One Great King
The world has had enough of

The world has had enough OF
kings; it's sent some, as a
starter, to where dead cats and
Junk and things are taken by
the carter. The world has had
enough of thrones, it's weary
and complaining; all Europe's
strewn with dead mems bones
because some chumps were
reigning. But there is one who
stands alone, whom all the ma
tons honor; King Albert's well
come to throne, though mon
archy's a goner. He didn't loaf
in marble halls, as loafed some
princely blighters, but donned
his workday overalls and fought
with common fighters. He
didn't shun the danger zone as
being Gods anointed, or bask at
ease upon a throne with all the
world disjointed. "A king is
but a poor excuse" he said, his
banner flying, eff he won't scrap
to beat the deuce when his own
folks are dying" He hung his
crown upon a nail, put mothballs
in his ermine, and like a farmer
with a fail he thrashed the
bloody German. A thousand
kings have stalked in pride
since thrones we're first invent
ed; a thousand kings have
reigned and died, their scepters
owned or rented; a score have
won undying fame, by mems
applause rewarded ; in all the list
no nobler name than Albert's is
recorded. WALT MASON.

Savings Funds Diverted.

Il il estimated that nearly $500, 900 in
ments by the banks of the city to de-
positors in Christmas savings funds has
been mailed out within the last few
days, and a number of the carriers re-
port that a portion of this money has
come to them for the purchase of war
savings stamps. and that they have ac-
cordingly materially fattened their rec
ords.
The same men express regret that the
contest ends Saturday. for if it extended
over to include Monday, when the semi
annual interest coupons on one of the
liberty bond issues become payable,
they could easily induce many of the
holders to reloan this interest to the
government by purchasing war savings
and thrift stamps.

Washington's letter carriers are reach
ing the homestretch in the ten-day war
savings stamp selling contest. which
ends Saturday night.
The race is getting warm and spirited.
and the patriotic postmen are hustling
their sales along. Each man is eager
to capture one of the thirty-four cash
prizes. totaling $1,000. donated by Ber-
berich's Sons. and although the race is
nearly over there are few among the
contestants who are not cherishing the
hope that they will either be leading or
near the top when the tape is crossed.
Wednesdays Sales.
Yesterdays sales amounted to sS,612,
bringing the grand total to date to
$34,249. During the remaining brief
period the sales are expected to pile up
to such an extent that this total will be
more than trebled. AS a matter of fact,
Postmaster Chance and Director CAlla-
han of the war savings committee an
ticipate total looking very much like
$150.000. This is not considered improb-
able. Past contests have shown that
the sales come with a rush during the
last days OF a contest.
H. c. Richter. who has been a con-
sistent runner in all former contests,
is leading the field in section 1, which
includes those carriers whose routes
are in the business districts of the
city. His total now amounts to S3,l40.
which is $500 more than that of S. r.
Ashford whom he crowded out of first
place and with whom he has been
running a -and-neck race since
the starting of the contest.
Bridwell Furnishes Surprise.
Another surprise furnished yester-
day was the passing of H. A. Clark,
who has had a strange hold on third
place, by E. Bridwell, who has been
showing some real speed during the
Bridwell's lead over Clark is small,
and he will have no opportunity to
stop and catch his wind"
Riley Spiker has shortened mate

from fourth position in the list. Car
day. advancing about $500 farther on,
while j. B. Baker made his first ap-
pearance among the leaders by finding
customers whose purchases totaled
$44s.
Although he has shown very little
activity in the last two days. Kidwell
still leads the men in section 2, while
Gerard, leaping over Ellis. who was
second yesterday, needed out S4o ad-
ditional in order to pass the leader.
Winston and Miley likewise bettered
their standing considerably as re-
suit Of their efforts during the day.
Cole Strengthens Grip.
Irving Cole Of Takoma Park, who GUST
cd Joe Turner Of Chevy Chase from the
top position in section 3 on Tuesday.
further strengthened his lead yesterday,
and his sales are now more than double
those Of his erstwhile rival
Other men in section 3 who distin-
guished themselves as a result of their
days efforts were Hengesbach and
Waller. who passed Andrew Burga, and
Grover c. Macdonald, who made his
first appearance as a contestant, with
sales Of $23S65 to his credit, and mod
estly assumed sixth place.
