British Postal System
Has Many Conveniences

The British post office officials
are capable and obliging and if
anyone should lose himself, he can
go to the nearest post office and
mail himself home An express
messenger is sometimes given
charge of a person and takes him
to his destination, where he OBJ
tains a receipt. The charges, based
upon the distance Travelled. are
quite moderate. If you merely
wish to prove that a letter has
been posted, there is no need to
register it. The post office will sup
ply you with a Certificate of post
ing for cent. If you miss the
last collection of letters and have
an urgent communication to send,
ring up the head post office of the
district. tell them your plight, and
dictate the letter 1t will be writ
ten out and sent off with the night
mail. The charge is six cents for
the first thirty words, two cents
for every ten afterward, and the
ordinary postage and telephone fee.

American Elk Splendid

The American elk, or wapiti. is
the most beautiful and stately of
all the deer tribe. He is not actu-
ally an elk, for the name really be-
longs to the elk of Europe, an ami
NAL very closely related to our
moose.
Some of the Indian tribes called
him wapiti, and we might well let

a good name, writes Arthur New

believe that many have not been

How Poppy Became Symbol

There is some confusion and mis-
understanding in regard to the use
of the poppy as a symbol. by the
American Legion and the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars. The poppy was
first sold in this country for war
relief before the armistice, when
Nine. Guerin disposed of millions
of them which had been made by
French orphans. The Veterans of
Foreign Wars bought the last of
her stock. In 1920 the American
Legion had a national poppy sale,
but in 1921 had q daisy sale. The
Veterans Of Foreign Wars then had
q poppy drive. Later the Legion
used the poppy. Both organizations
now sell pOppies near Memorial day
for needy veterans, and it seems
that this flower has found a place
in the American heart along with
the red cross upon a white field.

Proposed Traffic Changes Here
Should Come Slowly

The most satisfactory part about the contemplated changes
in traffic parking regulations here by Commissioner
Crosby is the that the Commissioner will proceed
cautiously and dump lot of things the public
in short space of time
It is inevitable in big city that occasional changes in
traffic regulations should follow variations in the flow of
traffic and the increasing congestion in different sections but
nothing disconcerting to automobile drivers than
flock rules to which they must become accustomed
many of which often unnecessary and represent little
but the theoretical ideas of busybodes confident of ability to
solve all traffic problems
Commissioner Crosby will have to listen to tremendous
amount advice it is known that he is seeking sugge
tons and ideas traffic matters There isn't or
Washington who not furnish just the correct
solution of any and all problems and yet there is always
great howl when changes made.
The Commissioner is not mercurial in temperament
will do nothing unless he pretty that it is bene
fcal to the whole city Making traffic changes that are
simply experimental is not his way.
The outstanding traffic problem before Commissioner
Crosby difficult of solution that of the triangle
area between Pennsylvania Avenue and the Mall be filled
by Government buildings occupied by thousands of Gov
ernment workers.
Conditions in that area, in the next few years, will bear
directly upon the whole business section of Washington.
The Government is going forward with its building plans
without provisions for the huge traffic that will shift there
with occupied buildings.
Surely the Government ought to oresee what going to
happen and endeavor to do its part meeting the unavod
