For 5O-Pound Limit.

Plans for extension of the Parcel post
service were announced Monday when
PoStmaster-Ge Burleson recon-
mended TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission that the maximum weight
limit for parcel post packages be increas-
ed to so pounds for all distances.
This step follows closely on the heels
OF the first enlargement of the parcel post
service made last August by Mr. Burleson
when for $50 mile airline distances and
less he raised the weight limit to 20
pounds and slaShed the rates from 10 TO
rs per cent. In Mr. Burleson's present
recommendation no reduced rates are pro-
posed.
Before the new weight limit can become
effective 1t must be approved by the In
ter-State Commerce Commission. This
provision in the parcel post act giving the
Postmaster-General power TO extend the
service with the consent of the Com
merce Commission was drawn by Repre-
sentative David !. Lewis, the House
father OF the bill. 1t is expected that
the commission will act affirmatively
upon Mr.. Burleson' recommendation
The parcel post rates for the first and
second zones will be slightly lower than
the new express rates, which become ef-
fective next February, for packages within
so pounds in weight The new rates are
much lower than the present express
rates.

Infectious Graft.

urging an adjournment of the House

We forget exactly what the amount of
mileage is. but it is many times the cost
of actual transportation. 1t is nothing
more than heavy graft whose respect
ability consists in the length of its
whiskers and its age. There is no rea-
son why mileage" as it now exists
should continue to be paid to the mem.
berS of the House and Senate,
There is something refreshing. never

sounds with all the suddessness ola baby

fact that it had slept bevond bottle time
Few of those who so calmly pouch the
mileage itself would have dared to vent
their lust for it so frankly.

For a Guest Book.

A book OF guests May it include
The wise, the witty, and the shrewd,
An such as own the double art
That makes them friends of head and
heart.
May those who stand recorded here
Grow dearer with each added wear;
Acquaintance INTO friendship grow,
And friendship ever brighter glow,
Old friends are best, we lightly say,
But, as they fall upon the way
Keep full the ranks with newer friends,
Till time the adjective amends.
And if old friends still seem the best.
The ad lge should be thus expressed;
Friends are not best because they're old,
But old because the years that rolled
The years that try and mar and mend
Have proved them worth the title friend

sidence and storage reservoirs a ca
pacity of some 15,0OO,OO0,OOO gallons.
The normal consumption of the 7,OO0,-
000 persons in the boards area Of
supply is rather more than 200,000,-
600 gallons a day, so that, were all
the reservoirs full, the usual daily al
lowance could be provided from them
alone for nearly II weeks. AS a rule,
at any time the board has in storage
sufficient water for full 40 days sup
ply, which would permit every man,
woman and child during that period
to be supplied daily with over 80 gal

Presidents Daughter Marries Mr..
Sayre.
Miss Jessie Wilson, the Presidents
second daughter, and Francis Bowes
Sayre were married at the White House
on Tuesday last 1t was scene of rare
brillancy touched through the ten mo-
ments of ceremony with a grave solem-
nifty as the President of the United States
stood beside his wife their faces in study
in deep emotion as they gave IN marriage
the first of their children. The attend
ance Of all the dignitares of the capital
was notable, especially the army and
navy the diplomatic corps who wore their
handsome uniforms.
The bridal gown worn at the White
House wedding was Of white satin, soft
weave, but of light and very lustrous
quality
Real point lace, orange blossoms and
embroidery added elegance and beauty.
The skirt was the modsh draped one,
the fulness showing most on the left
front
The neck was cut out little and the
embroidery, of an orange blossom de-
sign, outlined the opening and also ex-
tended down the side front of the bodice
and the skirt.
The sleeves were finished of with frills
of the point lace
The lace also appeared in the draped
waist, and where the folds were caught It
was with tiny clusters of orange bios
SONS.
The bridal flowers likewise held the
draped folds on the skirt. The train was
very long-long enough for regulation
court use-and was cut square at the
end
The tule bridal veil almost fell the
length OF the train. 1t was held to the
coilfure by cap of point lace, similar TO
the lace trimming the dress.
The Dutch Cap style of veil arrange
ment was exceedingly becoming to the
bride, whose fair hair, smoothly dressed
in coils close to her head, gave just the
right effect.
Orange blossoms sprayed the lace and
formed something of wreath around the
head
The brides going-away suit was girl
lsh costume of hunters green zibellne
with a waist in the same shade OF char
meuse.
The latter was ornamented with en-
broidery in green tones and Frightening
shade. Her hat was of green MORE and
stiff bows of velvet made the trimming.
