CARRIERS GET
HALF HOLIDAY
Local Post Office Clerks and
Mail Carriers Now Get
Halt Holiday Weekly

Although the mail carriers and
post office clerks in other cities are
putting forth every effort to obtain
a half holiday on Saturday, the
clerks and carriers of the local office
have been enjoying this holiday since
January 10, when the post office de-
partment issued an order that such
a holiday is permissible.
In order to give the employees a
half holiday on Saturday, an early
start is made at the post office and
two trips are made by the carriers
over the business secti | and one
over the residential s ction. These
trips are so arranged that nc mail is
left over from Saturday but a late
L.ail in the afternoon. The clerks
have arranged the time so that n
week one section works while the
Others enjoy the day off. The office
is open at the usual hours and the
sale of stamps and outgoing mail is
carried on the same as usual. 1t is
the general belief however, that be-
tore many months pass, all the en-
p1oyes of the post offices throughout
the country will De given a half holi-
day on Saturday and the office be
closed on that day the sans as holi-
days.
Although the post office will close
at noon today, Lincoln's birthday.
the collections and sending OF mail
will go on as usual.
There was but one delivery Of mail
today,
Mrs. Helen Warren has resigned
as clerk at the post office and the
position at the stamp window has
been taken by Clark McKenna.
There is a possibility Of an in
crease of carriers and clerks at the
post office in the near future. 1t is
also probable that additional mail
boxes will be placed about the city.
With the coming of spring the pres
ent mail boxes will be reprinted and

THOMAS EDISON SAYS
fContinued from PAGE IL

all like q little of 1t, but ] think
the papers overdo it. The politicians
make such suckers out of the pub
fishers. Why should every one
horse political aspirant use up good
print to rant about what he wants
to do? He should be made to pay
for the space he uses"
How about the movies?"
ct like them pretty well. My IA
vorites are Douglas Fairbanks, Tom
Mix, William S. Hart, Mary Miles
Minter and Alice Joyce
! "What do you think of business
conditions?
'"They are shaping lp nicely. We
are on the road to normality. OF
course, the war upset business and it
hasn't entirely recovered. The in
dividual has to be considered too.
It's hard for a man who has been
making $4,000 a year to go back to
$1,000. But readjustment is coming
gradually"
what do you like to read?"
Sentimental stuff mostly. I like
love stories for relaxation. But, OF
course, most of my reading consists
of newspapers and trade papers,"
what do you think of college
men?"
'"They don't know what's going IN.
They don't read the newspapers.
They are too dense. Newspapers are
a great force and the college boys
overlook them. If I had a paper. I'd
put more popular science into it.
I'd make the candidates for Jobs fill
out a QUESTIONABLE to see If they
knew anything. I'd want men with
imagination. Imagination is a. scarce
article"
'Let's see of your c-ontrivances.
We want to see If we can write a
story about them" one newspaper
mar said.
Nix" responded the inventor.
you'd have to be a bunch of nut
to understand what 1t is all about.
II you want to spend your time
valuably, why don't you write
about what Being done for sick. Get
a story about the Rockefeller insti-
ture LYearn who is ~perfecting cures
and let the people know about
them"
"What do you think of the
American girI?"
"She's fine-none better. Amerf-
can girls can sing better than any
others. In American homes you a
find better voices than among the
professionals on the opera stage. II
these girls would only sing for the
the country would be amaz-
ed"
whats good in the field OF In
y%ention?"
1.-The helicopter-the heavier
than air machine that goes straight
up James Gordon Bennett ons 9 gave
me $1,000 to experiment. with
one.
"I made a machine that only
weighed eighty pounds, but it didn't
do the brick. I scorched my hands

head trying to perfect it, but I didn't.
There is a great commercial field for
