Honolulu, T. H., Oct. 23.
Hawaii's glorious sunsets are being
"harnessed" to the drab treadmillof
scientific facts and figures.
Prof. Willard J. Fisher, late of the
University of the Philippines, is en
gaged in taking sunset observations
in Honolulu, which, it is hoped, may
be used to correct existing light re
fraction tables whereby navigators
will be greatly aided in figuring the
locations of their ships while at sea.
Present tables, according to Prof.
Fisher, permit observations no lower
than 15 degrees from the horiion.
By minute figuring of the bending
of the sun's rays as it sinks behind
the Pacific beyond the beach at Wai
kiki, Prof. Fisher hofes to. add ma
terially to exactitude in refraction
tables. When his observations are
complete he will forward the results
to Prof, tomstock of the University
of Wisconsin, who is collecting simi
lar data from different parts of the
world and by whom the final cor
rections in the refraction tables will
be made. - ,-

Paris, Oct. 23. An American cit

mittee! for the Relief of the Near
East, has arrived in Constantinople
from Baku with the; first complete
details of the establishment of the
bolshevik regime in Awbaidjanj
His confidential report, signed and

Department of State in Waslfington.
Through his courtesy, The Bee is
able to publish for the first time au

promises from Moscow that her in

According to The Bee's informa
tion, there no longer exists such an
independent state. While it has its
dummy government, Gontrol. of all
affairs are in the hands of various
"commissions" from Moscow, and
the country is ruled by the terrorist
organization known throughout Rus

commission.
At his own request, The Bee with

iHow Merchants Keep an Eye on You
There's No Guess Work About Credit System Main
tained by Retail Bureau If You're Slow to
.Pay They Know and "Dead tfeats" Haven't a
Chance in Omaha Stores.
The debt paying habits of 250,000
persons are on file on the second
floor of the Leflang building, Six
teenth street and Capitol avenue.
There is located the office of the
Associated Retailers' Credit bureau,
an organization which has been in
existence since 1912. .
It has one business m life the
establishment of the credit of every
man woman and child who opens
a credit account in 400 retail stores
and banks in Omaha, members of
. the organization.- s . ; , -
A man's wealth makes no differ
ence. If he is worth a million he is
put on file in the organization's of
fice and if he is slow in meeting his
obligations he is given a poor rating.
. The number of persons indexed
sa.1 filed in the organization sur
passes the population of Omaha.
,Chis, because out-of-town customers
are put on record, the same as the
Omaha customers, J. W. Metcalfe,
secretary of the organization, ex
plained. Look at the Rating Cards.
The minute a man, woman or child
applies for credit in an Omaha store
which is a member of the organiza
tion, the clerk says "excuse me," or
sends the would-be creditor to the
credit man. In that event the cred
it man savs "excuse me' ana calls
the Associated Retailers Credit, bu-
? reau. -,
"How's so and so? he asks.
,j3ftakes the clerk about two- mln
mir to find the ratine card of the
r 1 person desiring credit and give the
2l retail store credit man the informa-
.7 tion desired.
4 The credit bureau s rating usually
J decides whether further credit . will
be extended or not '
If the customer is new to the city,
, ing to -the satisfaction of its. mem
bers, Mr. Metcalfe stated.
the retail store's credit man decides
whether to put him on the books or
not.
Then the customer is put on file
in the rating bureau. From that
time until he leaves Omaha every
move he makes in the credit busi
ness is filed and his bill-paying
status is decided on the information
on file.
Outline Omaha Plan.
In some of the larger stores there
is a direct Jine from the desk of the
credit man to the bureau. The di
rect telephone lines leading into the
bureau number five.
A majority of the members send
their, credit transactions daily to the
bureau.
The Omaha plan is looked upon
as one of the best in the middle
west. On October 25 Mr. Metcilfe
will go to St. Joseph to speak to the
retailers there and outline the Oma
ha plan. St. Joseph is contemplat
ing the opening of a similar bureau
From St Joseph Mr. Metcalfe will
go to Kansas City' and speak before
members of the credit bureau there.
The Kansas City bureau is functicn-
