Whether Bath will follow the
lead of Portland in the use of mo-
torcycles for special delivery mail is
matter interesting the patrons OF
the local postofhce but in the opin-
ion of Postmaster Fred W. Hart
nett this is matter not likely to
come for some time. Bath was in
the lead however in procuring girls
to deliver special delivery mail ow-
ing to the shortage Of boys is
months ago and now two are kept
busy daily. Miss Kate Smith has the
morning shift. going to work at
seven. and Miss Leonora Clements
completes the day which requires
her to remain at her post until af-
ter the distributor of the 6.33 mail.
Their work takes them to each end
of the city and they are kept busy
both during morning and afternoon
and sometimes Miss Clements does
not get through her days work until
nine at night. They find it healthy
work however and for the most part
enjoy it and perform their labors
just as well as the boys Of similar
age.

Another of the problems that our
army IN France disposed of in prac-
teal way was the supplying of fuel
for heating and cooking purposes in
the trenches. Soidified alcohol filled
the bill because 1t was safe. uoWen-
tent to handle and burned without
odor or smoke AS result OF the de-
mand huge factories were buIlt 10
produce this novel fuel. Now new
uses must be found for the vast OUT
put of solldified alcohol.
Mr.. l. Pepper of New York city,
who made its use of such practical
value by inventions such as the mess
kit stove, airplane food carrier, dug
out heater and various other devices,
has again come to our rescue by in
venting special kind of portable
stove, ideal for picnics, camping boat
ing and other outdoor excursions.
The stove Is made In the form of n
suitcase of heavy steel and is provid-
ed with hinged drop which forms
the front Of the stove when 1t is
erected. Folding feet beneath the
stove serve to raise 1t an inch or SO
above the surface on which 1t may be
placed. The fuel is supplied in the
form of cans, which are placed be-
meath the burner holes.--philadelphla

The Way to save Is to Save.

Lloyd George took the short way
and the straight way with his minis
tiers when his judgment told him the
time had come to make drastic re.
duction in the British Government
expenses. He talked the situation
over with his colleagues, and then he
sent each of them letter in which
he wrote:
The time has come when each
minister ought to make clear to those
under his control that If they can.
not reduce expenditures they must
make room for somebody who can.
That is the public temper, and il
is right"
"The way to resume is to resume
The way to economic is to econo
mize If the men on the job won't
save, others will be found who will
save. To stop waste. stop it,
The short way is the best way for
Great Britain. for the United States
for New York State, for New York
city, for every government and fol
every individual. The man or woman
who is extravaganza in domestic and
personal expenditures may not be
able to make room for somebody ellie

oriaIn Of the uFooIseap.o

The fact that the British govern,
ment, on economy bent, has discon-
tinued the use of foolsc,p papef for
official correspondence, has called
forth n mild discussion as TO the
origin of the name. Most authorities
are agreed that it Is due TO the wafer
mark, fools cap, with which this size
of paper was adorned, but when i
comes to the question of who first in
troduced It authorities differ. Some
say IT comes from Germany, and point
to the fact that German paper bear
ing a foolscap watermark, and dating
from 1919, was exhibited in 1871,
Others credit the claims of Sir John
Spielman, who had paper mills at
hartford toward the close of the six
teenth century. And yet others lay 1t
oil to I'm order made by the rump
parliament which enjolned that the
royal arms in the ,watermark be re-
moved from the official paper of tho
house, and "a FOOLS cap and bells be
substituted"

To remove paint from cloth, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine, lay a
pad Of blottlng paper on the side of
the material on which the paint fell,
and rub the other side gently with n
soft piece of flannel dipped in chloro-
form or benzol, both of which are
paint solvents. AS the paint diSsolvts
1t naturally passes into the most alb
sorbent material in contact with it,
which is blottng paper-not into the
adjacent cloth. Deep stains can be
completely removed by this method.
