APPEALS TO WOMAN TO GET
POSTMASTERJUT OF POLITICS
NEW YORK-—An appeal to two
million American clubwomen to help
take the postofflce department out of
politics was ma<Je by the civil service
reform leader, Richard Henry Dana,
of Boston, before the Federated Wo
men’s clubs national convention.
Dana declared the political appoint
ment system has made the United
States postal service the poorest and
most inefficient in the world.
The remedy Dana suggested wan to
put every postal service job from the
four assistant postmaster generalships
down to the lowliest carrier of a rural
foute, on a competitive examination
basis under strict civil service rules.
The speaker asserted that more
than 90 per cent of all postmaster
ships paying $1,000 a year or more
are changed with every national ad
ministration; and, that appointees to
the big assistants' jobs in Washing
ton sometimes are changed twice in
an administration. Dana condemned
“the vast majority of postofflce ap
pointees” as being "either politicians
or brokendown failures In business
whom some politician desires to foist
upon the United States for support
and who almost never know or learn
anything about the Intricacies of the
postal service.” Dana declared the
recent order that till postmasters de
vote all their time to the post office
services will oply “make their post
offices a political headquarters.” He
pointed out that we have had 15 post
master generals in the last 30 years
and suggested a long term appoint
ment. He suggested the division of
the country into postal districts, with
a division superintendent for each
one. In praising the railway mail
service, Dana said it was efficient only
because it has been under civil ser
vice for years. In concluding, the
speaker declared that although our
postal service is (10 years behind that
of other countries, bills now in prog
gress for its reform tire ignored be
cause the people do not rise up and
demand that the reforms be put
through.—Ex.
BARNACLES AS EDIBLES.
SEATTLE—The eagle barnacles
(ImlnniiK aqullu), whose shells meas
ure as much as ten inches high arid
from six to seven inches wide at the
base, and whose meat sometimes
weighs close to a pound, is not only
edible but delicious, according to
Professor Trevor Kincaid of the Uni
versity of Washington. This is the
largest barnacle known, and inhabits
only Alaskan and Pacific const wa
ters.
Tons of these barnacles may be har
vested easily in the San Juan islands.
Professor Kincaid says, and students
at the marine station at Friday Har
bor have tried them with most satis
factory results. They contend that
the barnacles are as good as the best
• ;rab or shrimp. Living on small
forms of marine life, they are held
preferable to the crab, which is a
Hcuvanger. Their nutritive Value is
that of most food fishes.
Professor Kincaid doubts whether a
market could easily be developed for
the barnacles, because the public
would have to be educated to their
use, and because there is no great
need of new foodstuffs from the sea.
They will live for a week or ten
days after being taken from the wa -
tern, and could be shipped across Die
continent without difficulty.
The shells make pretty and useful
ornaments.
