COPPER TRADE grows
At REMARKABLE Rate
Huge Orders Placed by Allies Will Be
Filled in Coming Year.
Special to III, washinrton Herald

Special to The Washington Herald
New York, Nov. n.-Negotiations at
tending the new inquiry of France in this
market for copper metal call attention t.
the remarkable expansion Of the copper
trade this year. Aside from the domestic
demand for the red metal, which has
been enormous, contracts from abroad
lave been record-breakins. In April last
GUeat Britain. for herself and on behalf
OF her allies, bought a record tonnage
here OF 4ooO0O,o0o pounds, which, at the
time. seemed to threaten an exhaustion
OF the supply on this ide of the Atlantic
But since then great strides forward
have been made in production with the
result that the market. while practically
stripped OF spot supply. can see its way
clear to fill next year an additional order
from the allies of AS, o0O, 900 pounds, placed
ir September last. and to consider an in
quiry from France for 10000 tons addi-
tional.
The 2c-point gain in Gulf States Steel
Friday increased rather than reduced the
bullish sentiment on the stock. The
amount Is so small that under an active
apeculative coterie II could be advanced
to much higher prices. All IL seems to
Le doing Is to reflect naturally the in
crease in earnings and the very remark
able outlook after January !. Having
crossed United States Steel common, Gulf
states Is now the highest priced stock of
its class, next to Bethlehem Steel.

HOUSE D. c. Committee
Wisconsin Representative. Ranking Re-
publican on Body. Reelected.

Particular interest for District residents
Is attached to the announcement from
Milwaukee that Representative William
J. Cary, of the Fourth Wisconsin dis
trict. has been reelected by a majority
of LIN.

Republican member of the House District
Committee and with a Republican ma
jority in the Sixty-fifth Congress, which
Is the present outlook, he VIII be chair
man Of the next District Committee.
In his service on the District Commit
tee, Representative Cary has been much
more liberal in his attitude on District
legislation than Representative Ben john
son, Of Kentucky, the present chairman.
He was a pioneer advocate of policemen's
and firemen's pension legislation, and
favored a broader pension act than that
passed at the last session. He is also
on record as favoring an adequate teach
ers' retirement fund.
The change In control will bring a
change In the chairmanship of the other
committees. Ranking Republican mem
bers on these committees who would be
logical leaders for these places are:
Agriculture. Representative Haugen; ap-
proprfations, Representative Gillett;
Banking and Currency, Representative
Hayes, Of California: Education, Caleb
Powers, Of Kentucky; Foreign Affairs,
Representative Cooper, Of Wisconsin;

CAMPAIGN TO ABOLISH
ELECTORAL COLLEGE

In many parts Of the country sentiment
is making itself felt for a Federal amend
ment abolishing the electoral college and
establishing the direct popular election
OF the President and Vice-President, just
as was done in the case OF Senators a
few years ago.
Due to the electoral college system. il
Is entirely possible for a candidate with
a minority popular vote to gain a ma
jority of the electors and be elected.
The electoral college has long been the
butt Of cartoonists and paragraphers. No
legal restraint is placed upon them to
vote e1oept a. their Judgment dictates
They simply have q moral restraint to
choose the men their constituents expect
them to vote for.

Washington, May 12.-Bids were op
ened today by Postmaster General
Burleson to decide If the United
States shall begin maiI-by-aeroplane
service on seevn routes in Alaska and
one in Massachusetts,.
If the aeros win over the present
methods Of transportating mail, they
must show superior economy in opera
tion as well as better speed.
Advance tips to the post office de-
partment are that several manufac,
turers are backing prospective con.
tractors for the routes with the prom
Use of low-priced machines, presum-
ably due to publicity which the stunt
would give their planes.
In Alaska, some of the routes for
which cnange to the airline is pro-
posed have been carried over vari-
GUS RELAYS by dog-teams, river scows,
ana horseback. The beat OF the mail
carriers led over mountains and swift
flowing, i,y rivers.
The airship route woud cut straight
from starting point to destination, "as
the crow flies" regardless of noun
tain ranges.
Rear Admiral Peary is among those
in seeing the air lines es-
tablished as a scientific accomplish
ment.
In the last five years the post Of
flee department has encouraged a
number Of aeroplane mailcarrying
stunts, ard is disposed, if possible to
make them a regulation part of the

STATE SUPT. WILSON
URGED NOT TO RESIGN

The past week was a distinguished
one in the educational affairs of Ok
lahoma. The high school culture and
athletic meet at Norman was the most
successful ever held in the state. More
schools entered and the attendance
reached the high water mark.
The city superintendents held an
interesting session at Norman on Fri
day. Plans for the normal training
high schools were perfected and by
unanimous vote the report of the com
mittee which recommended uniform
system of records and reports was
adopted with an amendment providing
for the committee to revise the forms
so as to provide a card index system
for those who prefer as well as per-
manent or ledger system.
OF especial Importance was the
meeting of the county superintend-
ents association which was in session
two days, The session Thursday was
held in Oklahoma City and was for
lowed by the most successful banquet
in the life of the organization. Friday
the session was held at Norman and in
the afternoon joint session of the
county superintendents and the city
superintendents was held as a result
of which the city superintendents
agreed to accept in their high schools
students from tGe small approved
high schools and to give such students
credit for all work which had been,
done in such small high schools.
Resolutions passed by the county
superintendents by unanimous vote re-
quested Supt. r. H. wilson not to re-
sign, as they felt that the school in
terests of the entire state would be
benefited more by his remaining in
his present position than by accepting
