An interesting document was brought
to light during the celebration of the eigh-
tieth anniversary of the founding Of de-
partment store in Chicago. Someone in
that organization had preserved the rules
for employees of their first store which
read as follows:
''Store must be opened from a. m. to
9 p. m. the year around.
''Store must be swept; counters, base
trimmed, filled and chimneys cleaned !;
pens made; doors and windows opened; a
pail of water, also a bucket of coal brought
in before breakfast (if there is time to do
SOY and attend to customers who call.
''Store must not be opened on the
for few minutes.
"The employee who is in the habit of
smoking Spanish cigars, being shaved at
the BARRIERS, going to dances and other
places of amusement, will surely give his
employer reason to be suspicious of his in
tegrity and honesty.
Each employee must pay not less
than SIS per year to the church and must
attend Sunday School regularly.
MAN employees are given one eve
ming a week for counting and two if they
go to prayer meeting.
after IA hours of work in the store,
the leisure hours should be spent most in
reading"
Who was it heard signing for "the
good old days!''

thy Associated PressI

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The
flight of capital to sthe United
States during 1888 is wildly
sketched by the rising trend OF
the dollar in terms of principal
foreign currencies.
The French franc, for example,
crashed from a January peak of
3.40A cents to 2.57 cents at the
time of the Munich settlement in
September, a slump of Is per-
cent.
This stemmed partly from the
"revaluation" carried. out by Pre-
mier Daladier's DEGREES, and
partly from the hurried depar-
ture of nervous capital.
The British pound suffered a
smaller setback, in terms of the
dollar, by slumping from a Feb
ruary top of $500 7-8 to $4.60 in
September, down nine percent. .
Weakness in this instance re-
suited from the unbalanced trade
position and an accompanying
flight of skitish funds.

CITY ON CASH BASIS

Under an arrangement being worked
out for city council by Councilman William
H. MonsaNatge, who now is also men,
Der Of Monroe County Commission, the
municipal government is operating on a
cash-as-you-go basis. In other words,
available cash received by the city from
this time forward will be applied first to
current bills and salary accounts, with any
balances being applied to old debts.
Included in the program is complete
audit of the city's books to determine the
exact amount of floating Indebtedness, es-
timated to be approximately 5000, 900, by
volunteer group of auditors consisting Of
|. COL. louis Brinton, Henry Brewer and
Everett Winter, retired businessmen with
extensive auditing experience When the
audit is completed and the debt deter
mined, certificates of indebtedness bearing
low rate of interest over a long period Of
municipal employees to cover their bills and
salaries. These certificates would be re-
tired from balances over and above cur
rent operation expenses and those that
would be retired would be determined by
lot.
r. E. Crumnfer, the city's fiscal agent,
has approved the general setup advanced
by the Councilnaen and is expected in the
city shortly to discuss the details with the
councilmanic body. drummer also an
nounces that some Of the cases pending
against the city involving the payment of
old municipal bonds are being settled un-
der the bond refunding program.
These are two important develop
nnents-placing the city on cash basis,
with all expenditures carefully scrutinized
by the council, and settling the bond suits
in such maner as to eliminate the neces-
sity of direct taxation to satisfy judgments.
Under the first system the city should save
money, pay bills every month, meet the
monthly payroll and provide more eff
cient operation of the municipal services
Under the bond refunding program the
annual interest charges are reduced, tax
payers are not confronted with prolIibitive
taxation to meet court judgments and ade-
quate revenue for meeting current opera
ton expenses is virtually assured.

from Nassau to New Orleans.
Captain Demeritt said he did not
look at the boat sufficiently to
get its name. Captain Demeritt
is the only one, so far as known,
who got a glimpse of the strand
