Postmaster Sharp
Advises Saving

One Of the most satisfactory
methods Of saving money, and one
that possesses every element OF
safety, is an investment in Treasury
Savings Securities that are sold At
the postoffiee.
The Treasury Savings Securities
are issued in denominations of %
cents, $l.O0, $500, $500, 500 and
ISL eco, They bear interest at the
rate Of four per cent per annum,
compounded semi-annuaIly.
The American Federation Of Labor,
one Of the strongest organizations in
the world, heartily endorsed the
Treasury Savings Securities in the
following language:
Resolution No. 96-By Delegate
Peter j. Brady, Central Trades and
Labor Council, New York City:
Whereas at least $5OO0OO,OO0,
equal to nearly IS for each man,
woman, and child in the United
States, was literally swindled from
the public last year according to the
best authorities by the sale of fraud
ulent and worthless stocks and sec
urties; and
Whereas the men and women in in
dustry have neither the time, know
ledge, ror experience to make com
plete and thorough investigation and
examination of stocks and securities
that are offered to them in ATTRACTIVE
ways to induce the investing Of their
small sums and savings accumulated
through sacrifice, strictest economy
and thrift; ard
Whereas the savings securities is
sued by the United States Govern
|ment, through chic Treasury Depart
|ment. in denominations Of 25 cents
Isl, IS, $25, 500, and $1,000, provide
he means whereby the small inves
tor and saver will have a safe and
convenient Investment increasing in
value each month, returning a salts
factory rate Of interest and free from
speculative fluctuations: Therefore
be it
Resolved, That the American Fed
Grafton of Labor call upon the United
States Government, through the
Treasury Department, to adopt every
necessary means for protecting small
investors by calling their attention to
the fraudulent and fake stocks and
securities and to adopt every possible
method to rid the country and the
people of these fraudulent schemers:
And be it further
Resolved, That the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in convention as.
sambled at Denver, Colo, June, 1921,
strongly urge the United States Gov
eminent, through the Treasury De
partment, to continue the issuance Of
Treasury savings securities and to
adopt every means to call to the at

DISARMAMENT;
WHAT 1T MEANS
Twenty-FOur Points On Great
International Conference
That Meets This Week.

Inasmuch as the Disarmament Con-
ference is to meet this week in the
capital city Of our nation, it is not at
all out Of place to give at this time
a few of the reasons for the important
meeting;
Reduced to its simplest form, the
main idea behind the conference for
the limitation of armament is to head
off a war in the Pacific.
Right along with this, and equally
important, is the. desire to put an end
to the race between rival navies of
the world for first place.
3.
The original suggestion was to hold
disarmament conference, but it was
soon realized that to propose even a
reduction Of armament without first
removing the principal causes Of fric
tion between the powers would prove
a mere waste OF time.
4.
So the idea Of a Pacific confer.
e1ce" was born the Pacific and par
ticularly the Far East being the
recognize new war-breeding regioT
of the world.
5.
The Far East is the new trouble
center because Asia offers stupendous

my body would have bcea sleeping in its

should have never con- 10 my greatest
happiness.
Suddenly my attention was attracted te
another window than that on which
3 had fixed my gaze. This other window
appertam cd to the apartments Of the
Kings sister, Queen Marguer ite, and
what caused me to transfer my attention
to 1t was the noise of its being opened.
Then head Was thrust out OF it. -the
small and graceful head of Marguerite
herself. She looked down at the moat
beneath, and in either direction, and
shadow; then she drew her head IN.
Immediately a rope was let down into
tho moat, whose dry bed was about five
times a tall mans length below the win
dow, which was on the second story.
Out of the window came man of rather
squat figure, who let himself boldly and
easily down the rope AS soon as he had
reached the bed of the moat, he was fol-
lowed out of the window and down the
rope by second man, who came bung-
hngly, as II In great trepidatlon. This
person. in his haste, let go the rope before
he was quite down, but landed on his
feet. Then a third figure came out from
the chamber and down the cable, where
upon Maruuerite' head again appeared
IN the opening, and could see the heads
OF two waiting-women behind her. But

These now clambered up the side OF the
moat, and the one who had been hrst
down turned and waved her silent
adieu, which she returned with grace
full gesture of her partly bare arm. The
three men then rapidly plunged into one
of the abutting streets and were gone.
All this time stood inactive and un-

Marguerite remained at the window
to cast another look around. Suddenly
from out the darkness at the base of the
Louvre, as if risen from the very earth
at the bottom of the moat, sprang the
figure ofsa man, who started toward the
guard-house as If his life depended on his
speed. Marguerite drew her head IN at
once with movement of great alarm. An
instant later the rope was drawn up and
the window closed.
Two conlectures came INTO my head,
one after the other, each in fash. The
one was that Marguerite had avalled
herself of the fraternal quarrel that oc-
cripied the Kings attention to plan an
escape to her husband, King Henri OF
Navarro, and that these three men had
gone from consultation In her apart
ments to further the project. The other
conjecture was that they were but some

WHY?
Why is Coward Called '.Poltroon ?
COPYRIGHT. 1870 by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

At the time of the drafts during the
CIVIL War and the World War there
were few men who attempted to avoid
compulsory military service by cutting
off their trigger, or first-hnger, thinking
that this would prevent their being
mustered into the army. On no less an
authority than that of Archbishop
Trench, deep student OF English, we
find that a similar practise was response
bic for the introduction into the Ian
guage of the word "poltroon" as syno-
nym for arrant cowardice
In olden times, states the Arch
bishop, "a self-muiilation OF this kind
was not infrequent on the part of some
cowardly, shirkiDg fellow who wished
10 escape his share in the defense of his
country. He would cut off his right |
thumb, become incapable of drawing a |
bow and thus useless for the wars 1t |
was not to be wondered al that English
men should have looked with extreme /
dlsdain upon one who had so basely /
exempted himself from service nor that /
the Latin phrase police truncus- one
deprived OF his thumb, later shortened i
to the two-syllabled .poltroon should /
