Pittsburgh an effort to stamp
out tuberculosis in the public schools
the Anti-Tuberculosis League decided
here to request the Superintendent OF
Schools of all large cities to issue an
order that teachers shall not wear
skirts coming below their shoe tops.
1t is urged that If necessary ordi-
nances be passed making the long
skirt unlawful.

explained that the long skirts of teach
ers now cause the dust in the class
room to rise, later settling in the
pupils lungs and sowing the first
seeds of consumption. Most teachers
object to heavily oiled floors, she said,
because they ruin skirts. The only
other remedy, she asserted. was to
shorten the skirts.

POSTAL SERVICE
SELF-SUSTAINING

Washington, October 11.-"Before the
close of another fiscal year the federal
postoflice establishment will be self-sus-
tanning. This will be accomplished with
out curtailing in the slightest the service
rendered or lessen in any respect its
efficiency"
This statement was made tonight by
Postmaster General Hitchcock in con-
nection with the announcement that to-
day he had submitted to the treasury
department five days in advance Of the
time fixed by law his estimates of ap-
propriations for the postoffice depart
ment and the postal service during the
fiscal year beginning July next.
During the last fiscal year ended June
30 last Mr. Hitchcock covered back into
the treasury about $6,000000 out of the
actual appropriations made by Congress
for the support of the department. The
deficit of the department for that year
was less than for many years, being
reduced by approximately one-half from
the deficit of $1,000 600 of the year before
1t is the expectation of Mr.. Hitchcock
further to reduce the deficit during the
present fiscal year.
