Oranpe-Lesf Essence.

An important industry of Paraguay
is the extracting Of the essence Of or
ange leaves and exporting it to France
and the United States, where it is used
in making soap and perfumery. There
are immense orange forests in Para
quay which grew from seeds planted
15O years ago by the Jesuit priests,
and scattered through the forests are
small factories where the essence is
taken from the leaves. In addition to
exporting it, the natives use it as a
healing ointment and as hair tonic

Money order Contract Case.

Washington June .2G--Asst. Atty
Gen Robb Of the postoiIice department
today submitted to First Assistant
Postmaster General Wynne a decision
In the money-order contract case. which
holds that the bid OF Paul Herman Of
New York, who submitted bid OF Si5,-
600 below that Of the present contract
ors, meets the requirements Of law and
that he is therefore entitled to receive
the contract
This is the case which led to the recest
dismissal Of Supt Metcalf Of the money
order bureau. The present decision has
a considerable bearing ON Mr. Metcalt's
appeal for a rehearing, now pending be-
fore the president. Mr. Metcaf opposed
acceptance of the Herman bid, MIR.
RObb holds that the award Of the con-
tract to any other than the lowest bid
der In this case would be in contrayen-
ton Of the interests OF the government
and against sound public money.
he says that the lowest bidder has
furnished evidence Of his financial re-
sponsibiity and of his mechanical
ability, and that the contention Of the
present contractors, who have been
fighting Herman's bid, that a bidder
must have plant reasonably NJ TO full
~ the contract. would result in sitting
competition, as no establishment could
afford to equip plant on the mere ex-
pectation Of securing contract.
