CLERKS
ARE ACCUSED
T. w. McGregor and c. E.
UptonsArrested Charged
With Conspiracy
.OTHER ARRESTS ARE EXPECTED

Washington, June 6.--As a result OF
the sweeping investigation of affairs at
the postofiice department Thomas W.
McGregor. a clerk in charge of the sup
plies for the rural free delivery SER
vice, and c. Ellsworth Upton, of Balti-
more, one of McGregor's assistants,
were arrested on the charge of conspir-
acy, with Charles E. Smith, OF Balti-
more. to defraud the government in the
purchase of the leather pouches fur
nished the rural carriers throughout
the country. Their cases make seven
arrests in all since the investigation
began. Other arrests are expected later.
Both we're released on $4,000 bail
The complaint sets forth that Nc
Gregor and Upton agreed with Smith
to obtain for him orders for many
thousands Of leather pouches such as
are used by rural letter carriers. The
price agreed upon was 80 cents per
pouch; the actual value was less than
80 cents. Smith was to pay to them
the difference between 80 and so cents
per pouch. It is stated at the depart
ment that the actual number of pouch
es which were purchased exceeded 20.-
600, for which the government paid
80 cents each. or $4,000 in all. Smith
received and retained of this for his
own use $4,000. The remaining $4,000
was paid toMcGregor and Upton. The
government could have bought the en-
tire number of pouches from the man
ufacturers for $4,000.
A. w. Maehen Indicted.
The grand jury has reported an in
dictment against August w. Machen,
formerly superintendent of the free de-
livery service of the postofice depart
ment, who was arrested several days
ago, charged with sharing profits on
government contracts for letter box
fasteners. The indictment was brought
for violation of Section 5501 Of the re-
vised statutes. the penalty for which
is a "hne not more than three times
the amount asked or received, and by
Imprisonment not more than three
years"
The amount which the indictment
states he received illegally is $1S,9S779.
Mr.. Machen was in court with his at
torneys when the grand jury reported,
and Immediately gave bond in the sum
Of $4,000 for his appearance inecpurt.
His sureties were o. G. Staples. Davis
Moore, f. NJ. Criswell and Emanuel
Speich, of this city. The trial viii oc-
cur in October.
BY securing an indictment against
Machen before the day set for his
preliminary hearing before Commits
sioner Taylor, the government has
scored a victory in that it has avoided
the necessity of showing its hand at
q preliminary hearing. The proceed
ings before the commissioner now will
be abandoned.

It's solemn to reflect on what we miss

4 Stunning Gown

There are this season some grades Of
voile, silk yelling that closely resembles
chiffon, and also some silk mulls, but they
are not the same, which are most aittrac-
tive materials. Accordion and side pleatings
in chiffon are always effective, and one Of
the smartest Of the model gowns this sum-
mer is a pale gray chiffon made with a
three fiounced skirt finished ait the top
Of the skirt with deep yoke, pointed in
front. The sleeves, close fitting, but in ac-
Gordon pleats, fall in full pleated ruffe ef-
feet below the elbow. A wide pointed bod
ice Of shaded gray liberty silk; fastened
with rhinestone buttons, is the only other
material on the entire gown, excepting a
small pointed and unlined yoke Of fine
yellow lace at the throat.

FOR THE
FAIR SEX
Men Emotional

Now comes to the fore a woman with
the assertion that men are more emotion
al than women. Her name is Helen Brad
ford. Thompson and she Is one Of the lead
psychologists Of the country. She COM
pleted her work in experimental psychol-
ogy at the University of Chicago two
years ago, and is now the director Of the
psychological laboratory at Mount Holy
oke College for Women IN Massachusetts,.
Miss Thompson's experiments were made
in the psychological laboratory at the Uni.
versity Of Chicago, and the results of hei
work have just been announced in the ad.
vance sheets from work published by the
University of Chicago Press, entitled
THE Mental Traits of Sex"
Seven different sets Of tests were ap
piled to each Of the fifty subjects, ant
Miss Thompson spent about 1000 hours il
maloing them.
The general results of her tests, Mis-
Thompson declares, show that the super
ior ingenuity and superior strength o
men are due ito the influences of society "a.
now organized, especially in the fact tina
the boy is taught to be independent Il
thought and action, Is encouraged in al
kinds Of outdoor exercises, while the CIR
is taught obedience, dependence and def
erence, and to shun all actions that ar
not ladylike.

Fad for Girls

An odd fad is for young girls to wear
lack chiffon and lace gowns unrelieved by
any color except round yoke at the
throat and the only trimming black Chan
tilly lace. Such gown looks as though
the wearer were in mourning, but at the
same time st must be admitted that the
transparent black is most becoming 10 a
youthful complexion and shows off any
beauty Of coloring 10 great advantage. A
gown of black chiffon and Chantilly lace
and a large fiat hat of black lace with the
lace falling over the brim, is decidedly
picturesque and really youthful.

Decline of Hot Soup

The decline of hot soup as THE first
course at dinner is becoming marked.
while thick soup is almost wholly given
up. 1t is not palatable cold, while good
strong consomme-it must be really good
and thoroughly well navored-is even bet
ter cold than hot. Most people who know
how to cat and appreciate a good dinner
regard a plateful OF soup as a preliminary
ITO delicate dishes as a mistake. 1t spolls
the appetite and leaves a flavor on the
palate. A famous gourmet once said:
when 1 go out ito a dinner that I know
will be good, 1 never take more than a
spoonful Of soup-and never thick by any
chance. Thick soup is a substantial dish. d

NERVOUS exhaustion and liver trouble so

for a long time she was very close to the Dor

could for her, but IN spite OF everything she
grew worse right along. One day | saw an
advertisement OF DR.. Miles Nervine and
