11. Numbers
95. Dates.—Observe the following rules concerning dates:
1. Write year dates always in figures: as, 1776.
2. Write month dates in figures when preceded by the name of the month: as, July 7, 1916. When the name of the month does not precede, spell out the date: as, Bills are due on the tenth.
3. Do not write the day before the name of the month: as, the 25th of December for Dec. 25.
4. Do not put a d, nd, st, or th after a date: as, Sept. 7th for Sept. 7.
96. Money.—When mentioning sums of money, use figures for all amounts over one dollar; spell out all sums below a dollar: as, $5.75, fifty cents. But if in the same sentence it becomes necessary to mention sums above and below a dollar, use figures for all.
97. Street and District Names.—Spell out street, ward, district, and precinct names designated by numbers: as, Second ward, Tenth precinct.
98. Sporting Records.—Use figures for sporting records: as, 10 feet, 5 inches; Time, :493/5; 18-2 balk-line.
99. Beginning of Sentences.—Do not begin a sentence with figures. If impossible to shift the number to a later place in the sentence, place about or more than before the figures: as, More than 14,000 persons passed through the gates.
