UNCLE SAM'S DEVIL D0CS'
 GUARD MAILS

NEW YORK, March. 1.-Robbing the mail is now listed as "a most hazardous occupation" by knowing crooks. In fact, they consider it tantamount to suicide. And there's a reason.
 The Marines are now riding the mail" Veterans of the World war and numberless skimmishes with sav- age guerrilas and semi-savage ban dits have been called in to protest the precious loads of registered mail that daily and nightely are transport ed through the streets of New York, Marines, armed with automatic pistols and pump shotguns. sit by the driv- CTS of the mail trucks as they speed from station to station. Marines stand guard at the platforms where the mail is loaded and unloaded Marines ride in the mail cars between cities, assuring the public of the pro- lection to the mails. He would be a foolhardy bandit who would try to- "put one over" on the Leather necks" of the sea service. These Marines are the self-same chaps who stopped the German onslaught in Belleau Woods, tore holes in the Hun line in the famous offensive at Siossons and led the van clear into Germany They have seen active service in Haiti, Mexico, the Philip pines, and, like all Marines, they are handy with fire arms.
 The Marines now guarding the mail are the heirs to fighting tradition 146 years old. And they can fight mail robbers just as we'll as they fought Germans. One look at the armed man riding beside the chauffeur of the mail truck is enough to take the ambition out of the would bandit.
 The task to which the Marines have come in New York is hard one Many of the mail platforms which they must guard in the down. town section are practically in the street with passersby mingling with postal employees. It is at these points that the most valuable mail-that from he local Federal Reserve Bank and the banking houses of Wall street is handled And after z o'clock at night, when the downtown dis trct is deserted the mail trucks travel through lonely streets that are just what Postmaster-Ge Hays called them-"gulches that seem on- ly as the gulches of the Rockies"
 In just such a lonely "gulch," Leon- ard street, just off Broadway, occurred the famous "million-dollar holdup"
 that brought MT. Hays to New York for an investigation that resulted in tho suspension of three high officials of the local post office. This holdup was the first of series of sensation | ol attacks on tho mail that cu}minat- ed in the Paxton, H.. holdup in which a porter was shot deal and a
 mall car burned. It became evident then that heroic measures were reeded to make the malls safe, and
 the Marines were called upon. And now tho postal officials in
 charge of tho shipment of the mall
 sleep again. For the Marines have
 reported "and have the situation in
 hand"

NEW YORK, March, 1.--Will our new romantic styles in clothes bring back an era of romance? Will the revival of hoopskirts, lace scarves, tiny fanc and garlanded cultures cause to live again the deli cate creatures who tainted as easily and as gracefully as they flirted And do their garments really affect the characters of women? Sudden changes in demeanor are seen in the drab little girl who sud denly gets a new dress. She is trans formed. So Is the middle-aged hith- er-to uncared for woman whose hus- band may unexpectedly gain wealth. Her new raiment makes a new wom- an out of her oftentimes.
 Miss Ethel Traphagen, expert on dress design, confirms the legend that clothes make the man or woman. At her studio on Popular sstreet, Brooklyn, she displayed number of drawings of styles of the past and told me some of her own theories on dress.
 MISS TRAPHAGEN's CONCLUSION
 Undoubtedly wearing clothes hark- ing back to times of romance will make women take on the character istics of those periods" Miss Trap hagen says.
 Of course, you know one of my beliefs is that we go through one in- when we long for the trappings of some one era we are going back to those days through which we passed and which we loved.
 "In certain mood a woman puts on a garment to express that feeling. Again, when she puts on the dress of a bygone century she assumes there- by the qualities or vagaries of the time.
 'In the different stages of devel- opment in our lives we are subject to different moods in which we re- vert to former experiences. If a woman puts on Moyen Age costume she Is apt to feel as the women of those Middle Ages did.
 "The fact of woman taking to the bouffant skirts and rosebud garland ed cultures shows positive learn ing back to the days of romance. In the thirties and in the sixties there was romantic spirit, but there was also hypocrisy. Those cirmoline girls looked very sweet and demure, but they were not always so ingenouos as we think them.

CUSTOMS
 Even when these styles are brought out now there is always a little flippancy added to them"
 But where, oh, where, in our highly condensed conditions of life is there room for the dear creatures to wear their hoops and succumb to the "vapours" at the slightest provocation? At least girls who swoon easily might be preferable to those ultra moderns some of our readers score so savagely, those who spoon too easily and those whose only "va- pours" are the thin stream of cloud that arise from the amber cigarette insulators.

 The ridiculous stuffed leg-of-mut- ten sleeves tell of the influence of this strict ruler.

CHIEF OF POLICE STIRS UP
FEELING.

The Chicago Daily News of Novem-
Der 29 printed the following items
which have caused much comment in
the city hall:
Chief Fitzmorris' move Monday
night in transferring six officers of
the Patrolman's Social and Athletic
association, the organization which
was instrumental in procuring the pas
sage of the city councils ordinance
granting policemen day off week,
was the subject of extended comment
in police circles today. The general
feeling was that the chief chose that
means of expressing his disapproval
of the officers tactics in lobbying in
behalf of the ordinance without first
consulting him.
1t developed today that the police
department head had drafted plan
whereby instead of the day off week
scheme the policemen would be CIV
en- a SIS month raise. Unless the
mayor vetoes the ordinance the chief
proposes to throw his plan into the
discard.
The chief, it is said, is of the firm
belief that the department as whole
would prefer the increase in salary
instead of the day off.
Two years ago the association be-
gan it's campaign for an additional day
off for members of the department.
In the beginning Chief Fitzmorris ex-
pressed disfavor, but told the repre-
sentatives of the association, they now
assert, that as soon as more police
men were added to the force he would
approve the plan. Several months ago
1000 men we're added to the force,
then, when Chief Fitzmorris made no
intimation of sponsoring the plan the
association took it upon itself to press
passage of the ordinance. Aid. Joseph
Kostner of the 34th ward was inter
ested in the bill, and last Wednesday
afternoon at council meeting the
ordinance was passed without a dis
senting vote.
The officers hit in the transfer or
der are Daniel Mechtershiner, first
vice president, transferred from the
Austin station to the Sheffield avenue
station; Frank J. Branded, second vice
president, transferred from the Austin

MELLON FAVORS
GUT IN SURTAX
Further Reduction of Income
Rates on individuals Asked.
URGES 80 PER CENT SLASH
Treasury Secretary Says Present Rate
Has Resulted i'm Decreased Rev.
enues-AnnuaI Report to Con.
gress Sets Forth Conditions.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Secretary of
Treasury Mellon, in his annual report
to congress, urged a reduction of the
maximum income surtax rate from the
present so per cent to not more than
20 per cent, and the closing up so far
as possible of existing avenues of es-
cape from federal taxes.
Would Collect Back Taxes.
No general revision of the revenue
laws is proposed, nor are additional
taxes suggested, Mr.. Mellon express
ing the hope of meeting any indicated
government deficit through collection
of back taxes and income from other
sources
The treasury secretary informed
gaps through which there is an avoid
ance of tax payments to the govern
ment will not be enough, because the
existing rates of SurtaX put such
heavy pressure on the larger taxpay-
erS to reduce their taxable incomes"
that new ones surely would be found.
He added that the high rates Sound
productive, Dul Illdl Tie ldCI TcIudluS
that they are becoming increasingly
ineffective and are yielding less and
less revenue each year.
High Spots of Report.
Some of the outstanding points in
Secretary Melons report follow:
/. He urges a so per cent cut in
present surtax levies on big incomes.
2. He says the country is suffering
from a scarcity of labor.
3. The railroads are suffering from
undermaintenance and inadequate
equipment.
4. Farm products are selling too low
at the farm and too high at distribut-
ing centers.
5. The increased gold supply has
tended to increase speculation and un-
natural expansion of business.
6. Unsettled European conditions
endanger our foreign markets.
z. Further issuance of tax-exempt
securities should be prohibited by con-
StitutiOnal amendment.
8. The value of Liberty bonds has
increased $2,5OO,OOOOOO since the low
levels of 1920.

Herr Stuecklen told members of the
budget commission when he submitted
list of the purchases made for the

allied troops had bought 267 900 cham
payne, wine, liqueur, and ale glasses
since 1920, all of which goes into the
costs of the army of occupation, which
Germany must pay. Other items in the
budget list are $4,000 pieces of furni-

HARDING FIGHTS
DIRECT ELECTION
Opposes Measure to Speed Up
Meetings of Congress.
UPHOLDS THE CONSTITUTION
Resolution by Senator Norris, Repub-
lican of Nebraska, Sponsored by the
Progressives, Would Add
Amendment No. 20.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Moves in the
senate for constitutional amendment
providing for direct election of presi-
dent and vice president and for con-
venlng new congress Immediately
after election are vigorously opposed
by President Harding. The President
thinks that the constitution does not
need the constant tinkering that it has
been undergoing. He always has been
OF that opinion and has had no occa-
sion to change his mind.
One of the greatest Inspirations of
the fathers, in the opinion of Mr..
Harding, was the provision that a con-
greSS should not come into existence
as soon as elected, but not till the fol-
lowing year. That provision gives OPP
portunity for sober reflection on public
questions, which is beneficial to sound
legislation.
Gives Time for Reflection.
The President has observed that
the American people are prone to be
swayed by ephemeral whims which
would be likely to be translated into
legislation if congress were to meet
Immediately after election. He sees
no advantage in the proposal, particu-
larly as the executive has the power
to call a new congress into extraor-
binary session within six months after
the election.
The senate agricultural committee,
dominated largely by progressives,
voted to recommend to the senate the
resolution, sponsored by Senator Nor
ris (Neb., Rep.) providing for the SUBJ
mission of a constitutional amend
ment.
Proposed Amendment No. 20.
1t embodies the following changes:
Inauguration of the president and
vice president on the third Monday in
January following their election.
Converting the newly-elected con-
gress on the first Monday in January
following the election.
Adjustment of the electoral college
and the election of the president and
the vice president by direct vote Of
the people, each state, however, to
cast same number of electoral votes
in the canvass as at present.
