The 5 per cent preference to former service men in the civil service examinations for the eligible list for appointment as postmasters appears to have operated, as it was designed, to the advantage of the world war veterans. President Harding's executive order May 10, 1921, created the opportunity and Postmaster General Works now announces that 600 former service men have been commissioned as postmasters since the order carrying the preference clause was issued. The point is also made that these young men were not only without previous postoffice experience, but that a large number of them were without business experience whatever. President Harding has made perfectly plain in his public utterances and in less guarded moments when he knew he was not talking for pub

lication the views he holds as to the validity of the obligation of the country to those who responded to the call to arms in 1917 and thereafter until the close of the war. The civil service preference definitely recognized that obligation. The manner in which, in the larger aspect, the obligation is to be met-it can never be wholly canceled-is the problem congress is now seeking to solve. The danger, of course, lies in the enactment of a compensation law that will carry financial commitments which the country is not ready at the moment to assume. Even the most ardent advocates of bonus legislation will probably subscribe to the general principle that in all matters of far-reachng effect and transcendent importance congress can afford to make haste slowly. A STAND FOR THE FLAG. American public opinion will assuredly be behind the shipping board in the rate war in which, through no fault or desire of its own, it is now engaged in the South American passenger trade. There are four splendid ships carrying

the American flag on this route, and everything was going on serenely until suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, without warning or consultation, the competing British line, announced a heavy cut in passenger rates. Taken aback at first by this unfriendly act, the shipping board was nevertheless not long in arriving at a decision in the emergency thus precpitated, and it has now directed a rate lower by from $10 to $50 than its rival's lowest cut.

The shipping board in a statement makes it clear that cutthroat competition is not of its seeking, but it takes the view that the present may be a test fight on all the oceans as to whether the United States is to continue the maintenance and expansion of its merchant marine, and it declares its determination to meet the issue at every point for any length of time. "Our hat is in the ring," says Chairman Lasker,

"and we are going to stick as long as necessary

to insure the position of American-flag ships between North and South America." This is the proper spirit, and the American people will back it up until it wins out. HOME RULE FOR EGYPT. Announcement by Premier Lloyd George in parliament and proclamation by Lord Allenby in Cairo that Great Britain has abandoned her protectorate over the land of the Nile, and that Egypt will be a sovereign and independent state as soon as a native administration consistent with the aspirations of her people can be created, is another notable extension of self-deter-mination. We have only to recall the speech delivered by Colonel Roosevelt in London in 1910 in which he told the British: "Either you have a right to be in Egypt or you have not; either it is your duty to establish and keep order, or get out of Egypt. If, as I hope, you feel that your duty to civilized mankind and your fealty to your own great traditions alike bid you to stay, then make the fact and the name agree and show that you are ready to meet in very deed the responsibility which is yours." That was how Egypt's British rulers felt eleven years ago". It was how governments generally felt even at the Versailles conference, where the Egyptian delegation was shown as scant courtesy as the Irish. Now Ireland has been granted home rule and Egypt also. As in the case of the sister island, England has stipulated strategic conditions in Egypt, British control of the Suez highway to the great Indian Empire being regarded as indispensable. Egyptian foreign relations are to be supervised by the British, presumably much as we oversee those of Cuba. It remains to be demonstrated what capacity the Egyptians will show for managing their own internal affairs. The effect of this proclamation upon India, the other great native population restive under British rule, will be worth watching.

Several of them rushed into print. In other words, chivalry has ceased to chiv and the situation is alarming. Of course, the blame for this is laid on the flappers. The flappers are very handy. It seems that we can blame everything on them. Having discarded hatpins, they cannot fight back. But if they keep on blaming everything, from the famine in China to the unsettled financial situation in Europe, on the flappers, people will soon begin feeling sorry for them. As for chivalry being dead, where did this highbrow author get that stuff? Twice in the past week we have noticed men get up and give their street car seats to ladies. Both gentlemen lifted their hats. In both cases the ladies plumped themselves down as though the seat belonged to them originally, and if either of them said "Thank you," she inhaled it. Chivalry still has a kick in it. It seems to thrive under the most unfavorable conditions. The other night a gunman held a lady up and relieved her of a considerable roll of bills. He noticed that the purse was a very personal affair, with the lady's monogram on it. So he lifted his hat and handed her the empty purse. And still they say chivalry is dead. Another case of modern chivalry is noted in one of the films where a passenger made a kick to the street car conductor, saying: "They are a lot of hogs on this car. I got a seat, but my wife had to stand up all the way." The death of chivalry, like the one-time demise of Mark Twain, is greatly exaggerated. How sweet and brotherly is the conversation of nations until they begin to talk about money. Woman with baby cab helps rob Chicago apartments. Well, they have to carry the loot away somehow.

The practice of throwing an old shoe after a bride is, it seems, quite misapplied when it is dope by some of her compaions for luck. According to the spirit of the ceremony, which is of very ancient linege, it should be done by the parent or suardian of the bride, as

indicating a renouncing of all authority over her. Chieftains in feudal times took off their shoes and handed them to their conquerors in token of accepted defeat, from which practice this slipperthrowing custom is said to have descended.

The Passing

S-h-o-w

THE story of Adam and Eve IS interesting but the failure of THE Bible to tell what the NEIGHBOR women said when it was ANNOUNCED that Adam was engaged to her HAS always been a source OF regret to us and probably to others. THESE are the beginning of the days WHEN the rising generation has TO be almost dragged out of BED in the morning. THE easy mark who deserves the DIAMOND studded lemon holder IS the person who buys liquor from a BOOTLEGGER on his statement THAT it is the real stuff. WE have just learned THAT elephants do not lie down TO slumber but sleep while standing AND if there is one thing more THAN another that we SHOULD hate to be, it is an elephant WITH fallen arches. FEW women may be able to THROW stones straight BIT too many of them are BECOMING too adept in the USE of pistols. IT is easier for a man to forget THE things that give him pleasure THAN the things which annoyed him. A woman can take more TIME buying a seven dollar present FOR a friend than a man CAN writing 27 checks.

At a meeting of parishoners of St. Andrews Catholic church in West Hammond Sunday it was decided to build a new parochial school and rectory to cost $80,000. The East Chicago, Land Co., has engineers surveying its property and establishing lines. Their presence in North Hammond and East Chtcago started a number of rumors regarding new factories. George E. Lamb employed by County Surveyor Ray Seeley, suffered an attack of acute gastritis and fell down the stairs at the State Line Hotel. He died instantly.

CRUDE petroleum, the raw material employed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is so varied in character, that to manufacture products of standard quality, requires a profound knowledge of petroleum chemistry and the utmost skill in refining. Long experience has proved that the greater the scientific knowledge employed the more perfect will be the products manufactured. The responsibility for the manufacturing of Standard Oil products is placed upon the shoulders of men trained to recognize the delicate variance of each complicated operation. This work also is checked carefully by highly trained scientists employed in the laboratories. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) bases its standards of manufacture upon the service which its products shall render the consumer. The maintenance of such standards is dependent upon the technical knowledge of the experts who formulate them. There is no factor in the activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) which yields greater benefit to the consumer, and which is followed more insistently, than that the men who have charge of each process must have highly specialized knowledge of every step in the process under their jurisdiction. This fact is so well established that each division of the manufacturing department has come to be a separate enterprise, and because of this extreme specialization every product coming from the refinery is in effect a primary product. For instance, the department which is responsible for manufacturing Polarine and other greases is in charge of men who have made a profound study of lubricants of this class: men who know intimately every step and every reaction which is necessary if these lubricants are to meet the high standards of quality which the laboratories have set. And so it is in every department of the organization. The men in charge of the several departments are recognized by the industry generally as masters of the intricate problems of manufacturing and marketing. It is this fact which has made this Company a leader in its field. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago
