Passes Up
Small Fortune.

Senlis, France Three humid
red yards from the monument
which marks the farthest south
ern advance of the German army
in France, in the woods near
here, Anatole DENNY, pension
ed railroad worker, stumbled up
on the body of a man, whose
right hand still held revolver.
DENNY lost no time in going
through the dead mans pockets
and appropriating $500 francs,
scorning national defense bonds
and other papers.
Noticing his exaggerated ex-
penditures and failing to obtain
any information from her hus-
band as to the hidden source of
his sudden wealth. Demuy's
wife reported him to the police.
He was arrested and upon threat
lof being charged with theft,
directed the police to the spot
where the body was found.
A gendarme opened a will
found among the papers. The
first article read:
81 am friendless and without
family. I leave all the money,
bonds and valuables found on
me to the person finding my
body, after deducting the ex-
|pense of modest funeral"
Denny had failed to read the
will. He will be arraigned on a
charge of theft.

letters with the 20,0OO,O0 fully
addressed letters. That means
that the fully addressed letters
must wait on the slow moving
poorly addressed letters just like
| the larger boys and girls are de-
layed by a bunch Of abad kids
| tagging along.
You boys and girls can help
the Postal Service and save your
father some money, because he
has to help pay the cost Of
searching addresses on letters
and parcels sent out by this one
careless and thoughtless family
| in every ten.
First find out if your family is
! the careless one, then bear in
mind that your letters must be
handled by skilled mail distribu-
tors standing in post offices and
on swaying postal cars Of a mile
a-minute mail trains, often und-
er poor light.
The address on every letter,
card, or package must be correct,
complete, and legible, including
the house number and name of
street, and the From address
should be in the upper left-hand
corner so that the mail will be
returned to you in case it is not
delivered. Do not abbreviate
names of States, because so
many look alike when abbreviat-
ed.
Put the proper amount of post
age on your letters and wrap the
parcels carefully. Avoid fancy
writing, which causes office
clerks and letter carriers to stop
and study, and thus lose time.
Make the address plain and east
ly read and always use pen and
ink or typewriter and light-color-
ed envelopes, so as to save the
eyes of the post-office clerks. Do
not use envelopes of unusual size.
The little ones that are so frequ-
emily used for cards and notes at
Christmas and other holiday
times cause an untold amount of
trouble and labor, as they will
not fit our canceling machines
and must therefore be Cancelled
by hand. Because Of their size
and tendency to slip out of a
package, these small envelopes
are more likely to be overlooked
or lost.
Mail your letters and packages
early in the day, because this
avoids overlooking and delaying
mail at the end of the day

MOST HOSPITALS SATISFACTORY

Surgeon General Cumming OF the
Public Health Service has testified
before the special Senate committee
that, although some contract hos
pitfalls for the care of disabled and
sick veterans have been found to be
very bad, that is not by any means
true of all of them. Contracts in
about 10 per cent of the cases have
been cancelled, according to General
Cumming. He reports that at pres

hospitals with total capacity Of
1882 beds, which will very soon be
increased by 5000 beds upon the
opening of three new hospitals.

PRAY GOD FOR DISARMAMENT AN EDITORIAL

On Nov. q, 1918, the German High
Sea Fleet sailed gloomily over to
English shores and surrendered. On
that day the supremacy of the Allan
tic Ocean as a naval sea ended.
In August, 1929 the powerful new
Pacific fleet of the American nation
sailed through the Panama Canal and
plunged into waters of the vast Pa
cific. On that day the Pacific Ocean
became the seat of the worlds naval
power.
The most ambitious effort o. two
centuries to oulld up a new rule OF
the seas failed when Germany hand
ed over her dreadnaughts. 1t is not
to be expected that another Europe
an power will again ever try supre-
macy in the Atlantic. There will
| not be enough at stake. But in the
west it is, different. The two shores
of the future with such tremendous
potentialities that, if this world is
to continue to be vexed by wars ano
rumors of war, at least three rationS
must of necessity make the waters Of

Either we must have disal mament
and the probable peace that goes with
disarmament, or we Americans must
make up our minds to ENORMOUS
EXPENDITURES OF TREASURE
AND HUMAN LIFE during the COM
ing decades 1t cannot go or as now
If the United States and Japan con-
tinue the present feyerish prepare
ton for war, it will be war.
Declaration Of war between Amer
lea and Japan will be the mere
touch of the match. We will never
give in, and no more will Japan. The
whole world will be dragged in
white man, brown man, yellow man,
black man. Anglo-Saxon, Monaghan,
Teuton, Slav, and Latin. And don't
forget the huge masses OF humanity
in Asia, masses that can loose mil.
lions in the human flesh every year
and balance their losses with the
. birth rate.

kindled, America is not afraid We
wills go to the end for our rights, oul

birthright and our honor.
But there is no need OF it. The
way out is President Harding's inter-
national conference. That confer
ence. can stop the mad rush to arms
if the people OF the world make it
everlastingly clear to the conferees
that THEY HAD BETTER NOT AID
JOURN until they find the route to
peace. !.
What can you do to back the Pres
ident of the United States at this
critical moment in the worlds his
tory?
What can you do to save your chill
dren and grandchildren from de-
struction?
At least you can lift your single
voice and you can urge your neigh
bors to lift their voices for peace SO
loudly that they will be heard.
The people Of every city, every
town, every hemlet, every country
side in America should gather in
meeting and pray for the success OF
the coming international conference

LIFE AND CANDLES.


In highly Imaginative pictures life
is sometimes represented in he form
Of a candle. And The lives Of people
are a good deal I've candles.
Candles burn IN very different
ways -and in the end the light goes
out from all. s,rle of them spatter
and make 4 greas fuss and are irreg.
ular in burning. They flicker and
flare and droop bidding fair some
times to give forth a worthy blaze
a blaze that will light the way. They
sputter and 6iaKer and die.
& Others burn with a strong, aaring
light that can be seen for great
distance but ao,,'t burn long. They
soon wear themselves out. Had they
expended their energy more carefully
they would have proved just as sue
cessful and would have lasted much
longer.
Then there is the best candle OF all
1t burns steadily, brightly, not too
high--but always steadily. II is
clear, clean light and il shows the
way constantly ito those who need
more light, 1t doesn't flickers d
splutter. Even when it has reached
the socket and nears the end it gives
the same steady light. &.
