WILSON & COLBY DOING BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, Aug ,27.-The law firm of Wilson & Colby is in active operation.
 Ex-President Woodrow Wilson, sen for partner, will spend an hour hence forth at 1915 F street Former Secre- tary of State Bainbridge Colby can be found "in" at almost any time.
 The Wilson-Colby offices are on the sixth floor of one of Washingtons oldest office buildings in the heart of the capitals business district.
 Leaving the elevator visitor sees two glass doors, lettered in black characters: Wilson & Colby, Attor- neys and Counsellors at Law"
 He passes through the doors and finds himself in a reception hall of the age before efficiency experts be- gan to make every square inch of floor space count.
 Along one side of the reception hall runs au upholstered settee for wait ing clients. A bright copper urn is there, too, to receive callers sticks and umbrellas.
 From the reception hall the visitor passes into an inner office where a

clerk is busily typewriting legal forms. At the right and left of this inner office are two very substantial heavily paneled doors with copper knobs. tf -E,..
 The door at the right leads to Will sons private office. The visitor en- ters. The office is roomy, the ceiling high. The walls are white and un- papered. There are no pictures or maps.
 A simple carpet of dark color GOV CTS the floor. Two low-set windows look out over a sea of roofs. Subur- ban woods and the Potomac river can be seen in the distance
 MT. Wilson will come to his office as often as any other lawyer of dis tinction," said Bainbr:dge Colby, his partner. That means that he'll do most of his research at home but will come here when he meets clients or transacts actual law business"
 Will you specialize in internation- al law"
 That's what everyone says, but we haven't made any announcement of that kind. We're just q couple of or dinary lawyers, that's all,"

Placed all street mail boxes in an exact line to speed collections.
 Shot carriers to the start of their routes in automobiles
 Established the postoffice's own garages, thus saving money
 Invented new machinery to facili- tate handling of mail.
 Started 20-minute collection service in the afternoon in the business dis trict.
 Induced railroads to rearragne schedules, speeding up mail four to six hours tb
 And that isn't all of it. Purdy fig ured that special parcel post service to Lake Minnetonka, the summer re- sort 15 miles from the city, would pay dividends in cash as well as comfort. Answer: Ten trucks carry all kinds of supplies from the city to the re- sort. Returning, they bring produce from the country to city consumers.
 More than that, just to overlook no opportunity for service, Purdy in structed the parcel post men to weigh babies for any mothers at whose homes they stopped. So all the babies along the routes can be weighed reg ularly and their mothers know defin- ltely whether they are gaining or losing.
 Purdys latest innovation was to iIl- stall photograph music for the night force
 They'll not only work faster, but they'll be happier" he said. From midnight to morning are dismal hours; music;-wAl cheer tue boys up bit" iS1' '

BEST POSTMASTER IN AMERICA IS GIVING BILL HAYS
 

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-Meet the best postmaster in America-E. A. Purdy.
 He's a Democrat-plugged hard forG rewarded with the postmastership in 1914. He has done such good job of it that not only is Postmaster Gen eral Will Hays going to retain him, if possible. but Hays has taken him to Washington to give the department pointers on how postoffices should be run. 7..
 "A postoffice ought to be more than a place to buy postage stamp or call for letter." said Purdy, the day he took office
 And he started out to make it so.
 How He Did 1t
 How? Well, for one thing, he put a quietus on a general movement in !, the direction of still higher rents in Minneapolis. The rent hogs Were clamoring for more; their wolf cry was housing shortage"
 P. M. Purdy just had the mail car riers count the empty houses and flats. They did. it in two days-and found 1900. The housing shortage was a myth. Did rents go up? No. People found it cheaper to move than to pay higher rent.
 Any postmaster with the right pub lie spirit and an equal amount of pep can do as much for the rent-ridden tenants of his bailiwick.
 Purdy has done a lot of other pro- gressiye things to the rusty old post office machine. Among them he:
 Established an information bureau in the postoffice
 Organized a postal employees band.

 Crashed Nose Down
 Up to today, it had been impossi- bic to identify the masses of twisted girders as belonging to any particular section of the ship, except the arched girders of the tail, which projected undamaged above the other wreckage showing that the ship crashed per pendicularly into the river. It was from the tail of the dirigible that the only survivors escaped.
 It is reported by the salvagers that they have located but two. of the six gondolas. This leads to the belief that the explosion blew the center gondola to pieces and threw the oth- CTS away from the ship and that the remains of them may be found by dredging the vicinity of the wreck.
 An official announcement by the river and harbor authorities this morning said that the wreck is 4SS feet from shore and on shoal, which at low tide, is covered by only two feet of water This leans proof to the theory that the gondolas were destroyed; otherwise they could be seen at low tide.
