PDSTOFACE FACTS
 TOLD IN REPORT

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2i.-Dr. Charles F. Grandfield, first assistant postmaster general, in hs annual report submitted today to Postmaster General Hitchcock. shows that the number of postoffices in operation oa June 90. 1910, was 5s.5so. The gross revenues of the postal service dur. ing the fiscal year amounted to $224.I2S.6 .651.6i, an increase of s20. SS6,247-5s. The expenditures for the year aggregatci s229,977 ,224.5o. an increase of sS972 121.sI. The de. felt was s5,s4o. .5esSS. as compared with s17,441,7is.se for the preceding year. Although the business of the postal service increased during the last fiscal year more than tea per cent. the expenditures decreased from an average of S0s per cent. for each of the ten years preceding to 4.o6 per cent. in 1910.
 The number of postoffices estab lished during the year was 1909 and Inc number discontinued 2073. Al residential oifices 257e postmaster: were appointed and at fourth class offices ef2S postmasters were ap pointed.
 The net increase in the expendi ture for post office clerks during tht year was s2.s17 GOO. making the to tai expenditures s31, ,5S3.5S7; for let ter carriers the net increase was s1, s5e, 1925, resulting Tn an aggregate cos Of s30. .3s2, ,579. which was sl6.0i7 les in 1910 than in the previous fisca year.
 An urgent recommendation is mad that the department be given al thority property to adjust the sal aries of assistant postmasters. Ur der the present system 1t frequentl, happens that m assistant postmaste receives smaller salary than som of the clerks whose work he super vises. The department has estimate appropriations to adjust this ane malous condition.
 It is also urged in ihe report tha somewhat increased salaries be pro yided for supervisory employees, IF elussing superiatendents, assistant su perintendenis and foremen. some c them now receive in salary les than is received by some clerks an letter carriers. It is pointed out tha

iRELsNo's ANNIVERSARY

many efficient supervisory officers have received no promot on since |tehir appointment although they are subjected to greater responsibilities than the subordinate employees, greater expenses and longer working hours. The eatire amount requested for the promotion of supervisory of ficers is about s75.0e0.
 It is recommended. too. that pro vision be made for the promotion to higher grades and increased salaries Iof expert distributors of mail in 7arious offices. It is pointed out thaf the services of these men are in- valuable and that they are difficult to replace when they leave the ser vice.
 An urgent recommendation is made that in the event of the death of a post office clerk in the line of his duty provis on be made for the pay ment of a reasonable sum to his heirs, precisely as now Is done in the event of t..e death of a railway postal clerk il the line of duty. It $ shown that the increasing use of labor saving machinery in the mod. ern city postoffice makes greater the liability to acc dents. In the onlce at New York alone four employees
 have been killed and 64 ineapacitated
 since 1908, as the result of injuries received in the performance of theil

"Correct to a T."

Our earliest quotation for this or Tor
the kindred phrases Ito suit one to a
T." ito At to q r." Ito know one to q
T." is Of 1893. Can any one help US
to an earlier example? No one Of our
many instances throws any light upon
its origin. A current obvious conjec-
ture would explain "a IT, as meaning
"a T square," but to this there are va
rious objections. We have no evil
dence as yet that the name at square
goes back to the seventeenth century
and no example Of its being called
simply "a T." and In few II any OF
our instances would the substitution
Of "a T square" for 20 IT, make any
tolerable sense. The notion seems
rather 10 be that Of minute exactness,
as it were ito the minutest point"
But the evidence is mainly negative.
II examples can be found OF ~
square" before 100 or Of its reduction
simply to "T" or Of earlier examples
of "to T" they may help to settle the
actual origin. London Notes and

The First Wire Nail.

Although the wire nail Is a small
thing, it would be big thing to do
without. Probably no one could esti-
mate the millions or billions or tril-
lions-whatever the number may be
that are used in q single year. Yet
the first wire nails In the United States
were made no longer ago than 1872.
The first machine for their manufac'
ture was brought over from Dussel-
dorf and set up in Covington, Ky.
Later this single machine was multi
piled by four and a company was or
ganized. In 1884 the manufacture OF
wire nails was begun in Beaver Falls,
Pa, and the product was already be-
ginning to grow in popularity and use
fuIness. Just a year later a strike
temporarily shut of the manufacture
Of cut nails, and the wire nail was In
such demand that the manufacturers
were swamped. From that time dates
the supremacy Of the wire nail.-Chi-

Number Of Nails to a Horseshoe.

Centuries ago there lived farrler'
Walter lie Brun by name, whose de4-
tsrity at the anvil on the occasion OF
a great fitting meeting on the banks
Of the Thames was noticed by the
then reigning monarch, Edward III,
who rewarded the blacksmith BY
granting him sufficient land adjoining
the fitting green for the erection there
on of a forge. AS quit rent he had to
present annually to the king six horse
shoes and si1ty-one horseshoe nails.
To the modern mind the number OF
nails would appear to be superfuous'
but when it is remembered that the
horseshoes Of that period required ten
nails apiece it will be seen that the
calculations Of Edward III. merely al
lowed one over in case Of accident.
Furthermore, the shoes were oil to be
for the horses fore feet from which
fact some historians draw the infer
ence that the animals ridden in the
knights tournaments were encourag ed
to iniure each other with their front
hoofs.-London News.
