 At time when deserving demo- crats' are clamoring for jobs and democratic politicians are conduct ing Intensive searches for nests of Republican job holders to smoke out, the President asks for legisla- ton that will remove more than 15,000 postmasters from the politi- cal rosters.
 He has signed an executive or der requiring examinations of all applicants for postmasterships un- less they were already qualified or regularly commissioned.
 He has requested Farley to draft necessary legislation for submission to Congress next year making the change permanent by law.

Which?


 The question that interests poli- tical observers now is this: Does the administration propose, between now and the time the suggested change becomes law to pack in as many Democrats as it can into post-mssterships? Or, knowing that where one appointment is made, perhaps half a dozen enemies re- suit, is the administration looking for an easy way of handling this problem?
 It's no secret that the average member of Congress would gladly sign away his claims to patronage if he could do so with impunity It often makes for them many more enemies than friends.
 So while at long range this pro- posed patronage operation might cause the patients to become pam icky. after it is once performed, many of them may breathe fervent sighs of relief

WE'RE GROWING OLD
(Author not KNOWN

When our rheumy eyes keep dropping
Like an old Saint Bernard hound,
And our glasses never fit us,
No matter how they're ground,
When our once abundant hair crop
Disappears as in q night,
While its color turns from darkness
To Heaven-born silver white
We're growing old, boy; devilish old!
When we try to put our uppers
Where the lower ones should be,
When no more we eat late suppers
And we even cut out tea,
When the past keeps rising upward
Like the bubbles on q brook,
And we hover near the cupboard,
Just to see what we can hook
We're growing old, boy; devilish old!
When our legs commence to tremble,
And our shuffling gait is slow,
And we fancy we resemble
What we looked like years ago,
When Imagination wanders
Back to childhood's happiest day,
While our best friend deeply pcnders
How we ever got that way
We're growing old boy; devilish old!

FRANCE ACQUIRES
SEAPLANE HAVENS
Takes Possession of Seven
Tiny Coral Islands in
China Sea.

PARIS Up).-France has added 247
acres to her colonial empire by taking
possession Of seven tiny coral islands
in the China Sea between French
Indo-C China and the Philippines.
Explorers report they are of little
value commercially but that they sur
round lagoons which would afford har-
bor facilities for seaplanes, submarines
and small naval craft.
Isles Long Unclaimed.
The islets, harboring thousands of
birds and handful of Chinese fisher
men, are marked on the maps as Tenn
pest Island. ftu Aba, Loaita, Thi Tu,
Amboyne Key and Twin Isles.
They had been unclaimed by other
powers since their discovery in 1867.
although japanese had tried to exploit
guano deposits on Itu Aba in 1925.
The French found traces of this old
industry
Formal proclamation of the islands
as French territory was made by sailors
from the naval dispatch boats Astrolabe
and Alerte. They hoisted the French
flag on each sandy mound, presented
arms while buglers blew the colorS ana
buried bottles containing the state
ment that henceforth the islands be-
longed to France.
Turtle Meat Bartered.
Human beings were found on only
four of the islands. On Tempest, Thi
Tu and the twins" Chinese from
Hainan welcomed the sailors. They
seemed to be living happily in the
midst of banana and cocoanut trees,
sweet potato fields and turtles, whose
flesh they dried and sent to the main
land in exchange for rice.
The islands, after their discovery by
the photographic ship Rifieman in 1857,
lay neglected for nearly so years. Ma
rine maps marked the area as a dan
gerous, unexplored region" because
ships had struck the coral reefs and
sunk there in attempting to follow a
direct line from Indo-China to New
Zealand.
