WOMEN DEAD-BEATS
Dead-beats are keeping pace with the times in London, says a report of the Trades, Credit Association. There are to-day 10,000 women dead-beats there and about 52,000 men, an increase of approximately 10 per cent, over the records of last year. Several hundred employees of the association keep tab on the people who are slow or will not pay their bills. A collection department is also run by the organisation, and when paying calls on "tough" customers, who have been notified three times that certain bills aro due, the collectors wear bright red uniforms so as to attract the attention of the neighbourhood.
