The gold star parents feel that
there are many things which only
they can feel which bring them
close together" says Mr.. Scannell.
Their joys, their sorrows and their
griefs make them kindred in a com

The sacrifice their boys made on
the altar OF freedom of this nation
brings them in closer touch and
unites them in bond inseparable.
a bond which adds another star to

the love for those who died to pre-
serve and save it.
Why then would it not be fit

This gold star could be placed
upon the flag at such place as would
give it most beauty and would be an
emblem and token of love and af-
lection, expressed by all the people
Of the nation for all who died in the
service of the nation in all wars.
The American Legion is doing a
great and a wonderful work for the

S7.25 per cent. OF the total cases
taken up.
The actual number or cases decid-
ed in favor OF the management by
the reviewing committees totalled
as or less than one per cent. AS a
matter OF fact, however, the cases
withdrawn by the representatives
OF the employees. 2,314. may be re-
garded as cases resulting favorably

FEED WISCONSIN BIRDS.

APPLETON, Wis. lUnlted Press
Birch trees in large numbers are
being felled in northern Wisconsin
by Fish and Game Protective Asso-
Citations in an effort to provide feed
for starving birds. AS the result OF
the recent sleet and snow storm, the
birds have been unable to scratch
through the hard crust OF snow to
get food and as the result many OF
them have starved to death Con-
siderable relief was given the birds
by cutting down birch trees and
knocking the ice Off the branches 50

Carriers Association)

great faithfulness and devotion to
the service and are worthy Of con-
siderable praise. Some carriers man
aged to maintain delivery service
over their routes during the several
days following the heavy snow
storm. One carrier walked over the
entire 25 miles OF his route twice
within two days rather than to dis
appoint the persons served on his
route when the melting of the
snow covered highways made travel
by vehicle impracticable. Others
abandoned their vehicles and walk
ed FIVE and ten miles rather than 10
disappoint their patrons. In my
opinion, no branch of the service has
more sympathetic. courageous and
loyal men and women devoted to
their duties in the promotion of the
postal service than the rural car
rier.
"Dr. Hubert Work has succeeded
the Hon Will Fl. Hays as Postmas-
ter General. DR.. Work is SYM
pathetic, liberal. progressive, con-
structive; greatly interested in the
postal service and will carry forward
the plans and policies OF the former
Postmaster General. My hope and
trust is. and have no reason 10 be-
lieve otherwise, that every rural car
rer will give the same hearty sup
port and loyalty to our new POST
master General, DR.. Hubert Work.
as was so generously given to former
Postmaster General Hays.
Mr.. Billany never sidesteps an op-
portunity to meet rural carriers who
visit Washington and seek him out
for a personal word.
During the last week." Mr. Bill
lany said, 81 have had the pleasure
Of visits from more than half
dozen carriers. Two OF them were
from New York, one from western
Pennsylvania. one from North Car
olina and one each from Maryland
and Virginia. l get great deal OF
pleasure out OF the occasional con-
tact with the rural carriers and
want them to know that the open
door policy is always in vogue in
my office"
Speaking about the penny abuse
Mr. Billany lamented the fact thai
so many OF the patrons OF the rural
service thoughtlessly fail to keep
1 themselves stocked with postage
stamps and said that he believed the
individual carriers could educate the
patrons Of their routes II they would
| take time to have a chat with them
and explain just how their service to
hem is impaired through the delay
involved by having to stop and play
"hide and seek" with a number OF
pennies IN the box.
