The Government Talks
Postal Savings Banks

Every person in the United
States ten years old or over may
open an account in a postal saw
ings bank after July 1st, according
to an instructive leaflet on the
Postal Savings system just issued
by Postmaster General Burleson.
This important extension Of the
service will be made possible by
permitting persons living in COM
munities so sparsely settled as not
to Justify the designation of their
local post offices as regular saw
ings banks to open accounts by
mail
Governor Dockery, Third Assist
ant Postmaster General, who has
direct supervision of postal saw
ings, was so impressed by appeals
from all over the country to open
postal savings accounts by mail
that he took up the task some
weeks ago of working out a feas-
ible and safe method of meeting a
demand we'll illustrated in a letter
from Saline County Missourian,
who resides many miles from a
postal savings bank.
Having a few hundred dollars
saved from fifty years of hard and
assiduous labor and skimping
economy on the part of my wife
and myself, we concluded to de-
posit it in the Postal Savings
Bank of -. We wrote to the
postmaster at that place and re-
ceived reply to the effect that none
but patrons of that office could
deposit in that office which is very
disappointing news to us. Our
little farm is not large enough to
support us and land is so high
that it is impossible for us to buy
more with what little we have
saved and we are so old that we
can't labor much now and we
would be so glad to lay by at least
enough TO put us away IN decen-
cy."
Under the plan adopted by the
Postmaster General for opening
accounts by mail an intending de-
positor. residing where there is no
regularly designated postal saw
ings bank, will apply to his local
postmaster who will see that nee
essary Identification data is pre-
pared and forwarded to a nearby

Delaware Men Talk Of
{, Exercises At Hopkins

On Tuesday morning, May 25,
Assistant Professor Dutton, Of the
English department, spoke at
chapel on the recent exercises at
Johns Hopkins in connection with
the installation of DR.. F. j. Good
now as president and the formal
opening of the buildings at Home
wood. With DR.. Harter and Pro-
lessor Conover, Mr.. Dutton repre-
sented Delaware College. After
sketching briefly the history of
the Johns Hopkins University, he
spoke Of the many famous men
who represented our leading col
leges and universities. These in
cluded President Lowell of Har-
ward; President Hibben of Prince
ton; President Hadley of Yale; !;
etc. In closing his talk Mr.. Dut-
ton said: "In regard to the pre-
sent day controversy concerning
so-called ''vocational education"
that is, practical training to the
exclusion Of theoretical and cult
ural training) the following words
spoken by General Goethals, the
builder Of the Panama Canal, in
his address opening the engineer
ing building of the University de-
mand our consideration as the YER
dict of the man best qualified to
speak with authority on the sub
ject:
Such an education Il. e. that of
the engineer)," said General Goe-
thals, should include, therefore
not only the technical but the cul-
tural subject, so as to round out
the man in all directions, and by
enlarging his perception and vi
sion to cultivate ideals and imag.
inatiOn so essential to the engi,
neer for success; in fact, imagin'
alton is as much requisite fol
the engineer as for the artist, fOl
he should be able to picture tc
himself the completed structure
before work on it is begun and tC
forsee many of the difficulties that
will arise, in time to meet them.
In recent years the require
ments for admission to the law
and medical schools have increas
ed. so that now the leading
schools for these professions re
quire the applicant to be posses
sed Of an academic degree or its
equivalent. The engineers edu
cation should be just as broad.
The engineering school should
prescribe the same qualifications
for entrance.
After all it is not the amount
Of technical information gained
that is of Importance. What is
needed is so to train the minC
that team grapple, with reason
able hope of successful issue, the
various problems that will arise
in after life, and this is accom-
plished best by a thorough
grounding in and mastery of the
theory of the fundamentals. The
practical work can come later ir
life and in so far as the school is
concerned should be SubordinateC
to theory and mental training"

post office authorized to accept
deposits. The intending depositor
will then be given permission to
forward his first and subsequent
deposits by money order or regis
tered mail direct to the postmaster
at the banking point for which re-
ceipts or certificates will be issued
He may withdraw all or any part
of his postal savings by mail and
on demand together with any in
terest that may be due him.
The new leaf1et points out that
any person ten years old or over
may open an account in his or her
own name; that an account may be
opened by a married woman free
from any control or interference
by her husband; that post office
officials are forbidden to disclose
to any person except the depositor,
the amount of any deposits; that
Withdrawals may be made with
out previous notice; and that the
Government guarantees to repay
| all deposits on demand with ac-
crued interest.
The leaflet will soon be printed
in % foreign languages for distri-
button through local post Offices.
The foreign-born citizen has taken
very kindly to postal savings, and
literature in his own language
will be of great assistance to him.
In recent article, Postmaster
General Burleson commented on
the foreign-born depositor as fol-
lows:
Upwards of 100000 depositors
now have accounts in the Postal
Savings System and they repre-
sent every nationality on the
earth. They also represent almost
every known occupation-profes-
sional men, theatrical people, me-
chanics, 'laborers, fishermen, pack
peddlers, etc. But the majority
al wage cetl llCl ., anu VI tlllS Sldno
the foreign-born largely predomin-
ate. A census of depositors taken
by the Post Office Department
shows that approximately 40 per
cent (2O0,O00) of the depositors
are foreign-born citizens and they
own more than so per cent of the
deposits-splendid evidence of the
confidence of our newly acquired
citizens in the ability and good
faith of their adopted country to
fulfill it's obligations.
There is another reason which
led immigrants, unfamiliar with
our language and business meth
DDS to turn to the Government to
safeguard their humble savings
and that reason is the disastrous
experiences many of them have
had by the failures of bogus "pri-
vate banks" officered by swindlers
of their own tongue who have
preyed mercilessly upon their lon
illness and credulity."
Postal savings receipts have
broken all records the past year.
During the eight months prior to
April lst there was a net gain in
deposits of $19,0OO,OOO, as against
gain of $8,OOO,OOO for the same
months the year before. Thous-
andS of new accounts have been
opened and the millions made up
largely of hidden savings have
been turned back into the chan
nels of trade just at a time when
there was pressing demand for

TO SPARE FEELING OF
RELATIVES OF FALLEN

Berlin. December 27-(Corresrondenee
OF the Associated Press. 1.-The German
postoffice is to spare the feeling, so far
as possible. of the families OF soldiers
who have fallen in battle. when mail
matter, nondeliverablo for that reason. is
returned to the sender Hitherto it was
the custom to stamp on the letter or
package merely the word fallen or
dead and send II back nome to shock
the relatives with this harsh brevity. Now
the military authorities have been d.
rected to use the words fallen for the
Fatherland, or Fallen ON the field OF
honor"
In still another way the authorities are
trying to soften the blow of death notices
from the front. Hitherto this was at
tempted only In country districts. where
the returned mail of the fallen soldiers
was handed over to the local authorities
or the clergyman, who then undertook to
break the fatal news gently to the family.
Something like this IL now to be done also
In the towns and cities. The local authors
ties will now be asked to select some per-
son suitable for bearing the message of
death.

HOW TO KEEP SAFE
UNDER SHELL FIRE

London, December Correspondence
of the Associated Press -"fIow to keep
safe under shell FIRE." Is the title of a
statement given TO the press by a promi-
nent army officer for the benefit of coast
towns
THE first fact 10 bear in mind,'' he
says is that no buildings in this coun-
try, however substantial offer any pre-
lection against bombardment by war
ships. The biggest guns brought into
action by the Germans at Scarborough
and Hartepool were of 12-inch calibre.
These fire projectiIe weighing about
800 pounds. one of which would be suffi-
eient to Law tho great cathedral OF St.
Paul in ruins.
THE other guns used were 1i-inch. So

shells Weighing zoo 200 and 100 pounds.
The lightest of these projectiles would
go through the walls of any building
is II they were brown paper. and its
bursting charge of high explosive would
detonate inside with annihiiating effect
'rhe inside of house, then, is tho
very worst place to be during bonn
hardment for IL shell strikes the build
ing and the inmates have the luck to
escape direct injury from the explosion
or the flying splinters they are almost
certain to be buried in falling debris or
imprisoned and at the mercy OF the fro
which usually breaks out.
The next most unsatisfactory place IL
tho street. Shells bursting on the hard
paVements are most destructive; to their
own spinters of steel are added flying
fragments OF stone. each deadly missile.
Tho person In the street Is also in immi-
nent danger from the falling walls OF
houses and from bricks and tiles that go
hurting about.
Where, then, is safety to be found?
The only place to be recommended Is a
cellar. and that must be deep and strongly
Vauitcd. II such a place is available its
rse is recommended. Go into IL the mo-
ment bombardment begins and stay until
you are quite sure all danger is past. IL
the building above is supplied with gas.
turn It off at the meter II possible. take
candles, food and water with YOU into
your subterranean quarters, for the time
of your stay is uncertain and your exit
may be blocked by debris.
Apart from such a cellar. the best place
to be when shells are falling is the open
country, well away from hard roads and
trees and buildings. nice soft ditch.
out of sight OF the enemy. on the reverse
slope of rising ground, Is tho position that
/ should choose.
whatever Is done. let 1t be done with
out panic. Panic adds immensely TO the
sum of the danger; 1t means blind rushes
In which the weaker ones always suffer.
1t means also the overlooking of avenues
of safety and neglect of many precau-
tons.
curiosity is one of the strongest Inn
pulses In human nature, often 1t Is
stronger than the fear of death, and so
has fatal results. We had examples N
this al Hartepool and Scarborough. when
the German shells began to fall people
crowded out into the streets curious to see
what was going on. And many such were
among the killed and wounded"

DR.. Wolcott explains the phenomenon by
saying that the duck was fat and the

simply made soap of that portion Of the

STOPS soUEAKING OF SPRINGS

Every once in a while requests are
received from motorists for suggestions
as to how %squeaking auto springs can
be remedied.
These motorists have been using
plain oils and greases between the
spring leaves, but find that these lubri-
cants squeeze out under weight and
are also affected by climatic conditions.
1t will be of interest to those ex-
periencing spring friction to know that
eNperimenters have discovered tina
DiXon's flake graphite introduced be-
tween the leaves of the springs kills
the squeak and seems to last Indefinite
~.
The reason for the success of flake
graphite for this purpose is that it
clings to the surface of the leaves and
puts a veneer of graphite all over
them. This prevents metal-to-metal
contact.
Here's the way to apply this lubri-
can't: Jack up the car so tina all
weight is off the springs and spread the
leaves apart with a screw driver. Now
dust h leaves as thoroughly as pos
sible with flake graphite, using a feath-
er. You'll find when you come to drive
your car, even yer the toughest roads,
hat spring ~squeaking is all gone.
Be sure to get ure flake graphite.
We understand that the only graphite
suitable for this purpose is selected
flake graphite ore mined by the Jo-
seph Dixon Crucible Company, and is
known as Dixon's Motor Graphite.

and the unfolding of plans for the new
year.
A feature of the convention was the
talk of Chief Engineer Hinkley on the
new valve-in-head motor with over.
head camshaft.
The recent races at INDIANAPOLIS"
declared Mr.. Hinkley, proved con-
c~lusively the efficacy of the ney type
of motor. De Palma's car was so eauip-
ped and in fact so were eight out of
the ten cars that came in on the prize
money.
while the old style overhead valve
motor was highly efficient, it did not
cash in on all its possibilities. The
abolition of the long unwieldly side
rods has solved the noisy problem,
leaving the motor absolutely quiet.
European development was headed
in this direction when the great Euro
pean war stopped further automobile
manufacture. Recognizing the demand
for this type of car that will ensue on
the continent after the war clouds
have cleared away E. e. Leverett, of
London, came to Detroit for the sole
purpose of securing the exclusive
agency for the Chalmers a in the
British Isles. We have had fifteen APP
plications from Russia alone
MIR. Hinkley concluded his remarks
with the statement hat over rs per
cent. of the American makers would
adopt this design within the next two
years.
