INTERSECTIONS

Daily, hourly perhaps. we meet at
intersections in our lives. We sour
ry and hustle along, bent on this er-
rand or that, when we are interrupted
or halted for a time by some person,
thing or circumstance which we at
first wish to ignore. The person. con-
dition of circumstances, street incl
dent or what not may have its uplift-
ing and stimulating lesson for us,
however, and we may owe it passing
consideration.
The proposition is this, that all
things and persons should be more or
less significant to US, and We cannot
afford to become so centered on our
own petty work as to disregard the
myriads of worth while things sur
rounding us. A lecture by some emf
nent man on a topic most divergent
from that in which you are particular
ly interested may prove a stimulus
far greater than shop" talk, trade
discussion or a technical address on
your individual profession.
The fruits of self-centeredness and
over-concentration are prOvincialism
and narrowness of mind. The old
phrase, Know everything about
something and something about ev-
erything," never applied to nation
more than it does to the American
people today. More enlightenment
on the numerous problems confront
ing the world at this critical time
would undoubtedly have an elevating.
pacific influence upon the nation. We
cannot afford to disregard the inter-
sections that occur daily in our lives!

reminded us, is just beginning in

When you think that the President
is paid about one-tenth as much sal
ary as Charlie Chaplin, it would seem
that Woodrow would be justified in
asking an S-hour day, a slight in

R. A. Clampitt, Until Novem-
 Der 1, Assistant Postmaster, Held, Is Charged With Elm bezzling Over Five Thou
 sand Dollars.

R. A. Clampitt, assistant postmaster of Blsbee for nearly IS months and until November l, is under arrest, charged with the embezzlement of an amount over s5,OOO. Clampitt was taken to Tucson last evening by De- putty United States Marshal James Mcdonald. No arrangements have been made for bail for the prisoner.
 It became known last Saturday night that a shortage existed in Clampitt's accounts with the local postoffioe. In- formation was filed against him and a warrant sworn to. It was not until Sunday afternoon, however, that he was brought into Bisbee by Night Sergeant J. A. Kempton of Bisbee.
 On the night of October 31 Clampitt checked out his accounts to his sue cessor. On the same night he left for Tucson in an automobile. Accord ing to Clampitt's statement he started for Tucson to put the matter of the shortage before the proper authorities He returned to Bisbee the following day and on Saturday sent to Bisbee asking that one of the investigators come to some claims west of the city. The investigator went to the mlEing property, accompanied by Deputy Me Donald. Clampitt. they were told, was not at the camp. Sunday, however, Kempton went to the camp and ac companied Clampitt back to Bisbee.
 Considerable wonderment is express ed over the shortage in the accounts of Clampitt. It is supposed. that the largest part, if not all, of the defal- cation took place during the last few days of Clampitt's tenure of office. What he could have done with the money is puzzling the officers. Clam pitt is silent on this subject.
 Last night, before Clampitt was talk en to Tucson, he refused to Ilaka any definite statement regarding his ar rest and the charges connected with ;he case.
 He declares, however, tha. he wonld deny the accusation before the pro- per authorities. He acknowledged knowing about the shortage and also isad he knew the exact amount there of He would not say how much it was He declares he is without money.

Progress

"The negotiations between the presidents labor commission and the operators are progressing most satisfac orily." was the character ization made by Felix Frankfurter of progress made by the abor commission. headed by Secretary of Labor w. E. Wilson, which is wis itiHg the Warren district.
 "You con say for the commission that every thing is fine and that the commission leaves for San Fran cisco Wednesday morning." he con tinued. The operators would make no statement.
 Judging from the foregoing. it would be reasonable to conclude that an agreement has been reached by the various interested parties and that it will. undoubted- ly, be signed by both today.
