MAIL BY MOTOR
TO BETTER ROADS
South Looks For Improve
ments in Highways to
Follow New Service
TO BE TRIED IN FIVE
STATES NEXT MONTH

ATLANTA, Ca. July 2O.-Dixie is
looking forward with great interest
now TO the proposition OF the United
States Postoffice Department to inau
gurate an August ], an automobile SER
vice on rural free delivery routes in
the South. While this will be in the
nature of an experiment here, 1t is an
.ucipated that automobile mail delivery
in the rural districts will become a
permanent institution. The improve
ment in roads already made and the
improvements that would result from
the establishment of an automobile
rural free delivery are leading to the
belief that this service will be per-
manent
In the South so much emphasis is
being laid upon the success OF the pro-
posed automobile rural route delivery
service that many leaders are calling
II the passing OF the "Back-to-the-
farm" movement to a new movement,
which is being labeled the Forward
to-the- farm" movement. The auto mo-
bile rural free delivery is regarded as
the starting point Of the revolutiCniz-
ing Of the rural free delivery system
as vel. as good roads construction,
the latter OF which in tho last year
has gained tremendous headway al
ready.
II will mean that the farmer 10 and
20 miles frcm the town and city post
Office will get his mail about rs
quickly as the mon in the metropolis.
A further result will be that II Far
mer Jones, 25 miles out of town. on a
we'll paved and well-maintained road,
gets his mail at or 9 o'clock, Far
mer Smith. on the sandy and muddy
road, who has to wait until afternoon
for his mail. is going 10 better him
self. Farmer Smith will fuss with
the county authorities for an i'm
provement Of his road so that he also
can enjoy an automobile mail service,
and he will fuss until he gets t.
Southern rural leaders think II is
not too much to prophesy the day Of
twice-s-day parcel post delivery.
which will allow the farmer TO sell
his butter and eggs daily on the di-
rect-from-producer-to-consumer plan.

LONDON. Aug. 21.-Ths United

The Arabic disaster had an imme-
liale effect on steamship bookings.
Many who had planned to sail on
other vesscls shifted to tho America II
line or the Holland America line. The
recent inactivity Of the Germans in
the submarine zone had Increased the
belle" that tho American attitude to-
ward this campaign had caused a rs-
vision OF tho German plans. and tray-
elers had been encouraged to take

GOVERNORS TO TALK I
OF NATIONS DEFENSE
Battle Cry Of Peace to Be Rails.
ed in Boston at Confer.
ence.

BOSTON. Aug. 21.-"The battle cry OF
peace" Is to be raised in Boston next
week. The governors Of the forty-eight
States are to discuss plans for i'm
proving the nations defenses. In the
same harbor whore the historic tea
party was held the North Atlantic
feet Of the United States navy will
ride at anchor until Friday, when IL
will be reviewed by the governors. From
Tuesday until Friday the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery will lend dignity
and formality to the meeting of the
governors.
The Relation Of the State to the Ma
tional Defense is only one of several
subjects to come before the governors
conference.
Miles &. Riley. secretary Of the gov
ernor's conference, said today:
1T Is of vast significance to the
country at large that the governors OF
the various States have met annually
during the last eight years to exchange
experiences and to take counsel on
those things in which the country as a
whole is vitality concerned yet which
cannot be accomplished through acts
OF Congress, but must be handled by
forty-eight States separately and indi-
v.dually.
"As a concrete advance to be credit
ed to the governors conference may be
noted the abolition of the Reno divorce
colony as direct result of the agita-
ton in and advocacy of the governors
conference for uniform marriage and
divorce laws.
The right of the States to regulate
freight and passenger rates was finally
determined by the Supreme Court OF
the United States reversing the de-
cision of the Federal trial court, In the
Minnesota rate cases) upon the argu-
ment of committee OF the governors
conference. the committee consisting of
Governors Judson Harmon of Ohio.
Herbert S. Hadley Of Missouri, and
Chester H. Aldrich OF Nebraska. In
this case the states concentrated their
defense, through the governors con
ference. against the final concentrated
attack by the railroads upon the right
Of the States to regulate rates within
their borders. And the States won.
First steps have been taken toward
establishing uniformity In safety and
sanitation laws for places of employ
ment. and in workmen's compensation
acts.

That the activities Of the two Secre-

private concerns to enter the submarin
field. Private concerns are being en-
couraged to take UP the problem of de-
veloping a new type of motor for aero

FOR CONSIDERATION
|0F UTILITIES VALUE
Commissioner viii Be Here on
Monday to Discuss Question
at Meeting.

Prior to beginning consideration OF
the rate question. valuation work on
the public utilities will be discussed
Monday at a conference between the
Public Utilities Commission, DR.. e. w.
Dennis. director Of the valuation bureau,
and Charles L. Pillsbury, his assistant.
Commissioner Newman will make q
special trip from Haines' Falls. N. T..
where he is spending his vacation. in
order to be present
The valuations of the street railways
are practically completed and the COM
mission Is now at work on the valua-
tions of the properties Of the Potomac
Electric Power Company. the Washing

town Gas Light Company and the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company.
1t Is expected the work will be COM
pleted early in November. after which
public hearings on the valuations will
be held. as required by law.
In determining valuations the COM
mission is ascertaining first, the ac-
tual cost OF the utilities as shown by
its books; second. the cost Of repro
duction. and third. the cost of repro
duction less depreciation. The deter
mination OF actual costs is q matter
of expert accounting. and involves a
detailed examination and analysis Of
books. records, and documents Of the
companies.
The determination OF cost of re-
production and accrued depreciation
are principally matters OF engineer
Ing and economics involving detailed
inventories. consideration Of physical,
Typographical. and economical condi-
tions. methods Of construction. prices
Of commodities and labor obtaining
at the time Of the actual construction
OF the properties and such as would
logically obtain in the case of a hypo-
thetical reproduction thereof
Preliminary work was begun May /.
1914. and the actual detail work was
begun a month later. Congress an.
propriated 100000 for the Valuation
work and included in the current Dis-
trlct appropriation bill an additional
appropriation of $4,000.
