WASHINGTON IS SECOND
IN POSTAL INCREASES
Local Post Office Outranked by Day.
ton Only in Gain in Receipts
in November.

With a total of s166.94S.s1, or an in
crease Of 26.ss per cent over November,
1914, the receipts Of the Washington
post Office during the month just closed
help to bear out the statement of the
Postmaster General. just issued. that
marked improvement in business Is
shown by the November revenues OF
the largest fifty post offices in the
country. which. it is explained, produce
half Of all the postal receipts.
The normal rate of increase is said to
be about per cent, but November OF
last year showed instead a decrease of
5.71 per cent, which was attributed to
the business depression that began i'm
medistely after the outbreak of the
European war. which, 1t is explained.
was felt most seriously in November.
1914.
The tota. receipts of the largest fifty
cities this year amounted to $1s.349.45o,
which is an increase of $2,033,13S, or
1895 per cent over those Of November.
1914. New York, which had a decrease
in November, 1914, leads the east this
November with total receipts amount
ing to $2,s36.761, an increase Of $685.
691, or 22.74 per cent.
Chicago is second with total receipts
amounting to s2,407.61S. an increase Of
$443,s12, or $3.50 per cent. In Novem-
Der, 1914. Chicago had a decrease Of
1924 per cent.
In the matter of percentage of in
crease. Washington is headed in the
list of the fifty cities by but one office.
Dayton, Ohio, which had an increase of
$18.055.96. or 1925 per cent, although
the increase in the matter of dollars
was larger than that Of Washington at
eleven other Offices. There is discrep-
ancy between the Postmaster Generals
statement and that of the Washington
post Office. due to receipt by the latter
of 1884 from the sale of waste paper,
which Is not included in the department
statement. Allowance is made in the
department statement for the fact that
there was one more working day in
November, 1918, than in November, 1914

Midsummer Mentality.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Midsummer has been called the silly
season. There is a reason. The heat
and the humidity seem to enervate and
weaken both the physical being and
the moral stamina. and a general let
ting down of ideals and Intelligence
results.
In the silly season the gold brick
buyer fraternizes with the f1eecer. In
the silly season the yokel feels the
lure of the green goods circular. In
the silly season the matrimonial bu-
reau reaps it's golden harvest.
Only the other day a pleasant stran-
ger sold the biggest hotel in Chicago
to an Indiana man for 5000. Only the
other day Pennsylvania innocent gave
a tramp ten crisp tens" for a ring
which two gentlemanly passersby as
sured him was worth $1,000.
Examples could be multiplied. They

ton as in kankakee. Nobody who has
reached the age of discretion-the ex-
preston is used with due forethought
lis entirely exempt.
Where lies the safeguard? In eternal
vigilance. and in close observation of
the daily chronicle OF the tricks and
traps which the wicked prepare for the
stumbling victim.
When the tempter approaches re-
verse the famous formula-don't stop,
don't look. don't listen.

There Is a feud on between Major j.

ration Commission, that would GER

were the days of the code duello, and

Alexander Forward proves himself a
mighty good peacemaker. 1t came
about in this wise: Friday Captain
Wilson found a very pretty jeweled
gold watch in the corridor Of the Cap
itol, and was naturally a mighty
proud man over his find. There was
not the remotest clue to the owner OF
the handsome trinket. but--and that

the abbreviated arpendage OF the An
goria goat, either. Major Jake Bren-
aman heard all about it and In the
course OF conversation with Captain
Wilson produced an ancient pocket
book. which he stated he had picked
up over two years ago. 1t contained
no wealth. but there were some
papers of possible value to the owner.
ard. strange to relate. there was not
a line or a word to indicate the
identity of the owner. Captain Will
son examined the find with consider

the papers contained in the old book
he discovered the name OF the
owner of the book.
