EXHIBIT (11.1)----STATEMENT RE:  COMPUTATION OF DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted  earnings per share computations assume the exercise of stock options to
purchase  shares  of common stock. The shares assumed exercised are based on the
weighted  average  number  of shares under options outstanding during the period
and  only  include  those  options for which the exercise price is less than the
average  share  price  during the period. The net additional shares issuable are
calculated  based  on  the  treasury  stock method and are added to the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period.
