4 Writer Paints a Contrast To Point
 ' Moral
 It is an extraordinary thing how corrosive a self expressive wine may be to a mans career if she is merely a bugler
 I have in mind two premiers of an important European country. Both are men of outstanding ability, not only in their own nation but in the world. As things have been going these last ten years, either of these men might have affected the welfare of all man kind.
 I know about their wives. One is a short silent woman with eyes in which have sometimes seen deter minationy but seldom unkindliness. She has no social brilliance. She has ideas, but she is reluctant to express them. She listens. She is not genius In crises, however, if her husband turns to her, she has something to give him. It Is common sense.
 She has children who are quite at- tractive. I have walked with her and I Always felt all the time a sense of comfort. It was not exciting. But then neither is the growth of a tree ex-
 Then there is that other wife. She has more charm; she has more bril- : liance She has more force. But she has an instaiable appetite for lime III 1 by speaking she lets her voice rise into shrieks; if she cannot startle the world by useful contributions to it she brings out her shock troops.
 She has good breeding and throws it to the winds. If she cannot say anything sensible she says something mart: if she cannot say something mart she says something vulgar; if she could not think of anything vul- gar to say she would go and shave her head or stand on it and expect xhe world to say, How audacious! How originan How charmingI"
 strange thing that wife like this can humilate and break a world statesman who had a useful contribu- tion to make. It has happened; the wife is a modern woman-a self ex- pressive lady.
 It is all very well to point out that not many mems careers are smashed by this kind of a wife, but there are enough these days toi make 1t wise for a young man who intends to achieve greatness to be sure he does not take cowbird into his nest An Anonymous Writer in the Satur- day Evening Post.

U. $. NAVY TO GIVE
 AID TO SUFFERERS
American Red Cross Also Comes
 to Fore in Catastrophe

Washington, Sept. i,-oftieials here were preparing to press forward to' day their plans for extending every possible means of American aid to the earthquake sufferers of Japan on re. esipt Of fuller adyiees as to the needs of the situation snd indication of the most effective measures of relief.
 While Americans individually throughout the country were re. spending to the proclamation appeal issued by President Coolidge for con- tributions through the American Red Cross. ships Of the army and navy ai- ready were either under way or load ing with supplies for the relief of the afflieted region. In ad0ltion the entire Asiatie fleet has been placed at the disposal of the Japanese ministry Of marine for any possible service and plans were said 10 contemplate the use Of other government vessels in. eluding some of the shipping board fl necessary as supply carriers.
 Relief ships Prepare
 After American relief plans had been discussed yesterday at the White House and the State. War, Navy and other departments. it was announced last night that the destroyer tender Black Hawk will be loaded on her arrival at Chcfoo. China. with 1.o00.- 900 pounds Of rice and b00,000 pounds of beans and other non-perishable foods to be rushed to the earthquake sufferers.
 The War Department at the same time ordered the army transports Meigs and Merritt to proceed from Manila with food and medical sup plies, tentage and bedding from the army stores there. A sufficient en- listed force to take care of distribu- ton was ordered to accompany the supplies. It is a six or seven days voyage to Yokohama after the ships are loaded, which probably will re- quire day.
 Meanwhile seven destroyers of the Asiatic fleet are nearing Japan with medical supplies and food, one being due 10 arrive at Nagasaki today and the other six at Yokohama tomor- row.
 Red Cross Aids.
 The funds being distributed through Red Cross chapters and the national headquarters here will be added to an initial fund of .$100,000 already contributed by the American society to be turned over to the Japanese Red Cross through the state depart ment. In addition the American or ganization has appropriated s10,000 from its reserve fund for the assist ance of Americans in the stricken area.
 The presidents appeal for contri- buttons was issued immediately after Hanahira of Japan had called at the White House and learned from Mr. Coolidge the desire of the government to render all possible service. The ambassador in a later statement expressed his deep of the great tide of sym pathy that has arisen throughout America" at the catastrophe that has visited his country.

her thoughts on her work, and forget
ful Of the broken jar, the jam-maker
plunged her hands into the ash can.
Her right hand struck the Jagged

SHOP EARLY; MAIL EARLY

To the slogan "Shop Early" is added Mail
Early The plea for mail early" is made by the post

been Christmas day.
All the world enjoys Christmas day, except the
employees of the postal service They extract their
ward in the cheer and happiness which their calls
that day bring to thousands and millions. But there
is why they too may not enjoy Christmas
day others enjoy it, at home in the midst of their
families and friends All that is necessary is that
that in reality, Christmas morning, there will be
nothing left for the carrier to deliver.
To mail early requires diligence energy
than to shop early. In another day shopping put
off until the last minute The public educated itself
out of that custom 1t and will educate itself out
of mailing late into mailing early

SUPPORT THE PAPER YOU READ

Very frequently enthusiastic readers of the Mail
forget all about when they have printing
advertising to do. If you like paper and approve of
its policy, why not throw any business you have to
give it's way.
This is especially true of societies. churches schools
etc. They get lot of free space in the way of notices.
and which advertses their dongs and brings
out the crowds to their affairs yet when there is any
printing to be done they shop around in several cities
for bids the work The Mail overcharges no one
lowest to the Editor himself and we believe that or
ganzatons societies of any kind which printing
to do locally should consider the free advertising they
get from as more than offsetting few pennies
less at which they get work done at big city
shop.
There thousand ways in which the Mail helps
the local community which city print shop not do
