ASKS FOR MONEY
FOR POSTOFFICE
IN WASHINGTON
Meyer Discusses Need
for More Space in An
nual Report,
Tells of Better Service
Possible With PropoS-
ed Building.

An urgent request that an appropTi-
alton be made by Congress for the cree
ton of new city postofiice for the
District OF Columbia is, from a wash
ingtOn standpoint, the most important
feature Of the annual report OF Post
master George Won l. Meyer TO the
President.
The crowded condition at the depart
ment building on Pennsylvania avenue
and the great amount Of time and
labor which would be saved II the city
Office was nearer &c the Union Station
are the main arguments offered by tho
Postmaster General in favor Of the
plan.
According 10 the report, a time saving
Of thirty minutes would be made in the
sending out of every mail If the city
postofice was adjacent to the new
Union Station.
Regarding this phase Of the question
the report says, in part:
The Importance Of this is apparent
as a clerk will distribute from 900 tc
1000 letters per minute, and with a
force of twenty-five men at work %. 00C
letters would be expedited in dispatch
This gain may mean an entire day al
the point Of destination"
Need of Space.
Another important factor in the cree
ton of a separate city postoffice is the
crying need of the space now occupied
by the local employees for the Use OF
the department. Because Of the rapid
growth of department work in the pas
few years, II will be necessary to Sc
cure quarters elsewhere unless the space
now occupied by the city postohice Is
made available.
Other questions Of great Importance
to the development and good Of the ser.
vice are discussed. One Of the first
matters suggested In the report is The
appointment OF a permanent official cor.
responding TO the superintendent OF z
mill or the agent Of a great consolidated
manufacturing corporation. who would
hold office continuously through varlou,
Administrations. The duties Of the mar
filling this position would be to act a.
a special adviser to the head of III,
department and would insure a con

THE CRESCENT SYMBOL.
How IL Came to Be Adopted by the
Mohammcdans.

How Il Came to Be Adopted by the
Mohammedans.
The crescent symbol of the Moham-
medans has nothing to do with their
peculiar religious opinions and cere-
monies. 1t was not originally symbol
of the followers of Mohammed at all,
but was first used by the Byzantines.
Thousands of coins have been found
IN all parts of Turkey which date back
20 the time when Constantinople was
known as ByZantium, and on each of
these the symbol of the crescent APP
pears, proving conclusiyely that it
was In use as an emblem among the
people of that region long before By
zantium was overthrown and its name
changed to Constantinople. The story
Of the origin of the crescent symbol is
as follows: When Philip of Macedonia
besieged Byzantium he had planned to
storm the city on certain cloudy
night, but before his arrangements
were completed the moon shone out
and discovered his approach to the be-
sieged citizens. who accordingly march
ed out and repulsed his forces. some
thing which would have been impossi-
bic in the darkness. After that event
all Byzantine coins bore the symbol of
the crescent moon. which was always
alluded to as the savior of Byzan-
tium."
After many years the hordes under
Mohammed H. captured Constantine
pie. At that time the crescent was
used everywhere and upon everything.
Suspecting that there must be magical
power in the emblem, the Mohamme-
dams appropriated it and have since
used 1t as their only symbolic decora-
ton.
