 WASHINGTON. July 14.-Since No. vember Republicans and Demo crats alike have admitted pretty freely that Will H. Hays displays rare qualities of leadership in mar shalling the hosts of the G. o. P. to the polls, and a great majority of his own party at least seem agreed that he merits the title of postmaster general which President Harding saw fit to reward him. Even the most ardent admirers of the little cabinet officer. however. were scarce ly prepared to see him become a general" in the sense of one who commands a large body of armed and disciplined men
 Nevertheless, to a man up a tree or a robber in a mail car 1t looks as though Mir. Hays had done that very thing. for at the present moment he is in command of a greater number of armed men than George Washing, ton had under him during the great. CT part of the Revolutionary war. Assembled in one place. General Hays forces would make Rancho Villas most extensive cohorts look like kitchen-police detail, and would surpass both in numbers and equipment the standing armies oi most of the Latin-American repub, lies
 The postofficc department has ap- proXimately 3OO.O0o employees. An order issued by Postmaster General Hays recently directed that every essential cmployc of the postal ser vice be armed with a pistol or shot gun and instructed in its use. Within week thousands of repeating 'riot gun" more than 10000 automatic pistols and million rounds of ammu- nition were issued to mail collectors. messengers, chauffeurs. watChmen railway mail clerks throughout the country, and these men were given instructions to shoot to kill"
 We smiply have to go back to the old Wells Fargo days and shoot to kill and we are going to do it," said General" Hays in commenting upon the order. q have been astonished at the facts which l have discovered relative to mail robberies, with a known loss of $6.3O4.00O and with a known recovery of $3.OSO O0O."

office inspectors are expected soon to be crowned with success.
 The first of the murders occurred in the Jackson street branch of the post office at Dallas, Texas Five heayily-armed bandits entered the building late in the afternoon and forced their way into the registry room, shooting promiscuously at the male and female employees as they entered. One old and faithful clerk was shot and almost instantly killed and another was severely wounded. The bandits then seized several sacks of registered mail and escaped in waiting automobile. While speeding to escape pursuit, however, the machine turned over, killing one of the outlaws and seriously injuring another The remaining members of the gang escaped, but were cap tured a few days later.
 The second of the trio of murders occurred at Pittsburg. Pa, in Feb ruary of this year. J. K. Mccullough, d railway mail clerk of many years service, was at work in his mail car in the railway yards when the rob Der stealthily entered the car. crept up behind the clerk and fractured his skull with an iron bar The clerk had no chance whatever to de feud himself and never regained con sciOusness.
 The third murder also occurred in railway mail car, but the rob bery was perpetrated while the train was in motion. This attack. which was one of the most daring in the history of the pOstoffice department, also occurred in February. A lone bandit boarded Northern Pacific train at St Cloud. Minu introduced himself to the mail clerks as an em- ploye of the postoifice department and presented forged credentials. Without any apparent reason the bandit, who was a mere youth, shot one of the clerks and compelled an other to bind and gag the other oc- ,upants of the car. The robber then took the registered mail bags and left the train at the next stop Among his loot were some $500. 900 in Lib erty bonds. The young bandit re. mained at large only a few days, however being apprehended in a far western state by postoffice in. inspectors. The greater part of the | loot was recovered.
 HoLD-UP MEN ELUSIVE
 Postoffice inspectors divide the criminal attacks upon the mails and the postal service into two general classes burglaries and hold-ups. | The records of the department show that in the past burglaries have { been more frequent than hold.ups. | though with the present unusual situation due to the crime epidemic the two classes of offenses are now found with practically the same ire. quency.
 It is particularly against the class of young hold.up criminals that Post. master General Hays new policy is aimed, When it was question of matching skill agains skill. the post. officer inspectors were more than a match for the professional criminal.

MOSCOW, Idaho. July l4,-Idaho can produce it's own wood oils for the concentration of lead-zinc and copper ores by Notation process, rather than having 10 send to the south. to the Great Lakes or to the eastern states, says a bulletin just issued by the University of Idaho here. The Notation process is ex- tensively used in the concentra- tion of these ores in Idaho and other western states. It is estimated that there will be 100,0O0,0 ,0O0 cords of wood waste available in Idaho for ests for the manufacture of by-prod ucts.
 The report embodies the results of investigations made jointly by the school of forestry and the school of mines of the university, In co.opera. tion with the state bureau of mines and geology. The bulletin is the work of L w. Cook and Henry Schmitz of the school of forestry and Louis A. Grant of the state bureau of mines and geology.

RECORD CRIME YEAR

Many of the postal employees are ex-service men who have tested their skill in the use of firearms on the battlefieds of France. and they are eager to have a chance to meet the mail robbers half way. A number of these men are being used to in struct other employees of less expe- rience in the handling of weapons and it is expected that regular course of instruction such as is pro vided by many cities for their police men will be worked out,
 The postmaster general has the ut most confidence in the inspectors corps of the postoffice department, the regular organization for the ap- prehension of those guilty of crimes against the United States mails. He believes 1t to be one of the most efficient bodies of it's kind in the world He is convinced. however, that the present situation is an un- usual one which must be met with unusual methods.
 For eighteen months it has been apparent that a great crime wave is sweeping over the whole world and that the United States has been par ticularly subject to the epidemic. Experts appearing before congress- ional committees have testified that the year just passed was the great est crime year since 1897.
 BANDITS MOSTLY YOUNG
 This crime wave which has made itself felt all over the United States. and has hit banks, transportation companies, business establishments of all kinds, has been particularly strong in the west and middle west The attacks have been made by armed criminals upon both mail trains and postoffices. often by young and inexperienced men who were all the more dangerous because of their reCklessness
 These criminals have frequently op- erated in broad daylight, entering postoffices, holding up trains. and even robbing messengers between postoffices and railway stations. Dur ing the past two years the lives of many postal employees have been put in jeopardy by these reckless bandits, and In the past four months three postal employees have been killed in the performance of their Iuties DESPERATE YOUTHS DANGEROUS
 In two of these cases the perpe- trators of the crimes have been brought to justice. and in the third cs=s. the unairias ef1osus of the possai

CIT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAF
NESS AND HEAD NOISES

If YOU know of some one who 10
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand 1t to
them and you may have been the
means Of saving some poor suffer-
er perhaps from total deafness. In
England scientists for long time
past have recognized that catarrh
Is a constitutional disease and me-
ceSsarily requires constitutional
treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate
| air passages and force the disease
INTO the middle ear which fre-
/ quently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven
| down the air passages towards the
lungs which is equally as danger
Gus, The following formula which
IL used extensively In the damp
English climate Ia a constitutional
treatment and should prove espec-
cially elIicacious to sufferers here
who live under more favorable eli
mate conditions.
| Secure from your druggist l
! ounce of Parmint Double strength)
| Take this home and add to it ia
pint Of hot water and Il little grant,
lated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take one tablespoonful four times
q day. This will often bring quick
relief from distressing head noises.
Clogged nostrils should open, brea-
thing become easy and hearing inn
prove as the inflammation IN the
eustachan tubes is reduced. Par
mint used in this way acts directly
upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system and has a
tonic action that helps to obtain
the desired results. The prepare
ton is easy to make, costs little
and is pleasant to take. Every per-
son who has catarrh or head
noises or is hard of hearing should
give this treatment a trial. 1t
