THE POSTAL SUB-STATION When the addition to the post of- fice is constructed there will be no more need for the present parcel post sub-station on Court street. The intention is to house all local post office activities in the coming enlarg- ed structure. The sub-station has functioned perfectly since its use a half dozen years ago. Postmaster Erwin authority for the statement that the dispatch of parcel post mail from the local station vies with anything in the country, he has a speed challenge hung up that anybody on 1s and the vast circuit can shoot at. The local industries provide a tre- mendous amount of parcel post mail. Seventy-five per cent of the volume of mail going from the local post | office, the posunaster reports, is of this variety. Most of it originates in | the industries. They will be gratified that, so far as local handling of this mail is concerned, it is placed on the rails with dispatch When the present main post office on West Main street was built there was no provision made for parcel Dean Cross having challenged Mr. s to be find Rogers to public debates it hoped that the latter nothing to intervene.

SHORTSIGHTEDNESS An example of municipal sightedness is the toy bridge span- ning the New Haven railroad tracks short- at Corbin avenue. Approximately 14 years ago, when the bridge was built, the city allow- ed the railroad to plead such dire | poverty that it consented to the con- truction of a bridge half the width | of the street. Incidentally the bridge was not so strongly built as should have been the case. | “The city was an casy mark at the ! time; and now look at the structure!

These depressions were from 1880 to 1884; the panic of 1893; the panic of 1897; the depression between 1912 and 1914; and the depression of 1921, : The record of the elections during these depressions are as follows: “That in 1882 changed a Republi- can plurality of 22 in the House to a Democratic plurality of §1. It is us- ually ascribed to resentment against the newly enacted high tariff and bad business conditions. That in 1894 changed a cratic plurality of 94 in the House to a Republican plurality of 142.

The Republican party was con- | | tinued in power. The 1914 depression resulted in | i the reduction of the Democratic | | plurality in the House from 163 to | 35. But the Democrats gained five | seats in the Senate. Crops were good, | with high prices for wheat and corn, low and President Wilson supported a “buy a bale of cotton” movement. By the time of the midterm elac- tions of 1922 business was slowly re- covering from the previous year's de pression, but the Republican plural- ity was reduced in the House from 165 to 15. 1t is logical to conclude, fore, that the Republican party is due to suffer considerable in the election next month. Tt Is significant that “Hoover prosperity” has become a byword, and though Republican spokesmen everywhere are empha- sizing that the depression is “world- wide” that will have very little effect upon the ientality of voters in doubtful states. They were brought up during recent years to expect nothing but prosperity under a Re- publican regime regardless of what there- was happening in other countries, and the President himself in his campaign addresses took pains to announce we were ahead of every- body in our system of government | and that we were further advanced than all-others in the elimination of poverty. & 1t is a sad outlook for the grand- oldparty; but it is one of its own | Tts incessant ‘“‘prosperity” “full dinner pail” home to plague | making. preaching doctrine has come the party managers.

While there are many such ccmmunities along Pelham Park- way and far reaches of Long Island, fhe biggest squatter village sprawls topsy-turvily near Surf Avenue at Coney Island. Here are more than 300 shacks of tin cans, driftwood and salvaged boxes. Entire families live in this turgid tranquillity without paying rent. They have their own laws and in instances appoint Mayors to set- tle disputes. In time they become incredibly filthy. And like Kasper Hauser, in his dungeon, will live no where else. Squatter’s land is usually property purchased for speculation and is held in hope of realty booms. As a rule there is nothing that can be harmed and the owners offer no ob- jections to invaders until a boom comes. - Harlem, 35 years ago. was clut- tered with squatters—"Macfadden Flats” with rusted tin can chimneys and moldy straw roofs.

She had saved letters of a long ago sentimentality for a “rainy day” and when the producer married made him pay—hence the black-list. Even sin-satiated Broadway has its code. Nothing s so baffling as those moments of cerebral hiatus—if you manage that one your future is as- sured—that come to unfortunates of the writing fraternity. This morning in the midst of a chin cupping pose and a dog-scratching-a-flea look of vacuity the phone gave a startling ring. A soft voice inquired: “Why are you so worrled, darling?” It was someone getting a wrong num- | ber but I'let go in a set of flutters that were a beauf. There was another time in a Rouen,: France, hotel when 1 rang for a breakfast waiter, When [ started to hand him the written or- der we both gave a quick start. A month before he served my before- sailing breakfast in New York as well as other breakfasts for years. Iz is a small world, 'but it doesnt have to be that small for goodness sake.
