THERE'S A GOOD
ROAD
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
Suggested by the hotel barber At
Uhrichsville, Ohio.)

THERE'S good road north, and
L a good road south,
And good road east or west,
There's train at noon that'n leave
here soon,
If you like the railroad best.
So when someone says that there's
sonethin' wrong
With the town, the way it's run,
Then don't see why he don't say
good-by,
And go hunt for a better one.
If he says back home where he used
to live
That the town was simply great,
Well, I'd go back there if I had
the fare,
And if not, I'd flip a freight.
Or he's heard some town is a right
good town,
That it's got this whole place
beat;
Well, it can't be far if he's got a car.
If he amt, he's got two feet.
So if someone thinks that the towns
no good, !
l think he's. a fool to stay.
If he don't like what this here town
has got,
Then here's all ! got to say:
'FThere amt man that'n hold you
here
If you like some new place best:
North or south of town not a bridge
is down,
There's a good road east or west"

master General James A. Farley told
the National Federation of Post Office
Clerks today shorter work week in
the postal service had brought in
creased business and efficiency.
Il am convinced" he said at the
federation's annual convention. that
the United States postal service can
be and should be maintained from
its revenues. From the EMPLOYEES
viewpoint it seems most important that
income and expense balance.
ITO illustrate: Several years ago
when you were asking for the passage
OF shorter work week law and the
bills were presented to Congress. the
congressional committees asked for nv
recommendation. felt it
my duty to withhold approval until the
income of the department indicated
an upward trend sufficient to provide
the money. When the additional
money was in sight, I was most happy
to give my approval and so indicated
to Congress. You well know what
happened
In this connection I feel I should
say to you that We have been pleased
over the results obtained. More Jobs
were created; practically all of our
older substitutes we're put on the paw
roll regularly; efficient service has
been maintained, and the increased
cost am sure has been made up from
increased business and increased eff

SLAIN CHILDREN
ARE FOUND ALIVE
Boy and Sister Discovered
Near Home After Man
Admits Deaths
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, September T.
After a man had told police he
caused their deaths, Helen Whebley.
s, and her brother, Frank Whebley,
jr., 8, missing more than "a hours,
were found alive today near their
home at Second street and Susque-
hanna avenue, by their uncle,
William Dillon.
The children at first appeared un-
harmed, but DR.. John p. Turner, DO
lice surgeon, examined them and said
they had been attacked.
They told police they had stayed
with woman. who said she needed
children. They said they spent the
night at her house and were taken by
a man in an automobile to the corner
where they were found.
At first the children seemed uncon-
cerned, but when they saw their
parents both started to cry.
When the children were reported
missing last night police picked UP
a man who gave his name as Philip
krhl. He was questioned throughout
the night and today Mayor S. Davis
Wilson announced Krhl had told him
and police officers he caused their
death in Fairmount Park.
Mayor Wilson further said the man
had told different stories as to what
he did with the children's bodies.
An extensive police search was
started and while this was in progress
the children were found.
The children seemed unconcerned
when their uncle met them. They
told him they had been left on the
corner by some one who took them
there in an automobile.
Mayor Wilson took a personal in
terest in the case after the body of
Nancy Glenn, S, was found in a mud
hole in North Philadelphia last night.
The cause Of her death has not yet
been determined, but on the theory
that she had been murdered. Mayor
Wilson offered a reward of $500 for
the apprehension and conviction of
any person who may have been in
Volved in her death.
