 Thinking perhaps that you might be interested in what -s going to hap pen to Democratic Postmasters under the next administration, l have made some inquiries and find that there are now over 1900 Postmaster nominations awaiting action by the Senate, but ii is very evident that the Republican majority will not confirm any .nOmin. atiOns made by tiIe president during this session of Congress The Repub- lican leaders with whom l have talk ed expect Mr. Harding to revoke President Wilson's civil service order so that members of the victorious party can obtain all these positions after the fourth of March.

of soap-it was for the common peo- pie.
 How did you find Trotzky and Lenin?" l asked.
 -Trotzky and others who had lived in the United States seemed in as profound ignorance of true American conditions as were Lenin and others who had never seen the United States.
 Usually their first question was whether Eugene V. Debs was still in prison. Then they would/ask when America was going Red
 When told them the American wCrkmen were neither communists nor anarchists. but solid citizens and supporters of the republic, they wouldn't believe me.
 Trotzky's Pet Peeve
 'Trotzky has vast power and didn' t like it when l reminded him of the days of soapbox agitation in New York
 Neither Trotzky nor the others ex- pressed hate of Americans. It is like ly that the thing uppermost in their minds is that some day they might have to ask America for food, machin- cry and clothing.
 They hate Hungary and Poland
 The late John Reed had a singular power in Russia He was an intimate friend of Trotzky and Lenin and his request could save a mans life when all other appeals failed
 By order of the soviets, when Reed died a tremendous funeral was held and all the Moscow papers devoted the first page to his eulogy."

Their efforts land them into laugh able mess and upon being extrcated they decide that it is better to be happy than to be fashionable.

CLAYTON ANDREW.

Miss Bonnie Clayton was hostess at a delightful party this morning, the feature of which was the announce ment of the engagement and ap- preaching marriage of her sister, Miss Bennle Clayton to Rev. William Har- vey Andrew of Fort Worth, Tex.
 For the occasion the home was tastefully decorated with cut flowers. Upon arrival the guests were pre- sented with strips of muslin upon which various letters of the alphabet were stamped, needles and embroidery floss. When the letters had been em- broidered they were pinned upon a large square of muslin to numerals corresponding with those upon the back of the letters. When all were finished and pinned in place the names of Miss Clayton and Rev Andrew and the date of their approaching mar riage, July 26, stood out in bold re- lief upon their white back ground.
 After many exclamations of sur prise, and after congratulations had been extended the bride elect, the hostess served a dainty salad course. Miss Clayton was assisted in caring for her guests by her mother, Mrs. w. B. Clayton.

FILMS AMERICANIZE
 ENGLISH CHILDREN
(By the Associated Press,

London, June 20.- (By MaiD-Eng- fish children are rapidly becoming Americanized through seeing nothing but American moving picture is the contention of A. G. Granger, manager of an educational picture series who holds that film education ought to be part of every school curriculum
 Millions of children go to the pie lures regularly he said to an inter- viewer. In American films no oppor- tunity is lost to introduce the Ameri- can flag; American motors are shown and popularized; American ideas in dress, furniture, habits and customs are being continually put before the children, with result that they know more about Lincoln and the North and South wars than about Oliver Corm- well and Nelson.
 Where did the fashion for bobbed hair come from? From America, and by the film," he added.
 All English teachers are now in favor of introducing the film into the schools, MT Granger says.

CLARK IN CHARGE
 ASSA|LS LAWLFSS

De Witt, July I'm his charge to the Arkansas grand jury here Tues day, Judge George w. Clark of Con- way vigorously denounced the killing here of Deputy Marshal Tom Jones and the subsequent assassination of his father, City Marshal Tom Jones. He referred to the slayer of the elder Jones as "red-handed assassin,' y and requested the jury to "put forth every available effort to ferrot out the guilt of the party or parties re- sponsible for the death of this officer, in order that merited punishment might be meted out, and that punish ment commensurate with this crime should be dealt.'
 The court told the jury that, al- though Arkansas county is the oldest county in the state, no grand jury ever empaneled had a more impor- tant public duty to discharge than that confronting the present body. He declared that the eyes of the peo- pie of the entire state were centered upon the grand jury, and that l" the citizens are wondering if it would prove equal to the emergency now existing.' The court said that it was up to the grand jury to show the people of the state that a large majority of Arkansas county's citi- zens "are not in sympathy with such a dastardly, cruel and wicked mur- der"
 Moonshiners and bootleggers were condemned. Gamblers and other law breakers were scored. Judge Clark said that he expected to wage a con- tinuous war on gamblers, and hoped to remove them from the confines of the seventeenth circuit"
 There are II men in jail here await ing trial or investigation by the grand jury. They are charged with various offenses, including murder, robbery, assault, larceny, forgery and assault to kill. The civil docket is unusually large, and at least two weeks will be required to complete the two dockets, Judge Clark said.

HOLDS SCHOOLS MUST
 REDUCE ILLITERACY
tBy the Associated Press)

Des Moines, la, July 7.-Illiterates and foreigners of whatever ages must not be exempted from school attend ance if illiteracy is to be eliminated and Americanization advanced, J. M. Gwinn, superintendent of schools at New Orleans, La, said here today at a general session of the national edu- cation association.
 Continuous education of all up to approximately IS years DT- Gwinn held essential for citizenship training Ways and means must be estabIfshed for continuous survey showing those present in the community who are il- literates and foreign and not trained for citizenship" he said. "The city schools and the whole industrial, com- mercial and civic life of the communi- ty must cooperate to secure these ob- jectives.
 "The qualities of a good citizen must be made clear and all who have to do with making ideals, teachers, priests, clergymen, etc, should be required to come up to the standard and be good American citizens. Foreigners should not be permitted to teach un-American ideals, civic and governmental - whether in press, pulpit or school room. All needed kinds of schools and classes must be operated day and night and all the year round-full time and part time."
