cling its efficacy and economical ad-

Postofricc annually pays out more on

the balance Of money-order business,
which Is largely mail-order business,
Is In favor of washington merchants.
Washington ranks sixteenth among
the cities of the country in the amount
of money -order business transacted,
being led by such mail-order centers as
Chicago. which heads the list. New
York. Boston. Kansas city, Philadei-

Commissioner Brownow, who has

Objection was offered by officials Of
the Fire Department today to the sug-
gestion Of William Nick. Clayton that
signals be established at the fire stops
as warning to all traffic, on the
ground that II might cause an unneces-
sary suspension of traffic on several
streets. Such signals to be effective,
1t was pointed out, must be heard for
three or four squares.
Public's Cooperation Needed.
For instance, IT was said signal
