THiS MAKES MR. HAYS HAPPY
His Policy of Humanizing the Post-
office Drpaitincnt Results in Cav-
ir g a Woman’s Life.
Washington.—Postmaster Will H.
Hays prohiilily is the happiest mci In
Wosliington today. ills s’o-an
“Hiiminii/.e the I’ostofUce Depart me it"
tins been carried out to what npp- .irs
tn lie the limit. Here is the story:
In n little Nebraska furmhous-' a
vitnan !:iy dying for'luck of modi - ill
Htteiitlcn. Tim nearest physician was
I'r. Sella id North Platte. True. North
Pintle was only two miles away, but
between the dying woman itnil the
physician was the Smith Platte river,
flooded Pi a raging torrent, thnt Imd
swept nuny every bridge near and
far
I*r. Selby had telephoned to every
l'«vn within a radius of twenty mites.
At each turn it was the same dis
heartening story—bridges gone and
no way nf fording the turbulent
waters.
.Tnsi when nil hope seemed gone,
hr Selby remembered something.
Somewhere he had read thnt the post
master general was “humanizing" Die
posfiifliee depnrtinent. He rushed to
Hie te'cplionp and nskPd C. A. Sluder,
niHimger of the air mall Held at North

“Sorry," sold Sluder, “but I couldn't

ington first."
‘Rut the woman Is dying." the phy-
•Ivlan urged.
In thnt nise," replied Sluder, "we
will lake von first and get the author-

Says Farmers Go Crazy
for Lack of Recreation
Washington. — One of the
reasons why you “can’t keep
cm down on the farm" wns ex
plained here at the seventy-
seventh annual convention of
the American Institute of Home
opathy.
More farmers go crazy every
year In tlacr United States than
any oilier class of citizenship.
l>c. .1. M. Lee of Itochester, N.
Y.. told the convention. Work,
worry and lack of recreation are
the muses.
Professional men—clergymen,
physicians and lawyers—are less
likely to go crazy, Dr. Lee snlil.
However, Dr. Lee warned,
don't lie too sure of yourself, for
insanity Is slowly but steadily
Increasing.

ROYAL SALUTE TO HERRING
Hungry Folk of Petrograd Welcome
With Cheers a Big Cargo of
Dutch Fieh.
Uiga. Honors such as arc usually
accorded to royalty or to officials
of 1*1 gh rnnk were given tlie Dutch
steamer Alexunder Polden wlitti it
arrived at Petrograd recently, says
the newspaper Izvestia of Moscow.
The steamer brought the first large
cargo of food thnt lias entered tlie
harbor for about three years, and as
It passed Kronstadt it was saluted by
the battleship Marat, while Russian
sailors lined the decks anil cheered.
The Dutch captain dipped Ids colors,
while the ship's hand played and the
vessel steamed direct to the pier
and began to unload its cargo of her
ring.
With years of starvation behind
them, dock workers, hy day and night
shifts, unloaded 5,350 barrels of the
shl|i's cargo so swiftly that the next
day twenty carloads of herring were
dispatched to Moscow, while tho rest
was left for distribution in Petrograd.
Only the day before the ship arrived
tlio Economic Life wrote as follows
about Petrograd:
“The fate of the city vis so tragic
that no comparison can he found In
Hie world's history. The Immense
mortality of Russia during the last
few years may be regarded ns far
more tragic than the full of Pompeii."
Since the Alexander Polden made
port two more steamers have arrived
at Petrograd, carrying 17,000 barrels
of herring, which were quickly un
loaded.

LOST: AUTOMOBILE WHEEL
Unescorted Nocturnal Tourist Give*
Police of Chicago Some Real
Worry.
Chicago.—A wheel rolled out in
front of the automobile of Fred W.
Brunts, 550 Surf street, and hopped
along at a merry clip northward in
Boul Midi. Mr. Brmils laughed, it
was peculiar to see a wheel wandering
about at that time of night unescorted
by any automobile. Mr. Brunts
sympathized wllh the motorist who
had lost the wheel, hut he didn't allow
his sympathies to dull his sense of
humor.
He heard a crashing of glass, the
clanging of a hell, the shriek of a
I’lirtiee ifhtslTt', ih(f clatter of' heavy
soled shoes on the pavement und a
few harsh commands.
Sir. Brunts stopped. His halt was
due portly to curiosity and partly to
the fact thnt he couldn't go any
farther. Something had anchored his
enr to Rundolph street. It coughed,
sputtered and listed to stnrbonrd.
Just ns the motorist got out to see
what might he the trouble nn auto
mobile loaded with policemen turned
the corner and spilled Its enrgo to tho
curb. Tlie policemen with pistols
drawn, dashed Into the fur shop of
John T. Slinyne, 150 North Michigan
avenue, calling loudly for every one
within sight and hearing to surrender.
Mr. Brunts wns their only customer.
It was discovered that the myster-
lous wheel was part of the rear equip
ment of his own cor. It had hopped
over the curb In Randolph street Into
the plate glass window of the Shuyne
company, setting off the burglar alarm.
Mr. Brunts was rewheeled Slid allowed
to go home.
