Washington, ID. c., Dec. 29.-In
the annual report OF the Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General. DeGraw.
made public today, are several recon-
mendations designed to improve the
rural free delivery service. He de-
scribes In detail the delivery OF mail
In the rural districts throughout the
country and makes an urgent plea
for the establishment OF parcel de-
livery system along the line OF rural
routes. Many farmers, he says, are
demanding such system and its es-
tablishment will mean additional
revenue to the Government amount
ing to millions of dollars.
The total mileage Of rural routes
in operation on June 80 last was
s93,06S; the mileage per route aver
aging 24.17. The average number
of miles travelled daily by rural car
riers was 9S6,993. The average cost
of the service per mile of route was
$3.50 per annum.
Mr.. DeGraw suggests that legisla-
ton be enacted that will extend to
rural carriers and other employees
of the postal service the existing law
which authorizes the Postmaster
General to pay the sum OF $4,000
"to the legal representatives of a
railway postal clerk or sub-railway
mail clerk who shall be killed while
on duty, or who, being injured while
on duty. shall die within one wear
thereafter, as the result of such in
jury" and also will authorize the
payment to such employe, while suf-
fering from injuries SO received, of
his salary for period Of one year
He further recommends that Con-
gress enact legislation at the coming
session which will make provision
for the retirement of superannuated
employees.

CHIEF OF GYPSIES ARRESTED
His Alleged Crime Causes War
Among NOmad Bands.

Wadesboro, N. c., Dec. 27.-A
wanderer claiming to be Mitchell,
chief of all the gypsies in the United
States, is under arrest here, charged
with criminal assault on a woman
in another mans tent in their big
camp near this city.
Mitchell is said to have forcibly
entered the tent occupied by the
woman and her family, and his act
precipitated a riot, many men and
women being injured seriously in the
melee, which lasted several hours.
Cruelties bordering close on to the
barbarous are said to have been in
fiicted, among which was the tying
of men and women to the trees, fog
ging them and leaving them there
for hours exposed to the elements.
All the victims are recovering.
Sheriff Lowry went to the scene of
the trouble and Mitchelrs arrest was
made. He was given hearing here,
at which it developed that the orig
inal trouble developed over tribal
clashes caused by claimed leadership.
Two bands are closely encamped,
each claiming precedence in leader
ship. Mitchell predominated and in
committing the alleged assault he
appears to be conscious Of having
done no wrong, as he says this is his
right, he being the chief. The Of
tense with which he is charged is a
capital crime in North Carolina.

Timberville, Miss.-Miss Gertrude
Gatlin, of Timberville, writes: ST
did not know anything could stop
those womanly pains, from which I
suffered for two years, until I tried
Cardai. I had been troubled with
various female ailments, but they
were cured in little while, thanks
to Cardui." Cardui is especially
adapted for use by ailing women. It
relieves headache, backache, drag
ging feelings, irregu1arity, nervous
ness, misery, and womanly weakness.
1t is safe. 1t is reliable. It does
