More For Postmaster | Than Rabbit Sheriff (Special Correapontleftce) Washington, June 26.?More numerous than candidates for game warden in Kershaw county are applicant* for the postmastervhip at ( amden, it being indicated at the Civil Service Commission that sixteen applications have been filed. The papers, to be handled in regular routine, will be reached within two or three weeks and ruted according to their respective merits. Selection may bo made of one of the three highest op the j list, and the appointee will be commissioned for four years. The indications at present point with almost certainty to the re-election of the Democratic president now in office, and it is not prcibable that a Democratic, appointee would toe disturbed after Tours, so the position naturally may"too regarded as quite desirable, especially after the several recent lean years. If an appointment is made .within the next few weeks the one designated may not toe permanently appointed prior to the submission of the. name to the .Senate for confirmation which will be when Congress meets next January, unless possibly called in extra session before thut time. However, it is within the province of the Post Office Dopartment to make the appointment of . an acting postmaster^ to serve until a regular appointee can bo commissioned, and thut practice was very generally followed after the adjournment of Congress last year. * ? There are only two applicants for the post office at Wostville, where a Vacancy has occurred because of the death of the late postmaster. The office there is of the fourth class, and the appointee will serve indefinitely. being within the protection of the civil service regulations. An examination has been held, and the appointment will presumably be mado shortly. * * * * Associated with the late lamented Mendel I- Smith in the Department of the Judge Advocate General during the World war was Peyton Goidon. now a justice of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, and a warm attachment developed be-'l tween'them. Their careers were similar. each having been connected with he administration of justice in both civ:; and military life. Gordon prior to the war was connected with > the office of the I Wiled States Ay/>Vney here, ami is now on the heYrcfi. while Smith resigned as judge to render military service for his country. * * * * A Representative in Congress from Missouri, John J. Cochran, is this year running for the Senate, and one of hi.s claims for consideration is his proud boast that during his eight years in the House he has participated in every vote taken. His is an unique record, probably not equalled by any other member, and at least if any one else can boast likewise he is not making "his claim public so far as the .press is Concerned. ? During the recent past Republican administrations were plagued to a great extent by independent action in Congress on the part of members elected as belonging to their party. Particularly was this true in the .Senate, and two years ago a large contingent of Republican progressives bolted the nomination of Hoover, and aided very materially in his undoing. In the beginning of the present administration the Democrats in ' ongre-. went along without hesitation, hut there began to ho developed particularly among Senators a spirit of oppo-ition. feeble as \ct, and it is to be hoped that itfflvill remain so. Senator Carter Glas^of Virginia is the most notable example, he having been opposed in general to Roosevelt's financial and currency plans. Senntiii' M. 1). Smith has to some extent hern evincing a disposition to display and pu.-h certain ideas of his own as in opposition to the administration, hut he has not accomplished much. * * * * A b it which failed in the recently adjourned Congress was one to establish a national lottery, and if'timy :* said that it was never considered wry seriously * Its advocates cor. end that 'here is in human nature nr. innate instinct to gamble, and that is ju ? t a - w ell to affort a lega. tea:.-, a- otherwise unlawful nieth. i- will be resort,.,1 but ''n the bar. i it i- c >r*cr.ted that the ' an--- n ay he .-aid of ar y other detri.. . 1 human pa--.on >onie religv d - tv.e one has -aid that the eol in it r W ash r.gton rmgh' not > .f. . ga i their 1 .hefty without lot , ? -. w h * n 'A e' r f req ue n 11V in\ >k ed , nat:" -ovely needed money.

Of course all you have now, to he genuine, must have those decorations ?red and blue slivers of silk. These silk threads have (been used in paper bills for many years to make them wear longer. But now the Treasury Department has ordered the practice stopped. The 'Secret Service complained that it made the going all the easier for counterfeiters. The public had come to look upon the threads, the sleuths claim, as a mark of genuineness in paper money. Without examining the bills for other marks many a person has accepted bogus money simply because the counterfeiters wero clever enough to put in the silk threads. But all future issues of greenbacks will be without these threads. Incidentally, all the paper money now in circulation is to be gradually exchanged for a new kind of money. Under the present currency system Federal Reserved notes, the largest single type of paper money, bear the phrase "redeemable in gold on demand at the United States Treasury, or in gold or lawful money at any Federal Reserve Bank" when we all know very well the Treasury wouldn't exchange gold for them. This is tho main reason for undertaking to replace the billion or so pieces of paper currency outstanding. The total sum outstanding from the Treasury and Federal Reserve Banks is estimated at approximately $4,800,000,000 while the total amount of money in circulation is arouhd $5,400,000,000. It will likely take five ydvra to accomplish the planned replacement of the present money. And before the new money is put into circulation several billions of the present type currency will be issued to replace that returned from circulation through the banks because of soiled or mutilated condition making it unfit for further use. Thus Treasury officials point out that no money now in circulation will be recalled. The exchange will be made gradually through the replacement channel. Of course the "redeemable. in gold" clause will be loft off the new bills. The new money will contain instead: "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private, and is redeemable in lawful money at the United Stales Trea-ury or any Federal Reserve Rank." Silver certificates will be issued in denominations of $1, $5 anil $10, backed by the new policy of the purchase of all newly mined domestic silver. National bank notes will continue to be legal tender as will United States notes, but the latter will not be accepted for customs duties or in payment of interest on the public debt. Thus all paper money will be placed on Somewhat of an equal basis for the first time. Small denomination bills are already being produced in tho new type, (but the larger denominations will not be started before the end of the year, when the dies for them are finally completed. And all newly printed money is stored in the Treasury for a time to "season" before it is put into circulation.?The Pathfinder. gambling. fn the field of taxation among legislative bodies the tendency has been to "soak the rich," that is to make the rich 'bear as heavy a share of taxes as possible, but ,with this in view a lottery would be a poor method. The man of means does not need to gamble, and as a rule does not patronize a lottery. It is the poor who would take chances, and from whom would come the far greater part of the cost of tickets. After the adjournment of congress political discussion and agitation here >ubsided considerably, bpt there is still a plenty going on. In the numerous bureaus established during the past year and among others still in the beginning of organization many changes occur, and there is a constant stream of applicants looking for assignment in some government position, -soft and remunerative if possible, but something in any event.

WHY We Find Re?t I* Pooibtc Without Sleep Undoubtedly habit bus very much to do with the ability of uu Individual to sleep, Habits of going to bed too early or of eating Irregularly and wrongly will coinpltcutti matters.-* lie who Ijt-in the habit of waking at u certuln hour and of thinking that he cannot go to sleep probably will continue the habit. Not Infrequently an entire chunge of scenery and of routine will aid In correcting the condition. "A distinguished physiologist." says a writer In the Journal of the Indiana State Medical association, "has told us that he rarely or AiCver sleeps more than two hours In a given night. He, however, rests quietly In bed for ttv? or six hours of the night because he quietly and leisurely thinks about pleasant things that have occurred and are happening at the present time. He does not permit himself to brood over misfortunes or unpleasant situations. "The lure pf an attractive 'nestling thought' may enable one to pass hours almost us If they were minuted. The patient is not really asleep, but for all Intents and purposes he Is so. Probably his mind Is no more or possibly even less active than In the case when he Is dreaming u pleasant dream." o Why Unhappiness Makes Some People Truly 111 A possible physical explanation for the fact that iquny people are made 111 by being vtplmppy, rather than unhappy because they are 111, was suggested In a recent address In London by Dr. Lnngdon Brown, professor of medicine at Cambridge university. Says Dr. K. 10. Free, In bis Week's Science (New York) : "Like the majority of present-day physicians, Doctor Brown admits that he grew up In the purely materialistic school of medical theory which Insists that every disease must have a physical cause. Experience has convinced him that this Is not true. Purely mental distress may make a patient Just as truly ill ns a broken bone or a germ infection. Many people who have such mental Illnesses are unwilling to admit this fact and manufacture for themselves symptoms which really are tlginents of the imagination hut which spring from a desire to find a tangible reason for being sick."?Literary Digest Why "Bull" or "Bear" Market? Although these expressions are generally supposed to he American In origin. research shows that both were used in England before the revolution. "Bulls" in market terminology are, of course, those who operate to raise prices, and drive up the market, while bears are those who work to depress prices, particularly through the device of "selling short"?selling securities they do not possess at a price lower than the prevailing one so that they may buy at the lower price In time for delivery. We probably say "bear" because of the old saying, "Selling the skin before you have caught the bear," or trading something you do not possess. The buyer Is referred to as a "bull" perhaps for a euphonious distinction. or In allusion to the "drive" of a bull. Why Wool H Wane It Is the Insulating quality of wool which makes It desirable as a protective covering rather than any Inherent power to generate heat. Wool fibers In themselves offer little resistance to I heat transmission. The "kinks" or "waves" which are so distinctive a characteristic of wool give it Its protective qualities. These waves or kinks, of which the fibers have fro.m 2 to .10 to Die Inch, give something of the characteristics of a colled spring, and when the fibers are woven together tend to create a resilient fabric with innumerable tiny nlr pockets. It Is this finely divided and trapped air to which wool fibers owe their qualities of warmth. Why Say "Go to Halifax*' The weaving Industry of Halifax, England, was carried on In the workers' cottages In earlier days and the "pieces" were spread out on the hillsides. Theft became so common that what was known as the Halifax law came Into being. Under this law anyone stealing cloth to the vulue of more than 13 pence was liable to execution. In those days, therefore, to tell a man to "U.o to Halifax" was equivalent to telling him to go where he stood a good chance of being beheaded. Why It I* "The Netherlands" "The Netherlands" means the lowlands, the under lands, the bottom lands, tlie name referring, of course. to the untry's peculiar typographical I situation, considerable parts being he- I low the sea level It is by a lucre con- j \ . metr e of speech that the country Is | "the lowlands" rather than "lowland." The official name Is the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Why Say "Giving Short Shrift" "Shrift" in this expression refers to the act of shriving, the confession to a priest, particularly of a penitent and the consequent absolution. "Short shrift" was originally the short time allowed a criminal tor confession be fore he was executed. Thence any summary dealing or quick consideration. ? Why "Braggadochio" for Braggart? Braggadochio Is the name of n character In Spenser's "Faerie Queene." He was valiant with bis tonruc, but a great coward at haart. The Herman liner Dresden, 14,000 tons, carrying 1,000 holiday passengers, struck a rock in a ford near Haugensund, Norway, and was then beached. One vessel, the King Harald, took o^700 passengers, and other ships rescued most of the others. A few lives were lost. - The eugenics court at Hamburg, Germany, reports that sterilization operations have been ordered in 761 of 770 cases decided since the court opened early thi* year.
