IT HERE will be many to mourn the death in New

far-fung charities and lifelong devotion to the in
terests of his brought him the gratitude of
berless beneficiaries and the admiration of less
gifted in giving His contributions to the resettement
in Russia of destitute Jews of Eastern Europe and to
the restoration of Palestine as Jewish homeland,
were constructive in the best sense.
In business he exceptionally successful. A pa

3 Cents and Efficiency

POSTMASTER GENERAL FARLEY assured the
National Association of Postmasters in San Fran
cisco yesterday that while he expects postmasters to
cooperate in effectng economies the efficiency of the
postal service and the welfare of its workers are to be
put ahead of penny -pnching.
Mr.. Farley is right. Economy is important, but
service given the public is more So 1t would also be
brutal to economize at the expense of employees who
underpaid and overworked, from the carrier who
brings the mail to your door through the vast organ
ization which places it in his hands for delivery.
Mr. Farley announced further that until the postal
establishment reaches maximum efficiency there will be
reduction in the present ftcass letter rate of three
cents Again he is right. We wouldn give three cents
for any other kind of service.

Girls, Relax

It's all right for women to
come into their own in the busi-
ness world and in the career
field, but I think a great many
of them are forgetting a most
important thing. Despite ambi-
tions, women Of this country
should definitely rest more than
they do.
The practice of an afternoon
nap for milady was popular
years ago but seems to have gone
out with the horse and buggy
era.
In their anxiety of getting
ahead in business, many forget
about their health.
On the other hand, the aver.
age woman is "too busy"-and
if, by chance, through her neg
lect she does become a little
stout, she Immediately starts to
undergo vigorous exercises and
forgets about rest all the more.
MY contention is that women
should rest more. They don't
have to give up business-but
they should try to learn to relax.

Marry-GO-
Round
By HELEN ROWLAND

A mans greatest feat is his
capacity for escaping boredom.
He is born with a determine
ton NOT to be bored! And that
is something which every woman
envies him.
A woman, on the other hand,
spends three-quarters Of her life
just permitting herself to be
BORED. She meekly accepts
all the tiresome, monotonous,
humdrum tasks as her portion,
and then adds a few more irk-
some ones to them.
Few men will allow ANY
woman to bore them. Before
marriage, man will dodge a
tiresome or unintereSting woman
as he would the plague or a
creditor. And no hostess can
force him to be attentive to a
dull girl for more than three
minutes. His agility in eluding
a "washout" is a positive gift!
After marriage, if he finds life
monotonous, he promptly in
vents excuses for getting out Of
the house. He joins a club or
a lodge, goes in for golf, horses
or blondes or spends his eve
nings down at "Pete's place"
playing pool with "the boys"
But he WON'T sit at home and
be bored!
A woman, on the contrary,
deliberately lets herself IN for
boredom. She will encourage
the attentions Of a lot Of men
who bore her to tears, just in
order to give the impression
that she is popular.
She will listen brightly for
hours while an egotist talks
about himself. And she will
dance with a moron who walks
all over her feet, just in order
to have one more cut-in on her
list.

Supreme Court and Politics

NJ EWS reports this morning point to the fact that

committee for two trips to Detroit and Cleveland last
March to promote the Presidents Court reform bill.
Interesting and undoubtedly true
Likewise: Justice Sutherland member of the
Republican national committee, chairman of the Repub
lican State committee for Utah, Republican Repre-

the Republican State committee for Wyoming and ac
cording to Frank Mondell, former Republican Repre-
sentative from Wyoming, continued to be active in Re
publican politics after he had attained the rarefed

con the 5th of May 1918' writes Mr.. Mondel in his
memoirs Il was invited to Senator Warren's office
and there met the Senator and mutual friends JUS

Justice McReynolds was Democratic candidate for

In fact it is almost impossible to find any period in
American history, beginning with Chief Justice John

enemy, Thomas Jefferson, when both the complexion

Anyone Can
Write a Column
YOU CAN WRITE A
COLUMN!
But only columnists write a
column! Wrong again! Any
one can write a column. 1t
doesn't require special educa-
tion, nor special preparation or
position, to write a column.
Anyone, anywhere, can write a
column out of the common
makings of their daily life. All
that is needed is
A willingness to turn from
yourself, empty yourself, forget
yourself entirely
And think of the Other
Fellow
Seeing him as he really is, and
his problems as they really are,
without bias
Then setting the picture down,
day by day.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO
A COLUMN. JUST A RECORD
OF LIFE As-IS, WITH ALL
THE JUICE LEFT IN AND THE
PREJUDICE LEFT OUT.
Look at any great columnist
who has the power to open your
heart and stir your imagination.
"Odd" Mcintyre, for instance.
Odd doesn't fill his column with
strange or rare happenings. He
puts down the common sights
which anyone might see-the
homely walks which anyone
might take-the plain problems
which anyone might feel.
And out of those simple,
familiar experiences, he created
a column which cheers and
comforts millions daily.
There's no magic in Odds
column save this-he is able to
forget himself and accept life
and pass it on, in all its fresh
ness and vigor and poignancy.
Began Living
His Colmun
odd didn't LEARN tn a t
column Of his-he LIVED it.
He trained himself to look at
life that way. He was frightened
and lonely, pennilesS and heart
sick to the point Of suicide, as
he has told us. He knew that
he had to get out Of that mood
or kill himself. AND so
ODD BEGAN LIVING HIS
COLUMN. BEGAN FORGET
TING HIMSELF BY LOOK
ING AT LIFE. AND so
FOUND HEALING.
"He who would save his life
must lose it," That is the
greatest truth in life. It is the
one sure answer to every hurt
and bewildered spirit. If you
want to escape your despair-if
you want to heal your hurt
FORGET YOURSELF, LOSE
YOURSELF IN THE LIFE
AROUND YOU.
Odds column was his escape.
Back of every really great and
gripping column is the struggle
of some man. some woman, to
escape some cruel pain or fear.
And now YOU want to "get
away from things? There's
your answer-WRITE A
COLUMN. Start today facing
life as Odd Mcintyre faces it
and a dozen others I could
name. FORGET YOURSELF
AND LET LIFE DO A JOB ON
YOU.
Will a publisher accept your
column? Probably not. But
that isn't the point. If you'll
turn columnist" you'll find
something far more precious
than cash-YOULL FIND

TRANSIT PROBLEM
AROUSES CITIZENS
Will Take Steps Asking
Probe of Public Utilities
Commission.

Definite steps seeking improved
street car service and elimination OF
one-man cars from District streets If
possible seem imminent, with several
business and civic organizations al
ready preparing a congressional in
vestigation of the Public Utilities
Commission.
At its last meeting the Southeast
Business Mems Association passed a
resolution requesting congressional
investigation of the commission for
the last year. The resolution stated
that If the committee found the COM
mission incompetent as to the duties
performed for the good of the public
President Roosevelt be asked to re-
move them from Office. Since this
drastic action, the Federation Of Busi-
ness Mems Associations has Endorsed
the Southeast resolution and the
Dahlgren Terrace Citizens Associ-
alton has passed a similar resolution.
Further condemnation of present
street car service is seen in the action
of the Federation of Citizens Associ-
ations and the Washington Central
Labor Union in appealing in District
Court the refusal by the Public Utili-
ties Commission to reconsider its au-
thorization to the Capital Transit Co.
to operate 40 additional one-man
street cars. The appeal is still pend
ing.
Numerous citizens associations and
business organizations in both the
District and the communities OF Mary
land and Virginia affected by local
street car or bus transportation have
rendered opposition to the service
Latest of these organizations to fall
in line protesting the cars is the In
terfederation Conference Of the Dis
trict and Prince Georges. Arlington
and Montgomery Counties. They
branded the cars and buses as being
"insanitary."
Support of the organizations oppo-
sition to service, and particularly one
man cars, can be seen in q "poll'
which shows 10 civic organiza tions
opposing and only 3 favoring the one
man car.
