Work Saving Large.
Sums in Efficiency
in Postal Branches

Washington, May 30-Postmaster
General Work has begun thorough
reorganization of the postoffices of
the country as a result of the discov-
cry recently that more than quar-
ter million dollars was needlessly
spent each year in one of the larger
offices of the country.
An official of the office of the chief
postal inspector was detailed by DR..
Work when he was first assistant
postmaster general to make detailed
analysis of surplus help, material and
apparatus in the postoffice in ques-
ton. After four months reorganiz-
ing various departments it was found
it was said, that 100000 could be
saved each year in the maintenance of
the office. DR.. Work was so impress
ed that upon assuming the postmas-
ter generalship he detailed score or
more inspectors to various offices
with a view to curtailing expenses
wherever possible. Instructions were
issued, however, that nothing should
be done that would impair the eff
cheney or expeditions handling of the
mails. Complete reports, are expect
ed soon which will aid the postmaster
general to decide where retrench-
ment best may be made.
"First of ALL" the postmaster gen.
eral said today, "the postoffice must
serve the public well and faithfully,
and after this has been accomplished,
economy must be practiced, also in
the interest of the public. 1t is not
a difficult matter to put on additional
men from time to time, but it is quite
difficult at times to cut down force.
Careful Judgment should be exercised
always in the selection of just enough
help to meet demands so that the SER
vice will not become overcrowded with
what is known as surplus auxiliary
help"

Legion Decorates !.
Graves Of Buddies
in Foreign Lands
(By Associated PressD

Indianapolis, Ind, May 3O.-While
the home folks today are honoring
the soldier dead who rest in the soil
Of their country, the American Lee
gion overseas is visiting and decorat-
ing more than $4,000 graves of
Americans who fell and are buried on
foreign soil. Of these graves, 3d.
400 are located in five cemeteries in
France, 4S8 are in England, 14O in
Scotland, 4 DIN Ireland and one in
Spain.
Several thousands of dollars have
been sent to the legion's committee
in Paris, of which Cabot Ward, an
American attorney, is chairman, to
be expended on flowers and flags for
the decoration of E. A. F. graves.
Local committees in England, Scot
land and Ireland and several in
France will visit the cemeteries and
minister personally oeach grave. To
raise this decoration fund, National
Commander MacNider, of the legion,
asked each legionnaire to contribute
. cents and the response has been
generous, the organizations head
quarters here reports.
Many parents of American soldiers
killed and buried overseas have re-
quested decoration of the graves
with particular kinds of flowers or
with individual floral arrangements.
Most of them have requested the le-
gion to supply them with photo
graphs of the graves so decorated,
and the request is being complied
with. For the larger part, however,
the overseas graves will be decorated
alike, with the highest officer and
the newest private soldier being hon
ored by an American flag and deco
rations consisting of flowers native
to the country in which the grave is
located.

Anita Stewart at
Gran dTomorrow

4 story which is a favorite with
fiction authors and screen produc-
ers-a story certain in its appeal be-
cause Of the sympathy extended for
the heroine, is that which reveals the
girl with a past who is tormented in
soul and BODY before a confession
brings happiness 10 her future. "Har-
riet and tie Piper" was written by
one Of Americas best fiction authors,
Kathleen Norris, and it appeared
originally N the pages Of The Pic
torial Review. The picture comes to
the screen as an ideal vehicle for the
charming and talented Anita Stew
art. She plays Harriet, the girl who
loved unwisely and 100 we'll with eff
fective appeal. And when she leaves
the man who brought the shadows
into her life and eventually confesses
to the choice of her heart, the story
offers 8 mos: satisfying line of dra-
matte action.
Blondon bobs up again to torment
her, but, sure of herself and equally
sure that her husband will hold her
blameless, she absolves herself by
bearing her past. Thus forgiveness
brings supreme happiness. And the
shadows are completely eliminated.
The picture is artistically presented
and is capably acted by Miss Stewart
and a cast that includes such favo-
rite players as Ward Crane, Charles
Margaret Lands, Irving
and Myrtle Stedman.
Bertram Bracken directed. Harriet
and the Piper" will be shown at the
Grand tomorrow.
