ENORMOUS LOSSES DUE
TO POST OFFICE L00TING
Postmasters to Keep Fewer Stamps
on Hand and to Guard
Against Robbery.

Enormous losses due to post office
robberies were responsible for orders
from the Post Office Department toda y
To postmasters throughout the country
TO keep on hand a smaller number OF
stamps and other valuable papers and
TO guard them more carefully than
heretofore. Losses last year amounted
TO nearly $500. 900.
The order eNcepts postmasters of che
first class. All others however are iu-
structed to requisition in the future a
two-month supply of l and = cent
stamps at time. instead of from three
to twelve months supply, as in the
past. The stamps stolen were mostly
OF these two denominations.

Anglo-French press that she send

The true reason, he declares, is that
Italy needs all her reserves in the Alps,
since she has lost hundreds of thou
sands of men by senseless attacks upon
the brayely defended Austro-Hun-
garian positions. 1t cannot be doubted
he adds, that all her future sacrifices
will be equally useless, and that finally
the day will come when the Austro-
Hungarians themselves will take the
offensive.

SUPREME COURT
REVERSES SELF
CHANGES ITS OWN DECISION AND
SAYS RESIDENT MUST BE
FULL PLEDGED CITIZEN
TO VOTE

Madison, March 23.-The Supreme
Court of the state of Wisconsin today
reversed itself and declared that for
eign born residents cannot vote in Wis
eonsin without being fully qualified
citizens.
In taking this action the court set
aside it's own opinion of two months
ago, when it decided that constitu-
tional amendment restricting suffrage
to full citizens had not been properly
adopted. Today the court held that the
mendment was legally adopted.
The new decision has far-reaching
effect in Wisconsin, and will probably
cause extra work at the polls in the
spring election, as many foreign born
residents who hold first papers have
prepared to vote on that basis. Such
q decision is especially momentous in
this state, which has larger proper
tion of foreign born residents than
most of the other states.

WHO WAS MOST BLIND?

( A Wisconsin man has son who,
while displaying most of the signs OF
at least ordinary Intelligence, had al
wasy done very poorly In his school
work. Outside of school hours he
would barely look at a book, although
he would urge others to read to him by
| the hour.
| The father, man in comfortable
circumstances, feeling his own incom-
petency and being accustomed in his
| business to hire the best assistance he
could employ, withdrew the boy from
the public school and sent him to an
expensive private school. 1t took n
couple of years for the father to real
ize that the boy wasn't doing well
there either. He tried another and
still higher priced school and practical
ly wasted another two years.
One evening in the course of a. friend
ly visit with a close friend in the
medical profession, the father reclted
his sons school experiences. The doctor
listened closely; then began to ply
questions which brought out definitely
what had, hitherto, been only vague,
unrelated observations.
Let me state, parenthetically, that
during these years of unproductlve
schooling. when the boy had apparent
ly failed to fit into any school system,
he had learned a great deal by ABSORB
ton. Unfortunately, however, his
knowledge was most disorderly, ard
his mind was as undisciplined as the
manners of a Figi Islander.
The physician sugg ested possible
error In the boys eyesight as the
cause of his poor scholarship. The
father doubted it. His charity for his
son was about exhausted, and he ex
pressed the opinion that the boy was
just ''pure cussed" and down right
lazy. Nevertheless, an occulist was
consulted. The frstrough examination
showed that the boy had an eye defect
that was enough to account for his
aversion to the written or printed
word. The eye examination, further
more, removed the suspicion the boy
had always been under concerning the
vague headaches he complained of on
school days but which were notice
ably absent on holidays andin vacation
T wish I could write q happy ending
to this tale, but inasmuch as / am re-
porting an actual case, cannot do SO
yet. Too many years had been wasted
and the boy was too old to be humilia-
ted by being sent back to the primary |
grades. In many respects his informa-
ton far exceeded that of most boys |
of his own age. He has left school now
and is doing as well now as does the
average boy with an undisciplined
mind. His greatest hope for the future
lies in the fact that he is beginning to
realize his handicap and is doing some
night and correspondence study to
bridge the gap in his schooling; but
he will have to pay heavy price for
what would have been cheap in his
childhood.
. MORAL: If you have a child who is
not displaying normal curiosity to
see for himself what is inside of books,
have his eyes examined before an ir
reparable injury has been done.
