Postal Employees Deserve What
They Are Asking For

The National Association Of Supervisory POsOfhce EN-
pOyss which has just closed its annual convention Allan
BIC City adopted resolutions asking for increases in their
wage scale Of from % to 80 per cent.
The plan to have these increases based upon the
.Oeipts Of the offices in which they are employed.
The annual convention of Postoffce Clerks which will
be held next week. is expected to pass similar resolutions
bill has been introduced in the lower branch Of Con-
rsss directing the Postmaster General to pay letter
rer postal clerks and other employees in the postal service
increase effective from July Of this year. and favorable
action by the Committee Postofces has been assured
These movements toward decent wage for one Of the
useful and faithful classes Of Government employees
should receive the support Of the public.
At their present scale the postal clerks and letter
ers among the most poorly paid Of American work
ingmen.
The highest paid mail sOrtsr gets only $780, and the
great majority Of postal employees get little above $1,000
When this wage is compared with what is paid purely
bty is placed it viii be promptly recognized that the
postal employees are making no unjust demands
Even 30 per cent increase on present wages would
hardly bring these up to the standard Of other work
when it is considered that they get payment for
overtime nor for work on Sundays and holidays.
The Government should be as liberal other employers
IT, indeed it ought not to be more generous
Uncle Sam is reasonably hard tasEmaster His
poye have frequent changes Of bosses and accompanying
uncertainty Ia class Of service even when civil service rules
protect them from complete discharge.
II is certain that there will be some sort Of readust
ment Of postal pay rolls.
The change in the upward direction should be coupled
with appreciation and generosity.

This PrOfiteer Is Waiting For a

This owner is Of the hardsheH kind Who oannot be

Il is for his kind that Senator Harrison framed bis

This man has been skyrocketing rents wherever he

This in itself is not much than few others have

the end Of their patience with his profteering:

wait! Those two leases expire in the winter time and
only hope that there's storm and that the ther

THE proyerb that Love fol-
lows the hanging pot" is Of
gypsy origin and comprises
the Romany girls fourteen points
regarding life, love and the pur-
suit Of happiness.
Other things may be neglected
in the makeshifts Of the wagon and
the open road. but the cook-pot
never loses its post Of honor. 1t is
the last thing packed, the first un-
packed; 1t never gives precedence
to the delicatessen counter nor the
ready to serve" food that makes
up so large a part Of our modern
menuG.
The cost of living may soar, but
the gypsy never neglects his inner
man. He is an ample feeder, and
his food is not without SAVIOR to
those who can wink at an absence
OF hand washing and table appoint
ments.
II gypsies ever have to econo-
mize, food plays no part in their
scheme Of retrenchment-it is just
not the gypsy's way Of saving.
Other things may go by the board,
but it's safe to say no gypsy ever
paid doctors bill for a spell" Of
anc-1ia or a case Of malnutrition.
On the other hand, cutting down
on food invariably represents our
first mistaken attempts to curtail
expenses. And it is particularly
truesof that new school Of newly
weds" where the wife keeps on
with her job.
How are you getting along in
your new fiat?" some one asked a
pretty young typist who had been
married about six months.

ing it, our American girls, as a
class, are inferior to foreign-born
women in the domestic arts.
Our labOr-saving Yankee con-
traptlons-and Heaven only knows
how we could do without them in,
this servantIess age-hsYe depriv-
ed our girls Of much skill in house
keeping. And, very frankly, num-

prefer the greater remuneration

They picnic and dream II the

the future. No wonder the hus-
bands and wives one sees about
restaurants and lunch rooms are
so silent. There is little to hnger
over and the places are in demand

Is Home Life Doomed?
1t is a melancholy reflection but
old-fashioned home life seems to
be doomed. High cost of living,
lack of servants, or in fact, any
help at all, have conspired to drive
US to "eat OUT or fall back upon
the baleful and expensive delica-
lessen. And the doughboys who
have married foreign-born wives
because "they can cook" will find
themselves confronted with fresh
difficulties in the way Of provid-
ing fuel, raw material, and a
home where these gentle arts may.

the last trace cf the old-fashioned
home that used to center about
the "groaning board" win be
found in the gypsy tent.
Will that be, the next move Of
the doughboy citizen when he gets
him a wife? "Love follows the
hanging pot" The proverb leads
one to inquire, "Will the gypsy
tent and the gypsy wagon be the
last Court Of Lover" If, as the
