NEW POSTAL RATES | Officials Certain Return Will Not Meet $68,000,000 Pay Increase. Post Office Department officials still are uncertain of the effect of the new postal rates on aggregate receipts, but they about convinced there will inot be enough of an increase to meet the $68,000,000 postal pay advance they were designed to offset. May postal receipts from 50 selected cities were more than $1.500,000 under the total for March, the last full month under the old postal rates, but Acting Postmaster eneral Bartlett said that the evidence presented by this comparison was not conclu- sive. ““The new rates have been in effect now only a month and a half,”” he said. “May showed an increase over | the revenues of May, 1924, of 5.94 per cent. It is true that an increase of 94 per cent is not as great an in- crease as is expected for the year under the new rates, and there is a very definite reason for this. The jevidence from postmasters from all parts of the country was that the mailings for the period after the law was enacted and April 15, when it went into effect, were extraor- dinarily large. After such an extraor- {dinary maliling it would be expected that the malilings for the following month or so would fall off materially. Under these circumstances a gain of nearly 6 per cent in May over the pre- ceding May is as much as could be expected and, I think, as much as |Congress and the department antici pated. “Each month from now on will be a better eriterion. - Not until the Fall business opens in September and Oc. tober can we get the most reliable data as to what the new rates will produce. But there is nothing to be learned at present which would indi- cate a falling off in revenue, although the increase may not be as great as was figured by Congress or the de- partment.” Misfortune Caused by Man Going Into Wrong House. tch to The Star.

Barney, Gene and Tom, Washing- ton's last team of fire horses, are spending their last day in the service | to which they dedicated the best years | of their lives. At 10 o'clock tomorrow | morning, with ceremonies fitting their faithful records for loyalty, they will be retired to the safe pastures of Blue Plains. Few horses, in or out of the fire service, have ever received more honors than have already been be- stowed upon the three big grays over at No. Eight Engine Company. Already hundreds of vards of films have perpetuated their _ability in harness and when the District au- thorities send them to their deserved reward tomorrow the picture story of - retirement will be sent over the entire country.

As of old, they will falthfully back the engine into the house, and after being unhitched will be led outside and turned over to George S. Watson, chief engineer of the Fire Department, who will in turn present them to Superintendent Fay of Blue Plains. Before Mr. Fay leads them off to their future home, Commissioner Fen- ning will tell him that Barney, Gene and Tom are the pets of the people of Washington, to be treated with the utmost kindness at all times, and never be called upon to perform menial work or a task that might en- danger their health. It is Mr. Fay's | intention to use them only for the | purpose of taking the old folks of the Home for the Feeble and Infirm out for drives or strawrides. Stage Run for Movies. One of the large companies was so anxious to make the story of the retirement of Bar ney, Gene and Tom complete in every detail that it arranged to take them out today over the same course they are to travel tomorrow. For fear of interfering with the spectacular feaures of the run tomorrow the de- partment had refused the camera men permission to ride on the engine.
