EMPLOYES OF POSTAL
APPEAR DISSATISFIED
WITH RETIREMENT ACT
CLEVELAND, Aug. 26. (/P)—The
present retirement act for postal
employes will be the chief topic of
speakers at the meetings of eight
organizations that will celebrate “pos
tal week” here August 23 to 29.
At present, clerks and carriers re
tire at 65 and supervisors at 70 and
are paid $60 a month, providing they
have spent 30 years in the service.
If they have served less than 30
years the pay is pro rated.
Local postal workers say the provi
sions of the act are “utterly inade
quate to meet reasonable service and
employment needs. The annuity
granted is so small that employes ap
pear to accept it only under pressure
and the age for retirement is fixed
so high as to practically defeat the
very purpose for which the law was
intended.”
1 ne discussions on me leurexuem,
act are expected to take place at
the meetings of the national associa
tion of postal supervisors, and uni
ted national association of postof
fice clerks and the national rural
letter carriers’ association.
Other subjects to be discussed dur
ing the week include the “Effect of
the New Postal Rates,” and the “Ex
pansion of the Air Mail Service.”

Briton Directs Use of
Stiletto As a Positive
Death Certificate
LONDON, Aug. 26. (/P)— Sir George
Greenwood, presiding recently at a
meeting of the London Society for
the Prevention of Premature Burial,
said that he had given directions
to those who would be his executors
to plunge a stiletto into his heart
after his death so as to make certain
of it. He added that a school mate
of his, who became a great surgeon,
insisted that the stabbing process
be carried out as a precaution. Sir
George declared he had no faith in
the present so-called modern methods
of certifying death.
Miss Emily Akes, honorary secre
tary of the society, said that one
of the best known men in England
whose name was a household word,
had once been placed in a casket
as dead, and when about to be bur
ied was found to be quite well and
alive, and he had lived for some
! twenty years afterward.

GATHERING TO DISCUSS
VARIETY OF SUBJECTS
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 26. (^—Lead
ers in religious work from all parts
of theworld will attend the Universal
Christian Conference on Life and
Worki whch will begin August 19
and continue through August 30. The

most of the conferees are clergymen,
it will discuss practical problems of
everyday life. The American dele

take home information which will
be distributed to churches thruout

sions in th United States, Great Brit
ain and continental Europe. The

the country’s most distinguished
clergymen.
One of the most interesting reports
will be presented by the Commis
sion on “The Church and Christian
Education,” of which the Rev. Wlm.
Adams Brown of Union Theological
Seminary, New York, is chairman.
This topiic has aroused unusual n
terest on account of the present
movement in the United States to
bring about religious education thru
the public school system. Other com
missions, with the names of the
chairman of the American sectons
are; “The Church and Internatonal
Relations,” joint chairman, Bishop
Charles A. Brent of Buffalo and H.
P. Faunce, president of Brown Uni
vresity; “The Church and Social and
Moral Problems,” joint chairman,
Rev. F. W. Burnham, President Unit
ed Christian Missionary Society and
Bishop James Cannon, jr., chairman
of the Executive Committee of the
World’s League Against Alcoholism;
“The Church and Economic and In
dustrial Problems,” shairman, the
Rev. Shailer Mathews, dean of the
Divinity School of the University of
Chicago; “Methods of Cooperative
and Federative Efforts by Christian
Communions,” chairman, the Rev. R.
E. Speer, secretary of the Presbyte
rian Board of Foreign Missions; “The
Church’s Obligation in View of God’s
Purpose for the World,” joint chair
men, the Rev. J. Ross Stevenson,
president of Princeton Theological
Seminary and the Rev. Jas. I. Vance,
pastor of First Presbyterian Church
of Nashville, Tenn.
The American delegates have bee
chosen by various Protestant denomi
nations, representation being assign
ed in proportion to the numerical
strength of each denomination. The
conference has been organized and
fianced principally by the World Al
liance for International Fripnrtshm
Through the Churches, working thru
its 26 national branches all over the
world. The Archbishop of Canter
bury, who is International President
of the World Alliance, is one of the
four joint presidents of the confer
ence, the others being His Holiness
the Ecumenical Patriarch of Con
stantinople; His Grace, the Most
Rev. Nathan Soderblom, Archbishop
of Upsala, chairman of the European
section; and th eRev. Arthur J.
Brown of New York, chariman of the
