PROPOSED CHANGES in the r. F. D
SYSTEM.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1914. The an
nouncement that Postmaster General
Burleson favors a change in the rural
delivery system whereby carriers will
have to bid for the work and obtain it by
bidding lower than any one else, is caus-
ing great apprehension among rural car
riers all over the country. This is the
old star-route system revived Under
to take on as many contracts as he cou'd
handle, and every rural carrier would
become the employe of the contractor,
instead of Uncle Sam as he is now. In
time, the contractor could become big
corporation which would fix the compen-
sation of the men who do the work at
$500 to $500 year, instead of 81, 900 to
$1,000 which the Government now pays
them direct, and the contractor would
get rich on the work of the carriers. The
contractor would come to own the horses,
wagons, or automobiles and the carrier
would become mere driver.
Postmaster General Burleson is also
doing his best to transfer the parcei post
into a freight post. Mail-order houses
under such rule would soon be delivering
bundle of shingles by mail. The weight
of the parcel has already been raised to
so pounds for certain zones, and Mr..
Rurleson now wants to raise the limit to
100 pounds.
The thre atened change to 100 pounds,
postal experts say, would certainly not
be a move to bring the farmers nearer
their market, but one TO build up the big
cities at the expense of the country dis
tricts.

FOR SALE BY YOUR GROCER
MRS. CHARLES DANA GIBSON.
One of the five be, utiful Lanshorne
Sisters

One of the five be, utiful Langhorne
Down in Aberma rle County, Va,
there were FIVE beautiful girls, all sisters.
Although Virginia is far from London and
New York and Newport and Lenox and
other places where society gathers, it
was not so far but what the beauty of
these girls was found out, and Wooe RS
came in plenty.
One OF these wooers was an artist. His
pen and ink pictures are now known the
world over. At the time he went a-Woo-
ing one OF these five beautiful sisters he
had no fame as an artist. He was simply
good looking, clean cut young man,
quite desirable as husband, but simply
a ''young artist He married this girl
and then he commenced to pattern his
sketches to her likeness as nearly as pos
STOLE with pen and ink.
The result Was the Gibson Girl. -
| Charles Dana Gibson was the artist and
Mrs. Gibson was Irene Langhorne, one
OF the celebrated Langhor, sisters.
| They were married November Z, 1895,
| Probably there Las never been at least
| history does not record it-fve more
beautiful sisters, and it is little wonder
that Mr.. Gibson achieved great success
with such beautiful wife for inspira ton.
There have been hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of claimants to the title OF
Original Gibson GIRL but, to those
who know, all these claims have been
decidedly amusing. The type should
really have been 1.-The Langhorne girl''
rather than 1.-The Gibson Grip because
without Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson and
her other beautiful sisters, there would
have been no such type of girl in art.
One is tempted to say that the story
of the marriages of the beautiful Lang
horne girls "reads like felton," but on
second thought it does not, because no
author would have the temerity to make
so many successful marriages in one
family. The girls father. Colonel CHS
well D. Langhorne, is typical Southern
country gentleman. He has the most
distinguished group of sons-in law OF any
man in America. The eldest sister,
Phyllis, married T. Moncure Perkins of
Richmond, Va, member of one of the
oldest families of the South. Fannie
Langhorne married Reginald Brooks, a
we'll known Long Island and N NV York
society man. Mamie married Waldorf
ASICI, SUI VI w lilldLl w diooll aoeoi +,
who took up his home in England, while
Mrs. Gibson's fourth and youngest sister,
Nora, married Paul Phipps, young
English architect.
Mrs. Gibson has son and a daughter.
She is frequently at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Astor, in England, ard has
been presented at court. Her city home
is No. 127 East Seventy third Stree,
New York. 1t was here, in 1909, that
the remarkably beautiful Langhorne
sisters gathered for the wedding of Nora
the 'baby" of the family, to Mr.. Phipps.
Mrs Gibson has lived much abroad and,
with her children, was with her husband
during the three years he was studying
oils in France and Spain. Wherever pen
and ink Gibson drawing is seen today de-
picting beautiful women, one is sure to
see in this drawing likeness to Mrs.
Gibson in the most beautiful and state
lest of the figures.

What The SCup-kace Yachts Cost
Their Owners.

Stripped of their spars and rigging,
with their sails slowed away and their
decks boxed up for the winter, the three
cup defenders and the challenger "Sham-
rock w" lie at different shipyards in the
United States and serve as pathetic re-
minders of the great Americas Cup"
contest that was to have been held in
September of this year. While the ex-
act amount of money involved is not
known, the three racing yachts, with the
money spent in elimination races. in
preparations for the final race. and in
the numerous changes in rigging and
equipment, are thought to represent an
investment of at least 81, 500, 600. The
contest has been officially postponed to
1915, but if the war should last two or
three years, the money invested is as
good as thrown away, as in that event
the deterioration of these yachts would
be such that is not likely any of them
would be in condition to use in the cup
race. November Popular Mechanics
