plying energy TO their employees as IN
supplying coal under their boilers. b.
M. Jewell, head Of the snop crafts
unions, told the Railroad Labor Board
today in presenting a budget requlr-
ing $2,63697 year for sustaining a
workingman's family.
America. with such productive
power and such natural resources,
should afford all hcr workers more than
a shabby existence" he declared in con
tinuing his fight against wage reduc-
tions sought by 204 railroads. To OBJ
tain what his budget provides, however,
he said raiiroad mechanics must earn
40 per cent more than at present.
MIR. JEWELS budget, he said, was
ba sed on an average railroad mechanics
family. 1t provided, he asserted. no
more than sane supply Of food and
only the barest minimum in other re
spects." The food menus would furnish
the wage-earner 4,140 calories day.
The s263697 family budget, he said,
was about $500 more than the Depart
ment of Labor's budget.

10 Cents for Meal. Charge
"Under the 671z cents an hour rate
which the railroads propose a mechanic
can make 81 5000 \ year 81 900 less
than the amount ssary to purchase
the essentials listed in the budget" he
said,
Then there is the rate Of 40 cents an
hour proposed for helpers. With not
an hour Of regular working time missed
this means annual earnings of S979.20.
The allowance for food of s383.20 pro-
vides 10 cents meal for the man and
6 cents daily for the youngest CHILD.
For clothing $3.50 is allowed.
Every article Of clothing must wear
from two to three times as long a.
is contemplated in the budget pre-
pared by the economists for the rail
road workers. Three summer union
suits must do about three years serv-
ice. The mans suit must wear eight
years, his winter overcoat ten years

RECALLING A LETTER.
The POstOffice Department Tells How 1t
May Be Done.

Have you ever written a letter, mailed
it in corner box or in your local post
Office and then changed your mind? Have
you ever lain awake all night wishing
you had the letter back again and think
ing that, having once mailed 1t, there
was 10 chance of recalling it?
If you have had such an experience
don't lei it worry you in the future. for
under the postal laws and regulations it
is Il comparatively easy matter for YOU
10 get the letter back into your own
hands.
All YOU have to do is to go to your 10
cal postmaster and explain to him that
you want to withdraw your letter from
the mails. The postmaster must com
ply with your request, providing you can
furnish proofs that you are the sender
of the missive. These proofs consist of
giving an accurate description of the
letter you wish to get back as well as
presenting to the postmaster sample
Of your handwriting, which must be
identical with that on the original let
ter.
The rules of the postofice department
also permit pOstmastCrS> to telegraph to
the railway mail clerk and get him to
take a recalled letter out of a mail pouch
after it has left the city on the way TO
it, destination. This measure to secure
the return Of letter is taken, however,
only in extreme emergencies.

PUMP AT WORK 10 YEARS.
Remarkable Record of Machine In
stalled in 1872


Amid the wonders of modern machin-
cry we are apt to lose sight of the me-
chanical contrivances of the early part
of the last century which, while they
may be deemed crude of construction in
the light of present-day knowledge, yet
continue to perform invaluable service
to the community.
A case in point is that of two water
pumping engines at the Brookmill road
Deptford. station of the Metropolitan
water board, one of which was erected
there in 1912 and the other in 1924.
Both, with hardly a break, have been
pumping steadily at the rate of Al gall
ions a stroke or 1,7j0,000 gallons a day
since they were first set going.
Three stoppages for repairs have been
necessary to the 'centenarian'' of re-
cent years-in 1905 when the fywheel
and cast iron crank broke and were re-
placed by a forged steel shaft and a
smaller wheel Of a similar type; in 1907
when 4 broken sweep rod was repaired,
the body rod being kept as originally
supplied; and in 1920 when the inside
(short stroke) pump broke and was
mendcd with a cast iron rod and cross
head
The only mishap recorded in connec-
tion with the second engine is a fire
which burned off the cylinder tagging
and resulted in the construction of the
present metallic covering. Both engines
are fitted with two pumps. one inside the
other, but only the inner ones are at
present working. The water was for
merly drawn from a filtration from the
River Iavensbourne (Which runs beside
the station) but is now taken from
wells, and is pumped from Deptford to
Shooters Hill
Probably the Oldest working engines

No. 2s OF this city. it was announced
today by J. Ronda Stephens, post
commander. A free site for the vii
lage and 4 promise Of free water and
electric lights for all cottages at Medi-
cine Park has been made to the post
by j. Elmer Thomas.
The local post proposes to build
the Hotel de Ville' for the village
with an auditorium seating 1000 per.
sons. The plan is TO have other posts
throughout the state build cottages
where members may spend their va.
cations
Native stone is abundant at the
park and Maurice Jayne Of Oklahoma
City. architect retained by the post,
estimates that the cost Of the cottages
will be small. Windows and doors
and labor cost will be the chief items.
The site offered the legion is out
Of sight of any American structures.
The plan is TO have visitors come
upon the typical French village as
they round the base Of one Of the
Wichita mountains.

led With Amounts Spent
in Developing New Field
Spells Optimism

with something more than mil.
lion dollars available for expenditure
in city and county the first six months
OF the year, Ardmore should be opti.
mistic over financial conditions"
James Barron. secretary Of the Cham.
Der Of Commerce said today CON-
menting on conditions generally.
First there will be the $500, 900
for roads throughout thu county" Mr..
Barron continued. "this should be met
with at least 100000 federal aid
money. Then the $500, 900 water bond
issue to be expended in the city
proper, which means of course more
employment. More money will be
spent in developing the new field in
the Brock district. and the figures
will well exceed million dollars.
Altogether Ardmore and Carter
county should begin to realize that
there is nothing in the world to
worry about SO far as finances are
concerned.
EVERY citizen will in some way
be benefited with the results of the
expenditure of this money. either di.
rectly or indirectly, and feeling Of
optimism should prevail throughout
the county"

OKLAHOMA CITY.-Although re
