Of disease outbreaks Helpless and with hope of de-
verance from vertabe He'll earth almost gone these
100000 Jews broken in spirit broken in health ruined

Many of them mothers leaving behind them ocks of

MODERN POST OFFICE SYSTEM
GREW FROM MESSENGERS ON FOOT
Ancient Persians Had Regular Service $500 Years
Ago-Cermans Clung to Personal
Method Long,

mile. The seventeenth century roads
were SO bad that in many instances
the coaches could not run in the
Winter. Time improved matters. but
as late as 1863 it took a fortnight for
a coach to make the trip between
London and Edinburgh. At that time
the post office charged according to
the number of sheets in a letter and
the distance 1t had to go. The sender
took his letter to the post office un.
sealed so that the clerk might count
tha sheets and write the postage due
on the outside, which was collected
from the person who received it rather
than from the sender-the charges
for a. letter of three sheets from Lon
don to Edinburgh being at that time
over three shillings.
short time after this the we'll
known reformer of the English postal
system, Rowland Hill, suggested that
all letters under a certain weight,
whatever their destination and how
ever many sheets, should be handled
by the post Office for d penny. Mr..
Hills suggestions although frowned
on by Parliament sufficiently aroused
public opinion to be adopted. This
bill also provided that instead of en-
ploylng clerks to write receipts for
postage due on letters that the post
office have the sender stick on his
own receipt-adhesive labels which he
could buy and keep at home-so the
postage stamp was born.

stated. would form the basis of or
sanization. Goff was praised at the
trail blazer in the foundation
scheme now followed by 50 many
American cities.
Declaring that San Francisco citi-
zens are bequeathing in excess of
81 900 900 a year. and that proper dis
tribution and utilization of this great
sum is essential. the II original
sponsors of the local movement eX
! pressed themselves as of the opinion
that the bequests represent com
munity problem.
Merrill Outlines Position.
Chairman Merrill, outlining the
position of his group, declared to-
day:
For ages we have been trying to
solve the problem of giving. 1t is Il
difficult one. and one in which we
! in the United States spend millions
of dollars each year. Thomas Jeffer
son was the first American who made
an intensive study Of giving, and then
waged war against entails by point
ing out the danger-the danger of
the dead hand, through wills and be
quests, attempting to guide the future
''Tn spite of the large expenditures
of money. the losses. the inefficency
and often the actual damage which
result are appalling. AS a rule. where
| the amount Is more than 81 900 900,
| the donor makes a sufficient study
to make the bequeSt effective, but
amounts under 81 .000, 900 have a very
high casualty rate.
"As rule, the philanthropist begins
life handicapped by some adverse con-
dition. Having achieved wealth, he
looks back over his experience and
contemplates the needless obstacles
that he had to overcome; eventually
he decides on one and resolves to
vanquish it If possible.
Our plan is rather simple. and not
far removed. or much different, from
the organization of the Rockefeller
Foundation. It's principal novelty is
that it provides working machinery
without cost, for the man who may
wish to leave a very small sum as a
beQueSt to some institution or cause.
j is thus that the community founda-
ton becomes in the truer sense of
the word a democratic institution, or
a peoples foundation
The trustees who manage the foun-
dation would serve without remun-
GRAFTON and would be self-perpetuat
ing. They would look after the funds
jntrusted to their care: they would
ask those who leave requests not to
bind them to specific instructions. but
to give them a general outline of their
purpose: they would follow specific
instructions to the letter as long as
common sense would dictate such a
course, but if conditions should
change. the terms of the will would
leave them free to use their judg-
ment in attempting to approximate
the purpse of the donor of the legacy"

Who today can imagine life with
out the daily mail. 1t is III truth un-
imaginable, yet some Of the most
highly cultured and most powerful
nations Of history reached the zenith
of their pomp and power without a
daily mail. The origin of the postal
system is not definitely known. but 1t
is believed to date from the time OF
the ancient Persians under Cyrus 500
years before Christ. The Persian let
ter writer's, as was the case in classic
Greece and Rome. were served by a
swift running youth who sometimes
covered a distance of a hundred miles
in a day and night. The story is told
of the letter carrier of those days
who, when forced from sheer exhaus-
ton to snatch a rest, tied one end OF
a piece of rope to his toe and set the
other end alight which served as a
most effective alarm clock.
1t is amazing to note that although
China had a postal system in the first
century Be. Germany had none
until the latter part of the nineteenth
century Since medieval days the
wealthy class of Germany had their
own messengers and they clung OBJ
stinately to this privilege for very
long time. Germany was far behind
England in this respect, for the latter
country had a postal system prior to
the seventeenth century, but, unfortu-
nately, it was dedicated almost en-
tirely to the use of the royal family
and the general public did not begin
to benefit from it for almost a hun
dred years. The post office was en-
acted by Parliament in 1850 and its
official history in England dates from
that time When it was Established
members of Parliament were granted
the privilege Of franking letters. They
had only to sign their names on the
outside and any package went free.
This plan, it is said. was most unSAt1s-
factory, for the frank soon became a
common object Of barter, since some
of the Parliament members paid their
servants and other debts with bundles
of government franks, while the reclp-
tents in turn used these franks in eX-
change for food. The post office was
cheated out of thousands of pounds
every year in this way, but, strangely
enough, the system was not revised
for more than a hundred years.
In the earliest days of the English
post office, the letter carriers went on
horseback. but toward the end of the
seventeenth century the horses were
replaced by stage coaches. There was
a, great protest made against the
stage coach-pamphlets were written
declaring that men who rode in
coaches insteed Of enduring snow and
rain on horseback would become lazy
and indolent. Others praised the
marvellous speed of four miles an hour
of the coaches and their cheapness of
less than a fourth of a shilling per

100000 DOGS IN U. S.
Only so Breeds Held Importan
Enough to Classify.

The dog population of the United
States is approximately 100000,
according to estimates. says the De
partment of Agriculture. The De
partment, however. does not attempt
to estimate the value of this livestock.
for it is composed alike of animals
with mixed, or mongrel. ancestry and
canine aristocrats whose known par
entage traces back through genera
tions of purebred stock.
About 60 breeds of dogs are con
sidered of enough consequence to be
given classification in the dog world.
Only 46 of this number, however, are
of sufficient importance in this coun-
try to warrant inclusion in Farmers
