TO BARRE HOSPITAL
Ira G. Calef, Who Gave $4,000 to
Building Fund, Now Gives S1O.-
900 for Endowment.

BARRE, July IA. = When the neo-
pie of Barre and outlying districts met
the conditions of Ira C. Calef s offer
OF 100000 for a new hospital building
provided they raise $4,000 to add to
the building fund, Mr.. Calef made n
second offer of $4,000 for an endow
ment fund, to be paid when the build.
ing was ready for occupancy. 1t is ex,
pected that the new structure on Wash
lngton street will be ready to move in
to by Aug. l, and, anticipating the com
pletion of the hospital, Mr.. Oalef made
over to the hospital trustees YESTERDAY
his endowment of $4,000, the income
only to be used towards the mainte-
nance of the institution
With the Elizabeth Smith fund of
$1,000, which was left the hospital by
the late John E. Smith, the new insti
tuition starts off with total endow
ment of 81 1000 Work is being rushed

LARGER PARCELS IN MAILS.
Limit Increased to Bring Commercial
Crate Within Regulations.

WASHINGTON, July IA. = Orders
by the postmaster general were issued
yesterday, increasing the parcel post
size limit and providing for a receipt
for articles mailed by parcel post. The
first order became effective immedr-
ately. The second order will go into
effect on Sept l.
Section 454 of the postal laws and
regulations is so amended as to in
crease the size limit from seventy-two
to eighty-fou inches in length and
girth combined. This action follows a
demand for an increase in the size
limit. The principal effect is to bring
the commercial crate within the regu
lations. The straightforward limit
denies the advantages of parcel post
shipment to practically all the stand
ard-sized crates used in the commercial
exchange of berries and fruits.
The new regulations regarding re
eeipts. amends Section 1884, or the
postal laws and regulations. On pay
ment of one cent the postmaster at the
mailing office may give a receipt te

INCOME TAX RETURN GROWING.
Between 85 and 80 Millions Predicted
by Washington Estimates.

WASHINGTON, July IA. = Final
figures on the receipts from the per-
sonal and corporation income tax will
not be available until the middle of
August, but treasury officials were in
clined yesterday to believe that the
total would be between $S5, 100000
and $9O,000,000. The 10-days' grace
given by congress expired Monday,
but information regarding receipts in
that period will not be telegraphed to
Washington but will come in the us
ual order. 1t is now certain, however,
that the returns will be well above the
estimates

VILLA TO RETIRE.
Unconfirmed Report That lie Will
Hand Over Command to Robes.

Ell PASO, Texas, July IA. - Gen.
villa is about to turn the active com
mand of his army over to Gen. Jose
kobles in order that terms of peace in
Mexico may be agreed upon, according
to report received here yesterday
and credited by prominent Carranza
adherents. The report lacks confrma-
ton. Robes is said to have been the
intermediary in a plan for peace. The
present report is that Villa s officers
insisted on his retirement in favor of
Robics, believing that Robles would be
able to effect an agreement with Car
rama. Unofficial reports from the
south tend to confirm the reports of
Villa that he has forced Oregon into
a flight and that his own army is NOV
ing soutlward.

0lNEY MAY OUTLINE
PLAN TO GIVE CITY
CONTROL over SHOP

Vice President Olney of the United
Gas Electric corporation. which
owns the Richmond Light. Heat &
Power company, and probably another
official Of the big New York concern,
will attend a meeting of the public
service committee and directors of
the Richmond Commercial club Sat
urday night for the purpose of dis
cussing the plan advanced by the city
government for the purchase of the
electric plant of the Light, Heat and
Power company.
Some time ago the members of the
public service committee of the Com
mercial club, Of which George Seidel
is chairman, discussed the project
with Mayor Robbins, President Bavis
of the board of public works, and
Supt. kleinknecht of the municipal
plant. The committee at that time
decided not to submit report to the
club until it had an opportunity of dis
cussing the matter with representa-
tives of the Light. Heat & Power
company.
1t is quite probable that at the meet
ing Saturday night Mr.. Oney will an
nounce the Willingness of the United
Gas 4 Electric company to dispose of
its local electric plant to the city and
Will outline purchase plan which
would be agreeable to the company.

CARS STAND READY
FOR QUICK SERVICE

one Of the hardest tests to which a
motorcycle is put is in the United
States reclamation service, where the
machines must stand ready on a mo-
ments notice to make flying trips
over country and desert roads or along
the banks of newly constructed canals
But the seventeen machines now en-
ployed by the government in the Salt
River Irrigation Project in Arizona
have proven their ability to stand up
under this service. When an emer-
gency call comes in that a canal bank
has broken it is only ninstant until
one or more cyclists are on their way

SOCIAL PROBLEMS TO BE
BEFORE CHARITY WORKERS

BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE larg

Of the United States is that which
opened here this morning. For eight
days the big convention will take up
in succession the problems that are
today faced by charity and social
workers. More communities, organiza.
tons and private charity work is rep
resented this year than ever before,
and the speakers secured will cover
the phases of charity work far better,
it is expected, than ever before.
