore remembers
one of them in 1874 was delayed a
short time owing to the disastrous
panic of 1878, when many large in
stitutions closed their doors
Mr.. Moores father was prominent
in the early history of Washington.
He served for more than 20 years
as member of the City Council and
Board of Aldermen, holding the DO
sition of president of the latter bod.
He was connected for 80 years with
the National Intelligencer, a news
paper, before and during the Civil
War.

LONDON RUBBER BOOM
Is ROUGH ON CLERKS
Stats Working Night and Day to
Handle Great Rush of
Orders.
Hv the Associated Press.

LONDON. July 22.-Such a rush of
business has developed from the re-
cent rubber boom that the Stock EX-
change committee is obliged to keep
its settling rooms open two hours
longer than usual daily to the semi
monthly settlement beginning today.
The Daily Mail points out that some
firms have been obliged to treble their
staffs. Some staffs are working night
and day, while there is demand for
extra assistants at high remuneration.
The rubber section of the London
Stock Exchange was surfeited with
hundreds of orders early in the week
for shares, due TO a rising market. In
the Springer last year crude rubber
sold for about one shilling per pound
on the London market. On July IL, 1t
reached 4 shillings 2 pence about 81
per pound for immediate delivery.

LATE TAXPAYERS
HAVE UNTIL
MIDNIGHT
Returns, However, Must Be in
Collectors Hands by
That Time
TiMEs sIaEE es4nTo

Washingtonians who mail their
income tax returns for the first
quarter of 1924 today are taking
the risk they will arrive in Balti-
more too late and be subject to
penalty.
Officials here pointed out today
that returns postnIarked before
midnight tonight are not considered
in time. On the contrary they must
be in the hands of Galen L. TAFT,
Collector of Internal Revenue for
Maryland and the District of Co
lumbia, before midnight.
The safest procedure for local
men and women is to personally
take their returns to the branch
office here at 1922 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, which will he
open until midnight.
Residents of the District of Co.
lumbia will have until midnight to-
night to file their returns. This is
due to the fact that March IS. the
last payment due, fell on Sunday.
Unusual ACTIVITY in those banks
and stores, where additional revenue
officers are stationed to help the
public make out their income tax
blanks, featured today's business.
Blanks mailed today will be
examined by tax experts to learn
whether the returns were mailed
in time to reach the revenue bureau
through ordinary postal channels
before midnight
