The Cabin John car was passing
over a small bridge near the Syca-

1t is said, noticed a wire lying along
side the track. Stopping his car, he
alighted and approached the wire,
saying, according to the story told
by one company employe. that il was
a dangerous place for a wire to be

bringing instant death. His body was
thrown to the ground and the short
circuit caused by his body threw out
the breaker switches at the power
house. Conductor Musson telephoned
to company officials, the power was

removed. The company physician
was summoned and examined the
body, which was later removed to

as the song has 1t, is responsible
for the high price Of that fruit in

If people hadn't sung that ditty,

for bananas. the price would be
So a hundred pounds instead of

"Since they started singing that
song, they have been eating so
many bananas that they have
made them scarce. We can't meet
the demand, and, like every thing
that's short, the price stays high"
Scalco says that singing I'VE

mand in itself, as people demand
things they cannot have.
Just because that song says
there are no bananas, the people

NEW STARTS PROBE i
OF FOREIGN MAILS.
Takes Up Complaints That
Nations Hold Letters
for Own Ships.

Postmaster General New is making
personal study of the foreign mail
situation in connection with complaints
here and abroad that American mail Is
held back for ships flying the United
States flag and that mail bound for
this country is given to British and
French ships in preference to Ameri-
can vessels.
Whether il Is the policy of Great
Britain and France to hold mail ad-
dressed to points in the United States
for vessels OF their own registry has
not been made clear, but records kept
by American postal officials indicate
| that such a practice now is general.
Leyfathan Brought Little.
The case of the British liner Home
ric. which brought over $500 sacks of
mail recently while the Leviathan. sail
ing just ahead of her, had only thirty
one sacks, is cited as one instance of
the trend of events. At the same time
| the complications brought about by
mail-bearing ships delaying their pas
sage to get in immigrants under the
quota law also are being observed.
Inc lnlteu states II is emphasized
by Post Office Department officials is
the only large nation now operating a
| sea post service, Germany. France and
England having discontinued similar
arrangements during the war. A delay
of twenty-four hours or even forty
eight hours in placing mail aboard
American vessels so equipped in pref
erence to foreign ships sailing and
landing earlier, post office officials de-
clare, Is at least equalized by the work
! of the postal clerks at sea in sorting
and routing the letters and parcels SO
| they can be forwarded to their desti-
| nations as soon as a landing Is made.
PrOyisions Of 1920 Act.
Provisions of the merchant marine

stored to his normal splendid health" ~
