BACHE ADOPTS
BONUS PLAN

J. S. Bache and Company an
nounce the adoption of a bonus
plan for 1887 along the lines of
the profit,sharing arrangement
employed so successfully in 1886,
when over is per cent of the pro
fits of the firm were distributed
to the employees.
Essentially, the announcement
sent to the managers and staff
of J. S. Bache and Company
states that:
The plan contemplates that, of
the sum appropriated for bonus
distribution, 40 per cent is for
managers - and the balance 60
per cent is for the staff.
In determining the proportion
of the bonus each manager will
share in, recognition will be given
to the two important factors,
growth of the branch in 1887
over 1886 and net earnings of the
branch in relation to the earn
ings of all branches.
Prior to the Christmas holidays
two weeks salary was distributed
to the entire J. S. Bache and Com
pany staff. The balance due un-
der the 1885 plan was paid to all
employees throughout the AZ Of
fices in January, 1887, after
figures of the branches and the
results for the year 1886 had been
acsertained. The flexible profit
sharing method of distributing
bonuses to the entire personnel
was so well received by the branch
managers, the branch Staffs, and
the New York organization that
the firm was prompted by certain

GUN DEALER
QUESTIONED

HACKENSACK, N. j., March
IL QNS0 Freed from jail but
still guarded by detectives, Moe
Saraga, former gun dealer, was
to be grilled anew today in con.
nection with the Norman Redwood
murder case.
Information from the Bergen
County prosecutors office indi-
Gated that little progress had been
made in following the trail of the
revolver with which Redwood was
killed, and which Saraga said he
sold to a member of the Dutch
Schultz mob. Much has been
learned from Saraga, however, re-
garding the sale of firearms to
gangSterS in New York and other
cities.
Release of Saraga from jail was
accomplished secretly. He was
taken out a rear door and spirited
away to a clubhouse with an es-
cort of two detectives. Authorities
at first refused to admit that
Saraga had been freed, but later
said he had been released on his
own recognizanCe."
SaragaS attorney said he had
been i'll with diabetes, and con-
jectured that he had been per-
mitted to go to the clubhouse so
he could have more comfortable
surroundings.

Webster R. Frye Forsook Government Career
for Exciting Life Of Fire Department
Driver; Twice Cited

Webster R. Frye owes his life
Of excitement to the fact that
the life Of q Government clerk
didn't appeal to his adventurous
nature.
When it palled he got himself
a job as a fireman. From that
time on he found plenty of
everything that he wanted, in
Guiding work which kept him in
excellent physical condition.
That was before the District
Fire Department was motorized.
The new recruit was assigned as
driver for a team of spirited
horses belonging to No. 6 Truck
on Park Road.
Eventually - and before many
years-he met with an accident
which compelled him to retire,
but before that happened he laid
up a store of exciting experiences
which he still likes to recall.
When he was hurt he was driv-
ing to a fire in the home Of a
fellow fireman who was likewise
on the truck. The truck over
turned and was almost demol-
iShed. The men on it were badly
injured.

Pointing out that much Of the

Y wives who are celebrating
one of their many anniversaries far
outnumber the brides and grooms of
this, or any single year. Therefore it is
perhaps time to write something about
these anniversary celebrations. The
named anniversaries, as every one
knows, are: one year, paper; five years,
wood; ten years, tin; fifteen years,
~crystal; twenty years. china; twenty
five years, silver; fifty years, gold;
seventy-fve years, diamond.
In addition to these established
anniversaries, which are known to
every one and celebrated everywhere.
there are thirteen supplementary ones
not as yet well known nor definitely
established outside Of the gift cata-
logues of certain leading jewelers. and
slIversmiths.
This supplementary list gives calico,
muslin and silk for the second, third
and fourth anniversaries; iron, copper,

supplementary celebrations might be
very welcome as a substitute for real
one which could not be held. If, for
example, it might be found out that
the very much liked Newcomers will
have been married seven years in
June, it would be nice to give them
copper wedding surprise party rather
than to make it nothing. or to wait
three years in order to give them tin.
But it would certainly be asking too
much of any ones friends to come and
bring presents every year!

Elementary ones which may be given

The crystal wedding as we'll as the
silver wedding is celebrated by big
dinner at little tables. Or the silver
wedding would perhaps be general
entertainment such as musicale or
garden party. The most important
anniversary - the golden wedding -
is usually celebrated by somewhat
formal afternoon or evening at home.
or by family dinner after which
relatives, friends and neighbors come
in to offer their congratulations and
sometimes to proffer gifts.

decoration is supplied by setting the
table (again if possible) with gold

tions are very elaborate. the bride
perhaps wears dress with gold in its

For silver-wedding buffet table,
silver cellophane cloth decorated with
silvered artificial smilax and real lilies
would be lovely. Or this same idea
could be carried out in gold, with yell

China would, of course, be the chief
decoration on the table at the twen-

ANOTHER "MADE IN
CALIFORNIA" PRODUCT

Californians have always asserted
proudly that not only does their State
produce the most, but it also prduces
the best, and these statements have been
known to cover everything from gold to
grapefruit, from climate to prize-fight-
ers.
However, there is one California prod
uct which has met with a high measure
of success probably without coming to
the notice of even the most loyal Native
Son booster. That's the naval officer
with the stamp of "USS California" on
his record.
In the U. S. Navy the California, flag
ship of the battle force, is known as the
cradle of admirals, for the men who have
skippered the giant dreadnaught since
it was commissioned in 1921 have with
out fail advanced at least to the rank
of rear admiral.
The three most distinguished gradu-
ates of the flagship are Admiral William
H. Standley, retired; Admiral Claud c.
Block, present battle force commander,
and Admiral Edward Klabfus, battle
ship division commander.
Shakespeare once asked, Whats in a
name?" There seems to be a good deal
in the name California, even in the Navy.
