PosToFFIcEs FOR EVERYBODY

The proposal of the postmaster general that postoffices
shall be built by the government in all cities and towns not
possessing postofoe buildings of their own has an appeal
not confined by any means to congressman with an appetite
for pork The people at home naturally want those fed
eral buildings, and are as little inclined to question the
means whereby they are obtained as are the congressman
themselves.
Such wholesale undertaking, however, is not likely to
go through at this time without mighty serious %considera-
ton. With an empty treasury, and the prospect of con-
tinued emptiness for some time to come, with federal in
come falling off and demands for money increasing, and
particularly with the insistent demand of Congress for an
army bonus, it is hard to see where the money could be OBJ
tanned for all this postofice construction. 1t may come in
time, and should come at the earliest time possible; but
everybody not directly concerned must recognize that the
time is not now.
Arguments of economy in immediate construction are
not wholly convincing, even if the money were available. 1t
is possible that $500, 600, 900 might be saved in 40 years.
as the advocates of the plan maintain, by relieving the gov
eminent of the high rents now paid for postal a~ccommoda-
tions-provided the government erected buildings that
were designed according to ordinary business standards, for
the actual work required of postofices. But as a rule, prac-
teal efficiency and economy are the last things considered
in federal construction. Every eligible community immedi-
ately would set up a clamor for a costly monumental edltice,
and Congress would be obliged to yield as usual.
While there is much to be said, too, for monumental
public buildings, this is hardly an opportune time to burden
Uncle Sam with the expense of several hundred OF them.

FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS

Safety instruction in the st. Louis schools has attained
o noint of high effectiveness. The reason for its success is
explained by the head of the safety department.. "One OF
the most effective methods of safety Instruction. says this
official. sis to teach children that they are responsible not
only for their own safety but for the safety OF other emil
dren." It is a natural step from this statement to his next
one. that prevention Of accidents is more a matter OF educa-
ton than of safety devices.
If adults would cooperate with the schools not only IN
the matter of safety instruction for children put IN .he op-
servance of safety measures themselves, traffic and other
accidents would practically disappear within a generation
Especiallv would this be tr"o if the adults would adopt the
platform of mutual responsibility to which the st, Louis
children are trained. -.
And when a little thought is given to the matter, 1t
annears that most of our disasters, material, economic and
otherwise, could be avoided if al. the children OF men would
learn that 'they are responsible not only for their own
safety, but for the safety of others" The pity OF IL is that
the grown-ups discount all the labors of the educators by
flouting the principle in so many relations of their lives.

@. Why does the state of New
York recognize a divorce obtained,
say, in Reno when the grounds tor
divorce in Nevada are so different
from the grounds in New York;
E. 4.
A. The Constitution Of the United
States imposes certain obligations
upon he states in their dealings with
each other. Section l Article ~,
providing that Full faith and credit
shall be given IN each state to the
public acts, records and judicial
proceedings Of every other state.
This clause has been held to mean
that, in civil cases, when the courts
of one state have given a judgment
such judgment will be recognized
and enforced by the courts of every
other state without a new trial. 1t
also means that contracts legally
entered into in one state are binding
and enforceable in another. In the
matter of divorce, by this clause a
state is required to recognize a d.
vorce granted. in any other state,
even though It may have been
granted for reasons for which the
laws of the first state would not
allow a divorce. The only restric-
ton which courts have upheld in
their Interpretation of this clause
CT the Constitution is that the state
granting the divorce shall have Ju-
risdiction over the parties-that is.
that the party should have a bora
fide residence within the state and
that proper notice of suit should be
given. Thus New York must rec
ognize Nevada divorces If it be
shown that the plaintiff had a legal
residence in Nevada and the Defend
ant had been legally notified Of tie
suit.
@. What American products are

A. The Department of Commerce

dominate among the commodities
wanted by foreign buyers.

PLAN TO PAVE

THIS SUMMER

CROWN POINT, Ind, March 2s.-
County Surveyor Ray Seely sub
mitted TO the board OF commission
ers yesterday the tentative plans
for the Columbia avenue pavement
in Hammond and the board indi-
Gated the surveyors plans were
satisfactory.
Seely recommended that the coun-
~ build a pavement thirty feet
wide from Gostlin street south to
the Michigan Cenral railroad com
posed of a six inch macadam base
and a three iich penetration top Of
granite aggregate. Continuing
from the Michigan Central track s
south TO Standard avenue EAST
Hammond) he recommended a fifty
foot pavement. the present pave
ment - be scarifed ana used as a
base for the penetration top OF
granite aggregate.
When told that il was reported
that Sam Skufaskiss. former Ham
mond councilman had said the i'm
provement would be knocked out
County Auditor Poland declared
that il Skufakiss carried out the
allie Eed threat the county WoulO let
the city pave the street.
Regarding the success OF con-
crete pavements in the county,
Surveyor Seely said that the best
example was the Turner road from
Summer street under the Indiana
Harbor hump" to East Chicago.
This road is success" said
Seely. Although the ground is not
favorable and the road is lined with
pools of water a great portion of
the year. the pavement is practical
ly as good as new. On the other
hand concrete pavement on the
Lake George road would not have
been a success. The Lake George
road Is resilient"
The Columbia avenue pavement is
to be built this summer

PROMOTION FOR
EDWARD H. ROHOE
Talented Young Man Now
Is Executive With the
United Chemical Co.

Strict attention to business and n
painstaking mastery of the details of
every department as he came in con-
tact with it brought a merited pro-
motion for Edward II. Rohde, OF
Hammond this week when he was
made superintendent Of the United
Chemical & Organic Products Co.
plant of West Hammond.
Mr.. Rohde succeeds r. r. Tenant
who resigned last week in order to
go into the gelatine manufacturing
business for himself
The PROMOTION follows an estab-
1ished policy of the firm of selecting
its executives from men who have
learned the. business thoroughly and
keeping them II possible in the plant
where they gain their experience 1t
was so with Mr. Tennant.
Mr. Rohde entered the employ o.
the L. {. & o. p. Co, FIVE yeaIs ago.
How we'll he applied himself may be
judged from the fact that he had
had no previous experience at such
work. but was considered sufficiently
trained at the end of three years to
be promoted TO assistant superin-
tendent
Mr. Rohde's selection is particui-
arly gratifying to the employees of
the plant because they feel he IS
wen fitted for the job. Furthermore
he is strictly Hammond produce
and that means much to them. He
is son of Postmaster John L.
Rohde. and is comparatively young
as plant superintendent 60 He is
well known in Hammond and while
in high school made a reputation as
