Deunllu instructions from the White Hous reached the post office department directing it to reinstate George Burkitt as assistant postmaster at Winnetka, 111., regardless of what other charge in addition to that of criticising the president for 4 bis engagement were pending against The first instructions sent to the postofUce department were taken to mean that Burkitt should be reinstated if no other charges were pending against him. Later the question was taken up again, and as a result orders were issued that he be reinstated uncondi tionally without any further delay. Any other charges against Burkitt probably will be investigated by post-office inspectors later. Assistant Postmaster General Roper at once telegraphed instructions for the immediate reinstatement of Burkitt. WILKES-BARRE CARS CRASH Four Members of Crews Taking Strlk era' Places Hurt.

Wilkes-Barre, Nov. 17. (Four trol ley men were injured, one badly, when two cars on the Nanticoke line of the Wilkes-Barre Railway company came together about six miles from here. The cars crashed on a eurve which runs between a high hill on one side and a steep embankment on the other. The cars stopped on the edge of the bank.

The men hurt were taking the place of strikers. The collision oc curred when the north-bound crew used a south-bound track because a trolley wire was down. The crew was advised by the state police along the line of the danger, but the au- thritles say they ignored the warn ing. The operation of the line, was discontinued after the accident. The scene of the wreck is in an iso lated section, and the injured were taken away before crowds gathered.

Bell Fhona No. 1615 Lehigh Phone No. 2108 CORRESPONDENCE COURSES OP STUDY. A-am1liar picture in newspaper and magazine advertising Is that of a. working man held down to Rome poorly paid Job, because of his lack of effort and ambition.

The attempt Is made to convey the idea that by taking some correspondence school course, he could fit himself to rise. While many of these hopes prove illusory, there are also many cases where such study Is a means to a bigger opportunity. Young people who wish to rise must get out of the beaten track. They are too apt to see some position a little above them that they think they might inherit In case of a death or resignation. So they wait many years lor an opening that never comes.

If they 'really want larger responsibilities, -finely must fit themselves for the larger" task. The correspon-I dene course." if, wisely chosen, may fee the means of opening a new door. The great trouble with it is that bo many young people take courses for -which they are not fitted. Many young men try by corres-oiA 1.0 seme very difficult field. For these callings years at a professional or technical school give none too much preparation.

After working evenings for a year or two, the student has a smattering of his eubjeet. But it would he pure gamble to give up his regular salary on such remote chances. He quits study and settles down to a lifetime "at some poorly paid work. Had he attempted something within his reach, the results would have been far different. One of the most UBeful kinds of correspondence courses would be those provided now by many agricultural schools.

Toung farmers might as well study an hour evenings as yown around and go to bed at nine o'clock. They would learn scientific facts they could never get from their fathers or the home traditions of the neighborhood. There is little excuse for. unsuccessful farm work in these days when scientific information is so freely offered. THE GOOD OLD WAYS.

Some intelligent women were discussing methods of education, old and new. enough, or, perhaps, naturally enough for there is apt to be reaction from one extreme of thought to another the concensus of opinion seemed to be that some of thft old methods were not so far waronff after all. It is well enough to talk about making -work pleasant and allowing the child to express himself in his work and 'play. These and. a.

good many other kindred phrases sound? -wetL Bat these women agreed that there is still a. place for the -old "learning by rote" Bystem of acquiring knowledge. When It comes to multiplication tables, for Instance, the most' direct and effectual method is to learn by heart to repeat and repeat a given combination until the becomes merely' a reflex action. A lot of this sort Of mental equipment is necessary to all of -us, 'and the only way to get it is by hard work just old-fashioned drill or drudgery if you want to call it that. But a little drudgery isn't bad for anybody; and whether it is good or bad for us, life holds a lot of it for most everyone.

All who have achieved much have known drudgery and did not shrink from it. It is a good deal like the problem of mastering music or art; technique is attained only through hard drill and drudgery. After technique is gained Individually, if there is any, will- express itself in rich harmonies of sound and colors but not before. The learning to do things thor oughly is the soul of real education. The training of oneself to do well whatever is to be done is the first half of high achievement.

means discipline as well as drudgery, and discipline is another word which everyone has to learn the meaning of, sooner or later, and the sooner the better. CHANGE IN TIME.

OBJECT TO PETTICOAT8 IN U. S. PRESS GALLERIES. (United Press Correspondence.) Special to The Washington, f. Nov.

17. The woman's rights question is causing dissension in the ranks of the Washington newspaper correspondents' corps. The demand of women newspaper writers for the privileges of the press galleries of Congress is the subject of hot debate. women have threatened to appeal to-Vice President Marshall and Speaker Clark. vvnne the petticoat line hat uui.

been drawn against women writers, only one woman heretofore has enjoyed the privileges of the galleries. Because of the necessity of "covering the appearances of Mrs. Norman Oalt and the women society reporters, feature and magazine, as well as "legitimate" newspaper correspondents, have demanded that they be given seats in the reserved press sections. A compromise in sight today, advanced by the standing committee of correspondents governing admission to the press seats, is that a section of seats in the Senate and House public galleries be set off for the women writers. This will leave the working rooms still practically for men only.

"Uncle Ike" makes the statement that he financed Senator LaFollette's reform campaigns in Wisconsin, giving toward it $500,000. He said that in all he gave toward the Republican party $1,000,000.

When LaFollette and his friends conceived the idea in 1907 that the Wisconsin reformer might get the Republican nomination for "the presidency, H. L. Ekern of Wisconsin, he says, called on him in Washington and suggested he put up to finance the "Uncle Ike'' was not responsive, and the sum was reduced to $25,000. But he would do nothing. After his refusal the split between him and LaFollette, he says, widened.

By the time Senator Stephenson prepared for a fight for re-election to the senate he LaFollette men against him. He spent $107,000, and was re-elected. LaFollette men, he says, caused investigations in Wisconsin and Washington about the use of this money. Open Evenings and Sundays. German Spoken.
