| | want to euualize the benefits OF the
mail service. / believe that patrons
of the postoffice in town and villages
are as fully entitled to the best facili
| ties which the service can afford as
patrons of the postoffices in the cities
and the rural districts. There is no
function of the government more i'm
portant to the welfare of the people
than that of the postoffice, facilitating
communication and making for free
dom of exchange. This is the first con-
sideration, but there is a second con-
sideration, hardly less important. II
SIC. 100000 of the available revenue be
appropriated for bringing the postal
service closer to some millions of our
people, that amount will not be avail
able for wasteful expenditure on war
ships and Notifications, on big guns
and militaristic exploitation. / have

not an advocate of parsimony, do not
believe In cheeseparing, as far as the
next from wishing to impair any of the
serviceable activities of the govern
ment, except as they may intrench upon
the rights and duties of the states.
am therefore quite consistent in the
proposition to increase the efficiency
of the postal service, especially as l
believe that this increased efficiency
will result ultimately, IL not at once, in
a corresponding increase in the postal
revenue. Certainly the extension of
free delivery to the country districts
has greatly augmented the postal reve
nue. from those districts; and no one
will question that free delivery serv-
ice has enormously stimulated the use
of the mails by the residents of our
cities. That the same facilities ex-

THE ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG

can policy, whether we are for peace
or war, this is the time to remind us
! that we are Americans, and that in the
face of international perils or respon-
sibilities all Americans are one"
There is a question among many,
no doubt, as to just when and how
the flag should be displayed. The fixed
occasions are as follows: 1t should
be displayed at full staff on Lincoln S
birthday, Feb. u; Washingtons birth
day, Feb. %; battle of Lexington an
niversary, April 10; Memorial day,
May 30; Flag day, June IA; battle of
Bunker hill anniversary, June II; In
! dependence day, July 4; battle of Sara
! toga. anniversary, Oct. II; surrender of
Yorktown anniversary, Oct. 10; evac-
uation day, Nov. %. On Memorial day
the flag should fly at half staff from
sunrise to noon and at full staff from
noon to sunset.
The military ceremony observed to
show proper respect for the American
flag requires that the flag shall not
be hoiSted before sunrise, nor be al
lowed to remain up after sunset. At
retreat" at sunset, civilian spectators
should stand at attention" and un-
cover during the playing of "The Star
Spangled Banner" Military specta-
tors are required by regulation to
stand at attention" and give the mill
tary salute. During the playing of
the national hymn at retreat" the flag
should be lowered, but not then al
lowed to touch the ground. When the
national colors is passing in parade or
in review the spectators should, if
walking, halt, and, If sitting, arise and
stand at attention" and uncover.
When the flag is flown at half staff
as a sign of mourning it should be
hoisted to full staff at the conclusion
of the funeral. In placing the flag at
half staff. it should first be hoisted to
the top of the staff and then lowered
to position.
The national salute is one gun for
every state. The International salute |

OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE
COMPENSATION.

The Kern-McGillicuddy bill to pro-
vide compensation for employees of the
/ United States suffering accidents or
occupationaI diseases in the course of
/ their employment was favorably re-
| ported by the house judiciary commit
tee April 81. The bill Is being urged
/ by the American Association for Labor
! Legislation, and is endorsed by num-
erous medical labor and civic bodies.
The federal government now employs
more than one-third of million men
and women, many of them in hazard
Gus undertakings. such as river and
harbor work. navy yards and arsenals,
the reclamation and forestry services,
and in the canal zone. Official reports
show that many of these employees are
not properly protected against acct
dents and occupational diseases, and
that the injured are compensated in
adequately or not at all. One case of
acute lead-poisoning causing a loss of
81 days by navy yard employe was
refused compensation under the ex-
listing law because the inhalation of
lead dust in his case was "a necessary
incident" of his occupation, and there
fore there was nothing accidental in
the injury resulting therefrom." a
girl employed TO fold heavy paper in
the government printing Office con-
tracted from continuous strain on her
fingers and wrist cystic growth which
she was obliged to nave surgically re-
moved. but compensation was refused
her on the ground that her incapacity
was not due to injury" but to Eek
cessive use" Many similar cases. in
Guiding compressed air illness, could
be cited.
In the matter of accidents. "frac-
lures OF an arm or leg" reports the
bureau of labor. "have led to pay
ments in amounts less than s25, the
loss of an eye in amounts varying
between SIS and $50. and in the case
of the loss OF right arm the injured
workman was entitled to a payment
of less than $50"
The Kern-McGillicuddy bill was
drawn by workmen's compensation ex-
perts after careful study. Its enact !
ment would establish for United States |
employees scientific standards of in |
demnity in accord with those of the |
more progressive American states and |
European countries.
