THE MARINE POSTAL SERVICE
Work That Requires Science, Skill
and Nerve.
From the Detroit Journal

From the Detroit Journal.
During the month of July just pass
ed 1928 vessels passed Detroit besides
the regular passenger steamers. To
these ships of all kinds the United
States marine mail carriers delivered
IS, S16' pieces of mail and collected 49,
Ash pieces. They also issued 81 money
orders for total sum of $1,S74.14.
If the marine mail service for the
Great Lakes maintained at Detroit
were, to be suddenly suspended, it is
certain now that protest would go up
that would echo from Lake Superior
to the postmaster generals office at
Washington. But there is no danger
that this much appreciated and de-
cidedly efficient branch of Uncle Sans
service will ever be dispensed with dur
ing the season of navigation. On the
contrary, it is more than likely that
the next few years will see the appro-
priation increased and perhaps another
carrier added.
There was an average of 106 vessels
that passed Detroit every day during
July. To get to all of these, as the
crew of the mailboat are expected to
do, is no small task. 1t is a job re-
curing science, skill and nerve, and
sometimes great HdSle. fOT instance,
when, as occasionally happens, there is
fleet of seven or eight or a dozen
vessels in the river at the same time,
no time can be wasted. The Florence
B., the tug on which the mail is sort
ed and prepared for the freighters,
steams up and down the river, towing
the smaller boat, releasing it at close
quarters to a. big fellow, then picking
it up after the delivery, only to repeat
the process. Day and night the Flor
ence b. is in the river or at the dock
for a moments rest, but ready to hur-
ry over to the channel at the first
sight of an approaching vessel.
The work in the small boat is very
exciting and no less perilous. Once
released from the Florence B., the car
rier, with a few strong strokes, puts
his rowboat apparently in. the path
of the approaching leviathan. Then
with a light coiled line in his hand he
stands erect in his tiny shell while the
big bow bears down upon it. When
it seems that boat, carrier and all are
about to disappear in the swirl Of
water in front of the ploughing bows,
the coil of rope flies swiftly through

detriment. In the end the brilliant,
successful actress retired from the
field and gave back the misguided hus-
band TO his young and still trustful
wife. The scenes in which this was
accomplished were full of pathos, and
the effects were ably wrought out by
the members of the company. The

man is George Forbes, Jr., formerly a
prominent young lawyer Of Baltimore
and Annapolis. Mr.. Forbes work leads
his friends TO expect great things of
him in the near future. Miss Eleanor

stage late, but made a creditable rec

poet; Mr.. Lessey, as Sir Charles Po-
naander; Mr.. DAILY, as Triplet. and Lii
hand Kashner and Marie Morrison, as
the Triplet children. The little ones
were especially good, as, indeed, were
all the members of the company.

one that will prove the adage of the

From the Spectator


One Of the easiest Obstacle prob
lens is that of drawing some object
which the animal wishes for through
set of bars or wire. This is a COM
mon difficulty in the daily life of cap
tive animals, and one in which it would
be quite easy to note their respective
shifts and devices. The cleverest mode
of coping with difficulty somewhat of
this nature now exhibited by any ami
NAL in London is the way in which the
large African elephant at the Zoo. re-
stores to his would-be entertainers all
the biscuits, whole or broken, which
strikes the bars and falls alike out of
his reach and theirs in the space be-
tween the barrier and his cage. He
points his trunk straight at the bus
cult and blows them hard along the
floor to the feet of the persons who
have thrown them. He clearly knows
what he is doing, because if the biscuit
does not travel well he gives it harder
blow.

Joslin," an old Vermont farmer, re-
ceives a letter informing him that his
half brother has died in England,
leaving him his entire fortune, provided
he never marries, and in case he is
married the money goes to Alvin s
nephew, a young New York broker, pro-
vided he is not married. Unfortunate
ly for him (Alvin) he is married, but
in order to retain the fortune, he gives
his shrewish better half the slip and
goes TO New York to visit his nephew,
TO whom he represents that he Is sim
gle man. While in the city he meets
with strange adventures and gets into
all sorts OF troubles, and his efforts TO
extricate himself furnish endless
amusement. AIvin's wife traces him to
New York and her appearance on the
scene adds TO the complications. AL
, though comedy element is exceedingly
strong, there are several dramatic sit
uations and thrilling climaXes. Sever
al we'll known points of interest in New
York are faithfully represented by spe-
cial scenery. Among the principal
scenes carried are the Grand Central
depot. Pier 20 East River with a view
of the Brooklyn Bridge by moonlight,
a thieves den in Baxter street. and a
typical Bowery concert hall. During

Notwithstanding the heavy rains
of a few days the SUI came forth in
all it's splendor Sunday morning,
and the Eagles screamed with joy

$50 visitors, and headed by the NJ.
w: A"bands pf Superior and Vir-
ginia d line of march was formed
and fully 800 people were in line as
they passed through the principal
streets of the city. Returning to
the depot the party embarked for
Davis, from which point march
ed to the picnic grounds at beauti-
full St. Mary's lake.
Fully 1000 people partook of the
hospitable spread, and the after
noon was spent in social enjoyment
and amusements. Among the spec
ial attractions offered was a catch
as.catch-can wrestling exhibition
and a friendly boxing contest, and
a trio from VIM. Campbelrs Aunt
Jerusha company, comprising the
superb voices of Chas. Gilroy, ]. w.
Kennedy and Harry Lecompte, fa-
vored the crowd with several vocal
selections.
The party returned to the city at
