S.?Wijli orders to shoot to kill if necessary' to prevent mail robberies, 1,000 marines were ordered to duty today as guards of mail trains and trucks and f*i postofTccs in 15 cities. The men will be armed with pistols and sawed <xff alibi,Tims, Postmaster General Hays announced after a conference with GefteiYtl Lejeune. i A commandant of the marine corps. The ! marines are to be replaced .eventually, I he said, by a special forOe recruited j from the postal servlc^. Arrangements for th<* sert-i'de of the | marines, the postmaster general said, were made with the secretary, of the j navy. ' The matter was discussed at. today's cabinet meeting and President Harding is said to have expressed approval of Mr. Hays', plan to chepk looting of the mails. The postmaster general also an- ; nounced that, as a result of the reeeiit 1 New York robbery, orders had been is- ; sued suspending from the service three j New York postoffiee officials, Klijah , M. Norris, superintendent of mails; ; Henry Lippman, superintendent of; registry, and Walter S. Mayer, super- : iptendent of money orders. Some of the marines, General Kejconc said, would board trains tonight and within 24 hours would be on guard on pradHcally all trains in the country carrying valuable mail.' Men for duty in the east, south and west, he said would come from the marine corps post at Quantico, Va., while those for * service in the west would report from San Diego and Marc Island; Gal. Among the citiea trf which they will be sent for duty are Hoston, New York. Philadelphia, Cleveland, Kichmoiul, Atlanta, Chicago, St. liouis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, San i Francisco aiul Ixjs Angeles. Telegrams were dispatched, tonight hy the postoffiee instructing postmasters anil j postal inspectors at these points to j cooperate with tlie AUJjJds. Declaring that it tHs proposed to j protect the United States" mails 4"to the last postal card\egardlcss of cost! and sacrifice," Mr. Hays said he want- i ? rd It known that the postoffiee depart- I ment had declared "Open warfare on 'i - 7 i -.ii?if c . 7 (i " ;* At -one i at t ii > - * t IT IS fine lo he s response when jump your car ; just as necessary lo 1 on a low throttle.

During the 12 months ended last ; April 9, according to Mr. Hays, a total of $6,300,009 was stolen from the mails, | but in the six months following the I announcement that postal employes would be armed the total fell to $ys,!

The advisability of enacting* leg- ; i slat ion authorizing the government to pay death benefits to the families of postal employes slain by bandits is understood to have been discussed to- , day by the cabinet.

Mr. Daugherty ex- ( pressed the opinion that the wide- j spread unemployment was responsible for much of the crime in the country.' Men being out of work are more likely to break the laws than those em- ; ployed, he said. ? Mexicans Come for Chickens. -Some i interesting/conjecture made its round! here late yesterday as a result of reports that Francisco Villa, jiotorious bandit leader of Chihuahua, Mexico, was in this section of South Carolina, buying game fowls and lighting cocks from Col. Tobe Hester of Hester. Inf or mod /oiks, however, scoffed .at the < reports that Villa was at Hester re-J cbntly buying up the fighting fowls. It is a known fact that the bandit leader is a great fancier of line fow'.s ; and that lie has ridden miles aud miles j to witness a cock fight when he might have fought a hit himself with representatives of the Mexican federal government or with the troops of Ills hated Uncle Satn on this side of the Rio Orande. Two Mexicans did recently put in their appearance at Hester, however, to buy gnmb fowls, hut neither could j s|R'iik English with any fluency at ail. j Villa, on tin; contrary, is a master or ! the Anglo-Saxon tongue and can do1 anything from make a fairly good speech from it to cuss like a drunken sailor.?Anderson Tribune. ?

ARB OIL CO? (New Jersey) # * THE COST OF IGNORANCE Prospectors Throw Away a Fortune ! Because They Did Not Know. An interesting history attaches to a small package about two and a half inches square, which arrived in London early this summer. It weighed two and a? half pounds and was eagerly bought by an Amor- ; lean firm for $5,000. The package contained osmiridium (osmium and its alloy, jiridium), used for the tinninv of fountnin-por. points nnd for delicate hearings of fine machinery. The discovery of osmiridium, which is a'member of the platinum group of metals, constitutes an interestinj^ ro- j manre. Towards the or.d of last year a j small group of prospectors were wash- | , in^jr for gold in one of the river beds i SENATE T Upper House Would Leave Things as the Burden F The total tax, normal n\d surtax, wh dor the senate bill as compared with tin of a married person without dependen pared by the treasury exports.
