THEY ARE TOO MODEST.

The Star Mirror has been asked to
mention the splendid work that Captain
Felker is doing in caring for the mem
bers of the S. A. T. c. and in looking
after their comfort Captain Felker
modestly says the credit does not belong
to him, but to the civilian doctors of
Moscow who have worked day and night
and given of their time, ability and en-
ergy free of charge for these boys.
! President Lindley has requested that
special mention be made of the work the
Red Gross is doing and the splendid
work of the people of Moscow in gen
eral. But President Lindley, who is
working his head off," to use an inele-
giant expression, and going almost lay
and night, modestly refrains from ever
mentioning himself or his work, yet he
is probably doing more and carrying a
heavier burden of responsibility than any
individual This modesty in these great
workers is very nice, but they are all
entitled to credit and their work will
be remembered by the young men and
their relatives and friends when the in
fluenza epidemic becomes dim memory.

Need Parcel Post Facilities

One of the most urgent necessities
In behalf of the American export
trade with Paraguay is the establish
ment Of a large parcel post system
with this country, writes Consul Henry
Fl. Balch, AsunciOn. As there are very
few large distributing houses in Par
aguay practically all the important
mercantile establishments import their
goods direct from the foreign mar
ketS, and as many of the orders are
small or for goods that do not occupy
much space the parcel post is extern
sively used by the average Paraguay
an importer.
A good percentage Of :ne large trade
that Germany, EcNand, and France
had with this country at the beginning
of the war was developed through the
parcel post system that those coun-
tries maintain with Paraguay. Mer-
chants frequently state that they
would turn much of their trade to the
United States which has hitherto gone
to Europe If there We're parcel post
convenience. In fact. parcel post or
ders from the United States are rath-
er frequently received by Asuncion
merchants through third parties To-
Gated in BuenOs Aires.

A Telling Touch.

made on luncheon set of dolly cloth
edged with narrow cluny lace, says a
contributor TO an exchange. The set
was embroidered in easy stitches with
bright colored cOttons. instead of a
buttonholed or plain crocheted edge,
the cluny, about an inch wide, had
been added Now this in itself would
have been pretty but an additional
edge of black crochet worked out in
the simplest of picot stitches from
point to point Of the lace gave it ex-
actly twice the character and took up
but little extra time. This is a good
thing to remember in making any kind
of dainty needlework. on underclothes
dainty colored edging could be added
to lace OF the heavier qualities.

Theft IS CHECKED
Insurance Embargoes on South
American Shipments.
PiIfering Formerly Was Credited to
the Canal Zone but Has Been Re-
duced to Minimum.

Pilfering is still great problem in
the case of merchandise shipped to
ports on the west coast of South Amer
lea. At several ports the extent of the
evil has been greatly lessened as a re-
suit of insurance embargOes on goods
destined for those ports or in response
to constant complaint on the part of
the consignees, according to Commerce
Reports. In Mollendo differing, so far
as Bolivian goods are concerned. has
been reduced to small proportions in
consequence of an agreement between
the Peruvian and Bolivian govern
ments which provides for the prOmpter
dispatch of merchandise for Bolivian
destination. Nevertheless, the prob
lem of pilfening remains a serious one
at practically every port on the west
coast.
Formerly 1t was the fashion to say
that much of the pilfering took place
in the Panama Canal Zone. and there
was probably some basis for the state
ment in the days when traffic through
the canal was stopped by the slides in
Gaillard cut and freight was badly
cOngested at Colon and Balboa. 1t is
probably true, however, that even in
those times much of the loss attributed
to pilfering was due to unusual hand
ling or exposure Since traffic through
the canal slaS been resumed on a nor
nal basis the loss from pilfering in
the Canal Zone has been reduced to an
almost negligible point.
Goods trans-shipped to Colon and
Balboa are stored in pier sheds imme-
diately upon discharge. The sheds are
large, well built, firepro0f, and can he
easily guarded and protected. Both in
the discharge from ship to pier and in
the reloading from pier to ship the
Panama Railroad company exercises
strict supervision over all operations.
since it has charge OF all port facil-
ties and does most of the stevedoring.
To protect itself against claims for loss
the railroad company long since insti-
tuted an elaborate checking system.
Checkers not only take account of the
number and weight Of cases and pack
ages loaded or unloaded on the piers
but also note the condition of the con-
tainers as they pass over the piers and
put aside for careful inspection cases
that appear to be underweight or to
have been tempered with. In many In
stances pilfering can be detected by
difference In the recorded weight and
the weight on arrival in Panama,
though piiferers are clever enough, as
rule, TO substitute articles of the
same weight for those they have abb
stracted.
Moreover, a number of watchmen
and detectives are employed by the
Panama Railroad company. Some of
the detectives work as dock laborerS.
The watchmen cannot be in all parts
of the pier sheds, and in far corner
of shed or hold the stevedoreS may
handle case with such roughness as
to cause it to break open, enabling its
contents to be easily carried off. De-
tectives can exert an effective restrain
ing influence in such cases.
1t is clear. then, that the precautions
against pilfering in the Panama Canal
Zone are extensive and effective and
that the source OF the pilfering must be
sought for elsewhere.
