Marines and the Mails

Postmaster Hays says the mails are to be
delivered without molestation by bandits even if
it requires an armed escort. More than 1000
marines will be ordered to main distribution
points and will accompany the mail trains.
He is using the only method that will eff
fectively break up the robbing of mail trains.
Force to the limit will prove to the bandits that
mails in transit must not be tempered with.
The marines will be replaced by a permanent
armed guard, organized as a branch of the postal
service. THE mails may be late, but they are
not going to be lost" said Mr.. Hays. "The mails
are going to be protected down to the last postal
card, regardless of the cost of the service
The Illinois robbery few days ago shows
that mail bandits come prepared for all emer-
gencies. This band carried everything from
sawed-off shotguns to dynamite and bombs. A
show of force, such as this one was, can be
counteracted only by preparedness on the part of
the postal department Mail robbers must be
treated rough" The marines are admirably
trained for this kind of work. If the postal de-
partment recruits it's guards from former mar
ines and other service men, it will obtain a set
of men who will be match for any band of rob-
bers.

Observing Armistice Day

The whole country will pause il its accus-
toned pursuits Friday to observe the ending OF
the most fearful war in history.
This year Armistice day will be doubly sig
nificant, for not only will it commemorate the
defeat of the Germans on land, on water, and IN
the air. but it will also be followed by momen-
tous conference in Washington whose sole pur-
pose is the limitation of ornaments and the re-
moval of causes of war
If the victory in 1918 was made possible by
the support given to the allied government by
American troops, the notable conference IN
Washington also is the result of American mi
tiative and enterprise.
What the Versailles treaty failed to do Presi-
dent Harding is seeking to accomplish through
a conference of the leading powers which he has
invited to discuss specific principles that even
tually. it is hoped, will lead to better under
standing among nations.
The sacrifice of the American soldiers, from
the very first day they entered their first real
engagement until the Hohenzollen dynasty
pleaded for cessation of hostilites, eXemplifies
the ideals and principles of America.
When the nation pays tribute with solemn
ceremony, and in the presence of the greatest
soldiers of the age, to the unknown American
fighter in the National cemetery at Arlington
tomorrow, many will recall the beautiful senti-
ment spoken by Abraham Lincoln and voice the
hope he expressed at Gettysburg in November
1868:
That from these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of their devotion
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain-that this nation under
God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and
that government of the people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish from the earth"

sackful of something which he plank

He took a two-penny ticket, and at
the termination of his journey he was

"Oh, Mr. Conductor" he pleaded,
"let me go a Ieedle farther. l am

The good natured conductor con-

No. 1O-Turn Glass of Water Upside
down

A clever little joke is to turn a glass
of water upside down on a glass or
stone table, or even wooden table,
provided it is not polished mahogany.
Simply place piece of paper over
the mouth of the lumber and invert the
same. The water will not fall out,
due to q physical law. Then set the
glass. upside down. on the table. and
slide it clear OF the paper. If this is
done neatly, not 4 drop will be spilled.
Put the paper away and call your
friends TO observe the phenomenon. II
is interesting to hear them speculate
on how it was accomplished.
