HOW TO WEAR A vEIL,

For those who are partial to the
wearing of sailor hats here is a win
kie, concerning how TO adjust the veil
on such a shape.
First fasten the top edge Of the veil

stands up hrrnly in fold. then gather
up the loose ends and knot them at
the back. The veil (of double Width
thus arranged softens the outline Of
the whole hat, FITS over the face per-
fectly and defies the stormiest wind.
The perfect fitting of veil is no small
triumph. Last summer the French
women formed the top edges of their
wells into definite folds, which they
placed TO stand around the brims of
the hats. With fresh crisp yelling the
effect is extremely good and most be-

eating Before Golng to Bed

MANY persons who remain thin and
weakly in spite Of all precautions in

hahitual abstemiousness at night.
Physiology teaches us that in sleeping.
as in waking, there is a perpetual waste
going on in the tissues OF the body, and
It seems but logical that nourishment
should be continuous as well. The di-
gestion of the evening meal is usually
finished before bedtime. yet the activ-

result of this activity is sleeplessness

r. HE rural free delivery service of
the United States means the dis
tribution of nearly 100000 letters and
parcels annually along the highways
and byways of every state and terri
tory from Maine to Alaska. A force
of 41,000 carriers daily go over the
routes assigned to them. says a writer
in the Bookkeeper.
Bringing the mail to the farmer now
costs the nation $36,000,000 a year in
salaries for the carriers, expense of
examining new routes, maintaining
postofflces, payments of inspectors,
special agents, clerks and chiefs of
bureaus.
To secure information to make
changes in routes and carriers, where
deemed necessary, to establish new
routes and to record and tabulate
statistics and data for the postmaster

force of only ITO persons is required

amount of Office work and correspond

dressed to the department. To save

WY ASHINGTON had a safe and
w sane" celebration of the national
birthday. In years gone by the ma
tional capital has been noted for the
noisiest Fourth of July celebration of
any city in the union. Last year they
adopted the safe and sane" idea.
Day fireworks and a parade in the
morning with speechmaking on the
plaza fronting the city buildings. In
the afternoon a motor parade and, at
night, an illumination of the Monu-
ment grounds and more fireworks.
The safe and sane" idea took well
at first and Washington determined to
stick by the modern form of celebra-
tion this year. Therefore the celebra-
tion last Monday began with the read
ing of the Declaration of Independence
in front of the city buildings. Ten
o'clock was the hour set, but, as luck
would have it, the same hour the Bos-
ton Red Sox and the Nationals
crossed bats. The Washington Post
and the Washington Times have Of
fees opposite the city building. A
crowd of about 1000 people had gath
cred for the ceremonies. At the news
paper offices the megaphone men had
been connected by wire with the base
ball park.

TRY TO WRECK STATION
New York Police ThWart Plot
of Some Italians.

At New York the police are searching
for a band of Italians who are credited
with having made an attempt to blow
up the Mercer street police station Four
heavy cartridges or bombs contain
ing enough powder to blow up the
building and kill the sixty men who
were within at the time, were discov.
cred before they could do any damage,
one on the step in front of the door
and the others in an adjacent hallway.
Three men are under arrest but de-
ny knowledge of the affair.
The attempt at wholesale revenge
on the police for recent activities
against Black Hand bands was frus-
trated by the prompt action of Patrol
man John Baumbach. He was enter
ing the station from his post when he
discovered a metallic contrivance lying
on the front stoop, with a twelve inch
fuse sticking out of the top of it.

ENGLISH JUDGES CLAIM
0VERW0RK ON THE BENC..l
Like Their American Brethren, Health
Remains Good.

Like American judges, English
judges complain that they are over
worked. AS n result Parliament is
authorizing the appointment Of two
new judges to the high court bench
at salary of $4,000 a year, with
$17.50O a year as pension after retire
ment.
The high court is composed Of two
divisions. Kings bench and chancery.
The judges Of the Kings bench are
behind in their wCrk and lawyers and
clients are complaining Of the delay in
the adjudication Of their cases. The
chancery judges keep their calendar
clear and there is no delay in their
courts.
Four Of the six judges on the chan
Gerry bench are under sixty. but over
fifty. Justice Joyce Is still active at
seventy. Sixteen judges occupy the
courts Of Kings bench. including Lord
Chief Justice Alverst0ne. The ap-
pointment Of the two new judges will
give the Kings bench eighteen judges,
and will. it Is hoped. obviate further
complaints of delay.
The judges on the Kings bench are
on the average older than the chan
Gerry judges. Justice Lawrence at
seventy is not contemplating retire
ment.
About 10000 cases are filed annually
in the Kings bench. Not all of them
of course come up for hearing. OF
there 10000 about 1900 are set down
for trial. and Of these about 2,OC0 actu-
ally are tried. TwO-thirds of these
cases are tried In London. the other
third on circuit. Ii is estimated that
each judge tries annually 100 cases.
Twenty years ago the average was 151
cases.
While the judges complain of over
work ii is a fact that they work only
thirty-six weeks Of the fifty-twO. The
judges sit only five hours day for
FIVE days week. OF course. their
wCrk is not wholly represented by
those figures because all of them have
more or less work to do in their cham
bers or their homes. The judges seem
to be an unusually healthy lot Of men;
their absences due to illness average
only four days year.

Rural Free Delivery Is Growing Fast

work of the mailing section 1t in
cludes a private postofice through
which every letter received or sent
relative to rural delivery must pass.
Every one of the half-million and
more letters sent from this depart.
ment is copied for record by a me-
chanical system which saves the labor
of hundred copying clerks even
where the hand copying press or the
carbon method has been employed. A
force of only seventeen clerks is need
ed in this section, yet in addition to
handling and copying mail they keep
a daily record of all the outlay for
postage expenses of the department
and sort and examine the hundreds of
letters daily received which must be
returned to the postoff1ce where they
should have been directed.
What the service does in receiving
applications for new routes, petitions
for carriers, decisions of the depart
ment, the payments and receipts, is
told by the postoffice newspaper. Pub
lished every day by the accounting
section, 1t is a record of what every
one in this postal counting house, in
cluding himself, is doing.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
delivery is best shown by the last an

that out of the 41,00O in the service
