POSTAL LOWERS
TELEGRAPH RATES
One Company In keokuk Announces
Cut Of Twenty Per Cent, But the
Other Maintains Burleson
Rate.

The rate for kilograms out of Keo,
kuk was reduced twenty per cent this
morning by the Postal company. The
Western Union maintains the same
old rates twenty per cent higher.
Manager H. A. Anderson, of the
Postal company. said the new rates
went into effect at midnight last night,
on the instant that the company re.
ceived back its business from the
government. It applies to day and
night messages everywhere, and to
night letters to a destination within
the state of Iowa.
The new rate is the same as the
rate charged before the government
took over the telegraph lines and
Burleson raised the charges. The
Postal company always maintained
that the government rates We're too
high and as soon as possible 1t can
cells them.
The Western Union Office at Keokuk
said today that no orders had been
received to change the wartime rates
and that it is making no reduction in
the rates charged for a year or more.
About $4,000 year is paid for
kilograms in Keokuk every year, and
If it all went via the Postal wires, the
saving by the new rate would be
about 81 900 to Keokuk people. Some
! single business concerns here spend
5000 a month for telegraphing, ana
the saving to each will be $40 month.

AS the consular representative OF

the district court section of a treaty
between the United States and Greece
which provided that the Greek gov
eminent shall be recognized as the

Judge Hamilton then removed Lam
brakis as administrator of the Leoleos
estate and appointed C. D. Royal ad.
ministrator.
It is under this appointment that
Royal sued the Rock Island railroad
the other day.
But just before that suit was filed,
the law firm of Hughes, Rankin and
Dolan perfected an appeal to the Iowa
supreme court from the decision Of
Judge Hamilton on the probate side of
the district court here.
That appeal will hardly be decided
before next January and If it re-
verses Judge Hamilton, the acts of
Royal as administrator will go for
naught, including the filing Of the
damage suit, these lawyers say. If
Judge Hamilton is affirmed by the
supreme court, then there will be a
clear track through the courts for the
case filed by Royal.

IMPORTERS GET
WEALTHY AS THE
EXCHANGE DROPS
Americans Buying at Low
Foreign Prices and Sell
ing High

New York, Dec. 24.-American
importers now purchasing goods in
England, France and Italy for ship
ment to the United States, are wax
/ ing fat as a result OF the deprecia-
ton of the pound sterling, the
| franc and lira, according to stories
now going the rounds of the New
York wholesale district.
The only Fly in the ointment" for
the American buyers abroad is the
fact that, by a Presidential order
/ several weeks ago, United States
consuls are required to keep tab on
big purchases, ascertain the selling
price and cable these facts to the
United States customs authorities.
Then. by figuring the rate of ex-
change on the date of purchase, the
Government is enabled to set pro-
per value upon the goods for the col
lection of import duties. Court OF
Claims passes upon what are alleg-
ed to be unfair appraisals.
How 1t Works.
The situation is said to be some
what like this: An American buying
pound sterling say, on December IL,
needed to pay in American money
only sass for British currency nor
mally worth about $4.S7. Now he
goes, to a factory in Nottingham,
Eng, to buy laces and there. al
though prices of course are higher
than before the war, he pays for
them in this deprecated British
money and makes a handsome"
profit. Then he ships the laces to
the United States where, by reason
of the imitation of the American dol
lar, they are retailed for from 100
to $50 per cent, above pre-war
prices.
The same importer, on the same
date, we will say, goes to France. In
Paris he has exchanged his Amer
lean dollars for francs. Normally
there are 5.18 Is francs to the dol
lar but now he finds one yankee
"simoleon" will buy 11.52 francs
over 100 per cent more than before
the war. The price of silks has gone
up but he goes to Lyons and there
with his deprecated French money
he buys more than he has evel
bought before at bargain" prices
The silks reach New York where
double their former retail price.
The same financial conditions eX
list all over Europe and in the for
mer Central Empires, of course
they are reported much worse.
Pay in American Money.
American manufacturers, mean
while, who desire to sell their pro
ducts abroad are demanding pay
ment in American dollars at par
Recently the Belgian government, i
is said, bought 20 American locomo
tives, for which payment instead o
being in Belgian money was de
manded in American dollars, thu,
adding from Is to 20 per cent to the
manufacturer normal profit. Nat
urally this discourages foreign buy
ing.

Occupational Survey
For Women Planned

The Young Women's Christian AS
sociation is conducting a survey of
New York City and vicinity to inves-
tigate opportunities for women train
ed in employment and personnel
work, in publicity work, and in work
requiring linguistic ability. During
the war a great many women de-
veloped capabilities never before sus-
pCcted by themselves. Having be-
come expert during their period OF
war srvice, they are now able to fill
similar positions in civil life, and the
Y. w. c. A. employment service has
received many applications from them
for work along these lines.
I The first survey to be completed was
that in department stores, to investi-
gate the opportunities for education
az directors, employment managers
and so forth, and also for buyers. An
other similar investigation is under
way in all the factories employing
200 or more women in Greater New
York and vicinity, including the big
factory belt in New Jersey. This in
vestigation is discovering some very
interesting opportunities not only ir
employment and personnel work, but
also as production managers and fore
women! The number of trained wo'
men employed in New York in suct
positions is very small as compared
with those in some other parts of tn,
country.
