YOU MAY HAVE TO
GET A MAIL BOX

Persons who live in cities and haven't
mail boxes in front of their residences are
likely not to receive any mall after June
30. 1911, says a Washington dispatch.
Certainly not II a provision of the post
office appropriation bill becomes a law
The provision prohibits any Ietter-car
rier from delivering any mail at any
house unless there is a suitable mall box
on the outside to receive IL. II means
that Uncle Sam Is tired of having his
uniformed carriers walt for people to take
their time in answering their door bells.
After many experiments X was found
that the average mail-carrier loses about
thirty seconds In ringing each door bell

that this provision VIII greatly increase

GERMANY'S STAND

Promoters of American Ma.

Are Placed at Sea.
MORAL SUPPORT OF
GOVERNMENT EXPECTED
Evidence That Machinery Inter

petition of Americans.

BERLIN, Feb, 24.-The statement of
Herr Delbrueck, minister of the inte'
rior, in the reichstag, that the govern
ment had not given. and would not
give, material or moral support to the
American exhibition of machinery IN
this city next summer has caused as
tonishment upon the part of promoters
of the exposition,
The promoters are German capitalists
such as Isador Loewe of the Mauser
Rifle Manufacturing company and Iud-
company. who obtained, before ap~
proaching Americans on the subject,
what they thought was the moral sup
port of the imperial government. When
Baron Won Brandenstein went to the
United States as the representative of
the exposition management, one of the
attaches of the German embassy at
Washington, Baron Hartmann Won
Richthofen, was assigned to accompany
him to New York and assist HIM in his
mission.
Were Expecting Support.
They visited prominent New York
ers, and it was understood that the
idea of the foreign Office was to help
the enterprise as far as possible NOR
ally without committing the govern
ment to official or financial obllga
tlons.
Many distinguished Americans who
signed the appeal TO American indus
tries for participation in the exposi-
tion did so under the impression that
this German enterprise was supported
morally by the German government.
Prince Henry of Prussia is chairman
Of the German reception committee, and
among those associated with him arc
Grand Duke Adolph Frederick of Meek.
lcnburg-Strelitz. Prince Haztfcldt and
Prince Henickel Donnersmark.
Where Trouble Lies.
Since the exposition was launched
some of the machinery interests Of
Germany have appeared to think that
there was danger ahead for the Ger
man industry, Various newspapers, es-
pecially the RhenIsh estphaelische
Zeitung, published at Essen, have op-
posed the American exposition. Ap-
parently 1t was the recognition of these
objections that led Minister Delbrueck
to make the declaration on behalf of
the government He was speaking yes
terday as the representative of the
chancellor and doubt is expressed
whether he knew that the government
had actually given its moral support
to the enterprise. 1t also has been un-
derstood here that the appointment Of
commissioners by the department of
commerce and labor of the United
States was due 10 the desire Of the
American government to aid an under
taking already strongly supported by
the German government,

half inch larger in cross section, but
measures the same at the bead.
This makes the eighth special size made
by this company for cars that are over
loaded beyond the capacity of their
original tires. Special sizes are pre-
ferred by motorists because they are
easier riding than the regular sizes, last
much longer and are less likely TO be in

tires. According TO a factory official OF
the Firestone company. practically all OF
