GET HABIT OF EARLY
 MAILING, SAYS POSTMASTER

Postmaster John P. Murphy is try ing to get the business houses of the city, and people generally, to help themselves and help the postnfice force as well by cultivating the habit of early mailing of their mail for New York instead of dumping all into the postoffice in a heap at the end of the day.
 The postmaster advises that patches of mail should be sent to the post office several times during the day instead of saving it all up to bring at once. This new plan would facli- tate the handling of the mail by the postoff1ce force, as 1t can be readily seen that the work on large quan- tity of mail would not have to be dons all at once late in the day. In the case of mail for New York, especially, it would also many times mean early delivery there for that mail goes down from here to New London on the ITO train, and if this train happens to be late the New York connection is miss ed. and it is several hours before an other mail train for New York goes through New London. By mailing at least part of their letters in time for the earlier afternoon train from here, merchants would be certain that the letters would have early delivery in New York.

A harmless, yet very effective treat ment is here given for the quick re- moval of hairy growths: Mix enough powdered delatone and water to cover the undesirable hairs, apply paste. and after or minutes remove, wash the skin and the hairs have vanished.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin's election Of Mr. Lcnroot
to the United States Senate goes far
toward relieving the rather unpleasant
fact that in one of the oldest and
solidest of the mid West states a So
cialist and a German, under indictment
for disloyalty, should receive something
like 10000 votes. We are able now TO
realize the actual voting strength which
was more or less behind the dsoyalty
of La Toilette. The latter may be among
the most high-minded of men. But he has
likewise shown himself a shrewd and
highly capable politician, and the Wis
consin result shows that he did not
greatly miscalculatc the backing that he
would have in the position he has taken.
There is, perhaps, no other state in
the Union with so large proportion
of German population, and none other
where so large a sociaistic vote could
have been polled. 1t reveals clearly
enough the intimate association Of La
Eolletteism, socialism and dsloyaltv.

Aeroplane Production

The manufacturer who has succeeded
IN getting more horsepower per pound Of
engine weight out of a gas motor than
any other American tells us the Liberty
motor is all right and will fulfil all rca-
sonable expectations.
What then, is the trouble with our air
programme, and why is production 50 far
behind our expectations?
In the first place, our expectations
were far too high, due 10 publicity meth
DDS that would have aroused the envy of
Barnum or q Wallingford
There was no understanding that we
were to rely upon our hard pressed allies
for approximately 25 per cent of the pro-
gramme, and that about onc-half Of the
remainder must be used for school pur-
poses entirely.
There is no appreciation of the long
period Of time necessary to tool a shop
for quantity production, particularly at Il
time when the normal scarcity of this
highest class Of artisan is aggravated to
the nth degree.
Neither does the public realize that the
manufacturer has had to contend with
literally many hundreds of structural
changes, each one scrappng work al
ready done and necesstating new begin
nings. Our shops are now practically
fooled, however, and large production be-
comes possible, provided we can coord
nate our engineering department with
that Of production. The engineers and
designers are not producers and unless
they are made to conform to the absolute
necessities of quantity production meth
DDS failure will be the inevitable result.
A rigid adherence to limits of varia-
tions in parts set by the engineering staff
should be enforced, but a limit of 1000
80 set when 100000 would do as well is
criminal at this time.
When the government says to the man
ufacturcr, "Dclvcr TO US motors Of this
design that viii develop not less than so

Abdul Hamd when in power professed
TO be ignorant of French, yet he spoke II
huently and with a remarkably GOOD accen:
on board the German varship Loreei,
which conveyed him from Saonica when
that town was on the point OF capture BY
the Greeks and Bulgarians "Deux gaerrcs
malheureuses dams la meme aimee, Cest
beaucoup.' he remarked to the captain. and
then went on also III French to ask for
news concerning the members of the Ger
man imperial family of which. j, seemed,
he knew every member. Subsequently the
talk drifted on 10 books, and Abdul asked
whether Sir Arthur Conan DOYLE was still
amusing the world with the exploits Of
Sherlock Holmes. "Those stories are TIE
only ones that ever appealed TO me- he
said. Conan Doyle would have made
magnificent chief of police" During his
voyage to Asia Minor he ate and drank
heartily, but did not make any use Of The

at Beylcrbey Abdul was still in good spirits

The Atlantic CITY Crowd

The gay throng at Atlantic City 1T
Easter time was extremely interesting
to observe, if only for it's composition. 1t
is estimated that the dozen larger hotels
may have had gate receipts for the three
days of above quarter Of a million. The
total expenditure Of the eight or ten
thousand folk able to pay from SO to
$50 a day each at the hotels could
scarcely have been less than half a
million.
Yet these folk as they sat about or
paraded through the hotel corridors. had
none of the traditional earmarks sup
posed to attach to the wealthy They
looked like, and probably were, mostly
Tammany politicians and movie" pct-
ure managers, motor car statesmen. sud
denly rich munition workers and all their
like, with their wives their families and
their sweethcarts
They were Just the average run of
Americans, such as you may SEQ almost
by the million in any largo city or at
any big gathering. They were out to
have good time and spend their money
and show they had it TO spend-by stop
ping at the most expensive and caudv
hotel they could crowd into.
They did not differ in any notable way
from the other 10000 or 10000 people
who had come to stay at the smaller
hotels, or by excursion train just for the
day, and likewise spending with a xost
that showed the genuine pleasure it was.
They were Americans all; and they
made it evident how very small a part
the saving folk or the mscrly play in
our prodigal American life. The odd
thing about it all, to our eye, is the very
genuine hatred which these generous
spenders have for the people who keen
their money and grow rich although it
IS evident that the spender gets far more
enjoyment out of his rcc!lcssnoss than
the misery out Of their thrift.
