at a dinner the other evening ten-
dercd hltn by the post office staff
of the South Norwalk office.
Letter carrier Elbert W. Clark
acted as toastmaster. He hit the
keynote of the evening when he
said that he defied anyone to find
a man in the entire. postal service
who had been more accomodating
or more faithful in the performance
of his duty.
Postmaster Edmund t7. Crowe
presented Mr. Bailey with a large
loving cup as a mark of the esteem
ltt which he is held by the [Asia]

any field of endeavor is rare and.

Tn That Drives Trade Away
(Charleston News and Courier)
After a trial lasting long enough
to dstnoralize the business of the
drug stores and give the state an
immense deal of unfavorable pub-
licity. the state tax imposed by the
last Legislature on cosmetics has
been drastically reduced. As fixed
by the Legislature. the cosmetics
tax was 20 cents on the dollar. The
special tax relief commission has
cut it to four cents on the dollar.
It is still a discriminatory tax but
it is probably no longer so burden-
some as literally to kill business:
although in the meantime. while
these merchants were fighting for
relief, which they did most ably. a
considerable number of people have
doubtless acquired the mail order
habit. and will have to be broken
of it. '
These are the net results of the
Legislature's preposterous experi-
ment. The one hope is that it has
helped along in the process of in
education.
The special tax relief commission
also backtracked on the ice cream
tax so that this tax will apply only
to ice cream sold at soda fountains.
in dishes and in cones.
Here is pttblic acknowledgment
of how ill-advised were the schemes
of the Legislature for raising reit-
entte. When the drug store people
and the ice cream people organized
and presented their case it could
not be answered.
And the admitted iniquity of the
cosmetics tax as laid and of the ice
cream tax as laid ts but an index to
the iniquity of the tax revenue bill
as a whole. ,
Busy A: A Bee?
(Wall Street Journal.)
When any branch of tho I'nited
States government sees fit. to inves—
tigate its constituents someone . or
something is bound to be upset. As
cruel as it may seem the Depart-
ment of Agriculture has investigat-
ed a body of workers whom we
have all sworn by when desiring to
emphasize our working capacity.
Someone had cast aspersions on the
industry of the honeybee and the
Department of Agriculture has in.
vestigated to find out “just how
busy the. busy honeybee might be."
Here is how they _did it: A gate
vv as evolved through which only one
bee at a time could pass. 1n leav-
ing the hive the bee's weight caus-
ed an electrical contact which oper-
ated a recording mechanism. In the
course of the experiment it was
found that of the. 2.484.665 bees
leaving the hive 3.16 per cent, did
not return. This would mean that
on an average a bee makes about
31.65 trips before death overtakes
it. But for all the trips these little
insects made the amount of honey
deposited in the hive was far from
sufficient. and through calculations
made by the department it. was dis-
covered that the average has really
spends more time in the hiya than
out . Many of us may claim to be
"busy as a bee” and perhaps we are
right. The bee has the appearance
of busymss only and the amount of
honey left to its heirs attests to a
lifetime of lost motion.

“When prohibition became law its.
pgitators cried that it. would do
away with crime: that hold-up men
would go the way of Jesse James
and his horse: that burglars would
become decent. curfew-respecting
citizens." This from William H.
McBryan, manager of the Detroit
office of the L'nlted States Fidelity
and Guaranty Company. Tuesday as
he gazed at a comparative statement
of burglary insurance rates covering
a ten-year period.
The statement showed that the
rates have more than doubled. some
classes tripled. and that policies are
more restricted in their scope.
"Prohibition doesn‘t seem to have
done what it was touted as going to
do." McBryan continued.
"Between 1913 and 1933 the pop-
ulsIon of Detroit doubled: the cost
of operating the police department
12 in a. year to 163: robberies and‘
burglaries increased from 1.825 in
4.355. without considering more
than {.000 automobile thefts in
1323: arrests for drunkenness in-
creased by 1.500. l
“These figures all came from the
police department and. while they
tell a graphic story. the rise and fall
of crime is reflected possibly mort-
aceurately by the barometer of in-‘
surance rates.” ‘ ‘Q

Whose District?
(Bridgeport Post.)
The Charleston News and Courier
says that Senator Hiram Bingham of
Connecticut is “preaching good old
demoeratic doctrine.” This refers
to Senator Blngham's vigorous stand
against further Federal encroach-
ment upon State rights.
We are sure that Connecticut has
no objection to this label. provided
that the important qua‘ifying word
“old" is kept in it. Yes, it was "old”
democratic doctrine until the Demo-
crats abandoned it. and. during the
eight years of Woodrow Wilson's re- _
gime. pushed the. Federal aggrand»
izemcnt to extents hitherto unknown l
and undreamed of in the history of
:hi" nation.
Now it's anybody's doctrine who is
big enough and thoughtful enough
to champion it. President Coolidge
is one of these . Hiram Bingham is
another. .
