Kimbrel said he had been in the

Efforts today are being made to effect
settlement of the shortage, and if this
is done the prosecution will be dropped.
A Med Wilson spoke highly of the
young man, and said he was one of his
most trustworthy employees. He was
greatly surprised when he discovered
the shortage. Other former employers
of Kimbrell also gave him a good name.
IF I had only listened to the advice
of Mr.. Wilson I would not be in this

every chance and did all he could to
advance me and make something out of
me. l am heartily ashamed that
yielded to the tempter and treated him

POSTAL BANK OPEN
TO MAIL DEPOSITS
Letter From Missouri Farmer
Brings Order Permitting All
to Use System.

The postal savings system was
brought within the reach of everyone
today by an order issued by Postmas-
ter General Burleson covering the de-
posit and withdrawal of savings by
mai. The simplifcation ordered is
so considerable, 1t is stated, that
cumbersome red tape has been swept
aside and the postal savings made
practicable for persons in remote dis
tricts for the first time.
When postal savings banks were
nrst opened the department permit
ted no dercsit except in person at a
defisnated depository. Then the doors
Tor mail deposits were opened a little
and now 1t is announced they have
been thrown wide The disadvantage
OF the first situation is forcefuliy
pointed ont in the following excerpts
from \ letter to Mr.. Burleson from
Saline county, Mo-. farmer:
Having a few hundred dollars saved
from nifty years of hard and assiduous
part Of my wife and myself, we con-
cluded to deposit it in the postal saw
ings bank of Carthage, Mo. We wrote
the postmaster at that place and re-
ceiVed a reply to the. effect that none
put patrons of that office could deposit
IN that office. which Is very disappoint-
ing news to us Our little farm
is not large enough to support us and
land Is So high that II Is impossible
Tor US to buy more with what little we
have saved and we are SO old that we
can't labor much now and we would be
so glad to lay by at least enough to put
us away in decency.
Hoping that the peon,e will
demand a postal savings bSnk that will
compel the powers that be to open to all
the people the privilege of saving their
little mites. / know that it may be
but Government that
does not look after the welfare Of those
who do the work of the world falls
short of true democracy"

GEOLOGICAL PARK
WILL Be EXTENDED
Extra Ten Acres viii Be Added
to Grounds and Improve
ments Begun This Summer.

Geological Park. one Of the show
places of Washington, and second only
to the Bronx Zoo, in New York, the
largest and best equipped in the coun-
try. will be given a ten-acre extension,
increasing its area to 179 acres, when
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo COM
pietes arrangements for acquiring the
land by condemnation proceedings.
The last sundry civil appropriation bill
carried $4,000 for the purchase of all
that strip of land lying between Connee-
ucut avenue and the present west boun-
dary of the park and extending from
cathedral avenue to KIingle road. Su-
perfntendent Frank Baker is waiting
Tor the Secretary Of the Treasury to call
condemnation jury that a price may
be set on the land
II this is done without any great delay
and the appropriation is found suffi-
eient to give the, District title to the
land, improvement of this new section
Of the park may be begun this summer.
Inls extension and the completion Of
the bridge where the Adams Mill road
crosses Rock Creek. a work now well
under way, are the only Zoo Park i'm
pfo'ements planned for this summer.
Mistake To Change Name.
In discussing the replacing of the old
log bridge over Rock Creek with the
new concrete span, DIR, Frank Baker,
The superintendent, called attention
anew to the mistake he believes the
District Commissioners made when they
gave the name Adams Mills road to the
street extension skirting the park.
causing the old. road within the park
limits to lose its historical connection, il
not its identity.
The old Adams Mill road was the
road leading from the intersection Of
Eighteenth street and Columbia road to
the grist mill built about 1880 by John
Quincy Adams. This was the original
Adams Mill road, because 1t he'd to
Adams mill. the foundations Of which
were standing when Zoo Park was i'm
proved
DR.. Baker contends that the real
Adams Mill road, the old historic high
way travelled by the pioneers when they
brought their grist to the mill. is the
road winding through Zoo Park, and not
the highway skirting the outside Of the
park.
Ney Bridge No Proclamation.
The old road maintains its historic
interest, even though it is now being
connected where 1t crosses the creek
with a modern c,ncrete bridge. This is
not considered a proclamation. as the old
log bridge which 1t replaces was not a
part Of the road in the old Adams days,
but was built about ten years ago.
The new bridge is to be Ia feet long
by forty feet wide, with a five-foot side
walk on either side. 1t Is to be of re-
enforced concrete. with a span eighty
feet in length. The north abutment has
been completed. and the entire structure
viii be ready for travel by October 1.
Until such time the road will be closed
for traffic except to pedestrians The
bridge win cost 10000. and will mate
rally add to the beauty and utility of
the park.
