MAP LOCATES OYSTER BEDS
Through the cooperation of the gov
bureau Of chemistry of the
department Of agriculture with the
public health and marine hospital serv-
ice and the bureau of fisheries a COM
plete survey of the oyster beds of the
United States Is being made. The first
years work was completed last spring,
and the three services are making
plans for their campaign during the
coming winter. An oyster map will
show the location of every bad oyster
bed in this country, but it will not be
printed for general distribution. 1t will
enable the agents Of the bureau of
fisheries to keep watch upon interstate
shipments of oysters made from these
polluted beds.
Shipments to points within the state
where they originate will not be In
spected. but If 1t becomes known that
oysters from a bad locality, IL Ches-
apeake bay. for instance, are being
shipped to a point in New York or else
where, samples of them will be tested
and subjected to an analytic test. II
the disease germs are found the ship
pers and packers will be prosecuted
under the pure food and drugs act.
The psychologists this winter will
devote their attention to beds along
the Atlantic coast. Chesapeake bay, to
which their last winters work was
confined, will be resurveyed in sus-
picious localities found last year. The
bureau Of fisheries vessel Fish Hawk
will carry four chemists Oh the inspec-
ton tour. Every oyster bed Of commer-
cial value is known. and the Fish
Hawk will anchor v e each one while
the experts make their observations.

LOWER POSTAGE TREATIES
As a further stimulus to commerce
1t is proposed by several leaders In
congress that steps be taken to OBJ
tain a 2 zen postage rate to coun-
tries of South America that will con-
sent to an arrangement of this char
acter. 1t requires at present a 5 cent
stamp to carry a letter to South Amer
lea, and the argument is made that 1t
would foster closer commercial rela-
tionship If that part of the world could
be placed on the same basis with re-
spect to mail charges as England, Ger
many, Canada, Mexico and Panama.
Representative James 7. Lloyd of
Missouri, for several years a member
Of the house postofiice committee, said
today that there was Il general senti-
ment among members of the house and
senate in favor of reduced postage to
South America.
A change would involve n series of
postal treaties to be negotiated be-
tween the United States and the coun-
tries which are willing to enter into
the new arrangement. Each treaty
be made in behalf of the United
States by the postmaster general, act
Ing under the advice Of the president.
The existing postal arrangements
With the South American nations are
nnder the regulations Of the Universal
Postal union. \ joint resolution. the
,doption Of which would Indicate the
sentiment OF congress on the question
the lower rate. IS contemplated by
ONE OF the leaders.
