NEW SCHEDULE OF PAY
FOR RURAL CARRIERS
Based On Voucher Of Miles Travelled
and Average Weight OF
Mail Handled.

Rural carriers throughout Virginia
are affected by a new schedule OF
salaries which went into effect on Sum
day. Postmaster Hay T. Thornton. OF
the Richmond post-oflce. through,
which. all rural carriers are paid, was
advised yesterday of the new system
of payment. It Is expected that the,
larger number of carriers will beneft
by an increase In salary. although some
few will lose. Post office employees
have Just begun to figure out the exact
amounts due each carrier, and 1t will
be several days before they finish their
task.
The compensation Is to be based upon
the length of the routes. the time re-
CURED to serve them In accordance
with the authorized schedules and the
number or pieces and weight OF the
mail carried, ae shown by the records
OF the department. A carrier having
a route varying from four. to six miles
in length, should cover It in one and
one-half hours. and should handle 5000
pieces of mall, averaging 400 pounds
each month, for which he WILL be paid
$3.50 year. The scale Is graduated.
and carrier serving! a route twenty
four or more miles in length, will be
required to handle 10000 pieces of
mail. Weighing 1900 pounds. each
month, and should serve the route in
six and one-haif hours. His salary will
be $1,000 year.
An increase or decrease OF $1e year
will be made for each .1,000 pieces OF
mall, and for each 100 pounds. respec-
lively greater or less than the sched-
ule, with an allowance OF s12 a year
for each closed sack carried daily, and
for each mile OF route served In ex.
cess of twenty-five. No salary is to
be reduced lower thans the scale in
effect on June 80. and none is to ex-
coed $1,000 year.
The enormous growth Of the parcel
post business Is one OF the reasons
for the new order. Carriers who live
on routes served. extensively by the
new system will. therefore,, receive
greater compensation for their work.
The compensation will be based upon
the amount handled during the previous
year.
In arriving at the amounts due car
riers throughout the State, the local
force must compute the work done
last year. and then figure 1t out ac-
cording to the scales announced yes
terday.

WASTE AND LIVING COSTS

There are many causes for the
Ugh cost Of living in America, but
the greatest Of them is waste. II has
often been said that an English fam
lily. through economy in cooking, can
live on what an American family
throws away. A French family can
live on what an English family
throws away. A French housewife
can take a few beet tops, a pinch OF
spice and few rays Of sunshine and
can shake up salad that Is deli
cious and sufficient for a large fam
lily. Things that are thrown away
by American housewives are used
hv foreigners in the preparation OF
splendid dishes.
All this has been brought out
clearly by a recent report OF the
Chicago city waste commission,
which has gathered statistics con-
corning garbage from most OF the
important cities in the country. The
following table Of per capita collec-
ton Of garbage in one year in the
various cities shows that Chicago is
the least wasteful OF the cities OF
the country. while Washington is
positively reckless:

rHUNDERsToRMs

A student Of electricity offers in
the New York Sun this advice TO
persons who are afraid Of lightning:
III in a building which is isolat-
ed in the open country or is higher
than surrounding buildings in a
group. avoid chimneys or other
nues, open windows or draughts, es-
pecially warm currents OF air, di-
rectly below a high tower or flag
pole, peak or angle OF the structure.
Keep away from overhead wires en-
tering building although these
are generally protected by lightning
arresters. the current is not always
arrested
III in the open, avoid trees, wire
fences or poles, and il you happen
to be the most prominent object in
the landscape, as in an open field or
on beach, do not raise a steel rod
umbrella or in fact any umbrella, as
you may become a living lightning
rod without an approved ground
connection.
III you should happen to be
caught in such open space, with
lightning discharges coming very
close, as may be determined by the
lessening intervals between flash and
report. il is better 10 lie fiat on the
ground and risk a soaking than to
offer possible path for a dis
charge The reason for this is that
the body, being warm, offers a bet
ter conductor than the surrounding
air, and but few feet rise is neces-
sary to attract lightning on fiat
ground"
Having observed these simple
precautions, take this additional
piece Of advice, with our compli-
ments: Don't worry. The number of
deaths from lightning is very small.
Because they are usually dramatic,
they are wildly reported by eff
cient and ambitious news writers,
but there aren't many Of them. And
II il should be your rare destiny to
pass away on the wings OF an cleo
trlcal storm, why, you'll have this
consolation-you will escape the
long drawn agony OF bed OF pain.

WHY BABIES CRY

The little baby cries because II is
tired OF lying on one side, and is not
strong enough to turn over.
II cries because II is not sufll-
cIently warm.
The baby cries when its clothing
is too tight or crowded under il in
punches. Pins are many times the
cause Of the baby's crying. A safe
~ pin is not always comfortable.
The baby can lie on safety pin in
such a manner that ii will be pain
