Some Truth in This
Complaint of Writer

French postal employees are de-
manding more money, and if they
don't get it they threaten to read all
the postal cards passing through the
mails If they did such a thing in
this country the public could retaliate
by writing all postal cards with post
office pens.
If you have ever tried to WELD one
Of these literary implements you will
gather at once what we mean.
The man who said the pen is
mightier than the sword, wasn't think
ing of the kind they harbor in United
States post offices.
There is only one thing more useless
than a post office pen. That is the
post Office ink.
Someone wrote to a scientific maga-
zine the other day TO find out what
becomes of the national crop of de-
ceased flies. They lie buried and mum
mified in the sO-called ink Of a great
nations post offices. There they sleep
their silent years away until someone
comes along and tries to write a let
ter with them
The curse of the post Office pen is
creeping paralysis. The symptoms are
plain. When you begin your COM
munication you carefully trace the
contour of the letters, but with no
visible results. All the afflicted pen
can do is scream with pain in dry,
scratchy voice Then, suddenly. as
though striving to make amends for
its prior infirmities. its muscles relax,
its foul, insanitary throat opens and it
breaks loose in a hemOrrhage of mud,
shoe polish, asphaltum and aerated
flies.
Another national institution familiar
to those of us who look after our cor
respOndence in post office lobbies, is
the harveyized or ink-proof blotter
However, we shall not tread further
| this pathway of disclosure lest it ap
pear that we are endeavOring unfair

Wild Duck Unable to Fly

Catching birds by running after
them and sprinkling salt on their tails
is proverbially difficult. On one Of
those lonely island specks in the larg-
est of oceans known as the Hawaiian
bird reservation, is a peculiar species
of teal which has lost the power of
flight. This wild duck can be easily
run down by a man on foot. But AS
men do not come to this island once
In blue moon II would seem safe.
However, it has to have fresh water
and the only fresh water on the al
most barren island IS a small pool.
Should the encroaching sands cover
the pool, which seems likely, this rare
hightless duck must die.

Accident Occurs At Merriam's Corner W hen Waterbury Bound Car And One From Mildale Collide Head-on.
Motormen, Who Stuck to Their Posts Trying to Avoid Collision Are Two Most Dangerously In- jured.

Cheshire, Conn, Sept. 23.-six persons were hurt, three seriously when two trolley cars crashed head-on at Merriam's Corner this forenoon. The injured, rushed to St. Mary's hospital at Waterbury are:
 Early Dilger, motorman, not ex- pected to live. Francis Kirby. mo- torman, not expectedto live. Martin Dwyer, Southington, reported in a critical condition. Theodore Hayes, possible internal injuries. Terence Mulligan, Southington, scalp wounds and fractured skull. Earl Hotchkiss. Southington, body decorations and broken arm.
 Mistaken Signals
 Mistaken signals are believed to have caused the collision. The cars were operated on the Milldale Tram- way line. That more persons were not hurt is due to the fact that only a few passengers were riding on each of the colliding cars.
 The car operated by Motorman Earl DilgeF was proceeding from Waterbury after stopping at a switch short way from the scene of the accident it Is believed that Dilger either received wrong signal or mistooK the signal for clear track ahead.
 Hit While Speeding
 The car operated by Francis Kirby was travelling from Milldale toward Waterbury and according to state- ment by Kirby at the hospital he ex- pected to meet the other car at the switch. ....
 Approaching on a descending grade and rounding curve at a hign rate of speed the car operated by Dilger was almost upon him before he was aware that the collision was inevitable, Kirby said.
 Both men remained at the con- trollers in an. attempt to slacken speed before the crash came.
 Most of the passengers were hurl- ed to the floor of the cars and the motormen's platforms were badly smashed. Every window in both cars was smashed.
 Dwyer and Mulligan were pas- sengers in the car bound for Mill- dale and were hurled the full length of the car. They were unconscious when taken out of the car by a res cue party, and hurried to the hos pital in ambulances.
 An investigation of the accident has been started.
