TREASURY CHIEFS
WAR ON AUTO|ST
Demand Safety Platforms at
Car Stops Be Replaced
for Employees.

Voicing vigorous protest to what
are declared to be dangerous" traf-
fic conditions on 18th street imme-
diately east of the Treasury, officials
today started a petition to the Dis
trict Commissioners requesting that
the safety platforms, removed from
18th street, be replaced
At an early hour today. II was
understood. the petition had many
prominent signatures at the Treas
ury building, and following its cir
culation there, might be sent to 9TH
ers in the vicinity, who are accus-
toned to boarding street cars at the
points in question.
When the wooden platforms east Of
the Treasury were removed from the
street safety isles were painted.
Says Autoists Are Menace.
Automobiles. however. it is alleged,
fagrantly violate the safety zone, run
ming through and over II at will.
Later the zone was painted narrower.
and a steel contriVance placed in the
street to guide motorists TO the edge
of the zone. The loading places for
have been made so narrow that with
automobile traffic the car stop is a
danger.
Traffic at that point has grown 50
congested that passage TO the safety
zones is a risk itself. il is pointed
out. The Commissioners are request
ed to restore the wooden platforms.

MAY CUT POSTAGE
ONPHOTOGRAPHS
Congress to Be Asked to Re-
classify Them as Parcel
Post Matter.

There is every likelihood that Con-
greSs will he asked by the Post Of
fee Department next winter to place
photographs, now classed as third
class mail matter in the fourth or
parcel post class of mail.
A high official of the department
said today that he believed Congress
could be induced to do this, and said
that there really is no reason why
photographs should continue to be
sent as third class matter, without
any insurance privilege.
He said that the department was
not yet in receipt of resolutions from
the national photographers conven-
tion which just adjourned here.
AS it stands at present, If a pho
tographer sends out by mail a batch
of photos. he will have to pay con-
siderably more postage, if three
pounds or under. than he will If the
parcel weighs five pounds.
This anomaly is brought about by
the fact that If the package of pho
tographS weighs five pounds or more
it goes as fourth-class matter, or par
eel post. The cost for three pounds
would be perhaps 25 cents. Weighing
several pounds more, it would go for
S cents.
In addition to paying materially less
postage, the parcel would have the
privilege of being insured. and, if lost.
the government would have to pay an
indemnity. AS third-claSs mail the
sender would have to pay more, and
not have the privilege of getting any
insurance.

SALE MAY RATE COST
OF IMPORTATIONS
Tariff Commission to Seek Estab-
lishment of Principle in
Findings.

Establishment of principle where
by the domestic selling price of i'm
ports may be used as a basis for de-
termining production cost will be
sought by the tariff commission. II
was said today, in hearings which
have been ordered under the flexible
provisions of the tariff act.
The first step in the search for this
basic principle may be taken next
Tuesday when the commission hears
arguments for and against the appli-
cation for an increase of 35 per cent
in duties now imposed on wall
pockets.
Investigators have practically COM
pleted their inquiry into the domes-
tic cost of these goods, and the COM
mission will have available also ex-
haustive analyses of foreign values
as shown In the invoices of import
erS.
Any great difference between the
latter and the wholesale price in the
American market would be taken. it
was indicated. as evidence of a mate
rial variance in the cost of production
here and abroad.

CORN LIQUOR DRIVES
DRINKERS TO POLICE
Has Strange Power Over Victims
Court Records In
dicate.

Corn liquor drinkers face a new
terror, perhaps more to be dreaded
than the dangers of delirium
tremens.
1t is strange impulse which
overcomes the drinker and guides
him straight into the clutches of
the law.
Twice during the past few days
has this potent effect been mani
Tested. The latest experience was
that of Willie Witt, colored.
Willie took drink last night of
something he thought was lice
water" and lay down to pleasant
dreams on the front porch Of
Policeman McAllister of the third
precinct. When McAllister ho
hummed his way out of the house
this morning he shifted trouble
in the morning breeze and found il
right under his nose in the person
of Willie.
In Police Court today Willie
was fined $40 or ten days in Jail,
but the court took his personal
bond and released him.
Last week there was a similar
case where a drunken man spent
the night on the porch of a police
officer.

Respect the Other Mans
Opinion

Il seem to get in bad all the
time" said n young executive in
business organization to his
pastor not long ago: what is
wrong with me? Things move
along smoothly for a time and
then l hit the rocks"
The pastor warned the young
man he would have to be frank,
but frankneSs was invited.
You have too good an Opin-
ion Of your own Judgment" be-
gan the wise counsellor. The
inquirer was told that he had
good judgment, but that others
also had good opinions on mat
tiers on which both were equally
competent to advise, The young
man in his church work, and in
his business life, was insisting
that unless his ideas were adopt
cd he would not play the game.
He became sulky and not inter
Csted. He insisted that his ideas
be adopted and seemed eager to
fight for them when the matter
at stake was trivial.
The greatest foe to the adj
vancemcnt Of the executive was
himself.
How will the church help such
a man to be a better execu-
tive? The church teaches men
to look at things from the other
fellows standpoint. 1t teaches
them to be generous of the opin-
ions Of others, TO work ms a
team and not as individuals.
Go to church tomorrow and
start the habit Of looking with
more resnect on the opinions Of
others. Stick by the church. It
will help you often. 1t needs
you.
whatsoever yc 7vOuld that
men 70Onld do to YOU, do We
cveu so TO Hcm."
