BYPOST OFFICE ON
u. S. STAMP FANS

A clear profit Of more than $31.oeo
was reported today by the philatelic
agency of the Post ONCE Department
for>the first years work in selling
stamps to collectors.
Begun as a service to the people. the
agency has shown itself to be q big
moneymaker as we'll. due to the great
interest of the people of the country
in collecting postage stamps.
Total sales during the year amount
ed to $46.576.3S.. according to the re-
port. while the cost Of preparing and
issuing the new series of stamps
which the agency is selling will not
exceed $500. and the operating ex-
penses Of the agency do not exceed
$1,000 a year.
Stamps are sold by the agency at
face value. and, never being used as
postage, thus become clear profit to
the government.

BETTER CONSULAR
Salaries URGED

Urging passage Of the Rogers bill
for reorganization and Improvement
OF the foreign service, Secretary
Hughes told the House foreign az
fairs committee today that the United
States could not afford to be repre-
sented abroad by any class Of men
short Of the best obtainable.
Broadly, the bill, which Mr.. Hughes
said had been approved by President
Harding, would grade men in the
foreign service under the rank Of
minister into various classes, and
permit the interchange Of men from
where they could serve the American
government more advantageously.
No Political Aspect.
You have got to democratize Sc
lection OF men for the diplomatic
field" said Mr.. Hughes. "and I want
to emphasize that this proposal has
no partisan or political aspect what
ever. My sole desire is to raise both
the diplomatic and the consular
services to the highest degree and
to put them on the basis where they
ought to be.
1--WE have got to give the young
man entering this field the assurance
that he can live. get married and
support himself along reasonable
American standards."
Mr.. Hughes said 1t was not good
thing for the diplomatic. service to
be recruited from the men Of affairs
who could afford the life.
Cost Put ut $500 900.
II am the last man In the world to
deny credit to young men Of fortune
in the SERVICE" said Mr.. Hughes. II
do not know what we could do unless
we could draw on men Of culture and
refinement, who could afford to Join
US abroad But 1t would be a great
misfortune and undemocratic for this
government to arrange its affairs in
way which would exclude the

Mr.. Hughes estimated that the
provisions In the bill for higher pay
would not entail an expense Of much
more than 100000 q year.

Although there is nothing tangible
to indicate that Mr.. Wilson would
commend q platform of light wine
and beer to his colleagues in the
democratic party, it is much more
likely that he will lean toward that
side than toward the dry end OF the
controversy. Mr.. Harding has COM
mitted himself and his party to the
mAinter ance Of the volstead act. Mr.
Wilson never favored that act, and is
free to advocate Its repeal or modifi-
cation.

worked this season. In Buckley. now
llaying his third season with the
team, Central has catcher capable
of getting the best results out of his
battery mates.
The Blue and White outfield is
hew affair, but it can cover plenty OF
ground. Judge flies in creditable
manner and hit enough to make many
pitchers uncomfortable. Drissetl in
left, Williams in center and Falls In
right are sturdy boys that round out
Il really high-clasS scholastic nine.
Central also has an abundance of
good reserve material. being better
fortified in that respect than any of
the other schools.
Tech, with numerous veterans at
hand: has organized a team that
should take a deal of beating. Whyte
at first, HALEY at second. Quesada at
short and Murray at third make an
infield that can check many we'll
planned attacks. Barber. Rhees and
Wood are being used in the outfield
and they are strong as fielders and
hitters. Capt Shanks and johnson,
both of whom played last year, are
ready to do the catching. while two
or three pitching candidates have i'm
pressed Coach Apple favorably.
Westerns Line-Up Unsettled.
George Green. Westerns tutor. is
r -
trials and probably will not settle
upon regular team until late this
week. There are not SO many boys
in the Red and White squad, but
those out are working in a manner
that indicates Western may not be
easy pickin's' for the other teams
in the league. In Reese Hair the
Georgetown school has a we'll sea-
soned scholastic pitcher who has done
much good flinging in other school
campaigns. and there are some fairly
hard hitters with the team. II per-
formances in pre-championship series
games mean anything.
At present Central seems to have
the inside track in the race for the
title, but Tech and Business appar-
Blue and White on its toes all the
way, while Eastern and Western
should provide interesting opposition.
Unfortunately. lack of playing fields
prevented the adoption OF a twenty
game schedule that would have per-
twice this spring, but the shorter
series to be played promises some
worth while tilts.
those scheduled in the High School
League should prove entertaining this
week Tuesday is to be quite day
for the school mines. Western and
Episcopal are slated to clash. Tech
will battle with Emerson Institute
and ST. Johns goes to Baltimore to
encounter Calvert Hall. Central is
due to face the Catholic University
freshmen at Brookland Wednesday,
while Business and Gonzaga will be
opponents Friday. Eastern and st.
Johns are to be active Saturday. The
former has an engagement with Bril-
arIey Hall at Poolesville. st. Johns
will play against Rock Hill here.
Army and Navy Preps have in
stoughton one of the best scholastic
pitchers in Washington. This husky
boy has done all the fiinging for the
Connecticut Avenue School this sea-
son and has lost but one game-that
to Tech. The defeat came after
Stoughton had easily baffied Central
two days before. and the pitcher was
not in the best of condition.
