VIZ 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 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-

they appear TO take kindly to an op,

too. many OF them succumb to its rig
ors. But Southern California, where
Il is always warm and sunny, being
conveniently at hand, the Utah honey
men have hit upon the scheme Of
shipping their bees there at the ap-
proach OF winter, thus keeping them
busy all the year around. From one
county alone six carloads of bee colo
nies have just been shipped back to
Utah after their winter soiourn. The
Journey is made at an expense of less
than $3.50 a carload. and the thrifty
Utah apiarists find that It pays to-
let the bees take t. Did their apti-
ude for organization enable them to
form a trade union the bees might
some day so on strike against this in

The growing custom Of taking sed'
atives and sleeping powders on ship
board cannot be too strongly con-
demned. Cocaine, morphine and
similar depressants are contained In
most of these eliXirs, and, while eff
fective enough when administered by
a regular physician, such things are
extremely risky when employed in an
unscientlfic, haphazard manner. While
morphine may make a person sleep,
its other effects are often dissipation,
and in many persons It eXcites vomit-

quence, the prudent voyager will

So. too, are cocaine, chloral and

open to largely the same objection,
albeit 1t is the theory OF those who
recommend them that they deaden the
abnormal sensitiveness OF the stom-
ach lining and thus stop the vomiting.
This may be all very true, but also it
is true that their effects are not lin
tied to the stomach, while. further
than this, with healthy persons the
vomiting Of seasicknoss is by no
means alarming. Indeed, severe
fetching without vomiting, is often
more painful and harmful than the
vomiting, and fully as disagreeable.

A list of all remedies for seasick-
ness would fill a large book, and
would include all the bromides, ano-
dynes, narcotics, opiates and anesthet-
les, to say nothing of a thousand and
one other fearsome things. Besides
there is a long list of mechanical de-
vices for the prevention or cure of sea-
sickness. Some persons use tight
belts and others are addicted to ice
bags on their backs, while another
relies upon massage. Yet none of
these measures has a sound theory
to back It, and none has been found
generally efficacious.
Some persons are always seasick,
no matter how many voyages they
make others have never been seasick
and never will be, no matter how
stormy the weather May you be one
of the latter number.

Rural Free Delivery Is Growing Fast

time of opening and reading missives
not properly directed is a part of the
work Of the mailing section. It in
cludes a private postofIice 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 a 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 u
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 postoffice 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 postofice newspaper.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
delivery is best shown by the last an
nual report. During the year it states
that out of the 41,OO0 in the service
the total dismissals for cause were
only 1865, less than the total number
of deaths
The reasons for the dismissals were
principally incompetence and failure
to obey instructions. No dismissals
whatever for stealing from the mails
or other dishonesty were on the rec
