IRONS Of the sailors Of Uncle Sans

an editorial on this subject In The

is never occurred to people that most
fashions have their beginning in
some special utility? II you ever
tried to roll up pair Of ordinary
trousers SO as to go wading you will
see at once why it Is that Jack Tar's
pants are cut In the shape that they
are. Sailors often have to get into
water UP to their knees, and it is
figured that the width of the bell
bottom Of their trousers should be
Of about the circumference OF the
sailors thigh, so that he may, with
one motion, pull them up over his

trying first the plan OF kindness.

met by a man waving a red flag.
T When they halt the machine to see
what Is, the matter, the man hands
them a card, which reads: "The Sc
lectmen of Middleboro are going to
stop fast driving through this town.
Before resortlng to several perma-
nent traps they have kindly given
permission to the Middleboro Auto

go In less than two and one-half

Postal Savings, Rank.

Gated thrift among that Class of wage
carriers who keep no account at the
bank, and whose savings are Of the
smallest. In ,forty-fiye% years the
postal depositors In England and
Wales had grown/to over 100000,
with savings Of 100000. The
postal deposits in Scotland, IreIandI
Canada, Australia, and the British
colonies amounted to 100000
more. Other countries that have a
postal department are France, Aus
tf1a, Hungary, Italy, Sweden, and
Belgium. One Of the principal val
ues OF the postal savings plan is that
given book, the man who Is saving
may buy. stamps at the nearest post
office and paste then in his book.
They are then cancelled and the
amount OF their face value is credit
ed to the saver when he presents his
book. In England no man may de-
post more than $3.50 a year, the
system being entirely designed for
the benefit Of the poor.
