Advance of 80 Per Cent in the
Former and 1O4 Per Cent Of the

An extraordinary increase in the amount

for money orders received through rural
delivery carriers since 1903 have increased

of registry mail handled by rural delivery
carriers during the same period has IN

value of S372S7 1914. which the de-
partment CONSTITUTES as indicating mat the
patrons of rural delivery fully appreciate
the advantages of the rural service. II Is
further shown that one-tenth or the en-
tire number of money orders issued were
upon applications received through rurai
letter carriers and that the money value
represented thereby was one-hfteenth OF
the entire amount of money TRANSMITTED
in the mails by money orders.
The average amount of each order is

CAPPs HEADS BOTH BUREAUS.
Practical Consolidation as to Con-
struction and Steam Enpineerinp.

Rear Admiral W. l.. Caps, chief con-
structor. United States Navy, has been
designated by the President, as acting
chief of the bureau of steam engineering
Of the Navy Department, vacated by the
retirement of Rear Admiral Barton. This
action marks an important step in the
reorganization Of the Navy Department
1t practically consolidates the bureau Of
construction and the bureau of steam
engineering.
These two bureaus have many inter-
ests in common. The work of both will
be simplified by bringing them under a
single head.
Suggestions in the past for such a
consolidation have been met by the fact
that congressional legislation would be
necessary to effectually combine the two
bureaus into one Such Legislation has
never been secured. 1t Is expected, how
ever, that decided effort with that OBJ
ject in view will be made during the
present winter.
Until the thorough consolidation of
these bureaus has been completed the
fact that Rear Admiral Caps will be at
the head of both of them will, it is said,
accomplish much the same result as
would be an actual consolidation by leg
lSlative authority.
There are some phases of this action
that, according to the view Of some naval
officers, are apt to cause friction. One
is the fact that Admiral Caps. a staff
officer. will be in control of bureau
composed of officers of the line.
1t is believed by Secretary Newberry,
however. that no difficulty of that sort
will be encountered and that the change
of organization will be highly beneficial
to the navy.

Of public morals in Congress. it would
be much easier to get an honest tariff
