EXPECTS To SAVE
100000 YEARLY
Postmaster General Seeks
Tying Device for Railway
Mail Service.

With the expectation Of saving 10000
annually IN the purchase of Irvine, the
Postmaster General has appointed a
committee. consisting of Charles p.
Granfeld. First Assistant Postmaster
General; Joseph Stewart. Second Assist
ant Postmaster General, and p. V. De
GrayY Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General. to investigate the feasibility OF
tying devices TO be used in the railway
mail service.
The Government annually spends S225,-
900 for the purchase OF Irvine used ia
tying packages of letters In the mail.
BY the adoption Of a suitable device, It
IS believed half Of this sum can be
saved.
A similar com mtttec was appointed
some time ago. and while its report
demonstrated that thu postal service
might be advantageOusly equipped with
such a device. the department deter
mined that the risk involved in delaying
work in the railway mail service was
too great to justify the change at this
time
Numerous devices have already been
submitted to the committee. ranging
from steel bands weighing three and
One-half pounds to a piece of cord at
tached 10 button,
The plan Of procedure outlined by the
committee COntemplates a thorough
test and prompt report, and IN order TO
accomplish this all inventors or per
sons interested are invited 20 submit
samples before August !. Devices
reaching the department after that date
will not be considered.

NEW YORK STOCKS QUIET. WITH

NEW YORK. July Trad
ing in tie short session OF the New
York Stock Exchange today was irreg-
ular. Some stocks made gains and
some scored losses. On the whole move
ments were within narrow range and
the volume Of business was small even
for the weekend. Steel common, New
York Central, Reading, and Rock Island
showed the most activity and showed
the lerser gains. InterborO Metropolitan
was again weak, and Southern Pacific
was inclined TO sag.
Good weather for the growing corn
