He borrowed some from the Western Union Company and triumphantly completed his job. Now our storerooms carry ample stock of cables for regular needs or emergencies. If we run short in one section of tlie city, we borrow from some other storeroom. In unified operation of our companies we have standardized equipment so we use fewer sizes and kinds of cables than formerly. The saving through standardization in this one item will be three hundred thousand dollars in the next year.

Carstens, Assistant Cashier, Judge Glore Speaks on Action of Laws Municipal Justice Harrison C. Glore, speaking before the Republl- I can Captains' Club at 1382 Bushwtck parkway Wednesday night, asserted that until the old Gladstone Idea that "law is a rule of action laid down by a supreme beiDg" was erased from the minds of the people, the present tide of law Invasion would continue. "The conception must be," said Judge Glore, "that law is a standard of right living proscribed by a majority of the people." The speaker pointed to the prohibition question, particularly the recently passed Jones as Illustration of his point. "Show the people," he said, "through the public press and In meetings like this one that the prohibition law Is not an arbitrary decree, but a standard of right living proscribed by none other than themselves, and you will reduce violations of the liquor statutes by at least 60 per cent." Judge Glore said the prohibition law Itself was not scientifically designed to' be a -part of the Constitution of the United States, but if the people would take the right attitude oward It, it might serve its purpose and do real good.
