gument is made against the parcels post that was made against the pos tai savings bank-that it is introduc- ing the government into a business which ought tG be conducted by pri- vate persons, and is paternalism. The postOffice department has a great plant and a great organization, reach ing into the most remote hamlet of the United States. and with this ma chinery it is able to do a great many things economically, that if a new organization were necessary i would be impossible to do without Cxtrava- gant expenditure.

PARCELS POST.

With respect to the parcels post I respectfully recommend its adoption on all rural delivery routes, and that eleven pounds-the international limit be made the limit of carriage in such post. and this with view to its general extension when the income Of the pOstoffice will permit it and the postal savings banks shall have been fully established.

EXTENSION OF THE CLASSIFIED
 SERVICE.

Upon the recommendation of the postmaster general have included
 in the classified service all assistant postmasters. and I believe that this giving q secure tenure to those who are the most important subOrdinates of pOstmasters will add much to the efficiency of their offices and an economical administration A large number of the fourth class postmas- ters are now in the classified service
 think it would be wise to put in the classified service the first. second and third class postmasters. IL is more logical to do this than to clas- sify the fourth class postmasters for the reason that the fourth class post offices are invariably small. and the pOstmasters are necessarily men who must combine some other business with the pOstmasterhip. whereas. sec ond and third pOstmasters are paid sufficient amount to justify the re- quirement that they shall have no other business and that they shall devote their attention to their post office duties. To classify first, sec ond and third class postmasters would

Continued From Page 9, Section Il merce, and I renew my recommenda- ton in that behalf
 l invite the attention of congress to the great number of claims which at the instance of congress have been considered by the court of claims and decided to be valid claims against the government The delay that occurs in the payment of the money due un- der the claims injures the reputation of the government as an honest debt or and I earnestly recommend that those claims which come to congress with the judgment and approval of the court Of claims should be promptly met
 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE.
 One great crying need in the United States is cheapening the cost of liti- gation by simplifying the judicial pro- Cedure and eXpediting justice Under present conditions the poor man Is at a woefu1 disadvantage in a legal con test with a corporation or rich op- ponent.
 <The necessity for the reform exists both in the United States courts and in all state courts. In order to bring it about, however. it naturally falls to the general government bv its example to furnish a model to all states. A legislative commission ap- pointed by joint resolution Of con- gress to revise the procedure in the United States courts has as yet made no report
 Under the law Of the supreme court the United States has the power and is given the duty to frame the equity rules of procedure which are to ob- tain in the federal courts of first in- stance In view of the heavy burden of pressing litigation which that court has had to carry, with one or two of it's members incapacitated through i'll health, it has not been able to take up problems of improving the equity procedure which has practically re- mained the same since the OrganiZa- ton of the court in 17S9. It is reason ableto expect that with all the va cancies upon the court filled it will take up the question of cheapening and simplifying the procedure in equity in the courts of the United States
 The equity business is much the more important in the federal courts, and I may add much the more eX- pensiye. l am strongly convinced that the best method of improving judi cial procedure at law is to empower the supreme court to do il through the medium of the rules of the court as in equity. This is the way in which it has been done in England and thoroughly done. The simplicity and expedition of procedure in the Eng fish courts today make a model for the reform of other systems I cannot conceive any higher duty the supreme court can perform than in leading the way to a simplification of procedure in the United States courts
 RELIEF OF SUPREME COURT FROM UNNECESSARY APPEALS.
 No man ought to have as a matter of right a review of his case by the supreme court He should be satisfied with one hearing before a court of first instance and one review by a court of appeals The proper and chief usefulness of the supreme court. and especially of the supreme court of the United States. is in the cases which come before it so as to eX- pound the law. and especially the fun

| federal judges, by which the chiei ' justice of the supreme court shall re ceiVe $l7500 and the associate jus tices S17.OOO: the circuit judges con- stituting the circuit court of appeals
 shall receive s1O.000, and the district ! judges S9,O00. The cost of living is
 such, especially in the large cities
 that even the salaries fixed in the
 proposed bill will enable the incum- ! bents to accumulate little. if anything to support their families after theiI death.
 POSTOFFlCE DEPARTMENT. Postal Savings Banks-At the last session congress made provision for the establishment of savings banks by the postoffice department of this government, by which. under the gen. eral control of trustees, consisting of
 the postmaster general. the secretary
 of the treasury and the attorney-gen-
 eral. the system could be begun in
 a few cities and towns, and enlarged
 to cover within its operations as
 many cities and towns and as large a part of the country as seemed wise.
 so that savings banks will be opened in some cities and towns on the first of January. and there iwll be a
 gradual extension of the benefits of
 the plan to the people of the coun- try.
 As I have said. the pOstoffice de- partment is a great business depart ment and I am glad to note the fact that under its present manage ment principles of business economy and efficiency are being applied. For many years there has been deficit in the operations of the postoffice de- partment which has been met by ap- propriation from the treasury. The appropriation estimated for the de- partment~ last year over and above the receipts of the department was 17.5$00,000. I am glad to record the fact that of that Sl7.500.OO0 estimated for S11,50000O were saved and re- turned to the treasury The personal efforts of the postmaster general se cured the effective cooperation of the thousands of pOstmasters and other postal officers throughout the country in carrying his plans of re- organization and retrenchment The re- suit is that the postmaster-general has been able to make his estimate of expenses for the present year so low as to keep within the amount the postal service is expected to earn. It is gratifying to report that the reduction in the deficit has been accomplished without any curtail- ment of postal facilities. On the contrary. the service has been greatly extended during the year in all its

One of the favorite models for the
summer gown is the smart linen af-
fair braided or embroidered in white
or color. Usually the linens of a
delicate shade have white braiding,
and the effect is delightfully."- cool and
summary. White linens, in accord
ance with the latest fancy, are done in
a co1ored braid, and one of the most
striking combinations is white with
dark blue braiding, giving something
of the Bulgarian peasant effect-and,
of course, anything along the peasant
costume lines is the ultra chic note
this season.
These little braided frocks are ideal
for the home dressmaker, as the cut
of the gown itself is the simplest
thing possible-the irregularity of the
design demanding a very plain back
ground to make a harmonious whole
Therefore, any woman clever
enough to make her own simple frocks
can have a really charming creation
by adding little handWork
The gown sketched is French
model whose lines are especially
graceful and becoming. The original
gown was Of rose color linen, braided
in the finest white cotton braid, with
a dainty white frill at the neck and
sleeves, and the hallmark OF Paris
gown--that chic touch Of black-at
the neck. Tiny gold buttons finish
the blouse at either side of the cius-
