POSTMAsTERs RETAIN PLACES
Those Whose Terms Have Not Expir-
ed to Hold Their Jobs

Announcing the policy of the Post
Office Department regarding postmas-
tership vacancies and appointments
under the Harding executive order of
last Tuesday, the First Assistant
Postmaster General says postmas-
tiers whose commissions have not
expired will not be disturbed so long
as they behave themselves and give
no cause for removal In all other
cases where commissions have ex-
pired or the Senate has failed to
confirm nominations sent in by the
previous administration the Postofice
Department holds that a vacancy ex-
lists to be filled by competitive exami-
nations. The statement of First As
sistant Postmaster General Work
means that Democratic postmasters
in Delaware and other States will not
be disturbed by the Republican adj
ministration pending the expiration of
their terms. Where there is a vacancy,
and where the Senate has failed to
confirm a Wilson nominee, the state
ment of the Postofice Department in
dicates a program to order competi-
tive examinations, conducted under
civil service rules. Senator l.. Heisler
Ball while in Wilmington on Saturday
stated that competitive examinations
will be held for postmasters, the ap-
pointments to be made from the three
highest on the list for each postofice.
There are fourteen postofices at pres
ent in Delaware awaiting the appoint
ment of postmasters for which exami-
nations will be held.

Reid in the new picture, marks her
first appearance with that Paramount
favorite. The picture is from story
by Ben Ames Williams, which was
published in the Saturday Evening
Post. Mr.. Reid plays the dual role of
a millionaire and a crook. They look
so much alike that the crook shang-
haies the millionaire and usurps his
place in social and business life. But
Mr.. Reid as the millionaire, stages a
comeback, beats up and exposes Mr..
Reid as the crook and everything ends
happily.
Repiete with the colorful atmos-
phere Of the old South is Donald
Crisp's production of "Held by the

TWO PORT GIBSON BOYS
MEET IN LONDON, ENG.

The world Is growing smaller every
day that is, people are getting closer
together; and Is not uncommon for a
person to find BY chance close friend
or an acquaintance in any part Of the
world.
A Port Gibson man once told the
writer that while in France a number
Of years ago he CHANGED to 90 out to
the races, There were hundreds Of
thousands Of people there that after
noon people from all parts Of the
world. Little did he dream Of meet
ing with any one whom he might know
or with whom there might be any
thing IN common until by accident he
tread upon the toe Of man. Involun-
tarily he exclaimed in English "Ex-
cuse me" To bis surprise the man
smiled and replied, "You speak En-
glish,,. II developed that the stranger
had himself at one time lived in Port
Gibson and clerked for the same firm
with which the relator was then en-
ployed,
A few days ago Allen Brown, a
former wen known Port Gibson boy
was walking along the streets Of Lon
don, which city Is now his home, ac-
companied by his wife. Imagine his
surprise when he met face to face
with another Port Gibson boy, Kelley
Currie, now a resident of Jackson,
who is touring Europe with his wife.
No doubt the two enjoyed the meeting
immensely, as they discussed the many
things they had il common when they
lived in the little American town near

EUROPE ANXIOUS
FOR DISARMAMENT
All but One Of the Nations Eagerly
Accepted Harding's Invitation FOR
a Disarmament Meeting.

Washington, July 12.-President
Harding's proposal for an internation-
al conference on disarmament and re-
lated subjects has been received with
SO many expressions of anproyal
abroad that officials here already arc
beginning to turn their thoughts Ia
details OF the meeting and Of its work.
Although the first definite accept
ance, that Of France, did not reach the
state Department until today, IL was
learned that all except one Of the
powers invited TO the conference had
given assurance Of cooperation with
the presidents PLAN Officials would
not disclose which nation had not re-
sponded, but press dispatches from
abroad have indicated the missing re-
ply was that Of Japan, and that it
soon would be forthcoming.
The expectation here is that nepo-
tlatlons will be completed by late fan
and Armistice Day, Nov. III. has been
suggested as a possible date for the
assembling Of the delegates here. This
feature Of the plan, il was explained.

specific subjects as disarmament ana

to time. IL highest administrator
