FIVE CITIES USE MOST
OF MUTTON ON MARKET

Washington, Boston. New York.
Chicago and Philadelphia take four
fifths of all the sheep and lambs
placed on the market of the United
States, excluding the Pacific coast.
This fact is pointed out by Robert G.
Gould. secretary of the American
Meat Packers Association. in a state
ment which says that the American
people are not taking advantage Of
the possibilities, of mutton. which is
one Of the most palatable meats when
properly prepared" He asserts that
the yearly consumption Of mutton has
dropped nearly 80 per cent since 1910.
The reason given by Mr.. Gould for
the small consumption Of mutton Is
that in part most housewives do not
know how to prepare many sheep and
lamb cuts, and some retailers do not
know how to cut many parts Of tho
dressed animals"
He maintains that American house.
wives are missing golden oppor-
tunity when they pass up mutton.

1000 Names on Petition.
A trunk full of letters and a petit
tion said to carry 1000 names were
presented to the Postmaster General
by the delegation. According to state
ments made in the petitions and let
ters, the reorganization of routes has
eliminated a number of rural mail
carriers and resulted in detriment to
. the mail service in the rural dis
tricts.
Senator's Wadsworth and Calder of
New York were present at the hear
ing. Postmaster General Burleson
asked the delegation to present their
evidence to Fourth Assistant Post

Five million more rural people now
receive mail service than formerly,
and 100000 families yet remain to re-
ceive the rural service, Post Office
Department officials declared.
Representative snyder called the
attention of the Postmaster General
to a case involving the deprivation
of fourteen families Of mail for four
weeks. Members of the delegation
endeavored to get Mr.. Burleson to
personally examine then and there
the evidence which they had brought
in the trunk, but he told them that

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 10
Airplane surveying is to be developed
by the United States coast and geo.
detic survey, Col. E. Lester Jones,
head of this government bureau. de-
clared in an address here today before
the second Pan-American aeronautic
convention. Only one-third of the
country is adequately mapped, and the
aeroplane undoubtedly will be called
upon to take a prominent part in de-
veloping map of the whole area
within a few years. he said.
TT is not believed that the aero
plane, unsupported by other survey
Ing, can give the final accuracy re-
quired in original surveys" Col. Jones
stated. But by its means can be
made a map that will be much better
than the maps which may be in exist
ence today in the areas which have
not been Geographically mapped
Might Show Submerged Rocks.
1t is a debatable question, accord
ing to the coast and geodetic survey
official. whether the aeroplane photo
graph made over a water area will
CATION when the plates are devel-
oped. "If they are shown" he said,
there is a vast field for the aero
plane in making photographs over
water where it is known that many
distractions exist. 1t may be possible
that an aeroplane photograph will
indicate submerged rocks or. other
dangers that are close to the surface
Of the water" +:
Col. Jones said 1t undoubtedly would
be possible to make an accurate,
large-scale contoured map by COM
bining the usual methods of survey
ing with the aero photographs. He
expressed confidence that even on the
highest grade of topographic maps,
aero photographs can be used to a
great degree in revising and bringing
up to date maps of that character
which already have been made.
In order to test existing maps and
learn whether they are up to date
the usual method. he pointed out
would be to send a survey into the
field to go over the area in great
detail. -.

FRENCH CLAIMS.

France wants, first of all, Alsace-Lor-
raipe Internationally. and the right to
discuss and ultimately to fix the French
frontiers In their relation TO the Rhines
which may require the creation of buff
fer states. One of these would be the
Palatinate and another Rhenish Prus-
STA. France desires also to annex the
basin of the Sarre river, which might
be called a remuneration.
France will insist that so far as the
left bank of the Rhine farther to the
north is concerned, the conference
should forbid military works of any
kind-barracks bridgeheads, forts and
fortresses-in that zone. The feeling
Is that the people inhabiting that zone
should be free to decide for them
selves whether they wish TO join
France, form an independent state, or
return to Germany.
The French bill for reparation is not
complete, but it has been announced in
the chamber of deputies that II will
be about 66,O000OO.O0O francs ($13.-
20O,000,O00).
The French government does not
ask for protectorate in Syria in the
ordinary sense because it considers
that the population there is too adj
vanced to make a protectorate neces-
sary, but France, on account of her
traditional interests in that country,
feels that she should be called upon to
exercise some sort of guardianship or
guidance until Syria should be fully
able to govern herself.
