Gated in the law. Then he came
to New York to be great lawyer.
But one day the dream of bor-

came to him. 1t was foolish that
New York should be an island, he
thought. True, nature had sur
rounded it by water. But beneath
the water was earth. If human
beings could travel through this
earth, Manhattan island would no
longer be bound by water.
McAdoo dreamed and talked.
Tens of millions heard him. Two
great firms had failed, In years be-

McAdoo proposed. So McAdoo was
handicapped. But he couldn't stop

The millionaires at last listened

TACOMA ELKS WILL
HEAD BIG PARADE
LINEUP OF WEDNESDAYS PA
GEANT IN SEATTLE SHOWS
LOCAL LODGE IN FIRST
PLACE,

Tacoma will get the place of
honor in the Elks' parade at Sc
attic Wednesday forenoon. The
line up of the procession was re-
ceived from the Seattle lodge this
morning by Secretary ID. j. Will
iiams and 1t shows Tacoma in the
first place. with Everett second in
line.
Arrangements are now complete
for the big day. The steamer
Flyer will leave on a special trip
at z a. m. and on the return trip
will leave Seattle at IL p. m.
Advices from Seattle state that
the Elks who are to take part In
the big hippodrome and circus are
now perfect In their parts and the
show will be the biggest thing
ever seen in the Elliot Bay city.
The event will take place in the
exposition stadium.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the day will be the parade
at the exposition grounds in the
afternoon. 1t so happens that the
Y. w. G. A. women are to give a
parade on the grounds at the same
time that the Elks are showing off.
This may lead to complications.
The Tacoma Elks will be watched
closely by the local leaders to see
that they do not stray away and
get into the wrong procession.

Did you ever stop to wonder
how many letters 60 through the
Tacoma postoffice In q day? Ii
you have not, you will perhaps be
astonished to find that the total
- about $4,000, and then besides
there are approximately $4,000
other pieces of mail handled by
the clerks every day. This is the
estimate given by Assistant Post
master Stocking.
It requires good deal of skill
TO be postoffice clerk in an Office
handling the volume of mail that
the Tacoma office does. All these
letters must be segregated and
sent to the proper place and by
the proper route. In the state or
Washin gton there are 305 mail
routes. In segregating the mail a
clerk stands surrounded by mail
pouches, each pouch representing
one mail route. Into these he
must throw the letters according
to the direction in which they are
going. 1t takes practice and skill
to do this quickly and without
making mistakes, and postoffice
clerks must be both rapid and ac-
curate.
When Skill Is Tested.
Examinations are held annually
to test the speed of the clerks.
For this purpose, miniature letters
and pouches are used, each pouch
representing one of the 305

Mexico has just decided that

Mexico is developing very fast,

strong, close trade relations with
both the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards of the United States.

routes. A total OF 1,040 cards are
thrown in these tests and some
of the records made by the clerks
are phenomenal.
Local Clerks Fast.
In the last examination the best
record made by the Tacoma clerks
was by A. o. Cultum, who threw
the 1,O40 cards IN rs minutes,
making only Ave errors. Otto
Schenck was second doing It in 28
minutes with only one error. 1t
lis said that the real letters can
be handled much more rapidly
than the small cards used in the
tests. M
Meridith's Good Record. t
Perhaps the fastest man in the
Tacoma postoffice is w. c. Meri-
dith, clerk foreman, who has a
record of throwing 1000 letters
in 80 minutes, or about &c a min
ute.
Another problem that clerks
have to deal with Is the constant
change in the routes. Every week
the clerk must rnemorize the
changes and in fact there are min
or differences in. the routes every
few hours. The object is to get
the letters to their destination in
the quickest way possible. For
this reaso nthe clerks must know
when trains leave for the various
points and thus figure out the
fastest route for a letter.

more popular as the housewives
learn more of its advantages. Ac-

A new fish market was installed
last Saturday and It is one OF the

New York No Longer an Island;
McAdoo Tunnel Dream Comes True

Z NEW YORK, July 26.-The
dream of w. G.. McAdoo has come
true. He Is saving two cities 3, :
zoe. 900 minutes a day.
And New York, because Of Him,
is no longer an island.
The opening OF the McAdoo fun-
nels to Jersey City was one Of the
most significant things to the
world outside of New York that
has occurred recently.
More than half of the visitors to
New York don't reach the city by
train. The trains take, them to the
river, on the Jersey side. Here they
have had to alight and take ferry
boats to Manhattan island, going
from the ferry stations to their
destinations in the city by trolley
cars.
But McAdoo's tunnels have end
ed this arrangement.
At the three greatMlepots on the
Jersey side--the Erie, Lackawarna
and Pennsylvania-are subway
stations. And from these, every
" minutes during the day, trains
of eight cars are whisked, within
the space of three minutes, to the
heart of Manhattan island.
There Is one more tunnel that
McAdoo is completing, which will
connect his tunnel system with the
metropolitan subway.
hte se.n nj
who must pass through New York
will not pass through 1t. They viii
pass under 1t. In fact, they will
not see daylight while they are in
the city.
But there are few travellers who
will thus ignore New York.
The wonder Of the tunnels Is the
time they will save. All of the vast
Jersey shore will be brought with
in the easy reach of New Workers,
who will undoubtedly seek homes
where they can have yards and
breathing room.
At present 100, 900 persons who
pass between New York and Jersey
City daily will each save 32 min
utes a day by using the tunnels.
The vastness of this saving Is
to realize, With no In
crease in faces cents-each one
Of these 100000 commuters saves
three hours week. -
Three million two hundred
thousand minutes saved day!
Fifty-five thousand I'VE hundred
hours!
Over eight thousand working
days added to the time sof the
cities workday!

GOOD WORK is LOVED WORK
And Therein One Should Find the
Contentment That Is Chief
Part of Life.

If man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind Of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work. they would soon
learn to love it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in view-to sur
round the job a man is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make it attractive to him.
1.-THE man who is in love with mis-
job gets more contentment out of life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets great part of his
contentment in doing his work right
No man can love his work who shirks
No man can be contented who is dis.
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing it negligent'y. So these
things always go together-honest
work, contentment and love of the job
