CARRIES COINS IN HIS EARS

California Man Has Cash Register System That Is Exclusive and Unique. Fall River Mills, Cal.—Women carry their looso change in their stockings, children put their money in their mouths, but Norris Bethel, head clerk of Florin Brothers of this place, makes a cash register of his ears. When he is Belling goods and is in a hurry for a nickel or a dime to make change, he reaches to one ear or the other and finds the needed coin. Or, if he receives a small coin and is at some distance from the cash register, he puts it into one of his ears until he has use for it or until he is close to the cash register and can relieve himself. The system is considered unique, and it is Bethel’s exclusively.
