Postmaster General Hays is un-
derstood to have recommended to
President Harding that the Will
son orders extending the protec
ton of civil service to the first,
second and third class postmas-
tiers be rescinded, but that the
postal service be protected from
the spoilsmen by requiring all ap
plicants for post masterships to
pass examinations before being
considered eligible for appoint

1t does not appear that the plan
is sound. If Mr.. Hayes is con

Shirley had not intended to come
here, but now that she had arrived,
IL occurred to her that it was here
she wanted to come. Parking her car
by the side of the road, she alighted
and proceeded up the old skid, now
newly planked and with the encroach-
ing fOrestration cut away so that the
daylight might enter from above. On
over the gentle divide she went and
down toward the amphitheater where
the primeval giants grew. And as
she approached it, the sound that is

its spell upon her; quickly, impercept-

memory Of that groyelling Thing she
had left behind in the mill-office, and
in its place there came subtle peace
a feeling Of awe, of wonder-such a
feeling, indeed, as must come to one
in the realization that man is distant
but God is near.
A cluster Of wild orchids pendent
from the great fungus-covered roots
Of a giant challenged her attention.
She gathered them. Farther on, In
spot where a shaft of sunlight fell,
she plucked an armful of golden Cal
lfornia peoples and flaming rhododen-
dren, and with her delicate burden
she came at length to the giant-guard-
ed clearing where the halo of sunlight
fell upon the grave Of Bryce Cardi-
Ean's mother. There were red roses
on it-a couple Of dozen, at least, and
these she rearranged in order to make
room for her own offering.

Eighteen feet should be the mini

travelled roads a greater width will
seem narrow In twenty years. In Eng
land and France the roads are paved
clear TO the fences or sides of the
highways, unless a curb and sidewalk
or bicycle path Is maintained between
the road and fence. Every foot is
kept In good condition. Good drainage
Is as mich "a part OF the European
highways AS Is the case with our city

We are at the beginning OF motor
transport. Unless we look ahead and
provide wider pavements, We will find
the highways crowded and our pos
sible relief from railway congestion
annulled. A few dollars saved now
In narrowing our paved highways will
prove a short sighted policy.
We have already seen the folly O.
constructing our canals too narrow
and locks too short. The great lakes

Ing the war had TO be cut in two and

WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
"WARY GRAHAM BONNER
- So.nLc.I mum. ..iz...as -. -

Vera always thought it was foolish
10 be afraid. She was not afraid Of
anything. She was not even afraid #
lightning. She was not even afraid
of being out In a thunder and light
ming storm.
Now her sister Dora was very
different. Dora was afraid Of q
number of things. She was afraid Of
lightning more than of anything else
Il think you're too fearless. Vera"
Dora would often say "YOu don't take
enough care. You'll be In an acct
dent some day"
And Vera would laugh and say, "Oh
Dora. what cheerful person you are :"
Very well. Dora would answer.
but II makes me nervous the way you
are. Why the other day In the city
you wouldn't hurry when that great
big automobile came rushing down the
avenue"
Il knew that they weren't going out
of their way to run me down." Vera
would always reply. you are con-
stantly speaking OF that too"
To tell the truth Dora worried a
good deal over Vera for she felt she
would always be so fearless that she
might not be on the lookout to avoid
being hurt.
Vera was rather proud Of herself.
She was different from Dora. She
was so different from many who were
afraid
1t was one day when Vera and Dora
were far out In the country walking
that horrible thunder and lightning
storm came up with a great and sudden
rush.
"Oh dear" said Dora, 'that thunder
Is so awful"
Thunder can't do any HARM" said
Vera.

and roars of thunder mean lightning
too, for thunder and lightning are
very nearly Inseparable friends. II

present and assist in selecting
the very best possible Board of
Directors and other officials.
Another matter of special inter-

will effect a big saving in the
supplies that the farmers have to
buy-a plan that has been tried

products below the cost of pro-
GIction the one hope for the farm
er seems to be in reduction of
the cost price of farm supplies.
Cooperative buying has already
resulted in many farmers saving
