U. S. Mailbag System
Obviates Loss by Fire.
Irish Independent, Dublin.-In view
of the development of airmail services,
understand, writes the London corre-
spondent of the Irish Independent, that
the post Office is considering the intro
duction of fireproof airmail bags as a
safeguard against fire. Such bags are
now used by the United States in air
mail services. They are made of pure
asbestos and lined inside and out by
high-grade canvas. The sides and bot
tom are steel riveted, and there is
triple device to prevent flames from en-
tering the bag through the neck. The
U. S. a. experiments have shown that
the use of these bags practically obviates
any loss through fire.

University Women
Marry After Graduation.
Neues Wiener Tagblatt, Vienna
The statistics of that famous Ameri-
can institution for women, Barnard
College, become increasingly interesting
exery year. Once the academically-
trained young lady was considered an
almost irreclaimable spinster.
In the year 1900, for instance, class
was graduated from Barnard College
of which to date only per cent of its
personnel has married. OF the class
of 1915, however, 3O.1 per cent has
elected to enter into matrimony, sur
rendering the freedom of career for
a quiet domestic routine. In 1880, the
trend toward the altar was still more
pronounced, no less than 46.9 per cent
promptly becoming brides within less
than a year of completing their studies.
About 292 per cent of all the mar
ried graduates, taken collectively,
nevertheless do follow career, either
incidentally or by devoting their whole
time to 1t. In fact, there is a certain
feeling in America that women who
have completed courses of study in
higher institutions should not be re-
calcitrant to their larger opportunities
for good. They are sometimes called
"deserters" because upon the compile
ton of their professional training they
either fail to pursue their intended ac-
tivities with enthusiasm, or give up the
calling altogether, in order to become
a happy "hausfrau" in the comparative
obscurity of private life.

Spread of Atheism.
From the Salt Lake City Deseret News.

tuc OdAt AdAS Ni'I DSoSAo" ~'N"S'
A dark picture Is displayed concern
ing the spreading of atheism in Europe,
and Asia, by papers in Germany and
elsewhere 1t appears that various
agencies in Russia and Czechoslovakia
are urging atheistic principles on all
who will listen in the latter country and
Germany, and they predict that there
will be 100000 atheists in Europe
within four years. Preparations are be-
ing made to launch the campaign in
France, Italy, Hungary, and even In
England.
Figures recently published show there
are now 100000 atheists recorded in
Russia, comprising membership in 40,-
600 groups under the name Of the Mill
tant Goddess Alliance" Lectures are
being delivered in Russia and Germany
against religion, and even the Socialists
in the latter country are taking up the
work. Much literature along similar
lines is being distributed.
It Is difficult to understand why any
group should be so anxious to destroy
in mankind the hope Of future life.
Even If one individual does not him
self believe in spiritual existence after
death, it can do no harm to him II
others hold such beliefs. Furthermore,
religion tends to make men better citi-
zenS. It tends to make them better hus-
bands, fathers, neighbors. 1t makes
them more honest, more likely to follow
high principles, and, for earthly reasons
strictly, religion Is benedcent influence

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
How many of us are inarticulate?

How many Of us are inarticulate?
Despite the fact that the majority
Of human beings in these United States
know how to read and write, most of
them may be said, in all honesty and
truth, to be almost voiceless.
Unable to speak their real thoughts,
we mean, to send forth their honest
convictions, their deepest feelings.
A hundred things conspire to achieve
this. We are held back by an anciently
implanted fear to show our emotions
or by genuine non-desire to show
off," We sometimes envy those happy
persons who are unrepressed, as the
psychologists put it, and yet again we
are glad we are not as they are.
In any event, we are inarticulate, and
know it. The older we grow the more
We realize that we might perhaps be a
great deal happier in this world If we
possessed the ability to express our
selves as the characters in books do.
Many a man of today TI7o senses
the need Of prayer does not dare to
indulge in 1t.
He is less happy than Robert Louis
Stevenson, who wrote his prayers at
Vailima and who spoke them before
the assembled family.
Sometimes it happens otherwise
that the more man writes the less
he is inclined to speak out in meeting,
as it were.
Some OF the most close -mouthed
persons are writers. These you will
never find speaking their inmost
thoughts, not because they aim to be
mysterious, as the careless might think,
but mostly because they know better
than most the sacredness OF the inner
thought, and perhaps are held back
from a foolish timidity in revealing 1t,
except on paper, where they believe
they are impersonal.
X X \
Thus the root of the frailty of being
inarticulate, In the best sense. lies in
a failure to correlate the inner and the
outer lives.
Future generations, If they do not
become totally crude, will perhaps order
things better, for they will have it in
their power to be freed Of the older
repressions and at the same time to
hold fast to the best OF the ancient
emotions.
If the inner life Of every man could
be held fast to his outer life. without
sense Of fear or shame or any other
matter, such as too often has been in
bred to no good end, there would be
fewer men and women whol did not
possess the proper words at the right
moments.
And there would be fewer who would
refrain from expressing them at the
right time, for. after all. these far
outnumber the men and women who
know the right words to say, the proper
deeds to do, but who are held back by
the pull of their ancestry and training
from expressing their emotions in
public.

To talk, for your own and your

And keep you from getting In wrong.
The moments are precious - he'll

In an effort to show you at last
How glorious future you yet may

And avoid all mistakes Of the past.

And maybe you're missing your

And you don't understand half. the

The bill, which now seems likely to
pass the Massachusetts, State LeglSla-
ture, redistricting the State to meet the
requirements of the new apport1onment
of the National House, will eliminate
one of tv'0 veteran members OF Con-
gress from the Bay State. The bill
combines, in effect, the districts which
have been represented and are still rep
resented in the present Congress by
Representative Frederick w. Dallinger
and Representative Robert Luce, the
eighth and thirteenth districts respec-
lively. Both are Republicans. Dali
linger first came to the House about
16 years ago and Luce IL years ago.
Both have been prominent in the House.
Dallinger sought nomination to the
Senate, but lost to former Senator Gill
lett, whose term expired last March.
He was subsequently elected to the
House and reelected. There seems to
be an impression that Mr.. Luce will
be the Republican nominee from the
new congressional district and that Mr..
Dallinger will be eliminated. Both are
dry" members of the House from Mas
sachusetts, and the dryS have charged
that the redistricting bill was rigged so
as to lessen their representation in the
Massachusetts House delegation. Those
in charge of the bill counter with the
suggestion that If redistricting bill
is not put through and Massachusetts,
elects is members of the House at large
next year, the probabilities are that
all is will be "wet," If the results Of
referendums on the wet and dry issue
held In Massachusetts, IN recent years
are indicative of sentimt It. The vets
have won by large majorities in those
tests.
The redistricting bill passed the Massa-
