TIlE Illv"E.RS There is no use in raising the war cr.y aghlinst the Shifters, tile new "se cret" society among the young -People. The less said about it or against it the better. Such mnovelents, organiza tions, synptomns or whatever you choose to call thlemn,- thrive on notoriety and criticism. There is nothing good about it and it has the evil teldelcy to breed familiarity between the sexes, but it won't last.

"Whlen there is no law against aar we can not even begin to enforce the' gr'eatest ,rule of' equtity between na tions, tile lawv of tile sacredness of life," saidl Judge Allen, who was the] first woman judge of a common pleas cou1rt in the United States.. "Those who rely completely uPonl a worldl eourt for achilevinlg peace forget that stuch a court can not a s~pwar until there is a lai.v fr tNr It Is so in our ordinary edkr t.' If I have before me the most hettni1ur derer, I can not try him, m'deh l'ess sentence him, unless there is a law defining and sproviding for the punish ment of the murdler. "Any fighlting, 'unless In self-defense between1 indi viduals is criminal; any killing unfless in self-defense, is mutrder. We have to make the world agr'ee that Inter national fighting, unless In .self-de fense, Is criminal -and Is murder." Judge Allen would ada'pt the modern code from the ancient and . make "Thou shalt not war" the basic prin ciple of the International law.

AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY The Dead Letter Office has been in existence ever since Ben Franklin started our postal service. Even then people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel Smithers, "Atlantic Coast," and ex pected Ben to know Just where Zeke lived. Perhaps they had Zeke's address in letters up in the garret, maybe a chest full of 'em, but then it was easier to let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters to John Smith, New York, N. Y., or Chicago, Ill., thinking Uncle Sam can locate him, which Is just as Incomplete as was Zeke's ad liress of yore. The Postoffice Depart ment asks you to put the number and street In the address. It helps you. How do you expect the Postal Clerk to know whether you mean Trinidad, California, or Trinidad, Colorado? ALWAYS SPELL OUT THE NAME OF THE STATIE IN FULL IN THE ADDRESS. "MORE BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT" This apt phrase was used In Presi dent Harding's first message to Con gress and applies particularly in postal management where postmasters are being impressed with the fact that they are managers of-local branches of the biggest bushness in tite world.
