Mr.. Koockegey in a resolution, which
was passed by the association and re-
ferred to the executive committee.
Side-door entrance street cars were
criticised by members, who said that
in the present congested traffic condi-
tions during the rush hours it was
practically impossible to get on a
side-door street car. J. L. Feeney rec
commended that doors be built in the
front and rear of these side door cars
to enable passengers to get on and
off the cars. w. T. Pierson said that
more cars are needed on the Brook
land line and there are three or four
cars running on street to the north
east section of the city for every car
that goes north on North Capitol
street. He characterized conditions in
the street cars during rush hours as
"disgraceful."

LOSING BUSINESS
ON MONEY ORDERS
T0OTHER NATIONS
U. S. Still Using Old Methods.
Uncertainty Makes Re-
form Difficult.

International money order BUSH
ness handled by the Post Office De-
partment is being lost by reason of
the uncertain status of rates on eX-
change. and the fact that the Post
Office Department is working To-Day
under money order conventions with
foreign countries entered into twenty
or more years ago.
Many complaints have been received
at the Washington city post once.
due to the fact that this office, In
common with the remainder OF the
$4,000 international money order Of
fees throughout the cousry. is using
the old rates of exchange prevailing
before the war, whereas the value
of the franc. the pound and other for
eign moneys has gone down
A person today who asks a post
office international money order office
for s. worth of francs to send to
France gets in return money oroer
based on the old convention. he Will
get about twenty-five francs whereas
if he goes TO a bank he VII! get IN
the neighborhood of fifty francs.
No Remedy. Due to Uncertainty.
Officials of the Post Office Depart
ment declared today that owing TO the
uncertain state of the world, especial
" as regards lack of a stable measure
for money values. the Post once De
partment can really do hothlnS III the
matter
Pointing to the fact that the inter-
national money order business of the
department has fallen from hundreo
million to about twenty-five mllioh
dollars a year, officials declared tnat
the department has not solicited IN
ternational money orders and that
persons who buy the orders get an
order on which the rate of exchange
is plainly stamped. 1t was indicated
that the Post Office Department can
b he n A.
ton of making new international
money order conventions with Eng
land, France and other countries. but
that this must wait until a peace has
been proclaimed.
Lost Money During War.
Uncle Sam. during the war, it was
declared instead of making money on
the international money orders, lost
thousands OF dollars, owing to the
high value of certain neutral money
measures The value of Hollands
money and that of other neutral
countries rose away above par. and
the Post Office Department lost so
much money on international orders
drawn on these countries that IL was
forced to limit an order to SO.
One Speculator in nearby city, 1t
was stated. bought 100000 worth of
money orders or Holland. and was
coming money rapidly at Uncle Sans
expense until the Post Office Depart
ment was forced to step in and block
his game.
Alexander NJ. Dockery. third assist
ant postmaster general, today de-
clared that the Post Office Department
could not attempt to notify it's $4,000
international money order stations of
changes in rates of exchange, which
notification would necessarily have to
be by telegraph to be of any value.
This would be an impossible situation.
Mr.. Dockery stated. He intimated
that officials of the Post Office Depart
ment do not like the present situation
any more than the public. and that Of
ficials are praying for the return of
stable rates of exchange.

ris said. the blocks in which there
are schools are patrolled by police

should be followed in Washington.
