Women In Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment OF
women in the postal service new
idea. AS early as 154S woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails Of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town of France In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal Office in the postal serv-
tce of Europe was held by woman,
AleXandrine de Rue. From 1928 to
1916 she was in charge of the mails
Of the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold a place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth. N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed In charge of the post
Office in Salem, Mass.

WHAT Is PAINT3

The paint on house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply structural under layer. That
Is as 1t should be. Unprotected wood
will not well Withstand weather. But
paint made of pure white lead and
linseed oil is an invulnerable armor
against sun and rain, heat and cold.
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the house. A well-construct-
ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack of painting or by poor
painting.
National Lead Company have made
It possible for every building owner
to be absolutely sure of pure white
lead paint before applying. They do
this by putting upon every package
of their white lead their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark. That trademark
is q complete guarantee.

Troubles of People on Venus.

Inhabitants of Venus, if there are
any, must feel it extremely difficult to
establish units of time. Venus always
turns the same face toward the sun;
so the planet has no day, and the
lack of moon deprives it of a month.
Finally, it has no year, for its axis OF
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, and the latter is almost
circular

lieve the records will show such a per-
centage of entries as finished the en-
tire course as in the heavy car race.
1t was a great triumph for the Auto
mobile Dealers association and will
have a wholesome and favorable effect
on future races of the kind"
All the officials spoke in a similar
manner, and Leon T. Shelter, who
acted as chairman of the committee,
was gratified first, of course because
his Apperson car won the Ferris trophy
and, as he stated, because four of tho
entries had averaged more than sixty
miles an hour.
1t is not thought the intended protest
of Ralph Leavitt, Southern California
agent ofs the Locomobile, will be
entered, as Referee Garbutt had re-
ceived no protest last night and the
time limit for filing protests had ex-
pired. 1t was intimated that Leavitt
would protest the Stearns on account
of the size Of wheels with which that
car was shod.
Mr.. Leavitt was not discouraged over
the race of the Locomobile and has an
nounced his willingness to race any of
the cars which finished ahead of his
entry, for any amount of money.
1t is probable the race will result in
number of races, and all those who
finished well up among the leaders feel
tndC IHelf cars can 90 just little Dill
better if given another opportunity.
A race between the four leaders
would furnish a classic event and
there are a number of followers Of the
Chadwick car who are anxious to see
a match arranged.
When such events as those of Satur-
day can be carried out without an in
jury, worthy the name, or any serious
disablement Of car, it means that the
sport will steadily grow in favor and
with a world-beating course, and driv-
ers who have shown their ability, fu-
ture events are bound to attract world
wide attention.

the losers, has secured a fast short

Although Abbott, the elongated
pitcher of the winners, struck out

Thistles playing an errorless game.
"Chow Chow" Allen, on the key

MAIERS WCTORS IN
CALIFORNIA LEAGUE

The Maiers defeated the Mccormick
yesterday in a fast and desperate bat
tie which was played for the cham
pionship of the California league. The
score at the finish was Maiers 7, Nc
Cormicks 2.
Pitts of the Vernon club started the
mound work for the Maiers, but was
replaced by "Shoes" Phhrman. Pitts
wildness was the cause of McCormicks
five scores, as but two hits were
scored off him by the Boosters"
Phfirman was steady as a clock and
the McCormicks' scoring stopped i'm
mediately upon his entry in the box.
Clark of the Boosters" was also bad
in winging them over walking eight of
the Brewers.
Stadelles hitting and fielding and
Moores and Obiole's batting work were
the features of the exciting contest.
Captain Shorty" of the Maiers was
removed from the field by Umpire Jim
Lloyd for abusive language. Obioles,
who took his place, practically won the
game and the pennant for the Meters
by doubling to center In the eighth
with three men on base scoring two.
He himself scored afterwards on
Phfirman's bingle to left.
The game was witnessed by one of
the largest crowds ever seen at South
side. Fully 1000 persons witnessed the
contest. This game wins the pennant
for the Maiers, and the glory goes to
little Obioles, who made it possible fol
the Brewers to draw down the prize.
A special meeting will be held Thurs
day night of this week at Mccormick s
for the purpose of settling the league
affairs. All managers are earnestly re-
quested to be present.

Edison Player Is Star

The Edison team yesterday after
noon on the Athletic park diamond at
Fourth and Indiana streets defeated
the Downey club by a score of 7 to 4.
The work of McGaugh and Pendleton
of the Downey team was of high class
order. Edward Stewart for the wire
stringers should be awarded a Carnegie
medal for his excellent catch-one of
the most phenomenal ever witnessed
on the Athletic park diamond.
Encoe center fielder for the Edisons,
hit the ball over the right field fence
for a home run and was presented
with a two dollar bill by Manager
Bondie of the park.
Nalle played in big league style for
his team. Cornett twirled a good game
and Downey did not find him until the
sixth inning. Pitcher Newton held
the heavy Edison sluggers down to five
hits, but errors by his teammates lost
the game. A large crowd was present.
