POSTAL RECEIPTS
TURN UP IN JUNE
Revenues in Capital Above
Record for Previous
IL Months.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Postal receipts at the Washington
City Post Office in June totaled $780,
SOL, good-sized increase of $34, 4,S5497,
or 6.19 per cent over June, 1887, it was
learned today. The figures reverse the
May situation when the monthly re-
port showed small decrease from the
like 1887 period.
Post Office officials were much
pleased with the months results. The
June report will be received with more
than ordinary interest as postal rev.
enues are always considered as an ex-
cellent barometer of general business
conditions. The turn may be the be-
ginning of an upswing in postal re-
turns that will last during the remain
der Of the year.
With the end of the Governments
fiscal year, a comparison of postal
earnings in the Capital for the last
IL months reveals a gain over the cor
responding period year ago. The in
crease, however, is small, S6,456. Pos
tai receipts amounted to 1895, 1913 in
comparison with $7,388,672. Monthly
cOmpariSOnS follow.

England Seeks Friends

If we won't play with England, Hitler or Mussolini will. And just now the lat ter is mellowing in that quarter. Sena- tor Borah, who has followed foreign af- fairs closely for many years, may be right when he says: q believe the British gov ernment has come to the conclusion that an arrangement with the United States is impossible because the American people won't allow it. As result, she has under taken to find friends where she can, and if she succeeds in making an agreement with Italy it will drive a wedge between Italy and Germany"
 We Americans don't want any truck with the Italian dictator. He has out ragged too many things we bileve in. And most of us think less of the British gov ernment for making terms with him. But Britain is in tight place. We can't pledge her military or naval support we don't do that sort of thing any more for anybody. But if we don't give her and the British dominionS moral support and reasonable amount of economic and diplomatic cooperation, we can't blame them for making friends where they can.

Time Is Good Judge

It is increasingly evident that the cam. paign to smear the admlnlStratlon or Mayor Frank Hayes, as well as indlVld- uals or concerns which had any dealings or connections with it has fallen down ln many places. AS the days goes by It may come to pass that many of the "lurld' sins which are being intimated will prove to be quite natural. We need only to cite a few instances of last week to show what we are getting at. In short everything that is charged against Mayor Hayes, tor- mer Controller Daniel J. Leary, and others must be substantially backed up III the future if it is not to be placed i'll the same category with the "trumped-up' charges.
 Time always makes people see things much more clearly. In the heat ot the day 1t is very easy to make any story souna convincing. In the cool of the night the ln- dividual often thinks back ana sees wherein he was led astray or where ms reasoning was affected by his emotions. If the present efforts to give Wateroury "good government" are to meet With complete success they must not be coupled with anything that savers ot moo hysteria People should not be expected to be rushed into political upheavals un- less the purpose is purely political. where 1t is supposedly for the public interest the process should be deliberate and orderly.
 The case against the former controller, too, is something that only the courts can tell whether drawn up as civic or pollt- ical gesture. On the one hand is quoted charter regulations making the official financially responsible; on the other those compelling the city to honor its just debts whether they come under the heading of departmental expenditures, regularly pro- vided for, or over-appropriations. It is hard to find precedent whereby the ot- fcial is blamed for over-expenditures and certainly the state never attempted to do so in piling up it's present $12,OO0,OOO deficit.
 The situation is one in which presenta- tion of facts and arguments must be con- fined to definite sphere. 1t IS not political one. Failing in this we can only conclude that opponents of Mayor Hayes and his administration are still disposed to accept anything that will "smear"

Anti-War Petition

America is nation of petltlon-Slgners. You can always get at least few people to sign petition for practically anything to nominate Joe Doakes for dog catcher or to demand reduction in the tariff on mother-of-pearl collar buttons - and the ordinary petition has life as brief and as insignificant as that of the May fly. But once in blue moon there is an excep- tion Four if you can get enough people to sign your petition - so many that you can number them in the millions - then your petition is no may fly at all, but something that gets attention in car load lots. Such petition is being circu- lated by the Veterans of Foreign Wars 3 petition calling on Congress and the President to keep the United States out of war.
 The V. F. w plans to circulate these petitions through each of its $500 posts throughout the country. It is seeking the aid of newspapers, radio stations, civic clubs, women's organizations, churches, fraternal groups, and so on. It hopes to get 25,000,000 Americans signed up on demand that Congress let the rest of the world fight its battles without American help. There can be little doubt that this petition, whether it gets it's 25,O00,000 signatures or not, pretty accurately re- fleets the feelings of the people of the United States For although public opinion can be hard to gauge, there is one thing - the overwhelming desire of the American people to keep out of war about which there can be no doubt.
 Nor can there be any doubt that such a petition, backed by that great weight of names, would have profound effect on the people who run our government No administration and no Congress would dare flout wish expressed as unmistak- ably as that No propag gandist anxious to get us into foreign war would get far, trying to stem such current Get those 25,OOO, 900 signatures and your guaran- tee peace for America as far as peace can be guaranteed in this highly uncer- tain world.

Senator Francis T. Maloney attempted to Hay ghost" last Friday night when he
 spoke over the facilities of the Columbia Broadcasting system on his bill to reg ulate over-the-counter markets. He charg- ed that opponents of his measure and those who have little regard for the Se- curities and Exchange Commission are trying to dig up opposition when they claim that eventually the Exchange will control municipal financing through it's control over companies dealing in munic- ipal bonds. In no uncertain terms Sena- tor Maloney said, "At this point let me lay ghost. The bill does not, in any way, di- rectly or indirectly, undertake to control or regulate municipal financing Under the bill municipalities could proceed un- hampered by Federal control or super vision to do their financing. :" All of which show that dealers in securities are extremely wary of any type of regulation and will do almost anything to avoid it.

Selected Poem
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?


 (By George Macdonald in the Boston Post Where did you come from Baby dear? Out of the everywhere into here. Where did your eyes get so blue? Out of the sky as came through. What makes the light in them sparkle and spin? Some of the starry spikes left ill. Where did you get that little tear? found it waiting when I got here. What makes your forehead so smooth and high? soft hand stroked it as I went by. What makes your cheek like warm white rose? I saw something better than anyone knows. Whence that three-corner'd smile of blissP Three angels gave me at once kiss. Where did you get this pearly ear? God spoke, and 1t came out to hear. Where did you get those arms and hands? Love made itself into hooks and bands. Feet, whence did you come. you darling things? From the same box as the cherubs' wings. How did they all come just to be you? God thought of me, and so grew. But how did you come to us you dear? God thought of you, and so l am here.

Reames is one of the most suc- cessful business men in Oregon. But until he took the Senate seat vacated by Senator Steiwer the other day, he had never been successful in his life's chief ambi- tion-to reach the top in politics.
 Reames once ran for Congress to fill the seat made vacant by the death of his father-in-laW, Representative Thomas Tongue, but was defeated. Again, he as- pired to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals but lost out to Bert Haney, formerly of the Shipping Board. When ReameS tried for a vacancy on the Federal District Court, his friend Claude McCol- loch, head of the Oregon Demo- cratic Committee, was appointed in his stead.
 During some forty years of would-be politics, the only job which Reames ever achieved was that of district attorney for four Oregon counties.
 Meanwhile, however, he got control of the Deep Gravel Min ing compar~ became president of the Three Pines Timber company and built up one of the most luc- rative corporation law practices in the state-which baked him when he aspired to public office.
 Reames' term expires this
 coming November and he has
 agreed not to run again. Now
 that his life's ambition has
 been attained, he will step
 down from the Senate.

UMBRELLAS FROM sPoNGEs
(New York Sum

NA'S" NA@~ OS,--(
 The recent Paris exhibition of sur realiSt art brought to the foreground a definition of surrealism itSef. Most of those who have seen various manifestations of surrealism would say that it defied definition, but M. Andre Breton, one of its pioneers, has expressed it all in these words:
 Everything induces the behet that there exists a certain stage of the spirit in which life and death, the real and the imagin- ary, the past and the future cease to be perceived in contradiction. It would be vain to find any other motive in surrealism than the hope of determining this stage.
 Vain indeed it would be to seek other motives in such examples as Paris furnished. An open umbrella made entirely of sponges would seem to mark the stage ill which life and death cease to be a contradiction. A painting of an enormous soda wa ter siphon in a desert with a fried egg in one corner and a 10-frenc piece and peanut ill the other would seem to make the past and the future well reconciled, if not even scrambled. A padded stool with it's four legs covered with silk stock ings and it's four feet with high heeled shoes might stand for some sort of contradiction abolished. M. Breton missed one obvious index. Surralism suggests strongly a stage of the spirit in which seeing and not seeing are no longer ill contra diction.

The Lure of Life in the Family
BY BRUCE CATION


 Emerson hitched his wagon to a star. Bronson Alcott hitched his to Emerson. Alcott's daughter, Louisa, with much less of philosophy and much more of the practical ability of focusing her lower-gauged pow CTS, stayed firmly on earth amidst all the Concord transcendentalism, but reached far greater public.
 Katharine Anthony - in Louisa May Alcott" (Knopf: $3) - thinks Louisas genius was greater than her fathers. She says that what was damned up in him by the responsibilities of family life came out in Louisa in full flower. Twentieth century readers would, we believe, omit any mention of genius where Louisa is concerned, but most of them would admit a warm spot in their hearts for the author of Little Women"
 Because her books have been beloved it is right that there should be a faithful, well-written biography written for those be- yond adolescence. Miss Anthony does a good job, re-creating the tomboy Louisa and the viciSsi- tudes of the Alcott family, the forging and reforging of those family bonds which makes their story strike a response in every home loving American.
 Louisa was not so provincial as her books might lead us to be- lieve. Born in Germantown, the family early moved to Boston, thence to Concord and the New Eden and Brooke Farm communi- ties. Later she was mildly lion- ized in Boston and New York, entertained widely in London, loved a little by young Pole in Paris.
 She accomplished most of what she set out to do - establish her family in comfort. finally even in luxury.
 One thing she very much wanted to do but could not: she wanted to write a literary" novel. It seems sch recognized her own shortcom- ings better than her biographer.- D. s. E.

State Commissioner of Domestic Anil malS Edwin R. Dimock has issued a timely warning to all dog owners to watch their pets at this time of the year. He made plea that they be kept out of woodlands in the next few months unless they are on leash or accompanied by the owner. This is apt to make one wonder until the con- miSsioner's reason is stated. He points out that this is the season of the year when many species of wildlife bring forth their young. Deer and game birds in particular become the prey of dogs which simply follow animal instinct in chasing them. A little restrain by owners will save many an animal and bird whose destruction is wanton and unnecessary
