INCREASE IN USE,
 OF AUTOMOBILES

New York, July 24.=The steady progress being made by the au\,mo bile in suppianting the horsedrawn vehicle is clearly shown in the num- Der of coachmen who are training to be ehauffeurs. These men have seen hundreds of wealthy people dispose of their horses and carriages to establish exclusive automobile Stables, ;1nd more recently, the livery stable own CTS replacing their horse-drawn ve- hicles with taNameter cabs. Thus It is only natural. as the enrolment lists of the New York school of au tomobile engineers show, for the coachmen to seek in large numbers | new fie.l of employment and become chauffeurs. The chauffeurs of the modern automobile do not need to be an eXperenced mechanic to keep his car in running order. and consequent ly the coachman is no longer handi- caped in this respect when he seeks lo become chauffeur.

POSTOFFICE DEPT.
 LIVERY BILL

Washington, July 2o-The postofiice department pays the largest livery bill in the world. For this purpose the de partmant has now at it's disposal the sum of $S000,000. For many years Congress appropriated large sums for the purpose of collecting mail in cit ies, designations of which are left to the department This years appropri- ation is the largest of any proceeding year for the hiring of horses and ve
 hicles. It is the intention of the de-
 partment, however, to make an eXpe
 riment which if successful will do away with the use of horses altogether and substitute in their place the auto mobile for the collection of mai A contract has been closed und!r which six automobiles will be furnished in this city for the collection of mail.

BRITISH STEEL MEN
 SHORT OF LABOR

London July 25.-Many British manufacturers of finished iron and steel continue to experience much diff flculty in finding even partial employ ment for their works. and al the present time the production of the country as a whole must be consider ably less than it was at the cores bonding period of last year. Rumors of the alleged steel combine are still ill circulation, but are not credited in quarters which ought to be well in- formed. It also appears that some of the firms said to be included in the reported bridge and constructural work association profess not to have heard of it as yet, except through the medium of the daily press.
