POSTOFFICES TO
Be TWO FLOORS
High Cost of Ground Forces
Government to Economic
on Space.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-If the
proposed upstairs p~ostofice for Chi
cago proves a success. Philadelphia,
Boston. Pittsburgh and Richmond and
certain other towns now in need of
better facilities will be i'm line for sim =
liar establishments II was declared to-
day by IN official of the national post
office department. The need of econ
Omizing due to the high cost Of
ground is given as the reason for the
proposed innovation.
P%ostofice and treasury officials say
that the postal business is increasing
at such a rapid rate in some cities
that lot after lot would have to be
purchased for the accommodation of
the mails if the principle be adhered
to that ground floor space is an abso-
lutte necessity in the handling Of it.
Declaring that the big cities are
awful elephants on the hands of
the building authorities a writer on
the subject says:
Take Chicago. 1t is discovered
that about 60 per cent Of the parcel
post tonnage Of the whole country
originates there and il is growing at
an appalling rate because of the eX-
pansion of the mail order traffic. Con-
gress thought it was doing the clever
thing by Chicago but it found that
the $1,750, 600 it appropriated will in
fact cover about 20 or % per cent of
the cost of buying an adequate site
for an all ground floor pOstOfiCe. 1t
is considered as good as impossible TO
get congress to give five or six millions
more for a site and something must be
lone about it,"
Started Upstairs Idea.
Byron NewstOn, assistant secretary
Of the treasury in charge of public
buildings is given credit for the up
stairs" idea. He learned that il never
a been done but that if il were done
1T would reduce the amount of realty
that could be unloaded on the govern
ment. He talaked with the postoffice
officials as a result Of which a COM
mittee was appointed to investigate
and report as TO the feasibility Of the
plan to operate a secOnd-stOry pOstof-
fee. The committee saw efficiency
engineers. health and sanitation ex-
perts and oilers and when they came
back they were converted to the idea
of a pOstoffice in layers with less real
estate to buy and more air and light
for the people who must do the work
inside. The reports seems to have
satisfied the superiors of the two de-
partments and in view of the fact that
there must be come experimenting in
the large cities it is regarded as GER
tain that the disposition will be to
try the new idea.

LARGER AMOUNT
Of CREOSOTE IS
NOW MADE HERE
War Has Compelled American
Manufacturers to Supply
Their Material for Pre-
serving of Woods.

WASHINGTON. July 10. - once
more have American manufacturers
been forced 10 turn TO their own re-
sources because Of the European war
the self reliance OF the Americans
being shown in this instance by the
ability TO nil the gaps made by a
shortage in the European ~creosote
supply.
Creosote largely used as a wood
preservative has heretofore been ship
ped to this country in large quantities
from England and Germany. a re-
strictiOn in shipments began with the
outbreak Of the war IND the United
States forest service which has been
investigating the matter of the creO-
sOte supply estimates that the ship
ments from abroad have fallen off 80
per cent.
The case Of creosOte furnishes sim
ply another example of the ingenuity
of American manufacturers in making
the best Of a bad %situatiOn and il is
estimated by the forest service that
the domestic production OF the article
has increased fully % per cent since
10 became difficult to get the usual
supplies from England and Germany.
In an interesting bulletin telling
how the manufacturers Of the country
have met the emergency the forest
service which has an interest in all
things pertaining TO wood and its pre-
%servation. says:
owing To a falling off since Aug. 1
OF nearly 80 per cent in shipments of
creOsote from England and Germany
whence comes all but a small part of
the imported oil used by wood pre-
serving plants in this country, Amer
lean manufacturers have taken steps
which il is estimated will increase the
production Of the domestic article by
% per cent. The imported oil Ordi-
Harily forms about So per cent of the
total used in the United States where
creosote is the most important wood
preseTvative.
THE statistics gathered show that
wood preserving is one of the most
rapidly advancing industries I'm this
country. In 1895 there were Is plants
in the United States; in 1914 there
were 122 plants of all kinds. 100 be-
ing of the pressure cylinder type.
N~inety-fOur Of these plants last year
used more than Z 200. 900 gallons of
creosote oil, more THAI $1,000, 900
pounds of zinc chloride and nearly
two and a half million gallons of
other p~reservative. such as coal tar
and crude oil treating a total of about
100. 1000. 900 cubic feet of timber.
The most important consumers
are the large plants in which railroad
ties are treated. The preservative ma
t~erially 1engthens the period of service
of the ties, lessons the labor cost
incident TO renewal and decreases the
drain upon n forests due to tie
cutting.
II some extent the treatment of
fence posts and other forms of farm
timber is being taken up but as yet
the uSQ Of WeDd p~rpSQTyatiVpS nv the
farmers is on too small a scale to have
any importance i'm the total while the
practice Of treating telephone poles
is in its incipiency in this country"

In the role of Clarissa, Hazel Dawn
presnts a character both enchanting

note OF sentiment Vying constantly

neither phase of the story triumphs
completely. because the greatest sue
