sThe haul charge depends upon.
the distance the haul is made. Where

becomes a serious element OF expense,
the distance OF the haul becomes to
that extent a thing to be considered

III 3 uniform rate was given for
eleven pound packages all over the
United States, one of two things
would necessarily follow--either the
short distance hauls would be carried
at very much higher rates than the
expenses Of the service to the gov

to rate proportioned to the cost to
the government of the short distance
hauls, then the long distance hauIs
would be. carried by the government

The government has contracts
with the various railroads for the
transportation of the mail. The only
equitable plan for parcels post; is
to consider first the expenses to the
government OF handling packages.
and, second, the expenses to the gov
eminent for hauling the packages.
With these two elements OF cost con
sidered, proper charges would involve
much smaller rates for short distance
than for longer. distances.

OF hauls In which our people were
interested. | became satisfied that
the haul by the rural carrier was the
most important. and then after this
haul the short distance of from so to

require from a parcels post limited to

but these amendments were defeated.
The bill, however, authorized the

Result: Federal Primaries.

With the first trial of Presidential
primaries It has been made plain that
they are irreconcilable with national
conventions. Party law for such con-
vsntions, being supreme to statutory
law of the States, cannot help but come
in conflict with primary enactments.
We have had occasion to see the law
of Ohio attempt to overthrow the unit
rule of the Democratic convention, while
in California the Republican National
Conventions regulation, calling for the
election of delegates by districts, but
not at large, is sought to be abrogated.
Besides, there is one very important
factor, that of the cost Of the present
method of holding primaries separately
in the various States 1t has been COM
puted that it has cost the States and the
delegates to both conventions no less than
S4.ooo,ooo to have the election. In some
instances the expenditure was enor-
nous, as in cases where the primaries
were held for the sole purpose of choos-
ing the national delegates.

universal and if it were held under a
Federal law the same day everywhere,

FAULTY HANDLING
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT
Board Of Inquiry to Make Report
on Deaths of Lieut.. Hazlehurst
and Gap Welsh.
NO MORE FLIGHTS THIS WEEK

Injudicious manipulation Of the Wright
biplAne which crashed suddenly 20 d
earth at College Park Tuesday night
carrying to instant death Lieut. Leigh
ton w. Hazlehurst, Of the Seventeenth
United States Infantry, and Arthur H.
Welsh, the professional Wright aviator,
is thought to be the cause OF the fatal
accident by the boerd Of army ofacers
which is investigating the disaster. The
preliminary findings OF the board yes
terday were to this effect A formal re-
port will be submitted to the War De-
partment to-day.
The board Of Investigation Is composed
OF Capt. F. B. Hennessy, chairman; Capt.
Paul Peck, Lieut. r. G. Kirkland, and
Lieut.. Thomas De Witt Milling. A care
full inspection OF the wrecked machine
was made yesterday, and several persons
who saw the accident were questioned.
The testimony was 10 the effect that
as the disaster occurred, Welsh, who was
operating the aeroplane, was bringing Il
down from height OF about l50 feet.
His intention was TO descend to a dis
tance OF about fifteen feet from the field
and then with the added impetus soar
upward on the altitude test. Members OF
the board yesterday were Of the opinion
that in swoSping downward. Welsh al
most shut on his power, and then. at
the point Of preparation for the upward
turn. worked up the engine 10 full power.
II Is the belief OF army officers that the
sudden turn upward, together with the
speeding OF the propeIlers at the same
time, suddenly placed too great a strain
on the wings Of the machine, causing
them to collapse.
The funeral OF Welsh will be held at
2 o'clock this afternoon from the resi-
dence Of Paul Harmel, the aviator's IA

More Sanitary Bread.

Wrapped bread should have the at
tention of the people of the District. 1t
would be-will be-new to many Of the
people of the District, but It has been
tried and proven popular elsewhere. Our
health laws require our meats to be
covered during transportation through
the streets: our milk must be shown by
test to be pure; our fruits and vegeta-
bles are protected from contamination
of dust and foul air; even some Of the
cheaper brands of cigar are marketed
in waxed paper containers which insure
the consumer cleanliness.
Some of the Capital community
bakers have shown themselves ready
and able to keep step with progress,
One of them not only said he would
wrap his bread in paper, but he did,
He desisted from the admirable prac-
tice for some reason unexplainable to
the general community. The people OF
the District ought not to stand still in
this respect
Wrapping breads at the factory will
keep them purer and better and more
comely to look upon. There is every
thing to commend the movement to Sc
cure perfectly sanitary bread.
Ask your baker for wrapped bread
and bring to happy issue the campaign
which some of the Districts wisest and
best homekeepers have instituted.
