WASHINGTON, Sept, 15.-Postmast-
er General Gary is devotlng considera-
bic of his attention these days to an In
vestigatIon of the wisdom of establish
ing postal savings banks. When in the
last Congress a bill was sent to him
providing for such institutions he de-
cllned to endorse 1t because, as he said,
he had had no opportunity TO lnvestl-
gate the subject. He has since taken
up the matter, reading all the literature
bearing upon II he could procure and
seeking opportunity TO discuss its mer-
It's with those familiar with 1t, The
result Is that he has become convinced
of both the wisdom and the ability of
postal savings banks and has decided to
have a bill prepared providing for their
establishment and to recommend It's
passage by Congress. In all probable
ity he will treat the subject In his an
nual report at some length. He has not
yet decided upon the details of any
plan. but will soon give his attention to
them

THE SlX.DAY RACE.

Again large crowd turned out to
watch the lady cyclists spin around the
saucer-shaped track. The race proved
more exciting than those of the preced-
Ing nights, all the riders apparently be-
ing in fine trim, Miss Howard, who
has been tagging behind thus faT,push-
ed to the front several times and set a
good pace. Babe" made several
sprlnts, as did also Vine. During the
last part OF the first hour Allen gained
another lap on Wagner. Just how 1t
happened Is hard to tell. Allen made
Jump. Wagner was caught In pocket
behind two OF the riders and before she
could pass them, Allen had opened q
gap, which Wagner could not close
again. This makes Allen winner for
the three days two laps ahead OF Wag-
ner, her nearest competitor, for first
place. Miss Young rode very well dur
ing the first hour, but seemed TO lose
control OF her wheel during the second
hour. She is certainly improving, but
should learn to ride slow before she at
tempts TO sprint.
The score for the six hours riding
ending last night, Is as follows:
