BUTTER DECLINE Is TARDY
IN REACHING WASHINGTON
Drop In Creamery Prices Not in
Comparison With Other Cities.
Dealers Offer Explanation.

Best creamery butter prices have
dropped somewhat in Washington dur
ing the past few days, but not in COM
parison to the decline reported In Chi
cago, Philadelphia, New York and
other large cities.
A decided reduction in retail prices
was predicted last week by the local
food administration. and at the time
il was announced that local house,
wives would soon benefit from this
market condition. However, the de-
cline has been tardy In reaching
Washington, the wholesale dealers
explaining that the stocks of butter
ordered by them at the reduced prices
had net reached the city and that the
butter being sold had been bought at
the high market prices.
The wholesale butter price in New
York and Philadelphia has declined
more than o cents pound within
the past few weeks, and, basing his
opinion upon this. the local food adj
ministrator looks for a still greater
reduction In prices now prevailing
here. The commodity is reported to
be plentiful throughout the country
and the demand greatly Iessened, all
of which should aid in the price de-
cline.
Fresh pork and lamb are reported
to be plentiful on the local market,
and. because Of the slack demand, the
prices are expected by the local ad-
ministration to take q big tumble
before the end of the week.

SUGGESTIONS TO BETTER
POSTAL SERVICE SOUGHT
Departmsnt Asks Constructive
Criticism Of $4,000 Business
Men and Firms Of q. S.

Constructive criticism OF 1900
business men, firms and commercial
organisations of the country with re-
Iatfon to improvements of the postal
service is sought by the Post Once
pepartment. There has been sent out
NV First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Rooms Of the department a cir
cuIar letter to these men, concerns
and organizations requesting their
help In this regard
s.The Post Office Department desires
to maintain the postal service at
high standard of efficiency" says the
letter. and make it meet the neces-
sites and requir ements of the pub
lie. Notwithstanding the extraordi-
nary conditions prevailing during me
war. the department has attempted
to do that which no other country at
war has undertaken, namely. to con-
ducf the postal service without cur
taiiment or restriction of facilities or
conveniences to the public and at the
same time perform the numerous ad-
ditional duties and war activities i'm
posed upon it / am not aware of any
way in which we can get in as close
touch with postal needs as through
the business organizations and rep
reseutative business men of the coun-
try.
with this end in view 1 am re-
questing that you advise me promptly
whether your postal service IS salts
factory and meets the necessities of
the business interests; il not what
are the existing defects wherein the
service should be remedied and i'm
proved?"

TO CONNECT POTOMAC
AND ROCK CREEK PARKS
Congress Asked to Provide for
Beginning the Work by
July l. 1871.

Legislation is asked Of the House
to be carried in the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill. now under considers
ton in committee, to make possible
the. starting OF construction work on
a parkway between Rock Creek and
Potomac parks by July 1. 1871
Secretary Glass Of the Treasury
has transmitted to the House q pro-
posal recommended by Col c. s. Rid
ley. executive ana Disturbing officer.
thar OF tins 100000 estimated for
1920 for this project. an allowances
not to exceed $4,000 shall be made
to prepare plans for the parkway.
In his letter OF Recommendation.
Col. Ridley says:
'The authority granted the Rock
Creek and Potomac Park commission
By the various acts Of Congress since
March 4, 1918, has been wholly for
land requirements, NO provision hav-
ing been made for the preparation OF
plans for construction OF the park
way.
,:'The estimate submitted for 1920
"a $500, 900, and an estimate Of $70o, 600
for 1921 would practically complete
the purchase Of the land. In order
that construction work may begin az
soon as the land IL purchased, II Is
necessary to begin preparation of
plans July l, this year, % that esti-
mates may be prepared for Congress
in time to secure an appropriation for
construction work beginning July /,

TEXAN OPPOSES
j. S. RAIL CONTROL
R. C. FuIbright of Traffic
League Says Shipping Pub
lie Is Against.

r. c. FuIbright OF Houston, Tex,
representing the Southwestern Indus
trial Traffic League before the Senate
interstate commerce committee today,
opposed government ownership and
operation of railroads, and urged that
all rate regulatory powers, including
the power Of suspension, be immedi-
ately restored to the interstate COM
merce commission as a protection to
shippers.
He also opposed the plan advocated
by the railroads for the creation of a
railroad department on the ground
that 1T might inject politics into the
management of the roads.
$50 far as have been able to ascer-
tain," Mr.. Fulbright said, there is no
exception to the desire on the pub
lies part that Congress Immediately
take action on this matter for we rec
ognize that the railroad administra-
ton will probably continue to act for
some months or perhaps some two
years, during which time every rate
adjustment in the country can be
changed and be made effective before
we have any opportunity of a hearing
by the commission created for such
purpose"
Mr.. FuIbright said 1t is true. az
stated by Mr.. McAdoo. that govern.
ment operation had not had fair test
due to war conditions, but added that
the shipping public did not desire
either government ownership or opera
ton.

Ten million women In the United

Mrs. Sherman said she believed the
United States School Garden Army now
being conducted by the federal bureau
of education should be extended.

success from q practical and food

Substantial reductions In freight
rates to ports in Great Britain and
Ireland were announced by the
United States Shipping Board today.
The rates generally are 81 hundred
pounds or so cents for every cubic
foot of cargo space used. These rates
will meet reductions made by British
steamship authorities. They represent
savings in freight rates from 90 to
Is per cent
The list of commodities to which the
revised rates apply includes aim ,st
everything exported by the United
States. 1t Is believed that the new
rates win enable the United States to
compete more successfully with other
countries in the British markets.
1t was pointed out in shipping cir
cles, however. that Great Britain has
an import license system which may
operate to the disadvantage of Aneri-
can exporters. This system requires
that before shipments are made to the
United Kingdom license must be OBJ
tanned not only by the shipper, but By
the boat in which the commodities are
sent -
