The 3-cent letter stamp becomes ef-
fective today. On every mail box in
the city the new postage rates are
published as follows:
Letters, 5 cents.
Letters for local delivery, cents.

Halloween saw more than N1,Uo
worth of stamps sold. The average
days work Of the stamp clerk usually
amounted to about 5000.
The rush is explained by postofnce
officials as being the closing day as
sault by large mailing concerns. Many
patriotic merchants, however, pre-
fered to buy the Scent stamps In or
der to help the government.
First deliveries of the new 3-cent
envelopes were made yesterday. More
deliveries will be made today. Sew
eral merchants placed their orders
for these envelopes more than a
month ago. One merchant alone

Wants Federal JOBS
OF SOLDIERS SAVED
Union Will Ask Congress to Remedy
Defect in Law.

Congressional leaders and members
Of the cabinet are being urged to pass
legislation at the coming session as
suing Federal employees who enter the
national army of their position when
they return from war.
This provision was made in the case
of reserve officers, but through over
sight no such provision was put in
the draft law. Members Of the Fed
eral employees union are behind the
campaign now to make up for this
deficiency.
The provision applies to men select
ed for service from the District who
happen to be on the employees roll
H. NJ. McLarin. president of the
union, says in bringing the matter to
the attention Of the various leaders,
that it was probably not their inten-
tion to discriminate against the con-
scripted men and that probably the
mere calling of this to the attention
of Congress will suffice.

Mother Near Collapse When
Search for Son Proves Vain
YearOld Clarence Reid Disappeared
From Home October Io-Movies
to Aid Search

While an engrossed city has for
gotten that, shortly after noon on
october 10 H-year-old Clarence Reid,
choir boy at the Church of the
Ascension, was mysteriously spirited
away from his home at 919 Twelfth
street northwest. his mother, who
can never forget, after keeping an
unceasing vigil OF more than a half
score aching days. was early this
morning on the verge Of prostra-
ton.
Today, in consequence, the boys
father. Edward S. Reid, will again
urge police of the city to renew their
quest for his son. which was neces-
sarily dropped during the last strug-
gle with the late J. Barleycorn.
Parents Receive Letter.
One ray of hope has tempered tho
anxiety of the lads parents-a dis
patch that he was safe in Enfield,
n. c.. accompanied with a letter pur~
porting to have been written by young
Reid-but both now feel certaino that
the incident will never aid them IN
his recovery. but rather cause SEEM
ingly unsurmountable complexities.
Although the letter received from
Enfield, n. c.. is undoubtedly in the
handwriting of the lost boy. belief is
maintained at his home here that
some older person must have dictated
1t to him as it bears the postscript:
Don't worry, mother"
1t is further thought that he has
never been in Enfield, the letter hav-
ing been written somewhere near
Washington and mailed from this
point by design. Mrs. Reid believes
there is a strong probability that he
may be out at Camp Meade but dill
gent search there has proved fruit

SAYS new TAX
Law WFAILS|N
ITS PURPOSE
c. of c. Committee States
Revenue Measure Is
Not Effective.

Taxation as a means for driving in
10 the government treasury, during
the war period. a large measure of
the swollen profits in many Of the in
dustrial lines, does not accomplish
the purpose OF preventing those pro-
fits and thereby eliminating the most
glaring cause of labor detection and
labor discomfort.
This, so the chamber of commerce
of the United States says, is apparent
thus far in advance of the actual ad
ministration of the new tax law.
Committees Statement.
Discussing the matter for the edi-
fication of the business men of the
nation. the committee on cooperation
with the national defense council had
this to say yesterday:
THE very magnitude of the under
taking restraints the vigor and energy
which would characterize the effort
to solve a less difficult problem. In
any event. however, success is only
relative and IN the early stages may
be lost sight of entirely because of
unavoidable confusion.
This makes 1t all the more i'm
portant to distinguish between the re-
, suits Of partial effort which does not
even endeavor to secure full results
and those of thoroughgoing, well-de-
veloped effort. When the government
has not endeavored to establish a
new method OF distribution to take
the place Of distribution by price even
in the instances where the govern
i ment has controlled prices and where
direct effort is not made to prevent
the earning OF large profits where
prices have been fixed, 1t is not to
he expected that production will be
distributed on the best basis for the
national defense or that discomfort
on the part Of labor will be avoided.
Clear Policy NEEDED.
There has not been developed as
yet a clear policy with regard to Sc
curing the assistance of business men
| in connection with the control OF
prices. In some cases the government
has called upon those interested in a
business to participate in the actual
| fixing of the prices. This has resulted
in a fixing OF prices by negotiation
which is clearly harmful. In the judg-
ment of the undersigned committee,
men elected by an industry to repre-
! sent 1t should be called upon by the
government for full information which
would be helpful in fixing prices. but
! the actual determination of the price
should be a semi-judicial function.
This means that wherever prices
are determined by the government it
is essential that such prices should be
arrived at according to some general
plan and upon a definitely declared
| basis. Such general principles should
| be followed so far as possible wher-
ever the government acts to control
prices and would serve as yard stick
or standard between different indus
! tries"
The Washington herald., 1917-11-02

Relatives and friends are alarmed
over the mothers condition and physi'
clans fear that unless word is received
from the boy it may cause her col
lapse. 1t is said she has lost from
l. to 15 pounds during the past few
days.
Clearance was a good boy" Mrs.
Reid explained to the police when
she first reported his disappearance,
land has never caused me a moment
of trouble.
'He loved horses and chickens and
both his father and have considered
the possibility that he may be on a
farm. He has always expressed a
preference for the South. as he doesn't
like the cold weather."
Suggestion has been made to the
family that the movies be pressed
into service to aid in the lads re-
covery and plans are already under
way whereby the family will have
descriptive slides flashed in photo
play houses throughout the United
States. The news weeklies, also, II
is conjectured. will aid as they have
in the past.
Circulars Sent Out.
Maj. Pullman last night stated that
the moment he is given a photograph
of the boy he would send it out over
the country through the usual means.
Circulars describing the lad have al
ready been dispatched from head
quarters.
The lad is of slender build, unusally
small for his age, and has rather
pallid complexion. He has blue eyes.
dark hair, and when last seen wore
a plaid cap, mixed suit and Boy
Scout shoes. Young Reid last sum-
mer was employed at The Herald.

GLASS BOTTOM BOATS

Oakland. Cal, Nov. 1.-The play
