MAK1NG THE POST OFFICE PAY
The Enterprise scribe listened to u
radio address by fourth assistant post
master a few days ago on how the de-
partment was economizing in order to
reduce the deficit of millions of dollars
annually in the operation of the postal
service. He told of reduced prices in
about everything from mail bags to
the lease of post office buildings and
said that the department was insisting
on a reduction of at least 25 per cent
on renewal of leases and that in some
instances leases of buildings had been
renewed since March at 50 per cent
of the old rate.
One way the post office department
could save millions of dollars would
be to quit printing stamped envelopes
at give-away prices and sending them
without pay (franked,) hundfcds of
miles, in some cases, in competition
with local printers. If the post office
department would charge a reasonable
price for printing and furnishing
stamped envelopes and also charge
postage for delivering the package, it
would go a long, long way towards
eliminating the millions of dollars def-
icit.—Meshoppen (Pa.) Enterprise.

Adva.'trees in Oil Refining
Result in Higher Mileage
"V v \/w
■i- :
w
vt.-
Cars picked at random from the streets, lined up on Indianapolis
Speedway before starting four-day test of new high-mileage motor oil.
BECAUSE the average motorist is
becoming more and mora con-
cerned with motor oil portormance,
the refining Industry lins recently
been turning its attention to im-
proved refining methods designed
to meet the public's demand for
better lubrication from tho medium-
priced lubricants.
For years the main problem con-
fronting the industry was reduction
of carbon deposits, and like mat-
ters, but today the important prob-
lem is how to provide belter lubri-
cation.
Very definite and satisfactory
progress has been made along this
line, as shown recently in mileage
tests conducted at the Indianapolis
Speedway under supervision of the
Contest Committee of the American
Automobile Association. These
tests showed that a new high-
mileage oil, produced by tho Gulf
llefining Company, glvos 28.5 per
cent more miles to tho quart than
any of the other threo popular,
medium-priced oils tested against
it.
Tho cars used in the test wero
low and medium-priced autos
picked at random from tho streets
of Indianapolis. Each car was run
450 miles with each of the four
brands of oil, the test lasting for
four days, during which time each
car covered 1,800 nillus.
Oil consumption was carefully
chocked by contest officials of the
A.A.A., and it was found that the
new high-mileage oil was 28.5 per
cent cheaper to use, the figure he- .
ing an average based on the oil's
performance in all the cars used
in the test.
VACANCIES ARE AN-
NOUNCED BY MARINES
The New Orleans Marine Corps re-
cruiting station, located at 535 St.
Charles Street, will enlist few young
men who are graduates from high
school or from institutions of higher
learning duringthe month of August,
it is announced by Major P. D. Cor-
nell, officer in charge.
The Marine Corps offers land, air
and sea duty. Marines serve in many
foreign lands. Sea duty is very desir-
able for those wanting travel and ad-
venture. During an enlistment one
will travel thousands of miles and will
have many strange and thrilling ex-
periences.
Men enlisted will be immediately
transferred to Parris Island, S. C., for
few weeks preliminary instruction, be
fore going to some school, ship or ma-
rine barracks for duty.
Enlistment dates in August will be
1st, 11th and 21st. Application blanks
will be mailed on request. Applica-
tions tiled do not obligate men to en-
list it only places them on list as
eligible applicants.
Mrs. Barbara Ann Hunt, 98, of Elk-
hart, Ind., took her first airplane ride
the other day.
Last year automobile thefts in Chi-
cago and Cook county totalled 34,240,
or more than the number of new car
registered during the same period.
Consequently automobile insurance
rates are higher in Chicago than else-
where, the premium being $91.80 per
$1,000 of insurance on a certain popu-
lar ear, while other cities' rates are
$30.50 in New York, $17.00 in Boston,
$9.50 in Washington, and $7.50 in San
Francisco.

DRIEST PLACE ON EARTH
Miss Rubalee Rupe, of McAllcn is
here for a visit with her grand par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Richadrs. She
accompanied her brother and wife,
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Rupe and Messrs.
Ira and Jess Richards home from their
trip to the Valley.
The driest place on earth is Payta,
in Peru, about five degrees south of
the equator. In spite of the fact that
this province is on the seaboard, there
are children living there ten or twelve
years old who have never seen a show-
er of rain.
Clouds are plentiful, and occasion-
ally there are heavy sea fogs, yet as
much as fifteen years may elapse be-
tween showers.
In spite of the dryness, this country
is inhabited, for small streams, com-
ing down from the western side of the
Andes, water it.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sedlacek and
children, of Midfield, were guests of

time is reported by all.

The Trades day idea suggested by
the Commercial club is very good,
we're for it. This newspaper can be
depended upon to do everything pos-
sible to put the idea over and make a
Monthly Trades Day a success provid-
ing every business firm in the town
who will profit from a Trades Day
will do its part, but as we have said
before, we are not joining any move-
ment "to get the wood, build the fire
and heat the water on which some oth-
er fellow can boil his eggs." There are
several business firms that prefer to
send their printing orders out of town,
who will not subscribe for the paper
if they are expected to pay for it, who
do their advertising on the sidewalk
and with tomato can highway signs.
The Trades Day idea is fine, but ev-
eryone who rides will have to push
first—then hop on after the engine
is running. For nearly 24 years this
newspaper did a "good share of the
pushing on many civic projects here-
abouts and a lot of fellows who never
have as much as a kind word for the
editor and never spend a cent with the
newspaper were riding—from now on
"them that ride" can help feed the
horse. And we don't mean they have
to help pay for the Trades Day adver-
tising—what we do mean is that those
who expect to profit from the Trades
Day will have to put out some thing
in some way more than their hand.

Shaft to Amundsen
San Francisco has paid tribute to a
great explorer by erecting a tall gran-
ite shaft in Golden Gate park in mem-
ory of Ronald Amundsen, who discov-
ered the South Pole in 1911.
Amundsen was a native of Norway,
where he was born in 1872, and be-
came a sailor at 21. In addition to his
discovery of the South Pole, he also
made two trips to the North Pole, one
ih an airplane and the other in a diri-
gible; he discovered the north magnetic
pole; was the first to make the north
west passage from Europe to Alaska,
and was the third navigator to make
the northeast passage from the Atlan-
tic to the Pacific.
In 1928, after Amundsen had an-
nounced his retirement from active
exploration, Nobile's expedition to
the Artie in a dirigible met with
disaster .Amundsen set out by air to
rescue Nobile, but perished in the at-
tempt, and was never heard from
again.
The San Francisco monument will
serve to remind coming generations
of one of the most intrepid adventur-
ers the world has fiver seen, whose
contributions to science were among
the most notable that have been de-
rived from polar exploration.
An old war story recently revived:
There was much rivalry between two
regiments, one from Wisconsin and an-
other from Massachusetts, stationed at
the same camp. One day a traveling
evangelist approached the Wisconsin
colonel, asking permission to hold ser-
vices and telling that he had converted
eight men of the rival outfit, The col-
onel roared: "Adjutant, detail 10 men
for baptism at once; no damned Mas-
sachusetts regiment is going to beat
us for religion."
