the members might attend the joint
conference of the Senate and House
District committee members on the
proposed traffic legislation.
Representative Kellar said that the
House committee expected to hold a
joint meeting of the welfare legis-

that was agreeable to the Senate COM
mittee.
Senator Ball, who is chairman of
the Senate committee, however, said
later that such a joint conference is
not necessary, as every one with whom
he has talked is of one mind in re-
gard to the welfare bill and anxious to
see it enacted as soon as possible.
There is no use of further committee
discussion, he said, but he agreed
to ask the advice of his entire COM

Representative Kellar expects that
the welfare legislation may be con-

POSTAL INVENTOR
| RECEIVES REWARD
BerWyn Man Given ST, 600
for PrecanceIing Stamp
Machine.

The Post Office Department, through
Postmaster General New, today
awarded $1,000 to Richard Broaden OF
Berwyn, Md, assistant superintendent OF
the division of stamps, for the de-
Velopment of precanceling stamp
machine, estimated to be the means OF
saving more than S250,000 annually.
The $1,000 award is the maximum
permitted by law and is the highest
yet to be paid for inventions of labor
and money saving devices.
Broaden developed his device, which
is used as an attachment to rotary
presses. with the assistance of Blair
Mckenzie, machinist in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, who built
the device itself. The committee on
experiment, research and design, placed
itself on record as acknowledging the
assistance rendered by Mckenzie, but
stated that the law prevents the Post
Office Department from giving him
an award.
Credit to Mckenzie.
The assistance Of Mckenzie also was
acknowledged by Broaden in his re-
port to the committee, in which he
said:
"In sumbitting this report on the
mechanical appliance, based on the
suggestion made by me, full credit
should be given to Mr.. Mckenzie, the
chief mechanic of the rotary press
room, not only for his cooperation,
but for his untiring effort in building
and perfecting this machine"
Although not authorized for use IN
til April Il, 1928. the precanceling
method was applied to 1,043,623,100
stamps in sheets and coils during the
fiscal year 1924, with an estimated
saving to the department of $50 2,1S1.15
With the equipment which has al
ready been ordered the precanCella-
tions of all denominations of stamps
used by large offices will result in an
estimated annual saving of S250.000.
1t is on the basis of this large saw
ing that the committee felt justified
in recommending the maximum
award.
Another christmas" award was
made to L. j. Gross, toolmaker, mail
equipment shops, of SIS for the de-
sign and development of an improv-
ment to the year type on canceling
machines which will permit the
changing each year OF two figures in
the die at an approximate cost of rs
cents each, instead of the purchase of
a new plate at S5. The saving of
S4.25 on each OF S36 canceling ma
chimes is estimated to produce a total
annual saving of $3,553. Mr.. Gross
