the main line of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway, blocked by the de-
railment of six cars of the A. c. LIS
New York-to- Florida passenger
train, "the Miamian," miles south
of Richmond.
North and south-bound traffic over
the line was rerouted over a Smile
bypass, usually used only by freight
trains.
The last five cars and the rear
truck of the next car were derailed.
Only 10 minutes out of Richmond,
the 12-car train was travelling at a
moderate rate of speed. None of
the cars overturned.
J. G. Wilkins, A. c. L. roadmaster,
of Rocky Mount, N. c., who was on
the train, said after a check that
no one was seriously hurt.
Mrs Edward A. Walsh of New
York City received first aid treat
ment for what doctor on the train
described as nasty bruise" on
the back.
A railroad official said Mrs. Walsh
was transferred with other passen-
gers to the forward coaches of the
train which resumed the southwark
trip about three hours after the
derailment.
A railroad official attributed the
accident to a broken rail.

cents and other grains fraction

to reflect revived investment and

Wheat was the highest in about
three weeks and some contracts of
other grains were around best levels
for the past two or three months
with all quotations near peaks since
1887.
Evidence of producers reluctance
to market substantial amounts of
grain at prevailing prices in view of
the war situation and ceiling levels
was the fundamental bullish trade
factor. Shipping business in corn
continued brisk.

Grafton of schools and drastic
shortening of the IL years ordinarily
required to go through grade and
high school have been proposed by
Western educators as the result of
the war emergency.
Virtually all the major instltu-
tions of higher learning in the West
are adopting or planning short cuts
to education.
Because enrollments generally
have been reduced 10 per cent or
more by the movement of young
men into national service, some in
stitutions or higher learning are
making special efforts to attract
students.
The suggestion of a 2ls COL
lege term was offered by H. T. Con-
don, dean of students of the Uni
versity of Washington. He said it
could be done by adoption of the
six-day week and expansion of the
summer school curriculum.
DR.. Lee Paul Seig, president of
the university, advocated a tele-
scoping of grade and high school
as we'll as college years.
Stanford, the University of Cali
fornia. and other large institutions
already have laid plans for a short
ening of some courses to three years.
Virtually all schools of higher learn
ing have arranged to operate longer,
either by holding classes regularly

The Greenbelt Company of

new phase in it's training pro-

Field when close order drill gave

mentary School) for a review of
the presenting of the colors which

Choice Offered Residents
Cards will be delivered to each

July 2, to be filled in by the head
of the house informing the postal
authorities as to preference for
home and box delivery, said Mr..
Bryant. He added that good rea-
sons must be offered for the main
tenance of boxes, since the space
now thus occupied will be needed
by the postal deliverers for filing
cases and work tables.
The present staff, composed Of
Mr.. Bryant, postmaster; Mrs.
George w. Bryant, Mrs. Ella
Davis and Mrs. Thomas Clark
will be increased by the employ
ment of another clerk and two or
more route men. The latter will
be increased as the town expands
with the occupancy of the remain
ing 704 defense homes. Office
hours will remain the same, ii
was announced, though the indi-
vidual clerks will not work as long
as previously. A postal regula-
tion prohibits second-class posta'
employees from working longer
than eight hours per day.
Slots Present Problem
Stating that there is a postal
regulation requiring mail slots to
be at least 80 inches above the
floor, Mr.. Bryant said that many
homes in "D" block have slots ap-
proximately 6 inches from the
floor. Two alternatives exist, he
said. EITHER individual residents
will be required to put mail boxes
in proper places, or the town will
have to change the location of the
slots"
The change in bookkeeping
methods involved in the grade
raise will necessitate the supervi-
sion of postal inspectors for a few
days, said Mr.. Bryant. Details
will be ironed out after inspection,
