at the iu institutions that n clerk
who stops work at d p. m. can get dinner

The clerks arc perpetually haunted by
a dread lest they are watchod by dotcctcctives
of tho Secret Servico. Toat sort
of thing is sometimes done, bvit only

who suspects that so nothing is wrong.
If a man who occupies a responsible

Oddly enough, the clerk wno misbehaves
in such ways is usually not a now man,
