POSTAL CLERKS ADVICE.

A clerk In the Postoiiice Department
has responded 10 the Postmaster
Generals request for suggestions as
to how to economize in the public
service as follows;
"Everytime a, man or woman In the
go ernment service withholds a requi-
sition for a pencil, a pad OF paper a
bali OF twine, a pen, or any other piece
OF equipment which upon second
thought he realizes he does not need.
he has by that act really done as good
work as II he had put money value
of the article into the public treasury.
Small economies by each. when multi
piled By the thousands, will result in
great savings"
The Postmaster General was so im-
pressed by the common sense OF this
letter that he has circularized II
throughout the department.
If more OF US Americans who arc
worried about our personal finances
during these distressed days would act
upon this postal clerks philosophy
we would find it easier to make both
ends meet Centralia Sentinel.

another state, labor leader who had
sullied his own faith by crookedness,
was sentenced to penal servitude. That
man had been almost worshipped by
those whom he duped. lie was one of
the Idle Poor; secretly he had been
fcathering his nest with gold chips,
Publicity and ridicuie curb the
activities of the Idle Rich. But what
of the Idle Poor? How can we handle
them7 O. yes. OF course. there arc
machine guns and bayoncts, TO be
used in time of social stress; but they
leave social scars which do not heal
for decades. II is better that we give
no occasion for revolt. But. someone
says, the Idle Poor seek to cause
trouble among contented workers of
just employers. How to handle them7
The answer Is easy: community edu-
cation. BY that we mean educating
the members OF an entire community
to understand their obligations to
themselves and the city in which they
live. This implies far more than book
knowledge.

EMPLOYMENT IN Wilmington.

A great deal has been said about
the United States Employment Ser
vice which will be conducted in Will
mington by members Of the Service
Citizens. who have volunteered their
time. energy, and executive ability.
The latter organization has made a
good name for itself in past days. II
has most wonderful opportunity to
show how II can conquer adverse con-
ditions at the present time.
While the Employment Service here
will have a hard task in finding work
Cor the unemployed. vet that task will
not be as difficult here as in some
other communities. We think that we
are suffering from hard times. We
have some little distress. and quite
bit of unemployment But there are
other cities which have these same
evils, but in addition have no indus
tries which can be brought TO life
and I'm which their jobless citizens can
find work.
Here in Wilmington it is possible
that several of our industries may
enlarge their forces as the demand
for their products increases. There
are certain factories which viii re-
sumo output as soon as conditions be-
come just bit brighter. The executives
OF some OF these plants now are laying
plans for the future, which include
the employment Of many persons. In
addition 20 all this. there is much pub
lie work which needs TO be done, and
which may be contracted for in the
near future.
The outlook for winter In Whining.
/ ton is not dark. Coupled with the
expectations listed above is the knowl-
edge that earnest men at the head
of our Employment Service will dc
all within their gifted abilities TO fur.
nish constructive relief to those whC
need 1t. Those Service Citizens wh,
are backing this employment pro3ec
deserve not only commendation-
which so often is hollow-but loya
support and cooperation. Their laborr
are for us. as we'll as for those VIII,
seek liveiihoods.

TINo AND TIN PLATE.

King Constantine of Greece still

Leeds 10 Princess Nenia Is postponed.
Mrs. Leeds, the Princess Christopher,
sends the master of court to the

Young Mr.. Leeds not being Of age, 1;

SENATE AND NHwBERRY CASE.

There is no new moral to be drawn
from the conflicting reports of the
Senate on the charges OF corruption
in tho election OF Truman IL. Newbcr-
ry OF Michigan. II Is a depressing
party ,ines--Iiepublicans exonerating
him and Democrats condemning him.
That. however. had been expected and
is less an indictment of the Republi-
cans than of American politics.
The Republican committee members
az least have the grace, or wisdom. TO
show sense of political danger in
their findings when they naively vol
unteer the information that the sum
spent to elect Ncwberry was large
too iarge--a larger sum than ought to
have been expended" But they are
confident, in spite OF oil testimony
and evidence, that Newberry himself
knew nothing about IL.
Whether all the Republican mems
bers ,of the Senate will support the ma
jority report may yet be a question
There are independent spirits in the
Republican ranks who may venture
To decide for themselves.
The supreme court decision handed
down on May 2, which freed Mr.. New
berry from q prison sentence, wat
based primarily on the fact that IN
the eyes of that court the Federal cor
rupt practices act should not consti-
tutionally apply to primary election

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A.. Guest
THE THINKER.

a fortune in store for the man
who can Think
And glory to crown his endeavor;
He can come to renown, who will often
sit down
Away from the wise men and clever;
And with. reason TO guide him will map
out a plan
That is best for his country and best
for the man.
The thoughtless are many, they swarm
in a throng
But the Thinkers are solemnly few,
But the man at the top, is the man who
viii stop
To ponder the course he'll pursue;
And he never attacks any problem of
doubt
Before he has carefully thought it all
out.
Our country will honor the man who
can Think
For the need of his wisdom is great;
The man unafraid and not easily
swayed
Is the man who shall fashion our
fate,
For plausible Folly the mob often
moves,
But the Thinker considers before he
approves.
These are days for the Thinker, there's
much TO be done.
And many the dangers to face,
And what seems to be good when its
all understood
May be ruin and shame and disgrace
Whenever arises a problem of doubt
For the good of our country let's rea-
son 1t out.

CARUS0 AND BISPHAM.

First caruso. then Bispham dies. The
one was supreme in the operate field,
a tenor rohusto without compare. The
other was the most popular Ameri-
can baritone on the concert stage. and
star of no little magnitude in opera.
We might say that the first was
wonderful, exotic orchid; the second,
a glorious snnfiower with no peer.
Both men went through untold
hardships to reach success. But Of
the two Of them. Bispham's path con-
tained more stones. Carnso was born
in musical country, where the artist
is respected for his ability. lie was
of Catholic faith. which does not draw
the line at the footiights. Bispham
was an American, and we still, as a
Nation, think il undignified 10 do
things artistic. Furthermore, he came
of Quaker stock. which has nothing
in common with worldly things.
Caruso's family urged him on; he
had only material obstacles to over
come. Bispham's family tried to keep
him away from the stage; he had
spiritual obstacles TO knock down.
Most of Caruso's time was spent in
the great operate centres. A grea,
portion of Bispham's artistic life was
given 10 rural and inland America
While one man was thrilling even
the bored members of the Gold Crust
with his gloriously beautiful art. the
other was singing before hoi-polloi
and making hoi-polloi dream dream.
Of loveliness. One was the darling Of tn.
Golden Horseshoe; the other was tn.
idol of those souls whose drab live.
were frightened by his voice.
Both men were great in their fields
Both were beloved by their associates
Both were men--as well as artists
America can i'll afford to lose tw
of its brightest stars.

tell how important they are from their
size
Some of the worlds greatest ideas

Ten Commandments, 297; the Decla-
ration of Independence, 1921; and the
Constitution of the United States, q
294.
Big ideas are being put before the
people of Wilmington through the

the hundreds Of important things that

Today has little sorrow, it is
a good safe bet; but we believe
tomorrow viii show up better
yet. And all through life we're
cropping, with slow and heavy
tread, still hoping. always hop
ing, for better things ahead.
And so our loads were bearing
with patience. day by day; few
pilgrims are despairing, though
weary be the way; for in US IS
implanted the faith in joy TO
come. in Eden lands enchanted,
where birds are singing some.
Without this faith we'd falter.
and quit our useful chores, and
you would need a halter 10 drag
us from our doors. All, then no
fine incentive this stale life
would accord. no spur 70 minds
inventive, for progress no re-
ward; then all our pep would
vanish, and we would sink in
cloth, and growing also-ran-
nish, we'd end up in the
broth. But all well balanced
mortals have faith in bliss
ahead, and so they greet with
chortles the bogies dire and
dread. What il today is tougher
than punk days gone before?

morrow's at the door. What If

There are entire communities i'm

tact that his worknen are human be-

orders find that those higher up are
not necessarily the tough-souled

CHANCE.

II has well been said that nothing
ever happens but the unexpected.
Chance, or some mysterious force
which seems TO govern the lives of
certain men, plays peculiar tricks at
times. Take the case of Willie Dooley,
Philadelphia lad who went on the
vaudeville stage some years ago.
Willie was a champion tumbler. He,
with his brothers Gordon and Johnny,
have tumbled over American stages
ten thousand times. Willie's speciality
was trick falls from ladders. He would
climb up until his head was in the
flies. then a rung would give way. and
Willie would fall. Just before crash
ing onto the red plush carpet which
covered the stage he would give his
body a quick land on his hands
turn a somersault, and finally stop or
his feet-smiling.
II took Willie years of practice tc
do that stunt. Old showmen said thai
there was not another man in the work
who could perform it, And they ad
mitted that he risked his neck eacf
time he did it, as it was not stun
which looked dangerous. and was com
paratively safe: it looked dangerous
and it was dangerous.
