PROMOTION FOR NYMPO JONES
WASHINGTONIAN MOVES UP IN
CONSULAR SERVICE.
Office Filled by Him at Winnipeg,
Canada, Elevated to Consul
late General.

Probably none of the promotions in the
into effect next Wednesday, the beginning
of the next fiscal year, is of more local
interest than that of DR.. John E. Jones.
formerly consul at Winnipeg, Canada,
whose office has been raised to the grade
and dignity of q consulate general, with
corresponding increase of compensa-
ton.
DR.. Jones. known to his friends as
"Nympo," is a Washington boy. born and
bred, and for many years was a valued
member Of the staff of The Evening Star.
He was appointed consul at the Manchur-
ian port of Dalny in July, 1905, and was
subsequently made consul general at that
place. In March, 1907. he was transferred
to Canada as consul at Winnipeg. and
his successful administration Of the affairs
of that consulate with its large and in
creasing business led to the elevation OF
the office to the highest grade in the serv-
ice-that of consul general
Tribute to Growing Importance.
In speaking of the advance in the grade
Of the post the Winnipeg Telegram of
recent date says:
1.-The raising of Winnipeg from a con-
sulate of the United States under the
supervision of the Montreal office to a
consulate general, having direct relations
with Washington and the supervision of
all United States interests west of the
lakes, is tribute to the growing impor-
tance of western Canada and of the re-
public's interests here.
But, IL it is a tribute to our growing
importance it is no less a tribute to the
present United States consul, DIR. Jones.
that the significance of the great colonial
has been thus early made apparent to the
government at Washington. And it is
the general hope and anticipation of the
people of Winnipeg that the change Will
be made the opportunity for adequate APP
probation of his services to his own gov
eminent and to us.
Tact Of Diplomat.
"To the discharge of his ordinary duties
as consul he has always united the UNI
failing tact and courtesy of diplomat.
In cenfenting the peaceful alliance be-
tween Canada and the United States for
the development and peoplnG of our vast
territory the influence of such men is val
liable.
Then DIR. Jones has made a complete
and patient study of the conditions, racial,
commercial and international, affecting
the development of western Canada, and
on many subjects is recognized as an au-
thority. BY experience and ability and
by the fact that he enjoys the confidence
and esteem of this community he is emil
nently fitted to fill the more responsible
position of consul general

Express Companies Object to the
Method Adopted.
INCREASES POSTAL DEFICIT
Requirement Which John Wesley
Gaines Caused to Be Inserted in
the sundry Civil Bill.
MAY MEAN GREAT SAVING
INCREASES POSTAL DEFICIT

The Treasury officials have only recently
discovered highly interesting fact in re-
gard to the appropriations for sundry
civil expenses of the government which
escaped general attention at the time the
bill was enacted. 1t pertains to the ship
ment of fractional silver coin from the
several subtreasuries of the United States
to banks in various parts of the country.
1t now appears that in the rush attend
ing the passage of the sundry civil bill
John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee caused
to be inserted in the measure a provision
that one-half Of the 10000 appropriation
for the transportation Of coin shall be
expended for registered mail. Heretofore
shipments of currency have uniformly
been made by express and the express
companies have been obliged to make
good any loss by theft or other accident
in transportation.
against the new order of things, espe-
cially as Mr.. Daskam, chief of the bureau
of public moneys in the Treasury Depart
ment, has ruled that the law means that
mail before any part of the appropriation
is expended for express charges. 1t is
believed at the Treasury Department that.
as the charge for registering package
is only cents, $4,000 will be sufficient to
pay the entire cost of transporting coins
under this system for a year, and the
express companies Will therefore lose the
entire business.
New Method Opposed.
Objections of several kinds have been
raised against the change in the method
of transporting fractional coin. Under
the postal regulations the weight of pack
ages must be limited to four pounds each.
This regulation will: prove to be de-
cided inconvenience when it comes to
shipping large amount Of coin from a
subtreasury to any particular bank. An
other objection is that the consignee can
collect only to the extent of $25 In case
Of loss by registered mail. The express
companies are responsible for the full
value Of the packages they handle for
the government, and they are bonded for
that purpose.
Weight Of Mails Increased.
The new plan is also criticised because
of the fact that the mails may be SO in
creased in bulk or weight in certain
routes by the shipment of silver coins
that the government will be obliged to
contract for additional screen-wagon serv-
ice in certain cities. and the additional
weight may increase the cost of carrying
the mails on certain railroads. The lat
ter contingency is hardly probable, but it
is one OF the possibilities Of the new or
der Of things.
The Post Office Department will prob
ably not regard the new system with any
favor. for the packages of silver will be
sent under frank, and it was long ago
demonstrated that the ranking privilege
forms anything but an economy in many
cases. and that there would be no postal
deficit If 1t were not for the great volume
Of free business.

Use of Salt in COOKING.

II one portion of vegetable is

In salted water. decided difference
Is perceptible in the tenderness OF
the two, Those boiled in pure water
are vastly inferior and, in many
cases, will be almost tasteless. Salt
brings out the delicate flavor of
caulifower, cabbage, potatoes, peas,
beans and practically all vegetables.
Onions cooked in water without salt
can be rendered almost tasteless. AS
salt increases the temperature of
boiling water above the average
temperature of pure boiling water its
cooking advantage is at once appar-
ent. Salt in cold water is used to
drive insects from vegetables grow

release themselves from the leaves
when they are plunged in salty wa
