we nave been reading great tleal /
about the hen scratching since bnsi-
ness fell off from the war time boom
and the Ford Motor Company Man
ager at New Orleans has sent the
King Automobile Company the fol-
lowing bit OF verse. There is SO
much truth in 1t that we pass it on
to our readers.
1T is not often that poetry has
great deal of bearing upon, or re-
lation to business problems. sOnce
In while, however, somebody gets
up something with real kick in
it that very aptly illustrates bust
ness thought or a business princi-
pie.
Possibly some of you have al
ready read the following verses.

ITO which class do you belong,

Said the little red rooster, Gosh all

Seems that worms are getting
scarcer, and l cannot find enough.
What's become of all those fat ones
is a mystery to me;
There were thousands through that
rainy spell-but now where can

'The old black hen who heard him
didn't grumble or complain.
She had gone through lots of dry
spells, she had lived through
floods of rain.
SO she flew up on the grindstone,

AS she said, I've never seen the

"The rooster vainly spent the day,

Where fat round worms had passed

When nightfall found HIM supper

Oh, here and there red roosters still

They cannot do much business now

Residents in the vicinity OF School
No. so. Concord avenue and the

night. perfected permanent organiza-
tfon OF a neie<1oorhood association.
The following officers were ap-
pointed TO represent the association
until regular elections are held: John
G. Collision, chairman; 70. S. Moore,
secretary; and Walter ]. Reardon,
treasurer.
James T. Mesrns, president OF the
Stapler Playground spoke of the
method and success that attended
the organization OF Stapler associ-
alton and stated that he did not see
such as those living in this section

Carlton S. Brigham, member OF

an easy transition.
The application OF better business
methods to the work Of the depart
ment Is the explanation of the econ
omies effected. Improvement in the
purchase and distribution of sup
plies and the revision of contracts
have been among the chief factors
contributing to this result. Thus a
saving of s6,27e.1s4 was made
through changes in contracts with
stamped envelope companies alone.
and there was a reduction OF 1885,
900 in the annual cost of railroad
transportation.
One specially commendable fea-
ture OF the review is that norton
which sets for the changes designed
to benefit tho personnel OF the SER
vice. The holding OF conference
conventions which enable employees
TO get together and discuss matters
pertaining TO their work, consistent
observance OF the seniority system,
improvements IN probationary con
dltions and the establishment OF a
welfare department operating
through the employees themselves are
cited as instances OF the methods by
which postal servants are benefited
and their morale strengthened.
The Postmaster General is assur-
edly to be congratulated on the fine
showing made by his department un-

The Postot1fce Department
cFrom the Washington Post.)

The general review recently made
public by the Postoffioe Department
makes pleasant and encouraging
reading. Tho objects of those in
control have been to AFFORD the peo-
pie thoroughly adequate postal
service and yet 20 effect economies
in operation. That they have sue
ceeded in their first aim IS proved by
the more rapid handling OF news
papers by the. inauguration OF a bet
ter system for the delivery OF hotel
mall and by the steady improvement
in rural delivery. Between March
4, 1921, and June 80. 1922. 537 new
rural routes were established, giving
rural delivery facilities 20 about 7e,-
415 additional families; 4.025 rural
routes were extended so as TO esd
to the convenience OF 40S500 families
and frequency OF delivery was IN
creased on 265 rural routes, giving
some $4,000 families the advantage
OF daily instead OF tri-weekly postal
service. These are ne mean
achievements.
Success IN the second object has
been attained by reducing the deficit
on operation by approximately S20,-

EngldndS Jealous Guardianship
(From the New York Heraid.)

I in the matter OF smuggling, which
| Great Britain desires TO assist this
| Government to suppress. then OF
how much greater imp portance must
these international laws be held in
the matter OF rights and privileges
and customs that have the sanction
of all the world outside of this coun-
try and never have been challenged
by this country until within the last
few days.
The principle involved is precise
ly the same. The rights at stake are
exactly alike.
And Great Britain's Jealous guard
ianship OF these international laws
and rights is no more than Frances
and Italy's and any other seafaring
nations.
AS to the extreme departure
which the astounding Daugherty
opinion seeks 20 make for our own
special purpose from the interna-
tional principles, laws and usage of
ages. the example now being cited
in France is not far fetched. The
French national laws. Ike the Ital-
ian national laws require vessels
sailing under the French flag to
serve regular allotmsnts of wine TO
the crews. Unless French ships live
UP to this obligatory practice OF
giving the crews wine with their
meals they cannot operate lawfully
under the French nss and they
must suffer severe penalties.
The Daugherty opinion. therefore,
means in effect that no French ship
can como to this port, since the
French Government says that no
French ship can sail the high seas or
fly the French flag unless It serves
wine to its crew. And then the
French critics OF the Daugherty
opinion pertinently ask. What II a
French law said no foreign ship
carrying bread could come into a
French port7 What II the Ameri-
can law said evory American vessel
must serve bread 20 its crew at every

members OF the Delaware Section
OF the American Chemical Society
at a meeting IN the parish house
OF Trinity p. z. Church last night.
DIR. Reid spoke on the work of the
American chemists in perfecting
American dyes. To compete against
the German dye manufacturers, he
said American manufacturers must
rely more on the knowledge Of
American chemists than on any tar
ifr bill.
DR.. Reid showed samples OF yarns,
dyed and colored from mustard gas.
He and his colleagues have made an
extensive study of the influence OF
sulphur on the color Of Azo-Dyes,
during the past year. The utiliza-
ton OF this branch OF now idle war
materials. for peace purposes, prom
ises to be an important factor in the
new American dye program.

Great Britains reply to our Gov
| ernment refusing 20 Join in a treaty
extension OF the territorial three
mile limit on the sea is specifically
addressed TO Secretary Hughes's re-
quest OF last June. This request for
British assent to stretching of our
territorial waters from three miles
to twelve miles was made with a
view merely TO facilitating the seiz-
ure OF liquor by way of being SNUG
gled into this country.
At the time tho note was written
the international storm had not
arisen over Attorney General
Daugherty's ruling that a foreign
vessel could not bring liquor into
our ports even under seal and in
tended for use only on the high seas.
Perhaps such a thing was not then
dreamed Of.
so this reply TO Secretary Hughes
does not directly refer 20 the great
question involved in the revolution

nevertheless, significance about

deeply Significant in respect Of the

question because OF the reason given
by Great Britain for not oonsenting
to the three mile elasticity even to
