BUSY TRYING TO DO BIT.
D. c. Man, Now in Aviation, Was
Turned Down Half Dozen Times.

Paul A. Began. 231 I'd street south
east. has been kept busy during the
last few months trying to find a place
in the military forces where he could
do his bit "for his. country and flag"
In April. soon after the United States
was impelled into the war, he made ap-
plication for admission to the first
camp at Fort Myer, but was rejected
after a physical examination. He then
made application to three or four de-
Dartments of the government and the
Red Cross for service abroad a. a clerk.
Hearing nothing from these applica-
tions. he called up the aviation section
of the Signal Corps, and was informed
that there was very little chance for
him to pass their examination. He
then made formal application to the
Navy Aviation Corps and was rejected
on the ground of insufficient education,
having had only a high school educa-
ton and one, year Of law.
Being in fine physical condition, with
the exception of several missing teeth
which were extracted in a surgical op-
GRAFTON. he again made formal applica-
tion for the Army aviation service, and,
after considerable trouble. the surgeon
general of the Army waived~his defect
Then. before he could be enlisted in the
Aviation Corps. he was drafted. Now
he is being inducted into the National
Army and expects shortly to receive or
ders to proceed to Princeton University
for assignment to duty at the Aviation
School September %.

marked the beginning Of the end Of con-
ferences. It was predicted in some quar-
ters that a full report might be made to
both houses Thursday. Under such an
arrangement the bill would be ready for
the Presidents signature by the end OF
the week.
Every effort has been made to reach
a full agreement in conference, SO that
nothing shall be taken back to either
house piecemeal. AS a result tenta-
tive agreement to impose tho automo-
bile tax on manufacturers. as proposed
in the original House bill, has been
reached. Democratic Leader Kitchin
insisted in conference that tho automo-

C0NFEREES AGREE
ON POSTAGE TAXES
Modified Zone Plan for In
creasing Second Class Rates
on Publications Decided.

, Second class postage taxes in the war
tax bill were agreed upon today by the
conferees.
A modified zone plan for increasing
rates on newspapers and periodicals was
decided upon, according to reliable in
formation which filtered through the
strict order of secrecy. None of the
conferees would disclose any intima-
ton of their action.
Others. however, in close touch with
the second-class mail question said the
conferees had agreed upon modifica-
tion of the House zone plan. Their in
formation was to the effect that a
compromise between the House and
McKellar plans had been reached pro-
posing limited circulation area in
which present 1-cent-a-pound rates
would not be raised and reducing both
the graduated zone rate increases OF
both the House and McKellar plans.
Postmaster General Burleson talked
with the conferees before their de-
cision was reached today and was said
to have urged the Hardwick plan of
raising postage rates, especially on ad-
Senators Forced to Yield.
Representative Kitchin and the other
House conferees, it was said. threaten
ed to take the fight back into the
House If the Senate conferees did not
yield on the second-class mail Ques-
ton.
Coupled with the agreement on the
publication postage rates was said to
be a decision by the conferees to re-
store in part at least the House taxes
on irst-class mail.
Secretary McAdoo injected himself
into the second-class mail fight on the
side of the publishers today, and this
Is believed to have had much to dc
with reaching an agreement. He told
members that he did not think such a
prohibitive rate as proposed by the
House bill should be fixed.
