WANT SHORTER HOURS
Postoffice Clerks Ask for Eight-Hour Day
Conditions as to hours of labor for clerks in post offices have become so bad that the United National Association of postoffice clerks assembled in convention this year decided by unanimous vote that their greatest and most urgent need is the establishment of a legal eight-hour day. Post office clerks occupy the unique position of being practically hte only class of government employees who are not protected by any act of congress limiting in any way their hours.
Why congress should hesitate to enact legislation that would put the post office clerks on a par with all other government employees in this respect is hard to understand. The principle of an eight hour day for government employees is well established. In recent years it has even been extended to cover the employes of private contractors who might be employed on a government contract.
If there is reason for this policy in so far as it has been extended, there is more reason for its further extension to cover the post office clerks. The post office department recognizes the justice of the principle, for in its annual reports it recommends to postmasters that eight hour schedules be arranged for hte clerks where it is possible to do so.
But the conditions that prevail, and the failure of congress to appropriate sufficiently or intelligently for the employment of additional clerks forces the conclusion that the question remains right up until quoted the declaration made by President Roosevelt before the end of his last term that he would not be a candidate for re-election.
Representative Norris of Nebraska, insurgent leader, questioned Mr. McCall closely with the evident purpose of indicating that the sentiment against a third term probably was against a "third consecutive term," rather than against a third term served after a lapse of four years out of the White House.
"Were not Mr. Roosevelt's statements made when he was serving his second term," Mr. Norris asked, "and in response to the suggestion that he become a candidate for a third consecutive term?"
"That is undoubtedly ture," Mr. McCall said. "But the statement will stand now on its merits."
The attack of the Massachusetts republican upon the dangers that may lie in the use of presidential power to force a nomination for a third term brought another interruption from the insurgent leaders. Representative Norris asked if the sentiment against the third term would apply to a man who had dropped out of office for four years.
"With the authority a man has who has served eight years in the presidency," Mr. McCall replied, "the men could undoubtedly have stimulated their friends to such an extent that they could have become candidates, even after a lapse of four years."
He added that no president but Grant had ever attempted a third-term fight.
"He was defeated in the nominating convention and I believe that he movement," says Chief Executive West, "in developing service with thousands of the movement of enormity the community. It is still encouraging that in the movement in this such encouraging progress rested service on the is the most noteworthy a movement can secure services of an army of men to work as scoutmanstists, each giving at ening and in many cases ternoon each week, the two hundred and ninety as scout commissioners, of approximately fifteen men as officers and memittees of local councils evidence is presented therention is more than a mead, but has real value thy of the services which nerously volunteered.
Even more encouraging is the fact that too est is just as keen and was during the first fering which the movementuced in this country.
"In the last year 468 masters have been cone rate of 390 per month; councils have been org rate of 21 per month; missioners have been se al or part of their time ment or 12 per month."
"While a number of securing their commission they did not have the p were not suited to contrib ber of resignations."
there is more reason for its further extension to cover the post office clerks. The post office department recognizes the justice of the principle, for in its annual reports it recommends to postmasters that eight hour schedules be arranged for hte clerks where it is possible to do so.
But the conditions that prevail, and the failure of congress to appropriate sufficiently or intelligently for the employment of additional clerks forces the conclusion that the question will never be settled right until congress enacts a law to put the post office clerks on an eight-hour basis. Statistics that have been compiled show that a ten-hour day is by no means uncommon, and that frequently the clerks are compelled to labor as many as eleven hours a day. This condition of affairs is not only an injustice to the clerks but actually militates against the efficiency of the postal service.
Expedition is the very keynote of the postal service. To advance the delivery of the mails the highest class of equipment is maintained. Upwards of fifty millions of dollars are expended annually for the transportation of our mails by the fastest of trains. The automobile is rapidly supplanting the horse and wagon.
Where can there be any real economy in failing to employ enough clerks to expeditiously distribute the mails in the post offices and make the quickest possible connections on these fast mail trains, which must leave on schedule?
Where there is not a sufficient force of clerks to clean up the mails in eight hours then it may safely be assumed that important mail is being delayed, and this is of vital concern to the commercial world.
In periods of stress and emergency the clerks will perform overtime duty, only asking that for each extra hour they receive the same compensation they would receive for any other hour.
The condition of employment of post office clerks must also be taken into consideration. The great majority of them work at night, under artificial light, constantly exercising both body and brain, and in quarters that are often unsanitary and poorly ventilated, because of the obsolete style of government architecture employed in the older federal buildings.
Besides their hours in the post office the clerks must devote other hours of study in their homes to master the difficult "schemes" of mail distribution that they may be
"With the authority a man has who has served eight years in the presidency," Mr. McCall replied, "the men could undoubtedly have stimulated their friends to such an extent that they could have become candidates, even after a lapse of four years."
He added that no president but Grant had ever attempted a third-term fight.
"He was defeated in the nominating convention, and I believe that he would have been more severely defeated at the polls had he been nominated," Mr. McCall said.
"The tremendous influence of executive power centralized in the hands of one strong, unscrupulous man may easily be adequate in critical times to remove all limitations on his tenure and to change the essential character of the government," said Mr. McCall. "It is hardly necessary to cite instances. Under the consulship of Caesar, the annual election to the leadership of the Roman republic became an idle form, and this annual farce was performed each year for centuries under Augustus, Nero and other emperors.
"And if you ask for an instance nearer to our own country and time you have only to turn to the neighboring republic of Mexico, where autocracy paved the way for a revolution, and only a bloody war terminated the rule of a president."
Mr. McCall devoted much of his speech to quotations from former presidents against the third term idea. Twice he quoted from President Roosevelt's statement after his election in 1904 the following sentence:
"Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination."
"There is no equivocation there," exclaimed Mr. McCall. "The rotation in office which Washington so earnestly favored did not leave room for passing the office on to a favorite to be passed back again."
For nearly a century and a quarter, he pointed out, the precedent of Washington in fixing the limit at two terms had acquired the force of a constitutional limitation, and by prescription it had today the validity of positive law.
"Jefferson's example, following that of Washington, removed the question of a third term from the politics of that time. There was a universal acquiescence in the practice established by Madison and Monroe."
In the last year 468 masters have been conferred the rate of 390 per month; 12 missioners have been sent all or part of their time ment or 12 per month.
"While a number of curing their commission they did not have the prereqre not suited to contriber of resignations or have been comparatively ting to approximately 40 year, leaving today as masters as far as we are certain by correspondence out the aid of the field men."

Examinations are constantly going on to determine efficiency in distribution. Every error made is checked against hte clerk and all taken into consideration with his promotion at stake.
Even Sunday is not a day of rest, the post office clerk being compelled to work from three to eight hours on an average of twenty Sundays in the year.
It is earnestly hoped that congress will give early consideration to this question and enact legislation that will extend the eight hour day to the post office clerks, both in the interest of justice to the clerk and the highest development of efficiency in the postal service.
PERIL IN THIRD TERM
Diaz and Mexican Revolution Warning to United States
Washington, Feb. 19.—Applauded by a majority of the regular republicans and sharply questioned by insurgents, Representative Samuel W. McCall of Massachusetts, long a prominent republican in the house, aligned himself with the movement against a presidential third term.
In a speech liberally interspersed with insurgent interruptions, Mr. McCall declared that American presidents had set a precedent of retiring after a service of eight years, and For nearly a century and a quarter, he pointed out, the precedent of Washington in fixing the limit at two terms had acquired the force of a constitutional limitation, and by prescription it had today the validity of positive law.
"Jefferson's example, following that of Washington, removed the question of a third term from the politics of that time. There was a universal acquiescence in the practice established by Madison and Monroe.
"During Grant's second term there was an agitation to secure his election for a third term. After more than a year of discussion the question was brought up in congress and on December 15, 1875, the house of representatives by a vote of 233 to 18 passed a resolution against the third term idea. Four years after his name was presented to the republican convention, but he was defeated for the nomination."
BOY SCOUTS INCREASING
Wide Popularity Attained Throughout United States
The Boy Scouts of America have almost quadrupled in the last year. This fact and many other interesting statistics from out the boy scouts are contained in the second annual report of James E. West, chief scout executive of the boy scouts of America. Not only have the scoutmasters increased in numbers from about 1,200 to 1400 to almost 6000 in a year, but the number of scout commissioners and local councils have increased likewise. Mr. West's report presents a vivid idea of the interest in the scout movement by showing that in the last year 198,439 pieces of mail matter and express packages have been handled at the national headquarters of the boy scouts of America.
"The possibilities of the scout..."
movement," says Chief Scout Executive West, "in developing the idea of service with thousands of boys make the movement of enormous value to the community. It is significant and encouraging that in the organization of the movement in this country with such encouraging progress that disinterested service on the part of men, is the most noteworthy feature. When a movement can secure the volunteer services of an army of six thousand men to work as scoutmasters and assistants, each giving at least one evening and in many cases also one afternoon each week, the services of two hundred and ninety men to act as scout commissioners, the services of approximately fifteen thousand men as officers and members of committees of local councils, convincing evidence is presented that this movement is more than a mere temporary fad, but has real value and is worthy of the services which are so generously volunteered.
Even more encouraging and impressive is the fact that today the interest is just as keen and intense as it was during the first few months during which the movement was introduced in this country.
"In the last year 4680 new scoutmasters have been commissioned at the rate of 390 per month, 252 local councils have been organized at the rate of 21 per month; 148 scout commissioners have been secured to give all or part of their time to the movement or 12 per month.
"While a number of men after securing their commissions found that they did not have the proper time or were not suited to continue, the number of resignations or withdrawals led the work of eleven districts in the counties of Du Page, Kane, Boone, and McHenry. The total acreage of the land drained foots 29,750 acres, of which 17,300 acres are termed wet, and the total cost approximates $214,500.
Of this acreage of nearly 30,000 acres, 9750 acres were drained by the closed process, which in late years has rapidly come into general use. Instead of digging a great wide gaping ditch through fertile acres, drain tile running as large as 42 inches in diameter are used and covered up, so that a wide strip of land made useless by a big ditch may be planted to crops and cultivated, and greatly to the advantage of the land owner.
The name of this young man is Arthur L. Webster, who deliberately planned before he entered college to engage in land draining, after he would finish his course. He saw and realized the immense waste of land lying under water, and almost before he had taken a lesson he knew that it would not be long until every inch of such land would have to be used. His maiden project, kept mostly in his mind, was the drainage of the DuPage river, shallow, meandering and in many places a stagnant pool. Today he is putting through the law's process by which such a project will be organized and carried to completion.
After he had successfully put into effect several projects in his own (DuPage) county he became a candidate for county surveyor and was elected, after which he went into the drainage work with greater vim than ever. Some of this work attracted the surveys for the state highway system in Southern California was commenced this week. Two surveying parties of four men each, started out from the state highway commission's headquarters in the Union Oil building, and while their work is but tentative, in that they are to survey suggested routes, it is an actual beginning in the great improvement. The state road system will enhance values throughout the southland.
The first quartet of surveyors left for Ventura county. The work will be started at the east Ventura county line on hte Calabasas road and the men will work to the west through the county to the town of Ventura and then along the Rincon route to Santa Barbara county line. There the work will stop because it is as far as the highway division extends.
The second delegation went to San Diego. The surveyors will begin at the city limits in San Diego and to work north along the coast highway to the Orange county line.
"In the last year 4680 new scout masters have been commissioned at the rate of 390 per month, 252 local councils have been organized at the rate of 21 per month; 148 scout commissioners have been secured to give all or part of their time to the movement or 12 per month.
"While a number of men after securing their commissions found that they did not have the proper time or were not suited to continue, the number of resignations or withdrawals have been comparatively few, amounting to approximately 450 during the year, leaving today as active scout masters as far as we are able to certain by correspondence and without the aid of the field force, 52 men."
AN OFFICIAL SIGN LANGUAGE
Symbols and Abbreviations Used by the United States Government
If you were making a reconnaissance of a large area of greatly diversified country and were taking obvious notes of the various natural characteristics observed as well as the many works of man, your notes would consist to a large extent of discussions of constantly recurring types which might well be expressed by symbols. The printed or written language is far older than the alphabet, and there is in common use today in the United States an official sign language which so far as geographic features are concerned is sufficient to describe fully, without the use of a single word, the most unusual area within the country or any of its outlying possessions. This is the collection of symbols and abbreviations adopted by the United States geographic board and published, with their signification, on a large sheet by the United States geological survey. By the use of these symbols everything of the nature mentioned can be described by an amateur map maker, or can be read on any government map, and anyone who has the key to the symbols can read the map and learn the character of the area so far as the map depicts it.
Thus a rock in the ocean whose exact position is doubtful is represented by a single sign the size of a pinhead, and an oil well or a telegraph station is indicated by another symbol no larger. If a lake or pond is intermittently wet and dry it is represented by a symbol slightly different from that used for a re-duPage river, shallow, meandering and in many places a stagnant pool. Today he is putting through the law's process by which such a project will be organized and carried to completion.
After he had successfully put into effect several projects in his own DuPage county he became a candidate for county surveyor and was elected, after which he went into the drainage work with greater vim than ever. Some of this work attracted so much attention that land owners in adjoining counties consulted him, with the result that his efforts are now seen in four different counties, all famed for the fertility andDUCTIVENESS of the soil.
Of course, this work could not be carried on without some objection, but all of it was met by the operation of the Illinois drainage law. In one of the districts the work was a mutual undertaking—that is, the land owners volunteered their own assessments. There were fifteen different property owners. This work was performed by the closed plan.. There were used in this work 3000 22-inch and 4500 20-inch tile and a large number of other sizes down to 10 inches. The work cost $7000 and 1500 acres of land were improved.
A large portion of the eleven districts was drained on a cash basis, but on others where the cost was spread over a period of ten years at the rate of a dollar an acre a year, the land owner got $2 an acre per year increase in value of crops, so that after he had paid his dollar tax he still had a dollar to the good. This fact led scores of farmers into the drainage movement. Many of them drained their own land at their own expense, connecting up many of the outlets of the regular drainage district, as provided for by the Illinois drainage law.
Of the eleven districts handled by this young man, only one is in process of organization, and there is no doubt that it will be put through. It contemplates the dredging out of the DuPage river, thereby preventing that and other streams from flowing their banks and at the same time greatly aiding drainage and sanitary conditions in towns and villages in the DuPage river valley.
In all this vast district in four counties in which so much land is underlaid by large drain tile, the benefit from aeration and ventilation, thereby permitting farmers to get to their work earlier in the spring, almost beyond estimation.
For Ventura county. The work will be started at the east Ventura county line on hite Calabasas road and the men will work to the west through the county to the town of Ventura and then along the Rincon route to Santa Barbara county line. There the work will stop because it is as far as the highway division extends.
The second delegation went to San Diego. The surveyors will begin at the city limits in San Diego and to work north along the coast highway to the Orange county line.
Although these surveys are tentative they will be accepted as permanent if the highway engineers do not find better routes.
There has been considerable delay experienced in getting the necessary equipment. Horses, wagons, and the camping outfits are essential as well as surveying instruments and engineers supplies.
It was said additional crews would be sent out as speedily as the equipment arrives. It is planned to put a dozen crews in the field. The next crew probably will start in the Cahuenga Pass at the north city limits of Los Angeles and work west to the Ventura county line, meeting the first crew sent out.
These surveys first will be approved by the engineers and it is believed actual construction work will commence early in the summer.
W. L. Clark is division engineer in charge of the work. He said:
"It would be folly to try to draw a map of the proposed system. It is giving the subject too much seriousness to call it 'proposed,' because the routes are simply suggested 'proposed.' The surveying now being done may meet with approval of the engineers; and on the other hand, much of it may have to be done over again. The most accessible routes, of course, will be selected, having regard too for the encountering of engineering problems."
CHINESE INGENUITY
"I hope our dear old Dr. Wu Ting-fang is on the right side in these Chinese troubles," said a diplomat at a dinner in Washington.
"Du Wu," he continued, "used to tell me many illuminating anecdotes about the Chinese character. I remember one about ingenuity.
"A Chinaman," an anecdote ran, found his wife lying dead on a field one morning—a tiger had killed her.
"The Chinaman went home, procured some arsenic, and, returning to the field sprinkled it over the

Thus a rock in the ocean whose exact position is doubtful is represented by a single sign the size of a pinhead, and an oil well or a telegraph station is indicated by another symbol no larger. If a lake or pond is intermittently wet and dry it is represented by a symbol slightly different from that used for a regular lake, and if a section of the country is covered with pines or other conifers the symbol employed to show these trees is slightly different from that used in indicating an oak forest. Some 70 symbols are used to portray the various works and structures erected by man, from suspension bridges to mine shafts or windmills; about 20 symbols are used to indicate different classes of land, ranging from sugar cane arreas to cattus patches; aids to navigation and hydrographic features of all kinds are represented by many devices, and other general subjects covered are boundaries, marks, and monuments, and many special military features.
This sheet of conventional signs is much in use by schools and field organizations. It can be procured from the director of the geological survey. Washington, D. C., for 10c. or if purchased in lots of 50 or more for 6 cents, which simply covers the cost of paper and printing.
