ABUSE OF POSTAL LAW SECOND GLASS MATTER CAR
 REED AT A LOSS. A Reform in This Matter Would Make one-Cent Postage Prac- ticable at No Distant
 Date.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Third Assistant | Postmaster General Edwin c. Madden, l In his annual report recommends the
 consolidation of third and fourth class mail matter; and increases of the limit of indemnity for the loss of registered
 matter from $1o to $1OO and that postal | employees be made liable for the value or | registered matter lost through their care | lessness.
 The total postal revenues for the year frend1 all sources were $lll ,193 being | s, ,727 less than the expenditures. This l is exclusive of the cost of transporting l the mails over the subsidized Pacific l Railroads that have not yet settled their bonded accounts with the government. The total value of stamped paper and stamp books issued during the year was | Sl0A 7S5, 987. The issue of postage stamps books is regarded as a successful exper1-
 ment The 469S.4 423 stamp books issued
 have cost the department A.69 per thou
 sand to manufactur There were 659.-
 614 800 postal cards issued. The amount
 of second class matter mailed free of
 hostage to actual subscribers within the
 county of publication constitutes practi- caIly seven per cent of the entire amount mailed.
 MT. Madden says i. is but a question of time, if the rate of increase of second class matter continues, before it will con sume most If not all or the revenue de- rived from other classes of mail matter.
 While second class matter, combined with its necessary equipment, constitutes approximately twO-thirds of the con- bined weight of all the four classes of mail matter, it furnishes only slightly over per cent of the revenue from all postages About 50 per cent of this nominal and unsustaining rate, MT. Mad 1 den says, is due to construction of the statutes which has permitted the admis- sion of a great number of alleged news papers and periodicals which are merely pretensions. The principal abuses of the pound rate named by the report are sample copies, bulk subscriptions, books serials, return copies to news agents and premiums to subscribers, the latter be- ing characterized as the king of abuses. The hope is expressed that the next an- nual report will show the second-class of mail practically free from at least the larger abuses. This reformation, the | report says, may make one cent postage practicable at no distant date

WANT GIN SUPPRESSED
CITIZENS OF TWO STREETS FEN
 TER A PROTEST.
They Claim the Presence of a Cotton Ginnery in Their Midst Would Depreciate the Value of
 Their Property

The Montgomery City Council last night received a protest from citizens residing in the neighborhood of Jefferson and McDonough Streets against the location in that vicinity of a, cotton ginnery. to the City Council to prohibit the Mont gomery Cotton and Gin Company from operating ginnery on the north side of Jefferson between Lawrence and McDon- ough Streets. It recites that this com. pany is owned by Mcdonald and Wag- ner. whose ginnery is now at 2 Jefferson Street. The Company has recently pur- chased the vacant lot on Jefferson Street near McDonough and contemplates erect ing a ginnery at that point. The peti- tioners contend that if a ginnery is locat- ed on this vacant lot it will greatly de- preciate the value of their property and make the residences in that section less valuable.
 The petition was referred to the Com mittee on Judiciary and Ordinances.

and relaxation. This simple house
coat is specially designed by May Man
ton to meet morning needs and IS
carefully cut and shaped. AS shown
in the large drawing the material IS
eiderdown flannel in soft pink with
bands of satin ribbon in the same
shade, but the flannel can be found in
various colors and the ribbon can be
made to contrast with equally good eff
feet, while French and Scotch flannel,
fannelette, cotton velours and fleece
lined albatross are all appropriate. The
fronts are loose and lap over in double
breasted fashion at the upper portion,
but are cut away below the waist in a
novel and attractive manner. The
back includes O centre seam that, with
the underarm cores, gives a graceful
fitted effect that is universally becom-
ing. The sleeves are in bishop style,
with narrow pointed cuffs, and at the
neck is q turnover collar that has
pointed ends and is cut in q single
roint at the back.

dunn size three and one-eight yards

The skirt is cut in three pieces a
sored front and circular sides, and IS
heightened by a graduated circular
founce scanned to the lower edge. The
foundation for the waist is a smoothly

are quite simple Notwithstanding that

Good Measure.

The tailors are quite absolute in
carrying out the ukase which fashion
promulgates regarding the length OF
the skirt. The skirt must 'look long
and yet clear the ground" They are
not even to touch the pavement, still
less sweep it. Yet no sane woman de-
kires her regular walking Skirt TO look
like a "rainy daisy" or outing skirt.
Avoid if possible any Sporty ten
dency in too great shortening OF the
skirt. Sit down in it, as we'll as be
fitted standing up, before you decide
on the length Of the hem. TO nave a
skirt so cut that il Will look sulfl-
ciently long and yet clear the pave
ment is the best choice. Good meas
ure is the tailor's rule.
