can be materially improved through
the establishment Of better under
standing on the part Of the public
of some of the difficulties met with
by the carrier in the performance of
his duties. /
It is the desire Of the department
and its purpose, to provide adequate
and convenient service, so far as may
be possible, to all persons residing
in rural communities, but this end
can not be attained without the full
cooperation Of the patrons in the ef-
forts Of postmasters and carriers to
serve them promptly, regularly and
satisfactorily.
Whatever facilities the work Of the
carrier is of direct benefit to the pa
irons, for the greater the ease and
speed with which carrier may COW
er his route, the earlier and better
the service afforded.
So. patrons of rural delivery can
greatly help themselves by helping
the carrier, seeing to it that roads
are kept in good condition and
promptly opened after storms, by
keeping the approaches to their box
es clear, and by promptly and will.
lingly correcting any Irregularities
affecting their boxes when asked to
do so.
The main purpose Of the postal
Improvement Week" is to impress
patrons Of the mail service as to how
they may assist in expediting the de-
livery and dispatch Of their own mail.
Rural patrons can assist in this mat
ter by placing stamps on their let
tiers instead of placing hnstamped
mail in the boxes together with the
money for the purchase Of the re-
quired postage. This delays the car
rier and prevents the patrons from
receiving their mail as expeditiously
as they otherwise would. II neces-
sary, however, to place mohey in a
box, it should be put in q coin-hold-
ing receptacle or be properly wrap
ped SO as to be quickly taken from
the box by the carrier.

orders should not be left in the box.
es, but should be handed to the car
rier and a receipt obtained.

FEW WEAK SPOTS
FOUND in "PAN"
Good Evenings Entertainment
at Grand This Week,
Says Pepys.
BY PEPYS.

Pan is good. Just a good evenings
entertainment. Weak spots? Why,
yes, a few. But they're not glaring
and they don't drag along. About as
o as n feels. as does happen, that
so-and-so has about said or done or
sung enough, along comes something
good in the bill and the show "sits
pretty" again.
1.-THE Love Nest headliners. Pretty
bobbed-haired girls with good voices
and well executed dance steps save it.
Otherwise, it could just as we'll be
called "A Last Years Bird Nest" for
all there is in it. The comedian is
either no comedian or, all unknowingly,
dyspepsia had possessed the critic and
was warping his Judgment.
Britt Wood, appearing in The Boob
and His Harmonica" and Mile. Rhea
assisted by Jos. Mack, Jr. and com
pany, were the best acts on the bill.
Wood gets more s~yncopation and varie-
gated strains out of his ordinary mouth
organ than many whole orchestras with
all their saving and blowing. His lip'
surround the tiny instrument and ii
pours out harmony in a way that does
make the feet nervous.
In the Mile. Rhea act, the work OF
Joseph Mack, Jr., in violin and piano
numbers is outstanding. As he played
his first violin number, Souvenir
there were two distinctly audible
whispers within range of the critics
ears that this was the same number
which Mack had broadcasted last Wed
nesday night through KDYS. The Tri-
bune ~broadcasting station. They were
right. 1t was. The settings for this
| act were artistic.
Cole Johnson has an act which be
| calls "Folleries of 1922" in which he
rolls his sleeves-yes. his sleeves
and displays his best prestidigitator
wares with a lightning accompaniment
of clever lines. His magic makes nc
~pretension, but his act is a rafting

the bill with some amazing acrobatic
turns which have much more Of the
unusual and posses more merit thar
the performance of the average vaude.

BELONG TO HIGHEST BIDDER
Girls on veIla Lavella, in the South
Seas, Have No Say as to
Marriage.

No clergyman ties the knot; no Lo-
Lavella marriage ceremony. The lit
tie brlde-tO-be, the most attractive and
talented actress | could find for the
role on Vella Lavella, is standing in
the doorway of her fathers house, as
she would stand II she were actually
being married, Edward A. Salisbury
writes in Asia Magazine. The hus-
band is selected according to the num-
Der of pigs and the amount of shell
money he can pay for the girl; she
goes to the highest bidder without hav-
ing word to say In the matter. The
father, by touching the presents, sig
nif1es that he has accepted them. The
marriage ceremony is then over. The
one missionary on the island has nat
urally opposed this practice OF selling
brides. The natives were quick to
learn this, and flocked to the mission
station to marry the mission girls, be-
cause they did not have to pay for
them. But the fathers of these girls
created lively disturbance because
they felt that they were being cheat
ed out of the customary presents.
Finally the missionary was forced to
compromise. He permitted the father
to receive presents. provided the
daughter was married in church. Then
he would tell the groom that he was
now a mission man and must live at
the mission and work at gathering
copra.
But the rebelllous husband often
took his bride back to his village.
