T~HREE.cENT

A return to Scent letter postage, in ali probability,
will be one of the governments plans to increase rev.
enues. The present postage rate is regarded as incon-
sequential by the senders of large quantities of first
class mail, and the mails are therefore burdened with
a large amount of matter that is without either value
or information to the recipient. An increase in post
age might be a double blessing-revenu to the gov
eminent and relief to the overburdened mails, enabling
the ~postoffice department to practice additional
economy, for increase in rates is figured to reduce the
amount of matter offered for mailing.
The essential points in handling mails are: quick
dispatch, rapid and safe transportation and prompt
delivery at destination. These ARE the thingsthe
people purchase from the government, and the cost
is not the matter of highest Importance.
Increase in cost of postage would be one form of
taxation that would be felt less by the people than
almost any form that has been suggested for revenue
building.

SHIPPING BOARD COMES TO LIFE.

News reports give assurance that the American
Shipping board is showing signs of life, which is good
news. Reports say: Aggressive measures have been
adopted by the shipping board to insure fair treat.

trading privileges in foreign ports. The boards policy
nations must give every proper opportunity to ships
which fly the Stars and Stripes or else run the risk
OF encountering the retalatory measures placed within
the prerogative of the board by the new American
shipping act"
Several months ago Winthrop L. Marvin, president
Of the American Steamship Owners Association, init
mated that retaliation might be resorted to against
British shipping combines, if they and their support
ers did not refrain from boycotting American lines.
hr. Marvin made the charge, which was never denied,
tnat British spinners and cotton manufacturers de-
cllned to accept cotton from Galveston unless it was
carried IN British ships and under British insurance.
Mr. Marvin declared that this action was 4 factor

the close of the fiscal year was s,17S, with an author
lied capital of 1875, 72O, 565 and total circulating
banknotes outstanding, S743,290,374. There were

OF the 100 banks closed during the year, % failed
and were placed in the hands, of receivers, 81 were
closed by voluntary liquidation, and Is were consol
idated with other banks. Three of the failed banks
were later restored to solvency. The net gain of active
national banks was SIS.
When viewed from the standpoint of their number
and Importance to the local communities they serve
the national banks of the country have in all respects
made a wonderful record. And at the same time

FOR VILLAGE AND WORLD.

Tolerance and good will are the stuff of good
relations" says the New York Commercial. "Firmness
to bear with nueighbor's vexing peculiarities and the
courage to accept his advancing fortunes in good part
are the qualities that make fo- peace in the village.
Each village, however, supplements such degree of
these qualities as it has by a gentlemen's agreement
not to carry shooting irons and by a police garrison.
international amicabiities, likewise, is conditioned
upon tolerance and good will.
Undoubtedly the villager misses his gun a dozen
times a day. He absorbs numerous provocations in
the course of a normal day which, in his Judgment.
would make suitable occasions for a shooting or bludp.

mostly, by reason of the fact that weapons

WHY SALES TAX WAITS.

1.-THE country is coming to a sales tax eventually,
believes the Philadelphia Inquirer, because it will
raise the maximum of revenue at a minimum of in
convenience and disturbance. But not now. Aid if we
were asked to explain why not now, our answer would
be that the reason undoubtedly is mainly political.
There is a feeling among party leaders that the tax
is not understood by the masses. And probably it is
not. Education will be required. But after all,
experience furnishes the best education. We dare
say that once a sales tax were tried, the country
would demand that it be amplified and made the
main source of revenue for the United States, Just as
is the case in Canada, would never feel the levy.

GIRLS REFUSE

AT WASHINGTON
Linen and Maid Service Taken
Array by Government, but
Fair Rebels Stick.

WASHINGTON. July 23-The Govern
ment today had a unique strike on its
hands. Public opinion is with the strik-
ers and there seems to be small posi-
bility of the Government winning out.
Twenty two fair war workers consti-
tute the angry mob" Of strikers. They
Indignantly refuse to be dispossessed Of
their quarters in one of the big Gov
eminent dOrmltOries and say they'll
fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer"
Governmental economy, which hit
Washington with the budget system, is
responsible for the order eyictins the
girls. The Government issued an order
that the fair workers move from their
quarters in one of the dormitories in
order that the building might be closed
in the interest Of economy.
Forty-two girls were affected, and
twenty moved. But the remainder have
dubbed themselves bitter -enders" and
are holding out. The rooms in which the
small band Of irreconcilables live have
been stripped to bare walls. All bed
linen, towels and maid service have been
withdrawn. But this didn't faze the

ing their heads, wondering z after all

the gang kidnaps Blossom, the wife OF

The story descends to plain melodrama
as Roda puts On a dress suit so he can
be an associate with Harry. After the
author has used every trick known to
melOdrama, Ycda rescues his wife from
Chinatown. OF course the laws gets busy
and takes Harry and Blanche into Gus
tOdy.
BLACK Roses" is so named because
Yoda is supposed to be the possessor Of
the secret for growing black roses. OF
course there really is no such flower as a
black rose. but these movie writer's stop
at nothing.
This movie must be considered only
a a melOdrama. 1t can not be taken Sc
riously. It's nothing more and nothing
less than a trick movie. The most iu-
possible things happen in 1t.
The tempo of the acting is pitched in
an impossible key because the actors
must do the impossible in this story.
There are many movie fans who enjoy
Sessue ad his wife Tsuru Aoki, who
plays the Blossom role. The cast is ade-

If you are fond Of movie crooks who

arrival Of the traveller and found that
the brothers had moved away and none OF
the neighbors knew where they had gone.
Nobody knew anything about the coming
of the sister.
However she found that one Of the
men had been employed in the kitchen
of a local hotel. She went to the hotel
and interviewed the cooks and their help
ers and finally found man who said
that he knew the brothers and that one
of them who had gone to Chicago to live
| was coming down the next day to stay
, over Sunday with him. He said that he
knew there was a sister for before the
war the boys had sent her money to
come over here but that they had never
heard from her since and had given her
up as dead.
MEETS SISTER
AFTER YEARS.
The aid told the friend to bring his
| guest to the station the next day and
that they would meet the sister when
| she arrived. When the brother came
, to the station he was wildly excited bur
he was doubtful of the truth Of the
/ story until it was all carefully explained
, to him. When the girl arrived, he did
/ not recognize her for he had not seen
! her since she was a little child. She ex

money so that she could come as soon
/ as conditions permitted.
Frequently foreigners come in who

they were to be married. The aid was
to meet the train with the bride elect
and personally conduct the marriage,
sending the marriage certificate TO the
authorities at Ellis Island. When she
noted the girls address she discovered
that there had been a mistake somewhere,
as there was no such street in the city.
However, she started in trailing he girl
and after speedy series of nvestiga-
tons located her and everything was in
readiness when the excited bridegroom
arrived.
YOUNG GIRLS
OFTEN STRANDED.
Young girls sometimes are stranded at
the station, having expected some one to
meet them here and pay their way on
to their destination and the friends have
not received their letters or are do
layed, not coming until the next day.
Without money enough to buy a meal
or to pay for nights lodging, the I'M
fortunate would be in a dsplorable con-
dition IL it were not for the ever-ready
helper who lodges and feeds her until
she finds her friends.
There are cases, too, Of girls who come
to get work without friends or money,
expecting to find something at hard, who
are befriended by this aid and kept I'M
der her watchful eye until placed.
1t is not only foreigners that need aid,
she says, for there are many, many
Americans that come for help. Invalids,
people sick and suffering, the old and
blind, all come under her eye. She IS
ready for any emergency, with wheeled
chairs, nurses, stretchers or even ambu-
lances or any other equipment that may
be needed

The story deals with life among the

A rich broker. Of Gotham. has daughter

Following the scene when the woman

Burnett tells of the sons forgery, and
Stuyvesant replies by stating he'll send

is condemned to die for the mU' der, and
the manner in which he is freed, present
one Of the most interesting themes that
has been shown on the Indianapolis
screen for some time.
There is not a character in the entire
production that falls short Of what is
expected Of him, and the photography is
perfect The story has not been exag

travel picture to the Sonth Sea Islands
are as equally entertaining.
The average movie patron has read
Ralph Connor's THE Sky Pilot" and its
theme is well known from coast to coast
Nearly every high school boy and girl
has read the book.
For those who forget, it is enough
to say that the story concerns a young
minister who is sent TO a ranch to make
church goers out of 4 bunch OF cowboys.
The pilot IS not a popular individual
when he fret lands In the West but
this minister is the real sort and in the
end the cowboys would fight to the last
man for him. They love him so much
that they build church for him.
The story IS a human yarn and there
is enough action between the covers or
this book to make several movies.
John Bowers Is cast as the sky pilot"
Others IN the cast are Colleen Moore
David Butler and others more or less
well known. King Vidor directed the
movie.
This bill remains on view all week up
to Saturday at the Circle.

BY MABEL WHEELER.

There is no place more cosmopolitan
than the Union Station. Down the long
fight Of stairs trail all kind and con-
ditions of human beings, rich and poor,
old and young Americans and foreigners
There is always touch of pathos
about the frightened eyed foreign folk
who come down the steps heitating1y,
fearful Of what lies before them with
Just a lingering longing for what they
have left behind. Two little Italian chill
dren came through the gates the other
day. so little and lonesome looking but
as they gazed around them with the air
Of stray kittens, a happy-loOking Deepen
dable woman stepped out and greeted the
little travellers by name, with sunny
smile that warmed the children's hearts
and chased away the fear in their eyes
She was the Travellers Aid representative
who looks after the folk who need look
ing after. She had received word from
the Travellers Aid at Ellis Island that
the children were coming on that train,
and she was watching fer them. They
had come all the way from Italy and
we're going TO their relatives here in the
city. They were taken to their new
home and placed in the hands of their
waiting relatives.
