NOMINATIONS OF 200
FOR POSTMASTERSHIPS
WILL Be RESUBMITTED
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON. Dec S-Since May
10 total of 1888 nominations for ap-
pointment as postmasters of first. sec
ond and third class postoffices have
been sent 10 the senate for confirma-
tion by President Harding When the
senate adjourned last month it had
not acted upon about 200 of these nom
nations, which will be resubmitted
during the present session of congress.
On March 4, when the present ad-
ministratiOn came into office it was
found that appointments of postmas-
teTs were overdue in 3.416 offices
Immediately after President Harding
issued the executive order of May TO-
establishing new regulations for the
selection of postmasters of offices of
the three highest Classifications. the
post office department began to put
forth every effort to cut down the
large list of pOstmastership vacancies
Despite the publicity which has been
given to the regulations prescribed by
the president for the appointment of
first, second and third class post
masters. letters in the office files of
all Indiana members of congress indi-
cate that many people are still of the
opinion that congressman have sole
authority in the selection of post
masters.
Enforcing Regulations
As matter of fact, the post office
/ department and the T. S. civil service
commission are strictly enforcing the
new regulations, which require. brief
/ ly stated, that all applicants for post
masterships submit to civil service
tests, whereupOn the commission certi-
/ fies to the post office department the
names of the three highest eigibIes
! for each office. The department then
/ extends to congressman the courtesy
of indicating which one of the three
/ eligibles for offices within their dis
tTicts shall be recommended to the
president for appointment.
/ Since May 10, the post office depart
ment reports, the civil service com
mission has reported of 2,999 exam
nations of applicants for postmaster
ships. There are now in the depart
ment approximately 500 cases ready
to be acted upon as soon as selection
can be determined.
A glance at some figures which
have been compiled dealing with the
operations of the postoffice depart
ment will convince anyone of the fac
that it is the largest distinctive bust
ness in the world.
There are now $4,000 employees o
that department and it serves 10000,
600 customers daily. 1t spends 5000,
100000 annually, and the annual turn
over of business is more than $4,000

DUBLIN. Dec S.-The agreement
with Great Britain for the establish
ment of the Irish Free State was tax
en- up for consideration by the cabinet
of the Dali Eireann at a specially
called meeting here today. A large
crowd enthusiastically greeted the
cabinet members on their arrival at
the Mansion house. After a compare
lively brief session the cabinet ad
journed for luncheon, planning another
session later in the day.
No statement was forthcoming as to
the proceedings, All members were
present, Arthur Griffith. Michael Col
lins, and the other plenipotentiaries
having arrived this morning by a mail
boat. They were gwen a cordial wei

yond saying he was glad to be back
in Ireland made no statement.
Talk OF a possible split in the Dali
cabinet members are predicted, among
them Cathal Drugha (Charles Bur
gess). minister of defense. Some OF
the leading members of the cabinet
are known to object to the form Of
the oath of allegiance laid down in
the treaty. Regardless of possible
differences. however, it is believed
the agreement viii be approved, in
principle at least.
Public is Indifferent
The public maintains the same
semblance of Indifference toward the
agreement noticeable when the news
was first received. The people seem
generally satisfied. but refrain from

Western Newspaper Union New. Service }

Washington, July 12.-The sugges-
tion of President Harding looking to
a disarmament conference at WASH
ington was expected by officials here
to meet ready response from the
powers concerned. Their attitude to-
ward such Il proposal, 1t was said,
was sounded In advance through
American embassies.
Tending to confirm this belief, In
the opinion of officials, was the state-
ment of Premier Lloyd George in the
House of Commons welcoming the
Initiative Of President Harding In the
matter.
1t is understood that the powers
were sounded also on the question of

CATION.
| LondOn.-PreHier Lloyd George, In
statement to the House of Commons,
gave full and fr,snk explanation of
the steps leading TO the proposed con-
ference for the discussion of arma-
ments. The first principle of the Brit
ish policy, he declared, was friendly
cooperation with the United States.
1--WE are convinced" said the pre-
mier, ''that upon this. more than any
single factor, depends the peace and
well being of the world"
The initiative of President Harding
with respect to an international con-
ference on the limitations of nrma-
ments had been received with the ut
most pleasure by Great Britain, said
Mr.. Lloyd George, and he added that
he spoke for the empire as whole.
| At the same time, Great Britain de-
sired to maintain close friendship and
cooperation with Japan, which har-
mOnied the influences of the two great
Asiatic powers and constituted an es-
sential safeguard to the well being of
the British empire and the peace Of
the East. The "Open door" in China
was another aim of the government,

Of Vision.

Very few people realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in n chair and fix your at
tentlon on some subject on the other
side Of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at time.
If, when you open your right eye, you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In
that cnse you will find your finger
very much to the right of the object
when you open your left eye.
If you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that Of the
two halves of your brain one Is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which Is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side
