A Human Department.

That staid and serious minded publication the
New York Times, is inclined to come as near sa-
tire as its nature permits the statement of
Postmaster General Hays that he purposes to
.hunznize- the Postal Department Yet this is
exactly what is needed. 1t needs an injection, of
human understanding
One of Mr.. Hayss finest characteristics is his
ability to put himself in the other fellows place,
to catch his point of view and to appreciate that
human nature does not become sanctifed by the
grace of authority. One element of his strength
is this insight into the nature the motives and the
seneiments of other men.
He has large force in the department while
the influence of his personality will reach to the
most remote crossroads postofhce- 1t is one of
the vital factors in every large organization that
the personality of its recognized head does SO
reach to every part of it. There is some sort OF
wave action which the least part to this CEN
trsl. moving. controlling force.
Mr. Hays realizes this when he says he intends
to -humanize" his organization. He will not shut
himself up and be apart from it He win make
himself its wireless. He will, as he always has,
given full play to those quick intuitions which are
the handspring of that loyalty which springs from
personal touch and personal understanding
The result will be service, service of the sort
which comes from a desire Of every man in the
Organization to give the best that is in him to his
job The postal service reaches out to every in
dvidual in the country. 1t goes to every home as
weif to every place of business 1t is essentially
human institution. 1t belongs to all the people
and Mr. Hays has struck the keynote of what is

EXHIBIT SHOWS MODERN
APPLICATION OF LENER.

The Division Of Mechanical Tech
noloRy Of the National Museum. Of
which &. w. Mittan is curator and
Barbara L. Bartlett is aid. is de-
veloping a series of exhibits Illus
trating all of the fundamental me-
chanicsl motions and their applica-
tion in doing work. Among the
FIRST of these is a double size model
of the accelerating type bar action
of a weIl-knpwn typewriter.
This mechanism consists NJ
short and a long lever hinged to-
Gether at their adjacent ends, the
front end of the short lever being
anchored to a f&ed point at the
front of the machine and the rear
end of the long lever operstively
connected to the bar carrying the
type. The point of fieNure is slight
ly below a horizontal line described
by the points Of anchorage, fieNure
and attachment 10 the type bar.
and as the key is depressed, that
is. as power is applied TO the feN-
ing connection, between its ends.
a pull is exerted on the type bar.
The whole mechanism illustrates a
modern use of the most ancient Of
mechanical forces. namely, the
lever.

SHOWS CRYSTALS THAT
ARE SOUND TRANsMITTERs.

Crystals that can take the place
of the usual electromagnetic tele-
phone transmitter and receiver, and
that can be used for phonograph
transmitters were shown and dem
onstrated by DIR. A. Mel. Nicolson.
research engineer of the Western
Electric Co. at the meeting Of the
Washington Academy Of SCIENCES
held last night at the Cosmos Club.
These crystals that have the prop
erty of transmitting and receiving
sound. or converting mechanical in
to electrical energy include those OF
quartz and Rochelle salt. DR.. Nicol-
son explained
Solids in the crystalline state
when subjected to stress become
electrically polarized," he said, in
telling that piezo-electric effect
which these crystals have is an
electro-elastic property.
Linked. closely with the electric
effect are the optical properties OF
the crystals. Quartz and Rochelle
salts are piezo-electrically active
on account Of their individual struc-
turaI asymmetry. which is the same
reason that they are OFFICIALLY ac-
tive he declared
The crystals are grown SO as 10 be
subjected to shearing stresses. he
explained. and this develops the
natural composite structure respon-
fible for the pieZo-electriC prop
critics.
1t is not improbable that other
crystals OF organic constitution, or
Of molecular asymmetry, may be
found whose piezo-electric activity
may exceed that OF Rochelle salt. %
DR.. NicoIson said. SO far very lit
tie is known about the electrical
and mechanical ordinations set up
in other crystals capable OF deVsI-
oping the composite structure de-
scribed in this paper"

APROPOs OF THE METRIC

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
From sunspots to tadpoles, as the
unquoted poet has It, what is so
conspicuously capricious or so in
finitely inconsistent as the human
intellect?
The thought is anything but
novel. considering mind in numbers
and contrasting one with another.
but its truth as illustrated by a
single mind and its self contrasts,

interesting letter on the metric and
other systems of measuring, on cur
rency, On counting beans and on
spelling and similarly connected
subjects, in yours of the 7th inst.

counts his admiring pupils by

as no college confers, and compre-
hensive love of detail which brought
him early into the simpliied spell

pears now, that his once SO open
mind has been closed for years In
at least some areas, and his once so
receptive brain partially ossified.
His leading argument seems to be
that the metric movement has no
merit because IL is not new. As a
lifelong inventor, he may feel Just
so. -
Then he says, mo metric law will

II II ldhlnS d very low view OF
the medical profession to suppose
that many doctors are going to
abuse the permission to prescribe
been and wine. There is differ
ence of opinion and practice among
physicians in regard to the cup. In
the wet era ale, porter, beer. wine
were variously prescribed by many
doctors and used innocuously by
many persons. Mr.. Wayne r
Wheeler assures US, on the con-
trary. that beer has no therape utic
value. 1t is simply booze and that
is all there is to it" Be il booze"
