Postal Campaign Directed Against Megible Writing

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-Postmas ter General New, who is working on a new chapter in the great drama, Why Mail Goes Wrong" has an nounced that special campaign is being conducted to direct the atten- tion of postal workers and the public to the frequent miscarriage of letters because of the similarity in the names of towns in various states.
 Mail addressed. for instance, to Summerton, South Carolina Summer town, Georgia; Summerville, South Carolina, and Lumberton, frequently is sent to the wrong place due to il- legible writing. Dover, North Caro- lima, and Milford, Texas, also have considerable trouble getting some of their mail because the addresses fail to make clear the state in which the town is situated.

Bart l.. Thane arrived here last night. He Is ac- companied by J. Tomita and c. lIshikawa, engineering representa- tives of Mitsni & Company, one of the strongest of Japanese industrial concerns.
 In Mir. Thames party are k. J. Wulzen and R. A. Semple, both for mer Alaska Gastineau men and now connected with the Carbonate coal mines. and F. Gastonguay, who met Mr. Thane at Seattle and returned here with the party
 Build Industrial Community. If the study, which will be an extensive one, produces satisfactory results to the Japanese engineers. and MT. Thane is confidnet that it will do so, the upbuilding of in- dustrial plants all along the shores of Gastineau Channel was forecast. Thane, with it's power development, machine shops. millsites, wharves and townsite, will be the nucleus of the new development program.
 We have not abandoned our plan for paper and pulp development but have added to it another industry for utilization of our power and [ t.1. ! idle" said MT. Thane. Interest in the manufacture of pulp and paper, he added, is as keen as ever, but he found that d large field exists in Japan for ammoniuH sulphate, for fertilizer purposes. and that Japanese engineers believed local conditions are highly favorable for its manu- facture. The examination will in- clude investigations of the oppor- tunities and advantages for both in- dustries. Mir Tomita Is chief en- ginoer of Mitsui Companys paper plants and his associate, MT. Ishi- kawa, Is chief chemical engineer for the same company.
 Thane We'll Received.
 Mr. Thane and his family went to Japan early last Spring and spent six months in that country and China. Primarily his trip was made to get into personal contact with Jap anese paper concerns. Prior to leav- mig San Francisco he had had con- siderable correspondence with brok- CTS of Japan on the subject of mar keting both paper and pulp but had not been able to make any satis- factory arrangement.
 Speaking of his negotiations. MT. Thane said:
 ''I was we'll received by the Jap- anese people before whom I laid our proposition. They were and are interested in the possibilities of marketing pulp and paper manu- factured here. But they thought they saw an even greater possibility for the manufacture of ammonium

One Thousand Dollars
 Are Found in One Book

LONDON. Aug. 29--The widow of the late John Troutbeck, for many years coroner for Westminster, had such a surprise when box, shaped like book, containing 200 pounds (s1000) was returned to her, that she tainted. It appears the book" was among number which Mrs. Troutbeck sold for three pounds ($15), thinking they were old medical works of her late husband, and of little value. The bookseller on examining them discovered one had a lock, and on opening it found a five-pound note and 190 one-pound notes, which he promptly returned to the widow.

HAMBURG, Aug. 29-Germany's collapsing currency and the resultant food shortages are producing a situa ton wholly unlike that in Russia two years ago when the ruble first descended to the point where one dollar purchased million rubles.
 Russians were in the throes of a famine caused by drought in the wheat-rasing districts. And their rail. way system was in need of repair and utterly disorganized by labor troubles and sabotage.
 Millions of persons were actually starving. Many of them were in flight from the burned-out districts, most of these without the means of buying food even where it was available.

CRIME SHOWN
 AS GROWING IN
 UNITED STATES
Startling Disclosures Are Sub- mitted to Meeting of
 American Lawyers.
DEMAND CRIMINAL CODE
 BE ENTIRELY REWRITTEN
American Bar Association Is Presented with Facts that
 Are Astounding.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 29 Startling disclosures of the extent and rapid increase of crime in the United States were submitted before the American Bar Association today by a Special Committee on Law En- forcement which urged that the whole code of criminal practice in the AS States of the Union be re- written so that the long arm of the law might also become swift, sure, constant and. on occasion, merciful. Data on number of crimes, meth- ods of trial and treatment of pris- oners in England and France were cited, in comparison with which this country showed a decided dis advantage.
 American Apathy.
 The blame was laid partly upon the structure of the law and the manner in which our courts func- ton, but principally the increase of crimes and criminals was attributed to "the apathy and difference of the American people" toward law en- forcement.
 Terrible failures of justice have occurred in all parts of the coun- try" says the committee. Truth still clings to Chief Justice Taft s statement that "the administration of criminal law in the United States is a disgrace to civilization. The trial of criminal seems like a game of chance with all the chances in favor of the criminal and, if he escapes. he seems to have the sym psthy of sporting public"

POOR DISTRIBUTION IS HELD TO BLAME FOR GERMAN FOOD CRISIS

population Is not large, and the fami- lies which have been deported from the Ruhr are for the most part pro vided with some paper money by the government
 The Russian government, just pre- vious to the decline of the ruble to the million point, had changed it's eco homie policy and discontinued the plan whereby it had sought to prove money utterly worthless and useless by promising workmen actual food and clothing and rent and light and heat in exchange for their work. Consequently Russians suddenly found themselves without food rations and without money as well, as unemploy- ment was widespread
