They were eager to Join something it made little matter what. This eagerness attracted the attention of a gtjiyip of obliging undergraduates and they proceeded to pledge the two aspirants tor‘fraternal honors. They dressed. them up in grotesque garb, they hung long plaid ribbons on them, they stationed them at street corners to be the laughing stock of passersby, and the two boys submitted to It. ail with the utmost cheerfulness if not eagerness because they had.the lt<h ultimately to be able to attach a k-y <>r a pit.i < r a badge of some sort to their vest fronts.

McCormick has been making SIO,OOO a year out of it in addition to his salary of $8,500. Almost every couple he marries—and he marries about 300 a week — make him a little gift after the ceremony, McCormick said. They give him from $1 to $lO, and rarely S2O. Those gifts and his salary enabled him to bank $229,000 between 11125 and October 19 of this year. His own estimate of his “gift" Income. however, lacked $150,000 of accounting for his total deposits in that

period, and McCormick confessed himself unable to explain that sum. The questions Mr. Seabury asked the deputy clerk made it clear that the counsel thought McCormick had been getting * gift s’’ of S2O much oftener than he did the smaller sums, and that a larger income from that source would account for the $150,000. McCormick denied this, however. The examination of l>eputy Clerk McCormick's bank accounts revealed for the first time what a profitable office the “marrying clerk" has. McCormick said he has been In the city employ ten and a half years and has been Tammany leader in the Twenty-second Assembly district for thirty-eight years.

The “marriage chapel” In the municipal building is a room about 100 by 15 feet, fitted up with two palms furnished by the park department, a desk, and a couple of chairs on a platform. “Did you ever ask for money ’when marrying a couple?” Mr. Seabury asked. «. “I never have.” “Wasn't there a little drawer in that desk, and wasn’t it ’your practice to keep that drawer open and have a S2O bill in plain sight?** “No, sir l” >4ll Ground |O House yi Chicken salad, toasted rolls and olives with a hot or cold beverage are suitable evening refreslynents.

Perfect Receivers to Penetrate Dense Fog New York.—Photoelectric receivers which will enable an airplane pilot 1 to pick up light signals through fog several piites thick have been perfected. Dr. Irving Langmuir told the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

No Need to Sigh for Those “Good Old Days” Factory working hours varied with the sun back in the 1850 s. for candles provided unsatisfactory illumination. Each employee was given a “bell card,” showing what time the factory starting bell would ring for each day. > A typical card of the period. Issued by the Robbins & Lawrence company, machinery builders of Windsor, Vl, and reproduced in the seventy-fifth anniversary number of the Iron Age, reveals that starting time ranged from 6 in the summer months, to 7:26 during the winter. Stopping time, too, followed the sun, from 6 in the summer, and as early as 4:42 in December. The average “for the year was ten working hours. But getting to work at 6 was not the worst of IL For some unknown reasqn the “wake-up” bell was rung an hour and a half earlier, at the ungodly hour of 4:30. Come to think of IL they probably needed the full 90 minutes between rising and getting to work. For they had no safety razors, no gas stoves to boil the coffee or quickly cook the eggs, no trolleys, busses or flivvers toishorten the trip from home to shop! No wonder our grandfathers were bearded gents. Imagine hopping out of a nice warm bed with the thermometer at 10 above. Inside and outside the lighting an ice-cold stove, waiting for the water to boil, and drawing with [shivering hand a straight razor over/a stiff beard with a gooseflesh fpumfiation. Those were the good old pays ! Mountain* of Mystery South America has a moaning mountain. At certain seasons a deep note booms from Mt. El Bromados in the Chilean Andes. Another curious mountain exists in Nevada, in the United States. It gives out a note resembling at first the jingling of bells, and ending with a deep organlike swell. In both cases the sounds are due to a peculiar formation of the earth, which under certain conditions of weather allows the separate particles to rub against each other, ana so produce uncanny effects? Eigg island, off the Scottish eoast, has its “singing sands.” In England there is a mountain which howls. This is Cross Fell in Westmorland, where local conditions produce a gale and an awe-inspiring scream that at times can be heard for miles.

World Prone to Judge Value by Appearance Fifty years ago it was Said that only a millionaire could afford to bo careless in his attire. That exception no longer holds. Today every one, rich or poor, who expects to keep * place in the civic procession, must give heed to bls personal ‘appearance. The nearer a man is tj? the anxious seat, the more marked should be the straight greasesjn his trousers Progress In every white-collar line of business depends to a considerable extent on keeping the collar whlta In other words, personal appearance other things being equal, is the determining factor whether, the road ahead will lead up or down. Slovenliness in thought and action —and such a suggestion is fatal in the modern business world. Competition was never so keen and he who would meet It successfully must dress the part Fortunately, In hard or easy times, the law of compensation remains on the job. When money and work are harder to get, clothing of good quality is easier to obtain. Nevei did the dollar go as faj in ministering to personal appearance. Never was the opportunity more patent for stocking the x wardrobe before the good times return and clothes will no longer be procurable at present low prices.
