A popular Rockland letter carrier
has been pestered by nagging friends
ever since last Sunday when he was
the victim Of a mishap which should
have entitled him to sincere sympa-
thy. s like this: The family was
planning a picnic at Ash Point, and
the dinner was to include lobster stew
in honor of the guests from out Of
town, who only know by reputation
what a real lobster stew is like. TAX
ing time by the forelock Mr.. and Mrs.
Letter Carrier picked out" the meat
Saturday night, putting the shells in
one bag and the meat in another.
I'm not going TO have those old shells
around the house. smelling" said Mr..
Letter Carrier, and when we go
down tomorrow l will throw the bag
away in some good place" True to
his plans, when the woods were
reached. MI. letter Carrier gave the
bag a mighty heave. Good radiance
to bad rubbish quoth he. An hour
later the kettle was boiling merrily at
Crocketts Beach. and preparations
were made to prepare the lobster
stew. Probably you have guessed it
ere this. but the letter carrier re-
ceived the surprise of his life when
he opened the bag supposed to con-
tain lobster meat, and found only the
shells. A few miles back in the
woods many pounds of delicious lob
ster meat were decaying under the
heat of the July sun. And that's why

Miss Alice Paul and other leaders

The fact that Miss Mabel Board

brings out an interesting situation
with regard to the controversy with
the National woman's Party.
Perhaps the situation viii become
clearer to the people Of Washington,
said Hoyem. when " 10 learned that
the first request made TO the NatiohAl
Committee on Prisons and Prison La
Dor for an Investigation Of the Dis
trict prisons wss made by the National
Woman's Party at the time the white
House pickets were imprisoned In lol7
and 1918.
WANTED UNBIASED COMMITTEE.
"At that time the committee was busy
with war work and was no. making
surveys Of civil prisons. We agreed.
however. to an investigation II made
fairly. To insure this fairness we
suggested that the Investigating
committee should have on IL women
familiar with District conditions who
had the best interests OF the District
at heart When the National Wom-
ans Party refused to have either
Miss Mabel Boardman or Mrs. Archi-
bald Hopkins on this committee we
did not feel that tho objects of the
sufrragettes coincided with the con-
structive objects of the committee ana
we dropped the matter"
Moyem declared the charges MADE
by the sufYragettes have reference
only to Whittaker's administration and
that Whitaker Is dead.
He also said the request for a sur
vey OF the District prisons was made
not by Commissioner Brownlow. as
Miss Alice Paul charges. but by John
JOY Edison. before any Of the officers
Of the committee were personally &C
quainted with Brownlow.
BREAD SENT TO SOLDIERS.
Replying to charges that ''unclean
food" was served TO inmates at Deco
quan, Mrs. Van Wrinkle declared that
American soldiers were supplied with
bread from the Institution and that II
II was good enough for the soldiers
1t was certainly good enough for the
prisoners.
THE leaders Of the Women's Party
are blessed with vivid immaginations
and that explains much" she remark
ed. Mrs. Van Wrinkle expressed her
belief that Miss Paul was sincere In
her convictions" but intimated In no
uncertain way that the suffrage lead
ers were bent on destructive critic

MEN AND BRAINS.

Whatever your station in the
business world, it was the use of
your brains that placed you there.
If you have climbed the ladder
Of success, you have made good
use Of your brains, have employed
them to your advantage.
If you have slipped downward
in the scale of life, you have failed
to take proper advantage of the
opportunities afforded you. You
have held the business instinct of
your brain in check. You have
not permitted it to function prop
erly.
Brains were made to use-not
TO abuse.
This fact should be kept well in
m1nd by the young men of this
community who are just entering
the door of life's career. That
career will depend upon the man
ner in which they employ their
brains.
The enthusiasm of youth is nat
ural and is to be expected. 1t is
a valuable asset.
But enthusiasm should not be
allowed to run its course I'M
checked. 1t should be curbed,
lest it go over the brink of the
commercial precipice.
The business world is full of
precipices- destructive pitfalls
for the feet Of the impulsive and
the .unwary.
Our young men just entering
upon their careers cannot do bet
ter than to take sober counsel of
himself, of his position, of his
hopes Of life.
The bridge to success can not
he crossed in a day. 1T is long
and there are many Instructions
to battle the novice in the world
Of affairs.
But brains properly employed
will win.

Whether you handle a pick or a
pen, Wheelbarrow or a set of
books: dig bitches or edit a paper.
ring an auction bell or write fun
ny things, you must work. Ii
you look around, you will see
that the men who are most able
to live the rest of their lives with
out work are the men who work
the hardest. Don't be afraid of
killing yourself with work. Work
gives an appetite for meals, it
lends solidity to your slumbers.
1t gives appreciation of holidays.
There are young men who do not
work. but the world is not proud
of them. 1t does not even know
their name; it speaks of them as
so-and-So's son. The great, busy
world does not even know they
are here. So find out what you
want to know and go in; take off
your hat and make a dust in the
world. The buster you are, the
less deviltrv you will get into, the
sweeter will be your sleep and
the better the world will be for
