Trinity college, Durham. N. C., which has been the recipient of many gener- ous donations from Mir. Benjamin N Duke, multi millionaire of the Amer 1can Tobacco company, complimented its chief benefactor few evenings ago on the occasion of his sixty-seventh birthday, by a graceful serenading party of more than 100 students from the college, who went to his handsome home in Durham and rendered many beautiful and appropriate selections.
 The Morning Herald of Durham of April 2S says:
 The serenading party came as com plete surprise to the millionaire to- bacco magnate and according to the members of his family caused him great personal pleasure and apprecia- tion
 The students headed by Dr. F. c. Brown, head of the English departme ent at the college, assembled early in the evening on the campus. They marched to the Duke home in body. Arriving at the home they sang a number of popular songs, and sent up several col lege yells, and cheers for MT. Duke.'

He was very much awake, however. and ac- cording to members of the family, fol- lowed the entire student programme with smiles and good cheer seeming to take deep interest in the proceed ings.
 From his room MT. Duke sent word to Dr. Brown that he desired the name of each student participating in the demonstration. He also invited the boys to make themselves at home. They were invited into the Duke residence Band were taken for tour through the large mansion. The home is hand somely furnished. The students were especially interested in the valuable collection of pictures and antiques on display in the home.
 Aside from the visit from the col lege students, Mir Duke yesterday re- ceived many congra tulatory messa es from friends, as well as large collec- ton of beautiful flowers. His illness prevented MT. Duke from giving . birthday dinner or going through with any of the customary formalities of a birthday
 It was stated at the Duke home last night that Mir. Duke will leave Durham this morning in his private car fol New York. His illness while not criti- cal has caused him to remain in his bed for a majority of his stay in Dur ham. It was said last night that al | though his condition has shown nc great improvement, that he appears suf. l ficiently strong for the trip to New | York
 Members of the family were of tht opinion last night that MT, Dukes six ] ty-seventh birthday will be the ont which he will remember most pleas antly, especially owing to the tribute paid him by the college students.

1t 10 probable that Mr.. Harding
will accept the advice Of WIN Hays
and put al. the postmasters under
civil service rules and require ex-
aminations Of al incumbent post
masters who got their jobs through
politics.
The new postmaster general also
has the full support Of Mr.. Hard
ing In the plan to humanize the
postoffice department. There are
many places throughout the coun-
/ try where the conditions under
which clerks are working are con-
ducive to bad health. Mr.. Hays de-
clares the government should keep
pace with progressive employers
who are spending large sums Of
money for social welfare. He has
called conference Of the heads OF
the employees organizations and be-
gins tomorrow q careful study of
the whole subject. All the energy
and industry which Will Hays ex-
hibited as chairman Of the Repub-
lican national campaign seems to
have been transfused into the post
Office department. He is alive with
new plans and new schemes for
efficiency. 1t will not be his fault
if the country before long doesn't
find an improvement in the mail

lobe NAMED ON
THEIR MERITS
tcop,,nued from Page One,

rot be subject to the whims OF ex-
scutive orders, but that the respon-
sibility for change shall lie with
congress as a whole.
Argue for Plan.
Ia support of the Harding plan.
The argument is made that many OF
The postmasters appointed under
the Wilson administration were
olaced in the civil service classif1-
eation without examination. and
that II isn't fair to permit the DEM
ocrats to remain in office without
taking their chances in an open ex-
animation. 1t is insisted that both
republicans and Democrats who
nassed their examinations under
The Wilson executive order will not
he disturbed. The new arrange
mept would apply only to postmas-
ters who have never been Obliged
10 pass any examinations.
or course, there are objections to
the examination system on the
ground that a school teacher could
answer the questions asked on an
examination paper more readily
than most applicants with execu-
tive ability and little book lore.
But Postmaster General Hays IN
sists that the examinations will
cover executive talents, and indeed
the selection will be based on Or
ganizing ability rather than mere
book knowledge.
The postmaster general is hearth
" in favor Of the merit system be-
cause he thinks it is the only way
10 put the postoffice department on
an efficient basis. He is full of en-
thusiasm about the future and re-
alizes the responsibility Of his task.
