BONUS WILL BE BRAKE
ON BUSINESS, SAYS
MORTIMER D. BRYANT

''The enactment of bonus legislation
for former service men will be a
brake on a business revival which has
just gotten under way nicely" declar-
ed Mortimer D. Bryant, New York
business man, who was here Saturday.
Mr.. Bryant served overseas, was
wounded twice, and held the rank of
colonel in the war
Those who stayed at home also
performed a service. Who can repay
the heartaches, worries and cares OF
the wives and mothers of the men who
served overseas? If the soldier is en-
titled to a bonus because of his serv-
ice, then, by the same token, the
mothers and wives are justified in
expecting to be paid.

Suggests Plan.
Instead of using the money for a
bonus, the government, it seems to
me, should make sure that every SER
vice man who was wounded and is
now in destitute circumstances, or
who incurred disabilities which did
not manifest themselves until after
they were out of the service, receives
adquate care in every particular. And,
in this connection, it is not amiss to
say that the real sacrifices were made
by the married men who had to leave
their families, and by the young men
who had just started in business for
themselves. When they returned,
they found their businesses had disap-
peared and that they had to start life
anew"
Mr.. Bryan is still in the national
guard of New York and last week he
was promoted to the rank of brigadier
general, commander of the Fifty-first
cavalry brigade, now commanding all

and New Jersey, known as the second

LOCAL MAIL ROUTES
ARE EQUAL TO ANY IN
COUNTRY, BECK

Richmond's four rural mail routes
are equal to any routes in the United
States, in the opinion of Postmaster
C. B. Beck, but always seeking better
results, Mr. Beck urged Saturday that
patrons of the routes cooperate with
the postoffice department to improve
boxes and box approaches.
Twice each year an inspection OF
the routes is, conducted. One of these
inspection trips is to be made about
the middle of this month.
Mr.. Beck said that when he first
assumed the duties of postmaster
about eight years ago, there Were
eight horse and wagon routes, and the
rural carriers left on their routes early
in the morning and did not return I'M
til late in the evening. Now there are
but -four routes and each of the nearly
1000 families served each day has rs
mail by noon.
"a carrier" said Mr. Beck, covers
about 80 miles day in his automobile
Each one of the men serve from over
800 to about $50 families. They make
their runs and have mail in the boxes
of the country people by noon each
day.
way 10 f7eip.
THE way these patrons can best
help the postoffice to give them even
better service is for them to see that
their mail boxes are in good condition
To be in good condition they should
be located on solid post, close
enough to the road to permit the car
rier to lean out of his car and deposit
the mail 1t is not generally known
but no carrier is allowed to leave his
car of mail. He must stay with his
car in making all deliveries.
eff all rural people would have theil
boxes well placed; their names plainly
printed on them; and would buy
stamps to place on their outgoing mail
rather than placing pennies in the
bottom of their boxes to cover mai
charges, it would mean that our serv
ice could be even better than it is now
unless care is taken of the boxes
by the rural patrons, an inspector may
order delivery of their mail in the
country stopped, and the patron would
be required to call for his mail at the
postoffice.'
Mr.. Beck said that the box posts
should be four feet eight inches higf
and should be easily accessible to the
carrier. He said that some of the tir
boxes were made by local timer q
years ago, and should be replaced be
cause of many defects.

LECTURE RECITAL ON
MACD0WELL'S works
TO Be GIVEN BY WIFE

Mrs. Edward Mcdowell, of New
York city and Peterborough, N. H.,
will give lecture-recital on the works
of her famous husband, the late Ed
ward Mcdowell, Americas foremost
composer, Thursday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock in the lecture room of the
First English Lutheran church. The
occasion will be the closing of the
season for the music department of
the Woman's club. The meeting will
be an open one.
AS pianist Mrs. Mcdowell is
rarely gifted and her devotion and &C
tivities in behalf of her husband are
known in every place that MacDow-
ellis works are known. Born in New
York of good American ancertry,
M r an Nevins- MacDoweu first
evinced her rare musical gifts as a
very young child Later at the age of
II she commenced thorough system
attic study with her aunt, Mrs. Roger
Perkins, of Camden, S. c., who had
come North to live, following the vicis-
STUDIES consequent upon the Civil war.
Met Mcdowell
Mrs. Perkins was an excellent must
clan and gave her niece the fine foun-
datlon for her later work in Europe,
where she journeyed at the age of Is
for the specific purpose of studying
with Clara Schumann. Arrived at
Frankfort, Mrs. Mcdowell learned
that a years advance preparation with
one of the daughters was required
from all alike before being admitted
to Frau Schumann's classes.
Being of practical turn of mind,
she could see no value in that for her
self, so, acting upon the advice OF
Joachim Raft, with whom young Ed
ward Mcdowell was then studying
composition. she decided to take up
further preparation with this Ameri-
can teacher more particularly as both
spoke the one language
Worked Together
Four years the apt pupil and earn
est teacher worked togeth, and one
year after Miss Nevins returned home
Mcdowell came to this country, and
they were married Though amply
prepared for a brilliant concert career
Mrs. Mcdowell decided to subordin-
ate her own plans in order to give an
undivided attention to Mr.. Mcdowell,
arguing that the fostering of great
creative gift was an infinitely higher
mission for her than Interpreting the
works of others. But the priceless
heritage has. remained hers none the
less since, as exponent of the Mac
Dowell works, she stands unique and
alone in the musical world today.
During her stay in this, city, Mrs.
Mcdowell will be entertained at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley Foulke
who are intimate friends of hers, and
who were instrumental in having her
come to Richmond.
The program which she will give
is announced as follows
