The Delay in Mails

During the war period, the American people
accepted with forbearance and liberation an alb
ominable mail service. It accepted with COM
posure the explanation Of the directing heads of
the system. Now that the war is over, there
seems to be. no legitimate excuse for perpetual
ing the chaos that prevented prompt delivery
of mail.
So far the American public has not been able
to learn the cause for the present situation. It's
business sense, however, tells it that long and
painstaking investigation by governmental au-
thorties is unnecessary to discover the source of
the trouble. If incompetency is responsible dis
charge and dismiss the delinquent persons. 1t
does not take a business organization long to fer
ret out the cause of delinquencies in it's system.
Officials of the post office department should be
able by this time to recover from the effects of
the war and to remedy deficiency that is as de-
plorable as it is injurious to business.

Investigation has shown that women, almost
as frequently as men, support dependents, giving
basis for the argument that wages for women
should be sufficient to cover the cost of living
for these dependents.

War Orphans Of France Dying

The children of France have not yet emerged

Building for the Future

Returned soldiers are bringing with them the
conviction that home, church or public struc-
ture should be erected so substantially that it
will last more than one generation. They found
comfortable houses that were three hundred
years old, churches that date back for many gen.
erations, and reverence for permanence in
struction that amazed the Americans.
Not all the overseas men will agree with the
findings of some of their companions. They will
point to the absence Of sanitary plumbing, poor
heating facilities and other household accessories
ace in comparison with some of the finest chat
eaus of France and the pretentious homes of rich
Frenchmen. But all these improvements could
be made easily and without great expense if the
French people wanted them.
Houses can be built to last for generations if
little attention is given to the principle of per-
manence. Permanent material should be used
and skilled mechanics employed Proper super
vision of these two points will assure the con-
struction of house that can be handed down
from father to son. If plan is adopted that
keeps in view beauty, economical arrangements
of rooms, and the providing of warmth, the house
will not go out of style or become obsolete far
as its comfort is concerned.

diminish for many years to come if ever; as we'll
