THREE CAPITAL MEN
NAMED DELEGATES
TO CONGRESS HERE
DR.. L. o. Howard, E. B.
Rosa, and w. c. Allen to
Represent Societies.

Three Washington men today were
named delegates to represent national
societies at the fifteenth international
congress on hygiene and denogTaphy,
which meets here September 23-2S.
Dr. L. o. Howard, chief of the United
States Bureau of Entomology, has been
appointed to represent the American
chronological Society, connected with
the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia. e. B. Rosa, OF the Bu-
reau of Standards. and Walter c. Allen.
a Washington electrical engineer. were
named delegates from the Illumi-
mating Engineering Society, whose head
quarters are in New York.
DR.. ]. w. Schereschewsky. director of
the exhibition on health in connection
with the congress, has received an
application from the New York city de-
partment of health for $500 square
feet of space for the departments ex-
hibit, making the largest application yct
received from any city proposing to
install an exhibit.
New York is to show a model tuber-
culosis clinic, a tuberculosis registra-
tion office, infant milk station, models
Of the department buildings, ana the
general method of handling and con-
trolling the milk of the metropolis.
The addition to the Red Cross build
ing, opposite the Pan-Americsn Union
building, which Is to be used for the
exhibition on health, will be completed

to solve was not merely how to handle
one sack safely, but how to take care

have the whole operation not only ahso-
lute1y accurate but absolutely auto
matte How well he succeeded may be
Judged from the fact that one of the
tests now given includes the locking or
the door of the mail car which performs
all the functions of loading and unload
ing without a human being TO touch the
mechanism even If they wished.
In reviewing this invention the Sci
entific american detailed Its operations
about as follows: The car equipment
consists of a receiving arm or chute
and folded when not in actual use, so
that 1t extends but two inches from tho
side of the car. Running Upon rollers
in a false floor between the doors of thu
car Is a steel delivery truck capable of
handling more than 1000 pounds of mail
matter and arranged to dump its con-
tents upon special platform at an ap-
pointed spot along the track. Located
at the side of the track some distance
from the receiving platform is a trip
which comes in contact with its counter
part upon the mail car as the train
passes and rings a gong to notify the
clerk that a delivery is to be made. II
he wishes to skip that station he touches
lever and the delivery Is avoided.
Otherwise. II he has not already done

is put of and on trains in precisely
the same manner as 1t has been for the
past forty years. Where the trains stop
II Is brought to the door of the mail
car in loaded trucks propelled by hand
and handed into the car by men. The
clerks throw out the sacks and they
are loaded on the trucks by hand.
At other stations where the fast mail
trains do not stop the mail is ''deliY-
ered'' by being tossed out the car door,
with q chance that 1t may strike an in
noCcnt bystander, or fall under the
wheels. simultaneously, a catcher-arm,
designed in 1863, swings out and catches
a small bag OF mail. Then the clerk
reaches out and pulls the bag in from
the catCher-arm-provide II is there.
Frequently It is not, for one of the
greatest objections to the present sys-
TEN is that time after time the arm and
the crane fail to connect and the bag
falls to the ground and sometimes under
the wheels and Is cut to pieces. Again.
these bags hold but few pounds of mail
and, as only one bag can be caught at
a station, when there is more than that
amount of mail the fast train must stop
10 take 1t on or the mail must wait for
the local. What this means with 1900
such stations and thousands of mail
cars, in the way of loss of time and
money to say nothing Of the delay OF
millions of pieces of mail, cannot be
even approximated, but 1t is tremen-
dous.
then the Western representative or a
large Eastern concern, saw mail pouch
snatched from a crane, drop beneath
the wheels of a train and be ground
to pieces. Casual conversation with
postal clerks led to the information that
the device had not been improved since
il was originated in 1869. although the
Government had been constantly seek
ing for something that would do the
work more effectively. Being a sys-
tematic man, Hupp made a note of this
fact and decided that when leisure
afforded he would perfect device that
would do the work. 1t was nearly tif-
teen years later that the opportunity
was presented and~Mr. Hupp turned his
attention seriously to the problem of
exchanging the mails between trains
at full speed and railway stations, with
the result that he has worked out a per-

cranes are built of gaspipe, and stand
five feet from the train. They are
loaded from the rear. and swung out to-
ward the track where they hold the
, bags of mail in an upright position until
the receiving chute comes along and
sucks them into the car. where they
are deposited gently on the car floor.

SO, he places on the truck the bags to
be delivered. A wcrm gear attached to
the middle OF one of the axles Of the
mail car runs a driving shaft provided
with clutch which throws she mechan-
ism into gear when tripped. The mech
anism MAKES one revolution and then
automatically throws itself out of gear.
The first quarter of the revolution
opens the car door; the second quarter
pushes out the delivery truck until IL
dumps the mail and opens the receiving
chute; the third quarter pulls the de-
livery truck back into the car and holds
the receiving chute in position while toe
station cranes are passed ana the mGll

the fourth quarter folds the receiving
chute and closes the door. Incidentally.
the mechanism Is so adjusted that the
mail can be delivered without any be-
ing caught, or vice versa, or the sta
ton can be passed without either re-
ceiving or delivering mail, and while the
clerk can easily open the door from tho

Not being philanthropists, the Hupp

is so novel as to floor the officials. In

of them as are necessary. All We ask
is a reasonable percentage of the saw
ing and an allowance for increased IA
cilities." In other words. Mr.. Hupp and
his associates propose to do ali the
work, bear all the expense of INSTALL

absorb only a part of the profit II is
natural that the officials should be

proposition of this kind before and IL

Contagion Avoided
by Tyree's Powder

For the treatment of all catarrhal
and infected conditions of the mucous
membrane, there is nothing so effective
as Tyree's Antiseptic Powder. Not only
is it positive in it's action, but it is alb.
solutely safe in the hands of anyone.
Contains no poisons, thus making it
the ideal sterilizing agent.
Being a powerful germicide and anti
septic, Tyree's Powder is for general
use. Especially efficacious for prickly
heat, poison oak, hives, insect bites,
sun-burn, offensive perspiration, tender
feet itching. Unsurpassed when used
as douche. A twenty five-cent box
will make two gallons standard anti
septic solution. Strongly recommended
by physicians. Sold by druggists every
