NEW EXPRESS RATES IhEFFEG1

Washington, Aug. LA general re-
duction in rates was put In effect to-
day by practically all OF the express,
companies operating in the United
States. The filing Of the new tarihs
followed the announcement OF the In
terstate commerce comfission that a
thorough probe would xbe made into
the rates, classiilcatioH regulations
and practices OF the express compa-
MES. A growing fear OF parcels post
legislation may also have influenced
the express officials to reduce their
rates.
The reductions put into effect today
are sweeping, and in the case OF long
hauls to non-competitive points the
cut Is especially deep. About 80 per
cent of ali express traffic in the United
States is affected. The double grad
uate system of charging for packages
under one hundred pounds weight ID
abandoned The new tariffs, however
will not change the plans OF the inter
state commerce commission to under
take a thorough investigation. Ex-
aminers will be sent all over the couh-
try and the books of the companies
will be thoroughly searched.

DIRECTIONS FOR SENDING
INSECTS FOR EXAMINAT ION

The office of Wilmon Newell, state
entomologist of Texas at A. & NJ. col
lege, Is constantly in receipt OF speci'
mems of insects which are not accom-
panied by letter Sometimes a letter
is received asking information relative
to some insects, but no specimen is
received.
HARPER Dean, assistant state ento-
mologist, wishes to call the attention
of farmers to the importance OF fur
nishing both letter of explanation and
specimens when quick information is
desired. 1t is impossible to tell any
thing about the majority of Insects
unless specimens are sent.
When sending insects for determine
ton. send living insects in strong
wooden boxes by mail-or tin boxes.
No openings are necessary to admit
air. Whenever possible enclose some
of the food plant for the insect to sub
sist on en- route; specimens showing
injury done are most desirable.
Do not send insects in envelopes or
pasteboard boxes; they are invariably
crushed beyond recognition, and, be.
sides, there is danger that they Will
escape en- route and infest the fields
or orchards of others, thereby render
ing the sender responsible for dam
ages.
The name and address OF the sender
should be plainly written on every
package, and it is against the postal
regulations to enclose letter in a box
by mail unless sent at letter postage
Specimens of caterpillars, worms,
etc, in alcohol or other liquid, can be
sent by mail only when in regular
mailing tubes.
Specimens of twigs, living plants,
etc, should be wrapped in damp Cnot
wet) cotton cloth so as to arrive in
fresh condition.

MOTOR REGULATION
IN TWO STATES

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug L. Motorists Of
st. Louis and throughout Missouri hail
the Hull automobile law, which be-
came effective today, as great i'm
provement over the old regulations
governing motor vehicles. Under the
new state law automobilists will not
hereafter be subjected to petty annoy
ances on the country roads at the
hands of sheriffs, deputies, constables
and other rural officers who look upon
the motorist as criminal. There VIII
be no more payment of tribute to use
the country highways Of Missouri. I'm
der the new lact the legal speed limit
on public roads is twenty-five miles
per hour.
ST. Louis motorists declare that in
the past the driver of car, no matter
how careful and mindful of the rights
of others, has been regarded as legiti-
mate prey by the rural officers OF the
law and has suffered much from offi-
cial pettiness and impertinence. I'M
der the old law about $1,000 motor
vehicles were licensed by the state,
but the number is expected to double
within short time.

Mr.. w. NJ. Asworth, an eminent Eng
lish authority on railroads, when
asked to criticise American railways,
said: THE counter between the-cus-
toner and the salesman is too wide.
Matters that arise in Kansas, in Texas,
in the far South, in the far West, and
need prompt adjustment have to be
referred to offices a thousand or two
thousand miles away and the citizen
in the far West thinks he is dealing
with a machine. He wants to deal
personally with flesh and blood
neighbor. | think that in these yari-
GUS important sections of the country,
the large railroad systems should have
real executive offices with the largest
possible discretion to deal with local
questions on the spot. | also think
that the ranking officers of your rail-
ways should every now and then visit
the different communities along their
lines and cultivate the personal ac-
quaintance Of their citizens"
No arbitrary amount of money that
should be annually invested in bust
ness organization can be named, as
the size of the town and the amount
of wealth in the town will indicate
this. However, little or no effective
work can be done on less than $4,000
per year, and the more money invest
ed, the greater the results will be.

authority of cities, towns and counties
to regulate automobiles and repeals
all municipal acts or parts OF acts
which conflict with the state law. FRO
fessional chauffeurs are required to
pass state examinations and to regis
ter with the secretary of state. Road
rules are provided to govern all high-
ways. Road races are prohibited I'M
less given official sanction and pro
vision made for adequate patrolling OF
courses. Joy riders who use cars moi
their own are to be punished by i'm
prisonment not exceeding two years.
A new system of taxation of motor
vehicles is inaugurated, ranging from
SO for motorcycles and automobiles
up to 2S-horse power to $40 for Az
horse power cars. Included In the ac'
are twenty-five laws of the road Tor
the motorist. and should he forget
any of these he becomes subject to q
heavy fine.

One of the late commercial secre-
taries' bulletins says: I'm campaign
for civic improvement the women are
most valuable assets, and with the
least possible encouragement the
women are not only willing but glad
to take up a movement for city
beautiful" This is every word true.
But the trouble with the women is
that they are too short-winded. Civic
improvement requires patient, per-
severing, persistent work, some of
which is disagreeable and difficult.
The women find that their efforts are
not appreciated and become discour-
aged. It is pleasanter to analyze the
characters of Shakespeare's heroines.

the Dallas Auto Club touring party
reached Calvert at 1888 a. m. There
is much sand in the road between
Marlin and Calvert, and the pace was

that the little fellows could keep up,
