I think there should be no great difficulty in the way of providing the new rails {f the leasing or operating agreement is just and reasonable to- ward the smaller corporation.” NEW POSTAGE STAMP ISSUE LESSENS ERRORS Assistant Postmaster General Says 01d Designs Too Similar for Perfect Detection. The Post Office Department is not contemplating a new issue of stamps hecause of a desire of stamp col- lectors for new designs, W. Irving ilover, third assistant postmaster zeneral, declares, but the proposed hanges of the present issue are under onsideration because the best inter- ests of the service warrant it. Mr. Glover said that the appeals of P'ostmaster General Work for sugges- tlons for the betterment of the pos- tal service brought thousands of let- ters from employes suggesting a new issue of postage stamps. They have pointed out, he continued, the ad- visability of a more distinct variation in designs for stam as well as col- grs that do not possess striking simi- arity. “The department knows that thou- sands of dollars in revenue are lost yearly in the postal service, due to striking similarity in stamps, as well as little déViation in color, which pre- Vents postal employes from detecting | short-paid matter,” Mr. Glover con- tinued. “This Hability to error is in- creased by cancellation, which often obliterates the numeral on the stamps to such an extent that errors can- not be detected promptly. In fact, the present issue bears so many fe: tures alike that errors now made in handling mail with these stamps at- tached are, in the majority of case: excusable. “Particularly Is this true in many of the larger post offices, where arti- ficlal light is necessarily being used. Inasmuch as the stdmps from 1 to 7 cents denomination bear the portrait of Washington and the 8 cent to $5 bear the portrait of Franklin, postal clerks cannot easily distinguish the denomination in the rapid hand}ing of mail because of the lack of distin- guishing features.” Mr. Glover pointed out that the cost of preparation of the new special de- livery stamp was very economical, the master die only costing the gov- ernment $438.91, which was more than twice covered by sale of these stamps to stamp collectors for which no service was rendered, the receipts llrom this source being $879.60 up to ate. # _— FOR DISTRESS AFTER MEALS TUse Horsford's Acid Phosphate Dt relief to nauses, sick headsehe Invigorates and refreshes.

Members of the Builders and Manu- facturers’ Exchange are stili talking of the wonderful success of their annual outing held at the Fort Berry Club, Va.. two aays ago. When more than 150 busy contractors and archi- tects of the city cast duties aside and motored up the river. The party left headquarters on K street at 2:30 In the afternoon and on arriving at the attractive club proceeded with a program which included a most exctiing “game;’ with Fred White and Howard Cut- ler, local architects, in the leading roles. » hen Arthur asked who won the match. L. Smith. president of the organization, said that James R. Wheeler, secretary, who acted as referee, had not given a decision up to_early today. Mr. ém!lh umpired the base ball game between the ugliest and hand- somest men on the trip, and was nearly mobbed for what the losers. the good-looking contractors, called “unjust discrimination.” During the afternoon Engineer Commissioner Charles Keller gave an interesting talk on the co-opera- tion that should exist between the government _departments and the builders of the city. Mr. Smith was the other speaker. A chicken supper was served, and when the last car pulled into the city early yesterday morning all declared it the greatest outing ever held by the Exchange. Secretary Wheeler announced to- day that preparations are under way for an immense barge party to be held by the Exchange September 1. Those interested can get details by communicating with him. z PARTNERS SENTENCED. | Convicted on Charge of Receiving Stolen Property. Harry 1. Baer and Abraham Levitt, partners in business, were each sen- tenced vesterday by Chief Justice Mc- Coy to serve one vear in the Washington asylum and jail, following their convic- tion of receiving stolen property. Baer has since been charged with selling “hard cider,” the court was told, and will have to serve the sentence, while Levitt was placed on probation by the court. ‘When counsel for the men had pointed out the conflict in the testimony, the Chief Justice remarked that perjury is becoming so common that he wishes the scientists may soonperfect the “le de- tector,” 50 that the real truth may be learned in court. —_——— ON BATTLEFIELDS BOARD.

GET TIME TO RECOVER Physicians Choose Healthiest in Transfusions for Sick Veterans. Of the 500 men at Walter Reed Hos- pital here more than half have given blood to those comrades who can be cured only by having Injected in their veins the healthy red blood of a strong man. This practice is still necessary, and today Walter Reed boasts of a long list of men who have volunteered to make the blood sacrifice. Usually not have thus been en- rolled. Hardly a day passes, doctors say, that there is not a call for a transfusion. Bloods Are Matched. When the physicians decide an ail- ing patient is in need of new blood a specimen of his is tested to de- | termine which of the four classes of human blood he possesses. The test is then compared with those of the listed men, who have been previously examined, to find one that “matches” the patient. There are usually a num- ber of each type on the list and the transfusion is quickly accomplished. Those on Duty Chosen. The men who volunteer for the charity are chosen among the clerks, ambulance drivers, special police and others on active duty at the hospital. Although elsewhere there is always a high premium paid to the donor of blood for transfusion, these men ask for no payment; their only reward is a ten-day leave to recuperate. If more than a pint is given it is very | weakening. For that reason only the strongest and healthiest men are picked. No man is permitted to give his as often as there are calls for the service there are always plenty of volunteers. - “LIE DETECTOR” GETS NEW CHANCE IN COURT Appeal From Life Sentence Noted by Attorneys for Negro James Frye. The District Court of Appeals will be given an opportunity to pass on the question of the admissability of evidence of the sphygmomanometer or “lie dector” in homicide cases. At- torneys Mattingly and Wood, counsel for James A. Frye, colored, yesterday noted an appeal from a sentence of | life imprisonment imposed today by ! Chief Justice McCoy on Frye, Wwho was recently convicted of murder in the ‘second degree in connection with the killing of Dr. Robert W. Brown, a wealthy colored physician, at his home two years ago. At the recent trial of Frye his coun- sel sought to introduce the ‘lie de- tector” and offered the testimony of Dr. William M. Marston, professor of psychology at the American Univer- sity, concerning a test made by him on Frye with the machine June 10.

The court's order is based on a suit f::r mandamus filed by William L. Clay of Rochester, N.

Clay asks the court to require Secretary Mellon to permit him to resume his duties and to.reinstate him on the rolls of the department at his former salary. Clay blames the loss of his position on an alleged opposition to him by Lew Wallace, jr., chief of the savings against whom he recently filed suit for damages for alleged libel in connection with a letter sent by the Undersecretary of the Treasury to Senator Wadsworth of New York re- flecting on Clay. Charles H. Fullaway, assistant chief of the division, was also made defendant in the libel suit against Wallace. Clay is represented by Attorney H. M. Welch. —_——— HITS PROPERTY SEIZURE.

The board's conclusions accompanied the Secretary’s letter and were to the effect that while there were many cases of “plain injustice” and “numer- ous instances of hardships worked by the hurried manner in which the Army was increased In the world war,” it re- garded the single promotion list as “highly important to the efficiency of the Army.” The committee’s request for a new | survey of promotion conditions was based, Mr. Wadsworth said in his orig- | inal letter, on the fact that there had - — == | — Bu Anita Loos’ been many complaints against the ar rangement and the commi;!ee felt bt‘hq RED-HOT ROMANCE a new report might produce a basis Sl s e for amelioration of some of the con: ditions criticized.
