Fewer Holidays for Students.

Two large Western universities
have reduced the number of holidays
allowed their students by four. The
institutions are the University of Cali
fornia and Stanford University, which
is also in California. The public holi-
days which have been stricken from
the list of school holidays are Labor
day, Armistice day, Memorial day and
Washington's birthday. The two uni
verSitieS will hereafter observe only
July 4, Admission day anniversary
of California's admission to the
Union). Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Year day.
As might have been expected, there
is opposition in the student bodies to
d reduction in the number of holi-
days. The reason for the action of
the universities is not given in the
news, but 1t seems to be plain that
it was taken because the lengthening
list OF holidays is interfering too
much with the scholastic work OF
students. Il must have caused con-
siderable mental effort on the part of
the presidents of the universities to
settle on which HOLIDAYS should be
stricken from the university calendar,
and it seems to show that they
thought tho matter of great impor
tance when they struck out holidays
"f such long and general observance
as Washington's birthday and Memo
rial day.
1t has been noted from time to time
that there is growing opposition to
increasing the number of holidays,
and sometimes ono hears complaint
that there are now too many holidays.
Whether the action by the University
of California and Stanford University
is a forerunner of similar action by
other. universities is something on
which a prophecy is not warranted.

Christmas. 1t is necessary to mail
put his mail in the post office earlier
than it has been his habit to do it.
The Postmaster General suggests
thdt Christmas mail be sent forward
sooner than usual and that each piece
of mail be plainly marked, mot to
be opened before Christmas"
Another reason for the early mail
ing campaign is that postal employees,
carriers and all clerks not needed to
keep the postal service functioning
may have Christmas dinner at home
as other Americans do. The early
mailing campaign last year was so
nearly "a success that carriers
throughout the country and tens of
thousands of clerks were freed from
work at noon on Christmas. 1t was
the first time in the history of the
Post Office Department that this was
possible. The aim of the department
this year is to have the delivery of
Christmas mail finished on Christmas
morning and that letter carriers and
post office clerks may cease work at
IL am.
Agencies of the most extensive in
fiuence are cooperating in this un-
dertaking with the Post Office De
partment. Practically every news
paper in the United States is urging
the people to mail early for the safe
and prompt delivery OF their mail
and for the comfort and joy of the
postal army. The moving picture
houses throughout the country are
showing Mail early legends and
pictures and are putting on the screen
the reasons for early mailing. The
radio is lending itself to the cam
paign and mail early" talks are on
the air in every wave length used
by stations from New England to the
Pacific Coast and from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Canadian border.

The Sheatsley Mystery.

A coroner at Columbus, Ohio, has
rendered a report of suicide in the
case Of a woman whose body was
found in the furnace Of her home par
TALLY consumed by the flames. This
verdict is one of the most remarkable
findings ever returned in the case of
a tragedy. Just how the woman could
have crawled into the furnace and
closed the door after her is a pro-
found mystery which the coroner's re-
attracted wide attention because of the
peculiar circumstances. The first con.
clusion, naturally, was that the woman
had been killed and her body thrust
into the furnace, to be there con-
sumed. Yet there were no marks of
violence upon the remains, and no
trace of poison could be found upon
chemical analysis. The apparent
physical impossibility Of self-destruc-
ton by such means led almost newt
ably to the assumption of murder, un-
less suicide had been committed and
the body then put into the fur
mace by members of the family. Yet,
what would be the motive of such a
suspicion breeding act? On the other
hand, no evidences Of crime appear.
No motive for murder has been found.
The most suspicious circumstance is
the peculiar behavior of a young son,
who told conflicting stories about see

ing the body in the furnace and then
calmly taking a nap. No evidences of
suicidal intent on the part of the
woman have been found. There was
no reason to suspect a morbid dis
position.
1t is doubtful if ever a case of this
kind has occurred before. 1t may be
solved. That crime he's been COM
mitted would seem to be established
by the mere fact that the body was
found in the furnace. where a living
person could not conceivably crawl
and then close the door. Yet the cor
oner returns a verdict of suicide,
which is challenged by the prosecuting
attorney, who promises further inves-
tigation. The body was found on the
18th of November, nearly three weeks
ago, and still the case stands without
solution. 1t is one. of the prize mys-
teries of all time.

Catching the "Hit-and- Runners.

Maj. Sullivan expresses commenda-
ton for a mOtorist who, witnessing an
accident in the street Friday after
noon in which a woman was struck
and the driver of the car sped away,
pursued the offender and obtained the
number of his license and reported it
to the police. Through this informa-
ton the driver was arrested. The in
forming citizen was, at latest reports,
unknown, but the chief of police pub
licly thanks him for his services.
1t is the duty of every person who
witnesses a street accident to do his
utmost to insure the Identification of
the driver. Only through the CO
operation of such witnesses can the
police overtake offenders and bring
them to court for hearing. for in all
but the rarest cases policemen are not
present and have no information as
to the identity of the drivers.
Usually there is somebody at hand
to see such happenings, and all who
witness them should be ready with
their testimony. While some persons
may shrink from appearing in court,
or may be reluctant to mix up" with
matters of this kind, all should regard
themselves as parties to the prosecu-
tion of offenses against the safety
laws. They are interested, presum.
ably, in the enforcement of the rules
of traffic, and especially in the main.
tenance Of the standard Of security
Whether they are motorists or not
they have a stake in the case.
The careful motorist is concerned in
the enforcement of the laws, for his
own personal protection and for the
safety of others. He will not himself
flee from the scene of an accident, for
his own carefulness in driving is his
protection against the charge of re-
sponsibility for striking others. Only
the reckless driver, who holds the law
in disregard, will fail to be concerned
to insure the prosecution of one who
has caused injury through his own in
difference to the rights of other
people.
The present public demand for an
increase of the penalty for running
away from the scene Of an accident
may cause some motorists who are in
volved in such misfortunes to fee out
Of sheer fright. There is no reason
for running away if the motorist is
not at fault. Flight is a confession
of carelessness or of guilt. Whoever
sees driver fleeing from the scene of
an accident may safely assume that
he is blameworthy, and should pursue
him if means are available, or at least
get the license number and promptly
report it to the police. That is the
course Of good citizenship.

1t, the railway mail cars could not

offices could not hold it.
Though the postal service expands
every year, the custom of sending
Christmas cards and gifts and Easter
greetings has grown beyond the ca
pacity of the Post Office Department
to handle and deliver such mail on
time. The growth Of Christmas and
Easter mail is evidence of the in.
creasing prosperity of the American
people. No other postal department
in the world handles so much mail

other people in the world send and

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

In all the discussion OF President
Coolidge's record-breaking economical
journey from Washington to Chicago
and return no point has been more
interesting than the probable effect
of this precedent upon royal visitors
to the United States during the Cool
idge regime at the White House.
Like all former Presidents of the
past three or four decades, kings and
queens and princes sojourninG in
this country always have Travelled in
private cars. In most instances they
have used private trains. The King
and Queen of the Belgians, visiting
America in 1919, had a private train
always at their disposal. The little
Prince Of Wales, during his recent
visit, journeyed from Long Island to
Washington to lunch with the Presi-
dent in the most luxurious train
the Pennsylvania Railroad could put
together. Later he used another spe-
cial on his trip to Canada.
1t has been considered quite the
thing to do. But now that the Pres
ident has taken the stand. that in
,his supremely democratic country
the stateroom of an ordinary sleeping
car is plenty good enough for the
Chief Magistrate of the United States
the question arises as to whether
or not royalty, calling upon the Pres
tdent, will follow the new custom OF
the country or continue the "swank'
Of riding In private cars and special
trains. These royal visits always
present numerous ticklish problems
in etiquette, so here is another for
the social and diplomatic arbiters to
solve.
President Coolidge carried West
Virginia, the home State of his Dem
ocratic rival, by a whaling big ma
jority. There are some residents OF
the little Mountain State who assert
that good deal of the Presidents
popularity in the Commonwealth was
due TO the circulation of the state
ment during the campaign that fol
nigh on to 10 years he had been
steady smoker of West Virginia
stogies-not only a smoker himself
but an inducer of others to smoke.
According to the story, the stogie
factory which has such a distin.
guished patron is located at Fair
mont, w. Va, home town of Glen
Shaver, chairman OF the Democratic
national committee. 1t produces the
rag tail" stogie, so called because
OF its shape. Long before he was
elected Governor of Massachusetts
Mr.. Coolidge smoked one of the
cigars and liked IL tremendously

Japan and the Maneuvers.

Admiral Okadd, cOmmander-in-chief
fo the japanese navy, seeks to set his
cuuntrymen straight on the subject Of
the projected maneuycrs of the United
States Navy at Hawaii. Apropos c<
protests that have been voiced in ia
pan to this program, Admiral Okada
declares that he can see nothing sin
lister in the purpose of the United
States, adding that if he were states
man he would feel much more con
Cerned over the attitude of the Jap
auese press, ever intent upon MAX
ing capital of matters of this kind"
This is the counsel of wisdom. Ad-
niral Okada, as a naval commander
knows that the projected American
naval maucuvcrs at Hawaii are simply
in tho line Of the maintenance Of
efficiency. regardless of any conceiva-
rlo military objective. Hawaii is part
&C the United States. 1t is regarded as
an important outpost of defense for
the United States against any attack
from the west. 1t so happens that
Japan is the only major power in the
Far East that is conCeivably capable
uf making such an attack. in the ex-
trcmely remote contingency of war
between the two nations. But to hold
naueuvers there does not imply in
any degree that the United States
contemplates such a possibility as suf-
ficient to warrant practice of naval
moves in preparation for effective re-
slstance of Japan.
suppose the United States owned
Bermuda and chose that island as the
center of naval maneuvers. Would
any Of the governments Of Europe be
warranted in regarding such u demon
stration as Il gesture of defiance by
this country? Which one could with
any degree of logic or. propriety pro-
test?
Tho mere fact that Japan is the
solitary power of first rank on the
Pacific coast of Asia does not give
sinister significance to the selection of
Hawaii as the maneuver base. The
American Navy ia for defense alone.
1t is designed to defend both coasts in
the event Of aggression by another
power. 1t would be in the last degree
absurdly negligent of the country's
security to confine naval maneuvers
to the Atlantic waters, or to the coast
line on the Pacific side, simply be-
cause of the possibility of misunder
standing by sensitive Japanese, who
refuse to credit the peaceful inten-
tions Of the United States and who
profess TO see in every move made
here a menace to Japan.
Conflict with Japan is not in the
minds of any Americans today, save
as it is suggested by Japanese jingo-
ism. Admiral Okada's words should
check the mischievous propaganda
that is being spread through Japan
by agitators who seem to wish to
bring about the very evil they are
bewailing in advance of any cause or
Justification for alarm.
