POSTAL ECONONY URGEDBY MRS Postmaster General Issues Orders to Effect $15,- 000,600 Saving. Postmasters of the country - ‘reln-) Etructed today by Postmaster General Hays to exercise “the most rigid econ- omy” in the administration of their offices, to be accomplished by closer and more efficient supervision. While aiming at extravagant and expensive methods which crept in dur- s the war, positive instructions are n to postmasters to Keep con- & stantly in mind that the service must not be curtailed or impaired. New Program. Postmasters are asked to consider the revision of schedules of clerks and carriers; the shifting of forces from one section to another, according to the volume of work, and to arrange the work of the office so as to avoid the necessity for overtime work as well as to carefully scrutinize all mis- cellaneous expenses of their offices. gh such methods the postal i ve approximately ppropriations for as announced inj The Siar last Save on Carriers. Mr. indicates how approxi- mately $2.000,000 will be saved on t rvice without im- pairing There is to be immediate insp n of every car-| rier's and collector’s route and af checking up of the office time with a view to eliminating all lost time, equalizing the work and providing Tull eight hours’ service daily for every man.

Henry Darneille, the local police- man charged with conduct unbecom- _Ing an officer in engaging in a meuw' at Capitol Heights, Md., some weeks agzo. probably will await trial by the police trial board until the criminal s in Maryland against him are tled. Counsel for Darncille today told e board that he was outside of lo- . being in New York, | he could put in an appear- ithin the space of forty-eight | ‘The board indefinitely contin- | hours ued the case at the request of counsel | for Darneille. ke S e L | Looking Ahead ° o A man can’t see an hour ahead; in one brief hour he may be dead, from all his labors gone; life’s so uncertain none can say, “I'll see the finish of this day, and greet another dawn.” The citizen, in gorgeous health, goes forth to gather in some wealth, a buoyant, cheer- ful scout; he strides along the village Street, an airship drops a sack wheat, and he is flattened out. Oh, all varieties of doom are round about us, dumping gloom upon the human race; our lives we’re taking in our hand, wherever we may walk or stand, or .ride or dance or chase. And yet along our course we speed, as though our lives were guaranteed, for cighty-seven years; next year we will insure our lives, and save some money, that our wives may eat, if death appears. Next year, or maybe five years hence, we'll show we have some good horse sense, and salt some coin away; next year we'll tread the thrifty track and lift the mortgage from the shack— we're out for fun today. Thus reason multitudes of jays who look ahead to countless daysj that they may never see; no man who on this planet rides can safely bet one hour divideS| him from eternity. Let us be prudent, then, and wise, meet! obligations as they rise, and cancel every debt; if there are chores that should be done, oh, let us do them ere the sun of this bright day has set.

A blazing bucket of gfpoline in the oilroom of the Army station at Bolling Field today caused some con- cern at the post on account of its proximity to 1,000 gallons of oil used for lubricating machinery and motors. The blaze was, discovered and ex- tinguished within a few minutes, but the intervening period of time was long enough for an alarm to be sent into ‘the District fire department, 80 that all available fire protective &p- paratus would be on the scene in case the blaze gained headway. It is believed that sparks from a cigarette or a match ignited the gaso- line. If this occurred it was in viola- tion of one of the strictest rules of the station. —_— FALL KILLS AVIATOR.
