THIS MAKES Mr.. HAYS HAPPY
His Policy % HumanIzing the Post
a. office Department Results In Saw
# ING Woman's Life.

Observation-Disclosures VIII III.
Hays probably Is the happiest man in
Washington today. His slogan
"Humanize the Postofice Department"
has been carried out to what appears
to be the limit. Here is the story:
In a little Nebraska farmhouse a
woman lay dying for lack Of medical
attention. The nearest physician was
DIR. Selby at North Platte. True, North
Platte was only two. miles away, but
between the dying woman and the
physician was the South Platte river,
flooded to a raging torrent that had
swept away every bridge near and
far. .@
DR.. Selby had telephoned to every
town within a radius of twenty miles.
At each turn 1t was the same dis
heartening story-bridges gone and
no way of fording the turbulent
waters.
Just when all hope seemed gone,
DR.. Selby remembered something.
Somewhere he had read that the post.
master general was "humanizing' the
postofice department. He rushed to
the telephone and asked G. A. Sluder,
manager of the air mail field at North
Platte, to take him across the river in
an airplane. Wy
Sorry" said Sluder, "but I couldn't
without getting authority from Wash
fngton first"
"But the woman Is dying" the ply
stefan urged.
I'm that case," replied Sluder, 1--WE
will take you first and get the author
ity afterward."
So 1t was that the life Of a woman
in an humble Nebraska farmhouse
was saved just because the ~postofice
department has been humanized. And
so it is that Postmaster General Hays
is probably the happiest man in Wash
ington. :

Undersecretary OF State Paisant,
discussing the, question with Ameri-

He has invited American visitors to
join In q protest which will be pub

will take up personally individual
cases Of e~xtortion brought to his at

The most frequent causes Of COM

the Americans he had decided to ask

papers. This remedy would not, how
ever, AFFECT apartments, which are the
subject Of proiteering on a scale
hitherto unknown.
There are very few ~unfurnished

real estate agencies; as fast as

formed into furnished apartments and
either let at rentals Of from 300 to
