RAJ STON MUST FILL
TH|RTY-TWO PLACES
George Seidel, of This City,
Has Good Chance of
Appointment.
GOVERNOR NOW BUSY
Fire Marshal, Gettysburg
Commission, and Others
Appointed.
palladium Snacia1l

INDIANAPOLIS, April 3.-George
Seidel, prominent manufacturer OF
Richmond, has one of the best chances
of being appointed on the new public
utilities commission of any other
possibility" Letters requesting the
governor to appoint Mr.. Seidel have
been received from various sections o.
the state.
At the present the governor must fill
thirty-two state positions, recently
created by the General Assembly
The Legislature really gave the gov
ernor authority to make forty ap-
pointments, but eight of these were
filled with the appointment of a fire
marshal, members of the Gettysburg
Battle Commission and members Of
the Panama-Pacific Exposition Com
mission.
Some of the jobs the governor has
to offer provide expenses as the only
compensation; others provide only
small pay, and few, including mem
bership on the new Public Utilities
Commission, have attractive salaries
as well as honors tackled on to them.
Has Made Decision.
The governor has said that he has
decided upon the personnel of the
Public Utilities Commission, but it is
probable some time will elapse be-
fore he announces the appointments.
One of the persons to be appointed
by the governor will be woman.
She will be one of the five members
of commission to investigate hours
and conditions of labor of women
Commissions in blank form have been
prepared so that it will be an easy
task to insert the names whenever
the governor is ready to make ap-
pointments. The list of new positions
yet to be filled by the governor fol-

So common is the use Of coffee as a

RED TO BECOME GREEN
ON POSTAL VEHICLES
Postmaster General Orders that Mail
Wagons on Rural Routes and in
Cities Shall Have Same Color.
DURABILITY IS DEMONSTRATED

Following out his scheme to standard
ize the postal service and place 1t upon
the most durable basis, Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson has just ordered that here
after all vehicles in the postal service,
excepting those in the screen wagon serv-
ice which are under contract shall be
painted as follows:
Body a medium coach green, running
gear a cardinal red, and black stripping.
This revokes former Postmaster General
Hitchcock's order of last February, which
adopted vermiIlion red as the standard
color. Seacoast cities and Rocky Noun
tain sections complained that wagons in
the postal service painted a vermillion
red did not hold their color.
The Bureau of Chemistry states that
this color of red is one of the least dura-
BILE, while it is the opinion of experts that
a medium coach green is one Of the most
lasting of colors, the least expensive. and
not so easily affected by dirt, which
makes green especially suitable for
wagons on rural routes where at certain
periods of the year dust and mud are
plentiful.
Green paint has been used on letter
boxes for several years, and the new
parcel post automobiles recently pur-
chased are painted in this color The
Postmaster General believes that the use
of a standard color Of paint and design,
with a view to durability, will greatly i'm
prove the appearance of all equipment of
this kind.
Vehicles on rural routes and in cities
for delivery of parcels will be the only
ones affected by the new order.
