SOMETHING NEW
Is Being TRIED
A I POSTOFFICE

Postmaster E. j. Huxtable has hit
upon a novel idea to impress the
public with the service" motto Of the
postoffice employees. The thing may be
called an innovation for this card
which will be displayed in prominent
places about the big lobby of the fed
eral buildings asks that the public
please report to the postmaster or his
assistant any special courtesies eX-
tended by the various clerks at the
various windows of the office.
This is certainly something new
There is a standing rule in postoffices'
and other places that any discourtesies
be reported and they usually are, but
this system is one which will be OF
great interest to everyone. 1t is point
ed out that employees will be more than
ever anxious to render real services to
the patrons if they feel that their
special courtesies are to be reported to
the postmaster.
The merit system by which the en-
ployes are given merits or dement's
as their conduct demands is in force at
the postoffice and for this reason the
postmaster feels that the request on the
little card may, help very much by
making it possible to mark up merits
when they are deserved.

Famous CoOent Garden
Escapes Modernizdtion

LONDON QP)-The quaint old Co
vent Garden theatre, where David
Copperfield saw his first pantomime,
is not to be disturbed by plans which
call for modernization of the famous
flower and vegetable market, which
dates back nearly 300 years and from
which the playhouse takes its nameA
The original scheme was to demolish
all the antiquated market buildings,
including the theatre, because of the
increased value of the land occupied
just off the Strand in the heart OF
London But the proposal to move
the market fell through, and directors
of the ,Beechan Estate and Pills, Ltd
have decided to extend the premises
and bring the buildings up-to-date.
Covent Garden market is one of the
tourists sights of London, where flower
women and vegetable sellers begin
operations at 3 a. m.

Besides developing for the jury the
fact that Teapot Dome was set aside
as a naval reserve under a policy call

that Fall was instrumental in having
control of this and other naval re-

The government aJ;o has offered
evidence to combat the defense's con'

under plan calling for furnishing

Anne Boleyn's Clock
Gets Modern Cleaning

LONDON NJ--Anne Boleyn's clock,
a gift from Henry VIII, on her we'd
ding day, is being cleaned and given
a general overhauling the first time
in many years. The clock, but 10
inches in height, is now one of the
treasures Of Buckingham Palace. 1t
formerly belonged to Horace Walpole
and when his effects were sold Queen
Victoria bought the timepiece for 10
pounds.
Another specimen at the palace, the
town residence of the king and queen,
is known as an "act of parliament
clock, a clock which grew out of a
tax imposed on watches by Pitt. When
the tax became effective, watches were
worn less and less and tavern keepers
and as many housekeepers as could
afford it adopted bold mural time
piece for the benefit of their customers.

Sir OliOer Against
'Scrapping" Mediums

LONDON l4l Sir Oliver Lodge never
in his life thought spiritualistic me-
diums should be abolished, or anything
of thes sort, as he was reported to
have stated in paper read before the
International metaphysical congress in
Paris.
The story that the famous spiritual
ist had denounced mediums as being
a source of possible fraud in direct
registration of psychic phenomena was
attributed as due to some misunder-
standing for which he could not ac
count.
There has been some misapprehen-
sion, as I have never said anything
which might have been interpreted as
meaning that ] was in favor of abol-
ishing mediums" said Sir Oliver.
How could we carry on research if
we were to scrap our tools?"

Powerful in theme, spectacular in
action, and with a strong cast,

priated by stay-at- homes, and facing
the necessity of working in the most
mental tasks to support themselves
and their families.

bert Brenon production for United
Artists. and has cast including H.
B. Warner, Anna @. Nilsson, Alice
Joyce, Nils Asther. Carmel Myers,
Mary Nolan, Norman Trevor, Louis

Werner Kraus.

WERNER KRAUS, the noted Ger

with Emil Jannings in Secrets of a

screen career. Both he and Jannings
alike display a versatility and stage
personality credited largely to the sys-
TEN Of training and casting used only
in German film studios.
No "one-part' actors are developed
by the UFA studios. and Kraus has
probably played as many diversified
roles as any living actor.
Already famous when he left the
stage eight years ago to enter the
movies, one of his first screen char
acterizations, The Cabinet of DIR.
Caligari" brought him undying fame.
This was followed by many others,
ranging from comic TO tragic, fantastic
TO realistic.
Kraus has appeared as a thug in
The Three WaX-Workers," as a
straight leading man in Jealousy" as
RObespierre in IAN for a Woman" as
half.wit in THE Treasure" as a
humble laborer in Shattered" and as
n comic clerk in a recent German pro.

original UFA production personally
supervised by the famous psychol-
ogist, DR.. Sigmund Freud. returns to

The picture is not intended for

interesting and gripping manner.
Werner Kraus, seen here in "A1l

Cabinet of DIR. Caligari," has the lead
ing role of the husband whose fear
of his wife's infidelity leads to COM
ical and yet basically pathetic mag
inings. Ruth Weyner, noted German
actress. appears as the wife. G. w.
Pabst directed the production.
The picture is accompanied by a
