.BURLESON FAVORS
ONE CENT POSTAGE
Probable Readjustment of
Rates Will Be Made in
Near Future.
fNational News Association

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Postmas-
ter General Albert S. Burleson, recent
ly appointed by President Wilson to
take charge of the Postal affairs of the
United States, is heartily in favor of
one-cent letter postage He has SO
announced himself to delegation rep
resenting the National One Cent Let
ter Postage association which waited
on him in Washington a few days
ago.
Il am heartily in favor of one cent
letter postage" declared Mr. BurIeson,
who went on to explain that he hoped
to bring it about just as soon as reve-
nues of the department could be ad-
justed.
The postmaster general told the ad.
vocates of one cent letter postage that
he had long believed that their conten.
tion is right. He stated, however. that
as the head of the department it was
his business to see that sufficient reve-
nue. was raised to meet all expenses,
and while he admitted that there was
big surplus received from first-class
mail each year, he added that it would
be necessary to make such an adjust.
ment of rates as would put the depart.
ment on a business basis.
Mr. Burleson favors adequate com.
pensation for postal employees, and
such a re-adjustment of rates as will
permit the operation of the department
in business-like manner
1t is the purpose of the present post
in ISf frs1t ttarl to cfoh fch nsxyi1
service rules throughout the depart
ment, applying eventually even to first
class postmasters.
Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio
and Representative Charles L. Bart
lett Of Georgia, have re-troduced one
cent letter postage bills in the senate
and house. These bills call for the
inauguration of one cent letter post
age by July 1 of this year
A strong advocate for the lower rate
has appeared in the person of Hon
orable James J. Britt, of Asheville, N
c. Mr.. Britt recently retired from the
position of third assistant postmaster
general. Upon being asked for his
opinion of one cent letter postage, he
expressed it in no uncertain tone.
81 am heartily in favor" declared
Mr.. Britt, "of the immediate reduction
of letter postage from two cents ar
ounce to one cent per ounce, for these
reasons: 1t will promote general in
telligence, and will improve the so
cial relations of the people; it will
advance the business interests of the
country, by lowering the cost of com
munication; the rate of once cent ar
ounce for letters, with the increase Of
mail matter which the reduction will
induce, will defray the cost of handling
and transportation.

To Straiahten a Warped Board.

The amateur craftsman is sometimes
in doubt how he can fiatten a board
that has warped. One way is 10 lay n
thick mass OF wet sawdust or a thickly
folded wet cloth on the concave side
and expose the convex side TO gentle
heat or very dry air. The moisture en-
tiers the fibers OF the wood OF the con-
cave side of the board and causes them
to swell. Heat, on the other hand. or
very dry air. removes the moisture
from the convex side and causes the
fibers to shrink. In consequence the
board gradually fiattens.-Youth's Com

Murrette.

WHIT CIV
Today and tomorrow the Murrette
will offer James ]. Hackett's great
success, THE Prisoner OF Zenda." Ro-
nance, blended with the thrill of dan
ger and doubt; loyalty, emphasized
by surrounding treachery and intrigue;
the impulse of daring and the ecstacy
of hazard; the tense struggle of souls
in combat; the battle between desire
and denial; reckless ambition and the
misery of its climax; the power of
good and the force of evil; the woe
and war of hearts; the triumph of
duty over vice, hate and even love;
and throughout all the conflict of emo
tions and events, the sympathetic in
fiuence of woman's tenderness; and
Fate-a woman's heart, and it's hun
ger-these combine the thrilling theme
of THE Prisoner of Zenda," the tale
of man who was king, and king
who was a man.
What the critics say of the artistic
triumph that will immortalize James
K. Hackett's famous characterization:
Biggest of all hits in the history OF
the film play-New York Journal
Real achieement-a piece of artis.

VENETIAN LACEMAKERS.
The Methods by Which Their Famous
Fabrics Are Produced.

The Methods by Which Their Famous
Fabrics Are Produced.
The lace of Venice has been cele-
brated for many centuries. 1t was
made originally by nuns within the
walls of converts for ecclesiastical
garments. Then, with the fall of the
Venetian republic. the converts were
closed and the lace industry ceased to
exist for an entire century. In 1870 the
Princess Margherita, afterward queen
of Italy, took measures to revive it.
especially as means Of providing en-
ployment for Venetian women. At
present there are several schools sub
sidized by the government in which the
art is taught
The pupils are women of all ages
Each sits on a low stool and holds a
plump square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion is pinned a strip Of paper
marked with the pattern to be follow
ed, and into this pattern the nimble
fingered worker sticks glass headed
pins, about which she twists her
threads.
From twenty to fifty shuttles depend
from all sides of the cushion and these
are thrown across and back with the
rapidity of a typist handling the keys
OF her machine.
The process is so simple that it looks
like play. but the lace produced repre-
sents thousands of dollars. The simple
laces grow rapidly under the dexterous
fingers Of the women. but the exquisite
rose point and other similar sorts are
evolved much more slowiy.-Harper's

"The Wolf"

The Francis Sayles players next
week will offer Eugene Walters great
play of the Canadian woods THE
Wolf" One of the most striking fea-
lures of tho play is said to be the finale
of the last act, which is played on a
hind dense clouds. The fight between
the two star characters is not seen by
the audience, but the exchange of de-
fiance, the pistol shot and the scuffle,
with the sound of falling body at last
are heard, and until the winner of
the combat reveals his face by the
glare of a match with which he is
calmly lighting q cigarette, the audi
ence is in doubt as to the outcome.

FRIENDS ONIONS ARE BETTER
Why the Lady Decided Not to Com

Cooking.

A couple occupying an uptown
apartment were for a long time
greatly distressed by the daily habit
of their very near neighbors of cook
ing onions. At the suggestion of
the husband the better half of the
suffering pair decided to see the
agent of the house about it, with a
hint that the couple would move I'M
less the nuisance were abated.
A week went by. Said hubby one
evening; "Mary, didn't you say that
you were going to see the agent
about those onion people,"

Whereupon hubby gave u~tterance
to a peculiar sound that his wife was
able to interpret.
81 knew that you'd take it that
way" added the wife. "But even
you, Henry, must admit that there's
a great difference between the smell
of a friends onions and those of
people we don't know"

WHEN AN EGYPTIAN MARRlES
Quaint Ceremonies Still Survive In
the Rural Districts Of the
Land Of Pharaoh.

However modcTnized Cairo is, or
will become, rural Egypt remains
the same today as it he's been for
countless generations. One of the
quaintest sights out in the country
is a native wedding. I was for4u-
nate in seeing two of them, one from
a train and the other while walking
near the village Of Heliopolis, which
is the site Of the ancient city of On,
mentioned in the Bible. The bride
and bridegroom were completely
screened from the public gaze by a
canopied arrangement on the back
of a camel. 1t looked like an i'm
mense ottoman, adorned with a COW
er illuminated by gorgeous patterns.
The erratic and alarming way it
bobbed up and down, this way and
that, must have greatly enhanced the
pleasure of the happy couple inside.
This camel was followed by the bri-
dial party-all women-seated on a
long train Of camels, each camel sup
porting two women. The great,
clumsy creatures 1.-THE camels, not
the women!) were almost enveloped
in immense rugs, on the top of
which, apparently, a feather bed had
been deposited, and on this the ladies
squatted, giving vent every few mo-
ments to a prolonged shrill trill,
which I gathered was intended for
a festive song. Altogether, the in
congruity of the spectacle was ex-
ceedingly comical.-A. W. Cutler,
in the Wide World Magazine.

cards were miniature newspapers dol c
up in packages After the guests
we're seated Miss Creighton suggested
that they first read the news" which
proved, to their surprise to be the an.
nouncement Of the engagement OF
Miss Mary Dean to Mr.. Robert B uce
McEachin. The article had been
%cIeverly and uniquely written by the
accomplished hostess whose reputa-
ton as a oh rming and novel enter
tainer is UNSURPASSED. During III,
six luncheon many witty toast,
were given the winsome br'de-eIecr,
who was lovely in a pretty and elab
crate lace frock, With black picture
hat. The guests found at the end oil
their ribbons, imitation engagement
rings, with the excep ion Of the hon
Gree, who drew her real engagement
ring.
The announcement is of unusual
interest on account Of the popularity
of both the young people, not only in
their home town, bit througout the
state. The luncheon is the first Of a
number of pretty affairs which have
been planned for Miss Dean belo.e
her %weddieg. Sept. 23rd.
