WANT BURLESON TO
PRODUCE AUTHORITY
Senators Protest Against His
Cutting Rates in Parcel
Post Service.

The Senate Postofflce Committee
wants to know by what authority Post
master General Burleson has issued an
order reducing parcel post rates and in
creasing the minimum size of packages.
A fine row is in prospect as the re-
suit. Mr.. Burleson has been asked to
come before the committee tomorrow
and explain why he has acted and by
what warrant OF law.
Unless the Postmaster General can
satisfy the committee. that body may
undertake to withdraw any authority
for his action which he claims. The
new order does not go into effect until
August Is.
Burleson Feels Safe.
However, the Postmaster General
feels he has ample authority in the fol-
lowing section OF the parcel post law:
The classification OF articles mailable
as well as the weight limit, the rates
conditions OF Availability under this act,
II the Postmaster General shall find on
experience that they or any of them are
such Is to prevent the shipment OF arti-
cles desirable, or to permanently render
the cost OF the service greater than the
receipts OF the revenue tnerefrom, he
is hereby authorized, subject to the con-
sent of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, after investigation, to reform
from time to time such classification,
weight limit, rates, zone or zones or
conditions, or either, IN order to pro-
mote the service to the public or to in
sure the receipt OF revenue from such
service adequate to pay the cost
thereof"
Fear Heavy Loss.
Senators who oppose the new order
insist 1t would cause the Postoffice Do
partment heavy less. But the support
ers of the order say II would cause a
loss tc nobody but the express COM
panies.
Senator Bryan refused today to dis
cuss Mr.. Burleson's defense until he
should have studied the appropriation
measure. With all other members of
the committee he was surprised at the
assertion of the existence of such legal
authority.
How cistow Feels.

champion of the parcel post idea, re
moves the one means possessed by the
department OF knowing whether II has
been making or losing money at exist
ing rates. No one ever supposed that
the rules would be changed, involving
great loss of revenue on the present
business, without full investigation and

Lord Is Endorsed
By German Societies

The United German Societies have
given their Endorsement to the candi-
dacy of Frank B. Lord, and have asked
President Wilson not to withdraw his
name as excise commissioner. In the
meeting of the joint organization the
question of a fight against the new
excise law was considered. The aid Of
the German-American National Alliance
was sought to revoke the law, and sue-
gestions were made that its constitu-
tionality be tested or that notifications
be sought, so that the German clubs
might have exemption from the Sunday
closing section.

Former Senator Bourne, who framed
the law creating the parcel post. OPP
posed at all times the giving of the
rate-making power to the head of the
department. He anticipated that no
charges in rates would be attempted
until his joint commission on the sub
Ject should have rendered its first re-
port, and until the Interstate Commerce
Commission should have given its ap-
proval.
So far as is known to the Senators,
the interstate commerce body has not
looked into parcel post nances.

love affairs. Mr.. Thompson, how.
ever, was determined to go about
his task In thoroughly scientific
way and to gather the required In
formation as far as possible from
first-hand sources. To do this he had
to become something of an anti.
quarian, for Miss Van Aliens first
suitor, as near as NeWport's oldest
inhabitant can remember, entered
the lists back In 1896, two years be-
fore the Spanish-American war.
Harry Lehr was this first suitor.
He was backed by Mrs. Astor, and
was a great favorite in Newport
what could have been the reason why
he failed to win Miss Van Allen?
"Lehr was too feminine" That
was "Grzzy's" decision after CLEAN
ing all the information he could
from Newporters old enough to travel
back In memory to the gay Summers
Of 1S961S97-1s9S.
Score one for efficiency! ''Grizzy'
Thompson promptly began to make
his masculinity as pronounced as
possible. He wore only clothes that
were rampantly mannish, he danced
little and studiously avoided pleasing
the ladies by retailing club scandals
as Lehr used to do. Soon he was
pleased to note that the more he EN-.
phag1zed the efficient side Of his
nature, the more his favor grew in
Miss Van Aliens eyes.
Bunny" Hawkes. was the next
suitor to claim "Grizzy's" attention.
He had followed on the heels
Of Harry Lehr and had squandered
great sums Of money In lavish enter
tainments for her. Some of the most
costly luncheons and dinners ever
given at Sherry's and Delmonico's
were arranged by him In her honor
and yet, May Van Aliens rejection of
Bunny" Hawkes. was as emphatic
as It had been In the case of Harry
Lehr.
"Ah," said "Grfzzy" Thompson. a
great light beginning to dawn on
him "She doesn't like extravaganza.
/ will be frugal and saving. I'll buy
sandwiches for her at the delicat-
essen shops and take her to lunch
con at Childs's,"
!. On second thought, however. this
seemed bit too crude, even for Mr..

How did "Grlzzy' Thompson do 1T
How was he able to make May Van
Allen love him when so many other
more experienced men had failed ?
Here is the explanation-the ex-
planation that Is just beginning to
dawn on the wise ones
"Grizzy" Thompson succeeded
because he had the intelligence to
see that the science OF efficiency
can be applied to problems of
the heart as we'll as to the more
sordid affairs OF life. Let us see just
how he applied the principles Of
scientific management to the prob
lem Of winning Americas most IA.
nous bachelor maid.
1t was In the Summer of 1911 that
Newport noticed the great friendship
between Miss Van Allen and the good
looking stranger from philadelphia,
who was being sponsored by Mrs.
Adolf Ladenburg. Mrs. Ladenburg
arranged many introductions for him
and Mr.. Thompson. or "Grizzy," as

the Sunday papers to her."

he was going to apply the principles
of this practical science to his court
ship, or how shrewdly he would profit
by the mistakes of all the suitors
who had preceded him.
Just what Is efficiency? Let Mr..
Thompson answer. "It is getting
what you want when you want 1t In
the quickest possible time and with
the least possible exertion-"
What "Grizzy" Thompson wanted
was nothing less than the heart and
hand Of May Van Alen-that part Of
the problem was quite simple. And
the fact that Miss Van Aliens per-
sonal fortune runs high up into the
millions probably did not dampen

head for hours at time
How did all these other fellows go
about It? What did they do that
made their courtship end In failure?"
Like fash "Grizzy" realized that
his chances Of SUCCESS depended
upon his ability to answer these
questions. He forthwith determined
to familiariae himself with all the
previous courtships of Miss Van Allen
and to turn the mistakes of his pre-
decessors to his own advantage.
OF course he already had quite
smattering Of knowledge Of this sub
ject, for no one can be long In New
port without hearing a great deal
about Miss Van Aliens numerous
