P. 0. DEPARTMENT
HAS BIG PROFITS
Reports Held Up Because the Sur.
plus Appears to be Too
Large

The postoflice department is invol-
we'd tn difficulty unusual in govern
ment circles. The Quarterly report of
the auditor for the Postoffice Depart
ment is now more than six weeks over
due The report has been held up be-
cause the postoffice officials are at
a loss to exp'ain an Unprecedented
surplus. Shortly after the present
regime toe hold announcement was
was made that there would be a
deficit rather than a surplus in the
revenues Of the Post Office Depart
ment for the first few months of the
present year. The conditions was at
tributed to "the lax business meth
DDS under the previous administration
Later Postmaster General Burleson
was compelled to modify his observs-
items. 1t was admitted that there
might be a surplus approximating
100000 but this it was explained
IS accounted for by the enormous in
crease in the revenues due to the par
col post. Now it develops surplus Will
run closer to $10O0OOOO than $5O0OO0O
One cent letter postage is to be a
live issue IN the regular sssion of
Congress. Others include the taking
over the aelephone ad telegraph
systems by the govrnmnt to which
policy Postmaster General Burleson is
understood to be committed; mod.fi-
cation of the parcel post law and
changes in the existing laws and reg
ulations regarding the weighing of
mails The bill most discussed is that
of Senator Burton of Ohio. He has
long been advocating 1 cent letter
postage. His bill provides that tie
tlrst-class rate shall be cent per
ounce Bills providing for the same
rate have been introduced by Repre-
sentative Austin of Tennessee Rouse
of Kentucky Aiken of South Carolina
Bartlett of Georgia and Mcclellan Of
Tennessee.

RATHER FLiRT THAN VOTE

NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-The Miss.
es Marjory and Doris Allom arrived
yesterday ON the Lusitania from Eng
land, with their father. Sir Charles
Allom, and their mother ST., Char
les is well known as a sportsman in
England, and has owned many noted
racing yachts.
AS soon as the young ladies could
ge, their mother and father off the
pie" they hurried them to the Plaza
and then started to see Fifth av3nre.
Both declared that they much pre-
ferred flirting to the study Of suf-
frage, or, in fact, to anything else.
1--WE are among the poor misgpid-
ed few not interested in suffrage"
said Miss Marjory, smiling sweetly
on the ship news reporters who lean
ed against the rail for support.
"Flir,ing is really much better, we
think. and if girls would give more
time to the study of that it would be
easy for them to get the vote"

he had so nearly won. He thought OF
what the encouragement and the trip

Then the County superintendent
got busy. He stirred around among

announced that neither boy need be
disappointed; that money was now
available to send both boys on the

discovered BY Accident

The discovery of the art of water
proodsn was the result of an accident
1t was in 1890 that Thomas Fearnley
Wiley of Bedford England took out
the first patent for the process known
as 'cravenette" He got the idea from
an accident in a Yorkshire dye house
Certain goods have been wrongly dyed
and the workmen were directed ia
wash out the surplus logwood color
with alum After the goods had been
dried the improvement was so mark
ed that the dyer ordered a repetition
of the alum washing. Cloth was sent
to the washing machine but the work
men found that they could not wet
it. 1t passed through the water and
came out dry. Thus was the discovery
made that cloth could be waterproof
and yet remain porous.

RAILROAD FOR ALASKA.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29,-Another
Alaskan railroad to open the natur-
al resources Of the territory is pro-
posed in a bill Chairman Houston.
Of the Territories Committee, has
fayorably reported to the house The
road, to be built by the government
and either leased or government OPP
Grated would run from the South
ern coast at Cordova or Seward or
their vicinity, to the upper Yukon
river, and would not be more han
722 miles long
Chairman Houston, in hts report,
points out that such a road would
yitalize the great valley OF the Alas
kan interior, containing an immense
agricultural territory, and a line
from the coast to Fairbanks would
provide communication with the Ia
mana and Yukon rivers, having hun
dreds Of miles OF navigable water
which steamboats, already are ira
versing
The plan also contemplates two
short branch lines TO connect with
the Boring river and the Metanuska
coal fields,
