That Have Been Prepared-Of
Different Rank and Fame
- - 80 81

New YORK Evening SUM-
The Hall Of Fame is coming on apaee.
Within a month, probably, the final
list of nominations, from which the
judges are to select the fifty they be-
Iieve to be the most worthy Of honor
ing, will have been sent out. In the
hands Of Chancellor McCracken and
the New York university senate there
are now something like 1000 different
names from which the final fifty are to
be selected. These names are Of per-
sons of every rank and sort Of fame,
from that Of a president TO that Of a
poet, and from that of a trapper to a
inancier. Chancellor MeCrscken and
his colleagues in the university senate
are preparing a list Of what seem to
them the 100 most worthy names. They
will then prepare a second list Of the
100 names which have received the
most nominations, and thirdly, they
will send a copy Of both these lists to
each one Of the judges appointed some
time ago, with the request that each
Judge will add to the two lists any
name which is not upon them which
be thinks should be there. The three
lists will then be returned to the sen
ate, combined into one and a copy Of
this final list sent out for the final
vote.
Although this care will be taken in
order to avoid the least chance of haste
or prejudice, and the final choice will
not be known for some months. Forty
of the fifty names in the two lists are
identical. They are, alphabetically:
John Adams, Samuel Adams, Henry
Ward Beecber, William Cullen Bryant,
John G. Calhoun, Rufus Choate, Henry
Clay, J. FennimOre Cooper, Peter

Hr. MAJOR. the famous cement man # AeH
YORK, explains some very interesting facts shout
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that il is many hundred per cent better
than Other eements. for which similar claims
are made, but a great many do not know Why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses he
best materials ever discovered and other nan
ufacturers do not use them. because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits. eLr,
Major tells Us that one of the elements OF hiE
cement costs SS-75 pound. and another costs
S2-65 gallon, while large share OF the so
called cements and liquid glue upon the MARKET
are s1Zteen-cent glue, dissolved IN water OF cit
nc acid, and, IN some eases, altered slightly N
color and odor by the addition OF cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle. and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upoa
it that his only object Is TO make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement Is as much as
any dealer ought 70 make on any cement. And
tins IS dOubly true In view OF the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit OF Mr.. MAI
OF advertising, which now amounts to over
5000 month. throughout the country. Estab-
hshed in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
On-hand advice from a druggist.
If you are at all handy land you viii be likely
70 md that you are good deal more 50 than
you Imaglne) you can repair your rubber boets
leather articles, with Majors Rubber Cement
and Majors Leather Cement.
And you VIII be surprised at how many dol
lars year you viii thus save.
If your druggist cant supply you. it viii be
forwarded By mail; either kind, free Of postage.

BUCOLIC MAIL ROUTE.

Perry S. Heath, until a few days ago
First Assistant Postmaster General,
contributes paper to the Saturday
evening Post, in which he takes q
most optimistic view of the future of
rural Tree delivery Of mails. This SER
vice was begun in 1897 on an appro-
priation OF $4,000, and has been gradu-
& ally extended until the appropriation
Tor the present year IS $1,75o,00o. This

stroke Of Congressional generosity that
appears less remarkable when IL is
plated Congressman have the virtual
appointment of the rural carriers. These
carriers serve about 100 families on the
Z average and receive from $500 to $500
per annum for their services. Mr..
Heath thinks 1t but q question OF time
until the system now In operation In
Carroll county, Maryland, win be ex-
tended TO all the more populous farm
ing communities of the country. This
Is the system that has been most sue
cessfui. 1t was instituted during last
winter, every minor postofico and star
route being discontinued In single
day and free delivery substituted. Mr..
Heath says of this experiment:
Thus the whole country was cover
z ed and q free delivery was brought
within easy reach OF nearly every dom
foile. Tho cost of the new service FOR
three months was found to be $A54S.

increase of postal receipts directly re-
sulting from the increased accommo-
dalton was $1.501.75. thus leaving the
net cost of the improved service for
the quarter only 1926. or less than
$1,000 a year for giving practically n
house-to-house delivery, instead OF
compelling every farmer TO be his own
postman and send for his malls"
1t is to be presumed, however, that
the conditions In Carroll county were
more favorable than in the average
county OF Maryland or OF other states
or the system which was established in
this State and discontinued, Mr.. Heath
says: 1.-THE star route contractors and
fourth class postmasters raised sufn-'
cient clamor to override the wishes OF
the rest OF the people," something he
thinks will seldom occur Indeed, the
advantages of free delivery are so OBJ
vious that it is difficult to conjecture
how it can fail to be popular whore
the conditions are favorable. There
are, however, many obstacles in the
way of the successful inauguration OF
free delivery. one of which is the abom-
Unable country roads OF nearly every
State in the Union. Where the roads
are good and the country fairly popu-
lous free delivery is all right: but
imagine the system at work in East
Tennessee or kentucky! The carrier
would fall over n precipicc and break
his neck or get plugged for II rev
enuer' before he had made his first
round. And not the least objection to
the system is the addition it would
make to the ranks of placemcn-for of
course every carrier would lose his job
when there was change of admnistra-
tons.

THE LAWYERS AND EDITORS.


To-day at Old Point Comfort the
State Bar Association and the Virgiuia
Press Association will meet in their
respective annual conventions. and for
two or three days will alternate work
with the breezes that blow, the fish
that bite ana the breakers that put n
collar on the beach. There will be
yachts and steamers-and schooncrs-
TO add TO the pleasures of this annual
outing.
1t goes without saying that Norfolk
is pleased to have the Editors and the
Lawyers of the State meet in it's front
yard. 1t would have been even more
pleased To have them meet in the
house, but realizes that the yard IS
more pleasant ut this time of the year.
and is satisfied TO have these two dis
tinguished bodies anywhere on the
premises. Nevertheless. Norfolk in this
matter is n firm ndherent OF the open
door policy" and trusts that the men
who talk and the men who write will
walk In for while. going and coming.
and see what is doing in the States
seaport and in the coming city of the
South Atlantic seaboard.
Both lawyers ana editors ought to
have good meetings this year. 1t is a
time OF broadening horizons, and there
is much that should make these last
meetings of the century memorable.
Within the State there Is q great deal
that may we'll engage the attention
OF these conventions, to the good OF the
State and all the citizens thereof. And
both conventions might engage in n
little judicious house cleaning with
distinct advantage. AS in other call
ings, there are abuses that need cor
rection. There should be In each CON
vention "A sentiment sufficiently strong
to hold ovcry member OF the profession
1t represents up to Il course of profess
sional conduct that will be entirely un-
objectionable. IT IS not sufficient that
the lawyer and tho newspaper man
should merely DO as good as their fell
low citizens, each in one respect should
be better-tho lawyer must have n
higher regard for Justice and the edl-
tor u higher regard for truth.
These conventions should supply an
antidote for the lawyer who packs a
jury and the journalist who tells half
the truth and stops.
