, WSesziIT years before
~ssas: Henry Hud-
sons voyage in his little boat ,
, the Half Moon, up the river
which now bears his name. For
at that early date an Italian
navigator, verrazano, exploring
for France, sailed into New
York bay. This first visit to
New York made little stir ana
, was soon forgotten, and il was
Hudson's rediscovery w hich
, tempted the Dutch to send over
colonists and obtain for the I
Dutch West India company
monopoly of the Dutch fur trade
in America. The new colony
which was started in 1923 called
its territory New Netherlands.
, after its mother country, ana
their principal city New Amster-
dam. 1t is interesting to reflect
that Manhattan island, which is
now New York city, was pur-
chased from the Indians for $21
worth of beads and ribbons.
, Even in its earliest days the set
tlement on Manhattan Island
, was cosmopolitan. In 1643 1t is :
reported that eighteen different
languages were spoken there.
In 1864 the English captured
New Netherlands, and King
Charles ii presented the colony
to his brother, the duke of York,
who was later King james II,
and its name was then changed
to New York.
New York played leading
part In the formation of the
United States. 1t was Alexan-
der Hamilton who was New
York's representative in framing
the Constitution and it was New
York city which was selected as
the first capital of the new
Union, where Washington was
inaugurated the first president.
Ever since the Empire state, as
New York is sometimes called,
has held the deciding voice in
presidential elections. Though
its size is only 49,204 square
miles, not quite half way in the
list of states according to area,
its great population gives New
York forty-five presidential cleo
tors, the largest number of any
of the states.

RED TAPE CAUSE OF CONDITIONS IN

MEXICAN CARUSO" HAS
 HIGH HOPES FOR SELF

Syracuse, July 29.-The Mexican Caruso" paid visit to Syracuse a day or two ago. This "Car1so's'' name
 is Signor Roberto Aranda. He speaks only Spanish. He is a grad uate of several educational institu- ttons in Mexico City, whence he halls. Aranda has "a rich, wonderful voice."
 according to Mary Garden, before whom he says he sang in Les Ange- les, but it must be trained, said John Mccormack, who. Armada stated, also praised his sweet tenor'' but recom- mended a season or two under a voice culture artist. Aranda is twenty eight, but he looks much younger His appearance in Syracuse followed a more or less trudging of highways from the Coast He said he had used his voice en route to pay the way for a square" meal, and a Good Samari- tan here and there had helped him. He is destined for New York to con- suit the Spanish Consul General there From that dignitary Aranda hopes to obtain assistance to enable him to se- cure the necessary instructions which he believes, will lead to that height in voice control and sweetness before which the operatic world will bow

REIMBURSEMENT
 HITS POST OFFICE
Post War Extravaganza Ordered Curtailed With
 out Impairing Service.
(By International News Service,

toy lntefnatfOnal News Service.) Washington, July 29-Post-wa re- aoJustment at the larger post offices
 throughout the country is to begin at
 once, according to detailed instruc-
 nons that have been sent to about 1O,0OO postmasters by the Post Office Department These instructions called attention to the acute financial condi- ton Of the country and to the urgency or meeting the desire of the President TOT economy in public expenditures as Tar as possible in the Postal Service.
 Whlle aiming at extravagant and Ing and immediately after the war, positive instructions have been given to postmasters to keep constantly in mind that the service must not be cur tailed or impaired.
 Plans for the reduction in expendi- lures at post offices which will amount to approximately s5,Oo0,OoO out of the S15,000,0OO to be saved in postal expenditures for the current nscal year, have been under way for several months Careful comparisons Of expenditures with the receipts and business transacted have been made. Business and receipts at many offices doubled and treb1ed, incident to the war, and clerical and carrier forces were increased accordingly, including extraordinary expenditures for auxil- lary and substitute service, as well as for overtime. The general survey of postal conditions shows that. while this emergency has long since passed. and with population and business greatly lessened at many of these larger offices, there are few that have made any appreciable curtaiIn1ent in expenditures or voluntarily surren- dered any clreks or carriers On the other hand, the general survey shows. expenditures for auxiliary help have continued anstinted. overtime has ap- parently been unnecessarily employed, and repeated requests have been made for additional clerks and carriers.
 PoStmaSters are asked to consider the revision of schedules of clerks and carriers; the shifting of forces from one section to another, according to the volume of work, and to arrange the work of the office so as to avoid the necessity or overtime work as well as to carefully scrutinize all mis- celfaneouS expenses of their offices
 Public participation in this effort to save at post offices is suggested by use of mail receptacles at residences and business houses. Early mailing facing of mail, use of precanceIed stamps and simple routing of mail by heavy users of the mail are urged as an aid to economy, as well as in the quick dispatch of mail.

 COrreSpOudeuf


 Washington, July 29-The govern nlent now has some shining lights in the role of "humanizers." Some of them deserve the beautifully fashion ed verbal bouquets showered upon them
 There's Will Hays, A Postmaster General whose dignity is not so aus tere that he deigns to stoop and shake the withered hand of a poor but worthy scrub-woman occupying a lowly place on his payroll. Not a village crossroads post office that has not felt the kindly touch of that masterfu1 personality. He's sowing seeds of kindness and reaping re- markable dividends in raised effici- ency in every end sof the postal ser vice.
 There's Harry Daugherty An At torney-Genera1 who believes that jus tice tempered with mercy is the kind that makes the strongest appeal to the best in man or woman. Daugh- erty takes the view that most men are absolutely honest He maintains there is good in all men, even in the worst of them An. unfortunate mis- step by an offender does not stamp him as fit for the bow-wows. That's not the way with Daugherty. He may have to handle a crude product, and he's had a lot of samples passed up to him since he took over the Department of Justice. But it takes Daugherty, a wizard in human nature studies to find the good in men and that everyone else has Overlooked.
 There's David H. Blair When President Harding picked Blair to do one of the biggest jobs laid out for any man in the government service he selected another great humanizer Blair blows no trumpets. He makes no grandiloquent speeches, though he can make a crack-jack speech on oc- caSions.
 This boss collector of Uncle Sam's revenues, after being in office a bare month, has all of the 10000 men and women of the Internal Revenue Bu- reau behind him, and the reason is this:
 When Blair took over the job the first thing he did was to call in the chiefs of the divisions and say about one dozen words That's about he
