BIC JOB FOR HAYS
Moving Picture People Offer
p Gen. $4,000 Yearly.
VIII Not Decide ON Cabinet
Resignation for Ten Days.

Washington, jan 1 tby the A P-)-
Postmaster General Hays said today
he had not yet decided whether TO
leave the cabinet and accept the new
place he had been offered in the mo-
ton picture industry and was not like
ly to make a decision within the next
ten days.
AS matters now stand. it is said by
some of the postmaster general s
friends he is not inclined to sever his
connection with the administration.
despite the unusual salary that would
be carried by the position rendered
him.
Details OF the offer made by the
motion picture people are to be dis
cussed with them by Mr.. Hays on
January Il, and he has told his as
sistants in official life here that he in
tends to hold an open mind until aft
er the conference. Until yesterday
the postmaster general. who had been
away from Washington resting, had
not mentioned the offer to Mr.. Hard
ing.
The two had luncheon together at
the White House yesterday, however,
and Mr.. Hays is said to have told the
chief executive that the proposition
looked too attractive to dismiss with
out consideration. Regret that there
might be any prospect of losing his
postmaster general was expressed by
Mr. Harding, but the subject was
dropped with the understanding that
no resignation was imminent.
Despite evidence that Mr.. Hays is
not now inclined to favor this pro-
posaI made to him, some of those
closely associated with him believe
that in the end he may do 50.
The postmaster general is a COM
parativeIy poor man and when he en-
tered the cabinet after devoting all
his time for several years to his tasks
as national chairman many of his
friends predicted that he would stay
in the government service only a year
or so and then again take up his law
practice.
Published figures to the effect that
the motion picture producers have
sugg ested $15o,00o a year to begin
with are said to be somewhat under
the sum now in prospect as the BID
has been increased upon the postmas-
ter generals repeated refusals hith-
erto.

TEST NEW CROSSING SIGNAL
Device to Protect Motorists Tried Out
by q. p. Officials

Additional tests of a new crossing
signal device were made at several
points along the Union Pacific tracks
near Topeka Tuesday night by G. o.
Brophy, division superintendent, ac-
companied by r. W. Blair. general at
torney for the railroad company, and
NJ. W. Watson, state highway engi-
neer.
The device, which is already in use
in some of the eastern states, serves
as a silent warning TO motorists that
they are approaching a railway cross
ing The device operates constantly
and permanently without change 1t
contains no mechanism whatever and
therefore is not affected by weather
conditions and cannot get out of fix"
It Is not intended to signal the ap-
proach Of trains but only to let the
highway traveller know that a rail-
road crossing is directly ahead.
The operation of the device is based
upon the universal theory that red
is a danger sign. The device is a large
oval shaped sign, in the center of
which is q RED glass Natural light
during the day makes the glass easily
apparent, and at night, aided by the
glare OF motor car headlights. the
effect is even more striking The de-
vice is not located next to the rail-
road track but some distance away
in order to give the warning well in
advance
