Local Office Being Depleted on Account of Small Salaries.

Another of Mlshawaka's postal employes is about to separate himself from the service at the end of this week, driven to this action by the rising cost of living and the failure of 'onsress to make corresponding Increases in the salaries paid to postal employes. This is the fourth resignation from the local post office in a period of about one year while Mishawaka's representation in the railway mail service has fallen to two men, bix local men having resigned from this oranch of service in about tho same period of time. 1031.11 employes have received a raise, in salary of 2 3 percent during the last 12 years. This compared to the almost 10ft percent increase of living costs and the corresponding increase of wapes in all other lines of in lustry has made the postal service so unattractive that it is losing many of its highly trained men with a corresponding depreciation of the once high standard of this very important public service. Thore ws commission appointed last J.farch to Investigate postal affairs with a view to making necessary adjustment of postal wages but by the time this commission pets through with its task the postal service will have depreciated much more than It has at the present. A reliablo authority has stated that there nre an average of 50 resignations per month from the Chicago office and other offices in the larger cities are suffering in proportion. What is needed is immediate relief which can be given by a temporary percentage Increase, pending the result of this postal wage commission's findings. A letter to our congressman and senators would help to bring about such action as there has been a resolution presented in the .senate by Sen. Mor.es of New Hampshire providing1 for just such an increase. This Is known as the "Senate Joint Resolution No. S4."

nv C ARL BERLIN, Aug. "devil-may-care"

Berlin. It undoubtedly arise', from the letdown after four years cf war. And it manifests itself In a wild pursuit of pleasure. Champaemo and gramblo

ing are the main objects upon which pleasure-craving Berlin directs its attention, seeking surcease from the past. Berlin may lack for food, but it doesn't lack for amusements. A vast class of rich folks are going through their money with a surprising rapidity, while many persons of more moderate means have caught the infection and are cutting into savings of a lifetime to satisfy the almost universal desire for pleasure. Even the '"reds." who are supposed to be very poverty stricken, have a trace of the spirit, ay was instanced recently when a Spirtacus party was announced for cne of the suburbs, with the- statement that there'd be plenty to drink and much to eat. In short, the circular stated practically, that though the people were poor they were going to spend what they had with a lavishness and abandon. There was to be food such as a ationed people were not euppesed to be able to obtain, and there was to drink galore, and the guests were to stay as long as they saw f.t As a result of this spirit, the city is fairly alive with cafes and dance halln. There is generally little, or roor. food in these places, but the habi'ues buy wine with a recklessness that would make even a weal.h Chicago packer or a Pittsburg cteel magnate dlxzy.

As for gambling, Berlin at present ia probably the widest open city in the world. Men and women play

Miss Rosie Quinn. whore dainty dancing at the Century Grove, New York, charmed Prince A.iLce of Denmark when he viisted New York recently so much sv that a dtpsatch from London telling of the arrival of the Prince and Iiis impressions of New York quotes him as saying: "Did you ever see a daintier leading chorus girl than Rosie Quinn at the Century Grove?" The prince during Jils visit to New York attended the performance at the Century Grove, occupying a Hont row table. He played snowball with Mi?s Quinn. and had the honor cf being hit squarely I etween the eyes by a cotton "snowball" thrown by Miss Quinn in her snowball dance. Prince Aace retaliated by throwing the same snowball back and hitting the petite dancer on her qiquant nose.

PARIS. Aug. 14. Though engaged in demobilizing her entlr reserve army, France will maintain a r umerical supremacy cf at least three to one over Germany's military f rtcs. thus guaranteeing the outcarrying of the treaty terms. At the present time France hai nearly two millior. men under arms. but The present demobilization plan 3 ci for the discharge of all but hOO.000 before November 1. - Germany now has about 400,000 men lr. her volunteer armies. This number must be reduced to '200,000 during the next few months. Hence, In November, with France's demobilization completed and Germany reamed to the army permitted her by the treaty, France will still have full control of the situation. Demobilize By March. On March 31, 1920, Germany will have to have demobilized all but a permanent standing force of 100.0CO men. France will on that date Etlll have 600.000 men mobilized, or a superiority of six to one. Not only will France then be in a position to w; ich Germany closely, but she will bo aided V.so by the occupation fqrets cf the United States, England and Levium. With Germany thus reduced in military strength, France has hopes of jilso lessening the term of service for hr troops. The French have in the past been driven to long terfll obligatory service by Germany. Tho future premises to remove this cause permanently. The 600,000 men Frur.te Mil for the time being retnln under arms consist of two classes those of l y l k and IS 19 as well as tho professional and colonial troops.

Alkali In Soap Bad For the Hair

Soap should bo used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady Use is Mulslfled cocoanut oil shampoo

(which is pure and greaseless). and

is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, croamy lather. which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair line and silky, bright, lustrous, Huffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsiticd cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's verycheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Advt.
