COST OF RETURNED GOODS
them as did the De Molay mem­
bers.
“ In the last analysis,” says an experienced merchant,
‘ ‘ the customer pays for the merchandise she returns. I
say ‘she’ because women do most of the shopping and
consequently most of the returning. A tremendous
amount of bookkeeping and red tape is necessitated by
the return of goods, and the cost is inevitably divided up
among the shoppers.”
This advice is given especially in view of the Christ­
mas shopping,which involves so much indiscriminate buy­
ing. It is unfair to the merchant and unfair to the shop­
per herself, as well as the other shoppers, to buy in such
haste or carelessness as to feel obliged later to return the
goods. Just a little more forethought or a little more
readiness to abide by one’s choice is better for everyone
concerned.
This is not saying that merchandise should never he
returned. A reputable merchant welcomes the return .of
goods found damaged, defective or not as represented,
and is willing to stand for a certain amount of honest mis­
takes on the part of his customers. But in'such cases,
every merchant will emphasize the fact that the goods
should he brought hack in a reasonably short-time—pre­
ferably two days.
RISING EXCHANGE RATES
Within the last fortnight the currency of two Euro­
pean countries advanced above the American dollar parity,
challenging for the first time sine ethe war, the dictator­
ship of the American dollar over foreign exchange. In the
same period the currency of a third European country
arose to par with the dollar.
On the first day the new German reichsmark was
placed on the market under the Dawes regime it sold at
23.821-2 cents, although its par exchange rate with the
dollar is only 23.8 cents. The Swedish kroner, “ worth”
26.8 cents was sold on the same day for 26.84 and the
Swiss franc was at par. It was also noted with satisfaction
that the margin between the American dollar and the Can­
adian dollar and Dutch guilder had also decreased percept­
ibly.
These are the first and long looked forward to spurts
on the foreign exchange list which recall to memory the
normality of 1914. It is only a beginning, but the consum­
mation may not be so long coming as has been the begin­
ning.
What is most important, however, is that, the begin­
ning having been made, more is hound to follow. Curren­
cies that have for so long been forced to how to the dol-
lar simply cannot afford to how to the reichsmark, say,
or the guilder. The British pound, for instance, must now
fight its way to parity, or a certain amount of British
trade will go to Germany or Holland. Something or other
must he done to the French franc, or France will not be
able to take full advantage of German reichsmarks paid as
reparations.
The dollar, of course, cannot be placed permanently
at a discount. That would he just as abnormal as having
all other currencies discounted for dollars. But it must
yield its overwhelming advantage for the sake of normal­
ity. A normal exchange market serves the best interests
of all concerned. It will come when the rule of the dollar
has been challenged by all the rest, when the dollar
simply becomes the prime minister of currencies—the
first among equals.

Forsenic Society
The Forensic Society gave a
short Thanksgiving program be­
fore the assembly W ednesday
afternoon.
Try-outs were held at the
meeting Tuesday evening at
which the following speakers
were chosen: E arl N utter, F ra n ­
ces Fahl, Lorraine Sparr and
Calla Eaton.
Mr. N uter gave a four minute
talk on “ The Meaning of Thanks­
giving’’ and the other three who
were chosen each gave two min­
ute talks rem inding the students
of some of the things for which
they should be thankful.
Seniors Select Rings
The Senior Class of the High
School have finally selected and
ordered th eir class ring. Num­
erous
representatives
having
visited the school, and many
committees have been called to
choose a few rings from the best
designs to be subm itted to the
Senior class for final elim ina­
tion. The selected ring is a
very unique and unpretentious af­
fair.
The price is nominal, the de­
sign pleasing, and the Seniors
undoubtedly will be sporting
their rings by Christm as time.

of college life, college will be
of no benefit to him.
He urged th a t students should
seriously consider going to col­
lege and think long, before de­
ciding w hat school will give the
most benefit in any particular
line.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 28. —
Parrick McGovern, New
York
contractor, has been awarded the
contract «for construction work
on the second section of the
Broad street subway at an out­
side cost lim it of $14,300,000.
It took only four days to wind
up the contract.
In 1891 McGovern arrived in
Boston from County Cavan, Ire­
land, a “ greenhorn” w ith only a
few dollars in his pockets. He
was what was called a “ fine
broth of a boy, a magnificent phy­
sical specimen and able to ‘lick
his weight in w ildcats’.”
Today he has not lost a whit
of this physical vigor. He took
a job swinging a pick and sho­
vel, this being the handiest thing
to do at th a t time.
Filled with the spirit of ad­
venture, young McGovern started
for A laska in 1894 Tn quest of
gold. He did not locate any great
treasure, but had some wonder­
ful experiences, which satisfied
his love for life in the open and
taught him the great lesson of
self dependence.
R eturning to Boston, McGov­
ern set up business In a small
way. His office and headquart­
ers was a small tool shed with an
oil lamp.
Today he has a m agnificient
suite of offices on the top floor
of a tow ering office building
overlooking the city and many of
its great public works, which h e '
has had a hand in earving o u t.!
Visible from these windows is
the .stretch of the Rockaway ;
causeway, a gleam ing ribbon of
cement.
The contractor w’ho originally
uhdertook the causeway job sunk
a cold million dollars and then
gave it up. The obstacles w’ere
too great to overcome.
The engineers in despair tu rn ­
ed to Mr. McGovern. He went at
the job with his characteristic
vigor and carried it through to
a finish.
Although lacking any technical
education, Mr. McGovern is a
born engineer. At least this was
the estim ate of C. M. Holland,
engineer of the new Hudson
River tubes, who died recently,
a M assachusetts boy from the
town of Somerset and one of the
great engineers of h i^ time.
Mr. Holland and Mr. McGovern
were close friends and had been
associated on many difficult en­
gineering problems. Mr. Hol­
land conceived and Mr. McGov­
ern carried out these words.
Mr. McGovern got his early ex­
perience in tunnel building in
Boston, which was the first city
in the country to undertake un­
derground transportation.
He
had some p a rt of the work on
the East Boston, W ashington
street and Beacon Hill tunnels.
This1 experience proved valuable
in New York when he took up
the completion of the F ourteen­
th street tunnel after this, too,
ha4 been abandoned by the orig­
inal contractors.
Among other big projects th a t
he has carried out are the Cham-
