In proof Of the strong patriotic SEN

Col W. I. Chantland one of the as
sistant attorney generals who repre-
scented the Iowa university at con-
ference Of college presidents, who have
advised the government that they stand
ready to give this country an inter-
collegiate intelligence bureau.
Tho proposed bureau would furnish
to the United States in time of war
scientifically trained men for military
duty of a nature that the intellectual
attachments they received while in col
lege would especially adapt them.

Extra Pay For Rural Carriers.
Largely thru the energies Of Con-
-srcssman Harry Hull of the Second
Iowa district who urged its inclusion,
the senate postoffice bill now before
the upper house contains a clause pro-
";dinS that rural carriers viii receive
S25 a year for each mile or fraction
thereof they travel daily over twenty
four miles on their rural routes. The
clause. which is expected to pass the
senate and remain in the bill as law,
has the effect of assuring rural car
riarS extra pay for all mileage over
twenty -four they travel. More than
30 per cent Of the rural carriers in the
Second Iowa district travel routes that
vary from twenty-six to thirty-one
miles. Congressman Hull endeavored
to get the provision inserted in the
house bill, but failed. and he appealed
to- the senate pOstoffice committee, the
members of which realized the justice
Of his claims in behalf of the rural
carriers. by inserting the clause in the
senate draft of the measure.
