Captain Jones's Luck.

Captain ALLAN r. JONES, the Eng
lish dock superintendent who won
the Calcutta Sweepstakes on this
years English Derby, collecting
$269,100 on an investment of S2.75,
as told in THE New YORK HERALD
yesterday, has made record win
ming in the history of the drawings
which are feature annually in the
betting on the greatest of all racing
classics.
Derby sweeps" as they are called
in Great Britain and her colonies,
are as old as the race itself, and the
event has achieved much OF its popu-
larity and fame because Of them.
Interest in the Derby is not confined
to the breeders, owners and trainers
of the animals nominated for the
prizes or to those engaged in thor
oughbred production, who regard it
as one of the finest Of all the neces-
sary tests for guidance In the es.
tablishment of type. 1t has a fol-
lowing through the various grades of
society from the peer of the realm
to the laborer on the docks, and no
Englishman would think he was liv-
ing up to British traditions il he
did not have something "on" the
Derby
The fashionable elements Of British
society deem it duty to see the race
and bet on it, while any effort to
keep the man who works with his
hands from having his share in a
sweep or a few shillings on the horse
of his choice would be resented with
as much fervor as an attempt to de-
prive him Of his beer and baccy"
In every part of the globe where
British influences are felt Derby
sweeps are arranged, and there isn't
much attention paid to business on
the day the race is run until the
cables flash the name OF the winner.
The magic slip of paper, guarded
with jealous care, might mean for
tune, as it did in the case of Captain
JONES; and how can a fellow work
when a quarter Of a million waits
around the corner for him?
Hope is word filled with magic,
and as long as it exists those who
possess it can see tiny patch of
silver in the most leaden cloud. It
was the late CHARLIE REED soldier
of fortune, breeder of thoroughbreds
and philosopher. who once operated
the Casino at Saratoga Springs when
gambling was public in that lovely
town, who propounded the question:
Ever hear of a man committing
suicide with lottery ticket in his
pocket?"
When the time for the publication
Of the nominations for the next Derby
comes around every Britisher, no
matter what part of the world he
may inhabit, will be all the more
eager to participate in sweep be-
cause of the luck of Captain JoNEs.

How Uncle Sam Might Save.
Business Methods in Selling Surplus

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In THE
NEW York HERALD's special despatch
dated Washington, d. c., May so. en-
titled costs Cut Billions, but Nothing

body can talk in general terms about
the open Hoodgates OF Government eX-
travagance, but no one individuai orr
Of ten thousand can point to the vari-
GUS controls and show where one chan

to save two hundred million. &C.
II Is true that there are experts on
the Government payroll who might do

total surplus property on hand. II Is
safe to say that 1t exceeds $1,000. .000,-

own sales, outlines its own policy OF

The army surplus property is being

Branch offices are este blished. but there
ia no cooperation among the bureaus.
Before property exceeding a certain val.

approved by the Director OF Sales at
Washington. who also maintains a large
personnel whose duties arc merely n
duplication Of those performed by the
personnel of the various bureaus.
The navy and tho Shipping Board
and other departments OF the Govern

Government hope to keep down it's costs

Air Mail Service Reform.

POstmaster-General HAYS in his
effort to clean up the air mail SER
vice mess which he inherited from
BURLEsoN appears to be striking
swiftly but carefully. The suspen-
sion of several officials at Chicago
and the immediate abandonment of
all the lines except the transconti-
mental are indications Of the bad
conditions which Mr. HAYS found in
the service.
Mr.. BuRLEsoN's much touted flying
mail was expensive, almost unneces-
sary so far as the delivery of letters
was concerned, and, worst of all, was
killing men by the score. Poor ma
chimes, poorly inspected, meant death
to the fiiers. The investigation con-
Quoted under Postmaster-Genera
HAYs's direction has already proved
what was said in these columns a
year ago-that there was no progress
in the service as it was conducted.
In a statement issued this weel,
the Post Office Department admits
that the short routes "are very ex-
pensive to operate and do not materi-
ally improve the mail service over
service that is in effect on the fast
trains" That is exactly what THE
NEw YoRK HERALD said. A New Yorl,
business man wishing to send a letter
from here to Washington found the
railroad mail the more efficient and
trustworthy.
The air mail was expected to be
of benefit to aviation in general. In
the past it has accomplished nothing,
in that line. In future II may il
scientific methods are used. But the
service must not be used as it hos
been, what with trying to make bad
machines into good ones 1t must
have good machines and then try TO
find ways to improve them in safety,
strength and speed. The transconti.
mental route is long enough and
varied enough for every possible ex.
pertinent.

Trees of Memory.

A former member of Battery B.
149th Field Artillery, has farm
near Chicago. There were 200 mem.
bers of the battery and for every one
of them this comrade in arms of
theirs has set out tree. For the
living there are hard naples for the
dead oaks. There are many oaks,
unhappily, for the war took heavy
toll from the Battery B men.
But their names are to survive on
the trees In their comrades memo
rial maple and oak grove. Every
tree is to be marked with the name
of the American soldier, living or
dead. whom it represents. To future
generations the oaks will tell the
number and the names OF those who
made the supreme sacrifice for their
country The beautiful naples will
record the list Of those who returned
to the homeland.
BY the time the slow growing oaks
and naples have attained their full
maturity the last of the brave men
they represent will have passed away.
IT will be 2 grove of the dead, in q
way. But only in way. 1t will

SATURDAY. JUNE 4, 1921.
Down the Initiation Stairs.

We are coming down the imitation
stairs, step by step. 1t takes longer
for one man to see situation than it
takes another to see it. 1t takes one
man longer to act on situation after
he sees it than it takes another to act
on it. But gradually the industrial sit
uation Of this country is becoming
understood, the necessity of economic
readjustment is being faced squarely
by employers as we'll as by employees,
by organized as well as by unorgan-
lied labor.
One day it is 5ricklayers' union
in South Bend, Indiana, which agrees
to make a start at reviving the mo-
tionless building trades by accepting
a reduction of wages, while the car
penters' union and the plumbers
union in the same community offer to
20 as far as ever the bricklayers go.
In one place like Elizabeth, New Jer-
sey. the 500 members of the plumbers
union take cut of 81 a day to try
TO put life into the building business
there. And 80 1t spreads around the
country.
But perhaps the most notable eX-
ample of common sense and public
spirit is to the credit of the plaster
ers' union of Portland, Maine. In
April it voted scale reduction OF
12M per cent, and as that has
proved to be not enough to start
work in its field it volunteered
day before yesterday still another
cut Of 121s per cent. The Portland
plasterers are going after their jobs
till they find them.
That is the way to get the country
back to work. No matter how Sc
we're depression capital and labor
have suffered. no matter how dark
the outlook has been with nobody
willing to stand the costs and pay
the prices that were demanded, there
IS always a market point where goods
can sell. industry can operate and
wages can be paid.
The merchant knows this to a de-
gree, but after he has cleared his
shelves Of his existing stock at a
sacrifice he cannot complete the
whole journey without the aid of the
manufacturer and the wage Garner.
The manufacturer knows il from his
experience in selling to the distribu-
ter, but he cannot meet the situation
without the aid of labor. When,
however, they all pull together to get
the costs down to the point where
the public can buy and will buy the
trouble is as good as over
You might almost say that if man
ufacturer, merchant and wage Garner,
acting together and to sufficient ex-
tent. could get costs of everything.
everywhere down to the right level
this very afternoon the country could
start ahead again full speed next
Monday But the employers and the
employees who do not want to do
their share in breaking the economic
deadlock simply put off the return of
good times for all. They cannot pre-
vent 1t. Sooner or later they have
got to knuclSle down to the laws of
economics. So why not all, like the
horse sense organizations of South
Bend, Elizabeth and Portland, join
in the procession at once?
