AN ORIGINAL WAY TO SAVE.
(By The Associated Press.)
Paris, Oct. 24.—A tanned dough
boy on holiday recently stepped up to
the counter of a casino on the coast of
Britany and asked for a bathing suit.
He deposited the five francs required
of all patrons.
“You get your money back, you
know, when you return the suit,” said
the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion girl at the counter. “Sure, I
know it,” said the soldier, grinning.
! “That’s why I’m hiring this suit. I’m
not going in swimmin.’ I’m just go
ing to hang onto the suit until it’s
time for me to return to camp. Then
I’ll turn it in and have at least five
francs in my jeans. Get me?”
His five francs went on deposit in
this unusual “bank.”
