I CLOSING HOUR IS SUA-PUZZL- E That never ending question of the closing hour is still agitating the minds of a nurnbor of Bingham peopl. Its one thing one day and another the next, or it seems that way at least. After the closing hour for the stores was fixed along came an order that the cafes, candy stores, soft drink es-tablishments, cigar stands, drug stores coffee houses and so on, would have to wind Up the days work at ten in the evening. This caused some lit-tle nervousness in the camp an espec-ially the ;afcs made afprotest, as many of their customers were men who came on p.nd went off shift at midnight and these men hated to go to work or to bed without a bite to eat The mat-ter was presented to the commissioner and he saw the wisdom of the request and gave orders that the restaurants might stay open until one a. m. This order was later revoked and made 12:30 a.m. After the restaurants got fixed up properly there was still worry In the cainn because a number of the amuse-ment places alleged that a great por-- tion of their revenue came in after ten. Then cane changes this- w that until iMonday night when all the candy stores, coffee houses, soft drink places, with a few exceptions, kept open as usual until a way late In the night. : . ; " REVEALS WORKING OF SPY SYSTEM Chicago, July 17.
