 New York.--Musical shows will come and go; girls will be glorified in gorgeous theatrical pageantry; thousands will thrill to flashes of producing genius which may have something of the Ziegfeldian touch. and the Follies themselves may be perpetuated, at least in name.
 But Broadway says there will never be another Ziegfeld. When he died the other day, long, long waY from the already gloomy Main Stem. he left place that can be filled only by memories and for while, at least, by the continuing success of his great ekt production, Show Boat"
 rlorenz Ziegfeld's name is still in lights over the Casino theater. And his revival of Show Boat" is gtill continuing to make. theatri- cal history. At his death he was believed to have been almost broke. but this revival, and pos sibIy others of his past successes, may yet enrich his estate. Broad way hopes so, for it loved the vain, stubborn, fiery, pessimistic and humorless old snowman.

|CURTAM LOCAL MAIL DELIVERIES

 tribution Here-Tem-
 pOrary Program
RECEIPTS SHOW SLUMP

A temporary change in the de- | livery service of the local post
 office curtailing deliveries to one
 and two daily instead of three as
 in the past has been put into ef-
 feet. it was announced this morn-
 ing by Postmaster Albert N. Col
 grove due to the government rul-
 ing that expenses of the depart ment be reduced as far as pos
 sible. When the volume of the mail warrants it, the old schedule will be restored.
 This change is in effect on the
 lightest days, but yesterday full service was given, which will be
 repeated again Monday. Curtail- ment of service during the month of June was essential, for there
 was a very noticeable decrease in the volume of mail.
 That the increased postage rates inaugurated July 6 will defeat their own purpose seem indicated when Postmaster Colgrove said the receipts for the month of July were 8.25 per cent less than in July @ year ago, and that business had dropped off considerably. Although he had no figures as to the decrease in the volume of mail, he said it might be in the neigh borhood of 30 per cent.
 Receipts last month were $33,- 828.26. Receipts in July year ago were $40,131.07. The decrease in revenue was $3,302.81.

CERMANY'S
 INCOME SHOWS
 SHARP DECLINE
Most of Reductions Due to Shrinkage of Pro.
 ductiOn

Berlin.-Accprding to recent es- timates, the German national in- come in 1891 was 22,75O, 900, ,00O marks less than in 1928. the year in which national income reached it's highest post-war level. totaiing 75.500.000.000 marks.
 More than 0S per cent of this reduction was due to the shrink age of industrial production, which was valued at 15,O0D, ,000, 900 marks less in 1881 than in 1928. Other sources of income showed a less precipitate fail. Thus, agrIcul- ture last year yielded 2.75O,OO0, 900 marks less than in 1928; trans- ports, 1,25O.OOO,0O0; wholesale trade 750,000,000; retail trade, t,000,000,000; housing 750,O0O,- GOO; administration, 5O0,0O0, ,000; sanitation, 500, ,00O,0 household services, 25O,OOO,O00 marks less than the 1928 figures for these branches.
 Real Income. s
 The real income of course, did not slump as much as the above figures suggest, because prices also have sunk, thus making good for part of the decrease in incomes. The real" loss to the German people is estimated at 1S,0O0, 0OO,- 900 marks instead of the nominal less of 22,750, OOO, ,O0O marks.
 The fall in income affected in. vestments much stronger than consumption. The German people consumed only per cent less in 1881 than in 1928, while industrial production was 3f per cent lower, even taking the fall in prices into account.
 Equipment Down
 While 7,250.00O,00O marks were invested in new plants in 1928, and almost half of this sum fin 1890, last year showed deprecia- tion of Germany's industrial equipment by 2S0,000,000 marks. This shows that many industrial ists. were unable or unwilling to replace their old or out.of.date machinery.
 Saving in 1881 has come to a standstill and part of the capital laid aside during the preceding years was used up. The loss of substance was valued at 8 to milliard marks. Part of this loss was due to heavy withdrawals by foreign capitalists. The German peoples own savings, however, also entered into this process. showing a decrease by approxi. mately one millard marks.

Postmaster A. N. Colgrove of this city need have no fear that his political activities in the coming state and national election will leave him open to attack or re-

 man. The latter issued an opinion on the extent to which postmas- ters throughout the country may
 go in campaigning for the g. o. p.
 candidates.
 So long as they make no effort
 to use the influence of their office directly, he said, Connecticut post
 masters may participate in the po-
 litical campaign this year without
 fear of reprimand. However,
 other postal employees and classi-
 fled civil service workers must keep
 clear Of politics. N % Coleman made this clear, declar- ing that the civil service commis-
 mission has wisely prescribed rules and regulations which prohibit po-
 litical activity of public nature on
 the part of any federal employe whose tenure in office is not sub- ject to political affiliations or

We'll see about that" The in

Butler, did you ever learn to

an experienced typist?"
mo sir, inspector. I never had

Some sergeants have to make out

keeper, and MIR. Lucas's 81. I want
you to do just exactly the same
thing that they did-sit down here

of the mysterious note. Do you
mind?"

paper into the typewriter for him
Then, laboriously, the sergeant be-
gan to pick out the letters of the
original note. When he had finish

The inspector looked it over, and
an expression of complete BATTLE
