BURLESON HITS
BACK ATG. 0. P.
Platform Criticism Of In
competent Administra-
ton" Gets Reply.
STATEMENTS FALSE"
Says Republicans Killed Ef-
fort to Give Postal En-
ployes Increase.

Postmaster General Burleson hit
back hard yesterday at his critics
among the Republican platform
builders who inserted the following
statement In their structure.
I'VE took from the incompetent
Democratic administration, the ad-
ministration of the telegraph and
telephone lines of the country and
returned them to private owner
ship"
Immediately after the wires were
returned" declared Burleson, "the
chief executive officer of the tele-
phone companies. great Repub-
hcan. and recognized as the greatest
expert on wire communication In
the world. said:
During government control by the
Postmaster General not a single or
der was issued which was not in the
interest of the service"
Good Praised Him. Too.
Representative Good, Republican,
and chairman of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations, is also quoted
as commencing Burleson for his
economic and efficient handling of
the telegraph and telephone systems.
The Republican organization"
declared Mr.. Burleson, mot having
the courage to make a direct charge.
first advertised to the country sin
lister insinuation that during the Pc
riod of government control the wires
were used for political patronage
and political espionage. Only four
new places were created, two of
which were filled by Republicans.
Another false statement contain
ed in the Republican platform is:
e I'VE reduced the cost of postage
and increased the pay of the postal
employs
Pay Boost Denied.
NO reduction was made by the
Republican Congress. The only re-
ductions of postage during the past
seven years were those made by or
der of the Postmaster General on
parcel post matter. The Democratic
Congress did, at the suggestion of
the Postmaster General, relieve the
people of the war tax imposed on
first class mail matter.
The claim of increased wages for
postal employees would be ridiculous
but for the tragic consequences of
the action of the Republican ma
jority. A Democratic Congress made
provision for a postal commission to
reclassify postal employees. AS a re-
suit of the death of Senator Bank
head, control of this commission
passed from the Democrats. This
defeated the earnest request of the
Postmaster General for a plan of
increased compensation"

This year the net and lace dress
has come in for it's own again.

Some Of the net gowns are made

Other net frocks are made with

bands of insertion in between the

USES FOR WORKOUT SHIRTS
Fathers Discarded Garments May Be
Worked Over Into Aprons and
Other Wearabies.

Have fathers shirts become worn
around the collars and the cuffs? II
so. mother can cut them out around
the neck, cut off the sleeves and make
a soft collar for the cut-out neck. Thus
father is assured of u relief from stiff
collars and cuffs during his days of re-
taxation.
After father has had his last turn
out of his old shirt, they are relegated
to mothers patch-box. For a humber
of years mother has used the bacls
and tails of the old shirts to make
herself sewing aprons. These she
makes after a pattern of a straight
bib apron, with fitted pockets at the
bottom. Such an apron is most use
full for wear around the house.
Mother used the best part Of n
Of futher's madras shirts to make lit
tie Josephine a play hat. She,made the
brim double. finishing the edge with a
buttonhole scallop. These hats are
readily Numbered and always look
good.

cts for toys and each pocket had a lit
tie animal embroidered In cross-sutch

brought no friends to the doors.
1t was nearly always with regard to
Isobel that the condition seemed I'M
natural. For an invalid like Mr.. Sid

they had of life or with the perform

paid and which they might abandon

She IA young, vibrant, beautiful, but
vistas opening into human prospects

mother was in great distress.
