National Federation to Campaign
 for Saturday Half-HolidayS

Washington. Aug. 2S.-CP)-The National Federation of Post Office Clerks expects to begin a campaign at it's biennial convention opening in New York September to obtain A hour week with a half holiday on Saturdays.
 William F. Flaherty, secretary treasurer of the federation also said in making the announcement that the deficit in the post office depart ment was largely fictitious" and that this, too, would be discussed at the convention.
 He believes a proper system of accountancy,' giving financial credit to the postal service for many free or policy services it now performs would show the deficit a myth, and contends it should not be used ''as a reason for denying employment im- provement to the postal workers"
 Postmaster General Brown, at the instance of President Hoover, is now making a study of his department with the intent of curtailing the steadily mounting deficit charged to the postal service.

 Animals Run to Death.

London, Aug. 2S P}-Automobile casualties among the wild animals of Africa are causing considerable indignation here. Scores of people who used to write to the newsappar CTS protesting against the mounting toll of pedestrians killed or injured in London's traffic are asking their editors now why something isn't done to protect the lions and gi- raffes from the ravages of the au tomobile.
 Hunters cruise the Seringeti Plains of Tanganyika in motor cars, it is alleged, chasing their quarry for miles and administering the fatal shot after the fleeing animal is practically dead from over -exer- tion.
 The game law of the territory prohibits shooting from automo- piles, but the contention of the protestants is that the government is Indifferent" as to it's enforce ment.

IN MEMORIAM
HER CHILDREN

In loving remembrance OF our dear
daughter and sister, Mrs. Della Lever
age, who died May 80. 1929:
One month since that sad night,
When my dear girl was suddenly called
to her homeward flight,
She was always thoughtful, faithful,
loving and kind
What a beautiful memory she left be-
hind.
Through the pearly gates of heaven
passed,
The one we loved so dear.
God thought it best to take her from us
Though it left our home so drear.
Oh how lard we tried to save her
But our efforts were in vain
Angels came and took her from us
She is with the Saviour free from trou-
BILE and pain.
Silently the shades Of evening gather
Round our lonely door
And they bring before us
Her dear face we see no more,
She has passed the vale of shadows,
She has crossed the narrow sea
And beyond the Crystal River
She is waiting for us to see.
Fondly loved and sadly missed by
Mother and Brother. 1t
