Shows u. S. Paid France

WASHINGTON. March 24.--secretary
Mellon to-day spoke an apparently final
word for the Treasury concerning ale-
cations in France that this government
still owes France money on the Louis
lana Purchase and other old transac-
tions
A further search Of Treasury records
was made, he said, and failed to reveal
any evidences of unpaid obligations or
anything to indicate that the records
themselves were incomplete.

The business of our street railway department, concisey stated, is to get passengers to their des tnations as quickly and as comfortably possible. We have been able to make continuous improve ments in service in spite of many handicaps and adverse conditions. With somewhat larger rev. enue now assured, we still go farther in that di recton and purpose to do so.
 But, no matter how far may go, it is impossible for us to give our patrons maximum service without the cooperation of the patrons themselves.
 In inviting them to cooperate with us sug- gesting some of the ''hows'' of this team work We want them to play the game with us because they will be the chief gainers The game of course is to save time in the transit of the cars.
 Here is concrete illustration:
 Along comes one of our "pay- youenter' cars
 the cars which mark Birmingham an up-to- date city. In the car, let say, 30 passengers At stopping point passenger gets and offers the conductor motorman dollar bill to change. The uaisaction requires 20 seconds. That means 20 seconds taken out of the time of everyone of the 30 passengers already in the total of 600 onds, or 10 minutes lost.
 Suppose, further, there were six or eight people behind that passenger with dollar bill and the man in charge of the car had to make change for each dime in one case, quarter in another or half dollar and so on The delay frequently amounts to much as two or three minutes
 Suppose the process is repeated at each stopping point. Patrons route have lost time, those wait ing at the stopping have lost time, the car has lost time in getting to it's terminal point and passengers waiting there to board for the return trip have lost time. It is in which everybody loses and body gains.
 If all would be thoughtful enough to have the ex- act fare ready when he she enters the car, this waste of time, which in the course of a single day amounts to hours-lost by the public-would be eliminated
 Consequently, when you hand in your exact fare you not only saving your own time but that of your fellow passengers the and those waiting to use it. It's big thing to do and it requires lit tie effort to do it.

As a result of a joint meeting Sat

No. 1857, United Commercial Travel
ers of America. and a special COM
mittee Of the mercantile section of
the Chamber of Commerce, a get
together" dinner will be held early
in the fall. The object is to boost
Wilmington's wholesale trade on the

/. B. Finkelstein. who headed the
committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, delivered an interesting
address at the meeting. John w.
BATHS. secretary of the Travellers
Council, introduced Mr.. Finkelstein.
One Of the first things needed to
develop Wilmington to its proper
place as a trade center. said Mr.. Fin
kelstein, is faith. Too many indi-
vidual concerns are working separ-
ately instead of collectively, he add
ed. They haven't attempted to sell
Wilmington but are merely looking
out for their own ends" he went on
