 Don't wrap your letters on a rainy day. The carriers hands never get dirty and the weather is always ideal.
 Don't call for your mail at the office until the carrier has 1t rout- ed and is ready to start. 1t IS a pleasure to tear into 1t, then sort it all over.
 Don't forget to ask the carrier to purchase and carry out packages for you without stamps. You don't care if he dos lose his job.
 Don't ask the carrier anything about the parcel post if you have a package to send, but just stick a few ordinary stamps on 1t, then give the carrier hail columbia the next day because he didn't take 1t. Any sort of stamps will do from return to postage-due stamps. Don't keep silent when the car rier has to wait an hour for the mail. Ask him if he hasn't been asleep, or what kind he's been drinking or tell him you thought 1t was a holiday and he was laying off.
 Don't fix your mail box or move that box or old chair that the children have put there to get the mail. The carrier likes to get out on a cold or rainy day to deliver the mail.
 Don't fail to knock when the carrier makes mistake, because 1t wasn't a mistake, he did 1t on purpose. K. F. D. men are infali. l ble.

Bill to Put Intrastate Rates
Under Interstate Body.

Washington. June l1.-Extension Of the
jurisdiction OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission over intrasta,e rates on in
terstate railroads in accordance with the
Minnesota rate decisions will be pro-
posed in a bill being prepared by Repre-
sentative Willis. Of Ohio, a Republican
memLer of the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee The basic
principle Of this measure will be the
right Of Congress TO control absolutely
tho instrumentalities Of interstate ,om-
merce. even 10 the extent OF regulating
the rates IN each state Such is Repre-
sentative Williss Interpretation Of what
the Supreme Court held I'm the Mime
sofa rate cases 70 be within the power Of
Congress.
The bill may be patterned after the
federal safety appliance acts. Since the
decision IN the Minnesota rate cases
these laws have been pointed TO as in
stances where Congress has seen NJ to
exercise its jurisdiction in state matters
because these matters concern the in
strumentalities Of interstate commerce.
In a safety appliance decision about a
year ago the Supreme Court held the
laws applied % cars on an interstate
road. although the cars were carrying
commerce originating and ending within
the state Of Alabama.
