ASKS EXEMPTIONS
FOR POSTAL AUTOS
New Declares Efficiency of
Mail Delivery Would Suffer
if Regulations Obeyed.

Repeal of certain provisions in the
gasoline tax bill are asked by Post
master General New in a letter re-
ceived today by Chairman Reed Of the
House District committee. The pro-
visions in question require postal cars
to carry District of Columbia tags
and be subject to all regulations. The
Postmaster General says: This is a
serious embarrassment to the depart
ment and the community and would
perhaps entail extensive litigation to
determine the right of the Post Office
Department to be free of unreason-
able interference in the performa ance
of the public service with the proper
efficiency and economical conduct of
which it is entrusted.
The Postmaster General questions
the expediency of placing such broad
powers in the Police Department of
the District. IF as provided in the
law quoted" he said, that drivers of
postal vehicles are to be subject to
the regulations applicable to private
individuals, 1t will readily be seen
that our methods In this city will
have to be greatly revised in such a
manner as to let the service fall be-
low the standard obtained in other
municipalities"

Cites Drivers Arrest.

The Postmaster General cites the
arrest Of Arthur B. White for letting
his motor run while collecting mail
in the Woodward Building, Fifteenth
and H streets, in February, 1924. This
case is still pending in the Court of
Appeals. He said that the driver
acted "in strict accordance with in
structions of this department and in
accordance with the practice followed
for many years throughout the oun-
try and likewise in the District of
Columbia"
Sufficient funds are not appropriated
the Postmaster General compains. to
provide motor vehicles with self
starters or to employ additional en-
ployes, (which would be necessary If
collectors were required to crank
their vehicles after each stop"
If the law is valid, he says, drivers
of postal trucks are subject to arrest,
If they should park their cars side by
side in an attempt to tap letter box
or deliver parcel post packages while
another car is at the curb.

How About Milk Inspection?

When the regular bill of the milk

Richard raised the question of con-
tinuing to pay about S25 a month
when the work of the Inspector
brought no results Mr.. Richard
FASTENED to explain that he had no
fault to find with the inspector or
his work His grievance was due to
the utter lack of legal authority to
take any action against milk dealers
whose milk was not up TO standard as
shown by the milk inspector. The city
being shorn of such authority. should
devise some means &c correcting the
situation or eliminate the milk in
spector and therefore the regular

As Students Sleep,
Mercer Utopia Plan

MACON, Ca, Dec 20.-College
students may sleep soundly in their
own beds and receive more knowl-
edge than ever they received in class.
Professors, reclining at east in their
rooms, may lecture to their pupils.
Inattention in class may be en-
tirely eliminated, and after a good
nights sleep students would awake
refreshed and wiser than ever be-
fore.
This is the educational Utopia
which Mercer university may be-
come in the future, according to the
Cluster, student publication. The
idea is based on recent success in
the United States navy in teaching
sailors the wireless code while they
sleep.
Students were sent to bed as usu-
al, bur they. wore a pair of radio
phones on their heads instead of a
nightcap. After they were asleep
the instructor repeated the wireless
code symbols and their meaning over
and over. The subconsciOus minds
of the students took in the lessons
and when they awoke they knew the
lessons perfectly.
las for the teaching of students
while they sleep, this has been done,
the Cluster says. IF code signals
can be learned, Latin and other sub
jects can DE learned in the same
manner Mercer is brOadcasting
courses from her radio station at
the present time. All that remains
to be done is to link the two methods
