esque United States Senator from

tinued to investigate her death
from scalds which for a time they
believed had given them murder

ONLY 4 NEW TEACHERS
FOR HIGHER D. C. SCHOOLS

Four additional teachers were ap-
pointed to positions in the senior
high schools this year, whereas it
has been customary to add 40 or
so additional teachers in the high
er schools, according to Assistant
Superintendent Stephen E. Kramer
The smaller number of resigna-
tions, due largely to the more sat
isfactory salaries now paid by the
District school system, is said to
account for the greater stability of
the teaching staff.

DISABLED AIDED
BY VETERANS
BUREAU
Report Shows a New Attitude
of Usefulness Toward
Ex-SerVice Men
By j. l.. MEDDOFF
International News Service

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 21.-The
United States Veterans Bureau has
made notable progress during the
last year in caring for disabled
world war veterans and their de-
pendents according to the annual
report of the national rehabilitation
committee Of the American Legion.
The report, made public in part
today, will be submitted to the
Legion's national convention at
Omaha, Neb., early next month.
1t lists numerous improvements in
bureau work for the year, includ-
ing decentralization of the Vet
Grams Bureau, creation of a guard
ianship service and diagnostic
centers, working out Of new
rating schedule, a reveiw of all
old claims and a new attitude of
helpfulness, toward the former
service man.
Appeals Reduced
by decentralizing the bureau,
action now is taken on claims and
ratings in the field, in contact with
the claimant. instead Of at Wash
ington," the committees report
states. This has very materially
reduced the number of appeals, So
that only a normal lead of 9il
cases were pending in the central
office on June 80, compared with
1000 a year ago.
1.-The guardianship service was
created in May. to protect the in
terests of mentally incompetent
veterans, aged and incompetent
parents and widows and minor
children, many of them orphans.
This action was taken following
disclosures that number Of
guardians were misappIying funds.
There are $1,000 bureau benefici
aries under guardianship.
1.-TWO diagnostic centers have
been established, where battling
cases which have defied diagnosis
are sent for observation by special
lists and for prescription of proper
treatment. A third at or near San
Francisco is being considered.
"A new rating schedule has been
evolved and will soon be in opera
ton. This schedule, which will
take into account a veterans pre-
war occupation in rating his claim,
Is a great constructive task inVOlV-
ing much pioneer work"

HARDING STAMP
IS PROVING
POPULAR
Engraving Bureau Kept Busy
Printing Issues Under
New Law

The President Harding Ia cent
stamp and the Nathan Hale ~ cent
stamp, brought into being by the
new postal law. have become so
popular that printing of the penny
stamp by the Government has been
ordered stopped. it was announced
today by officials at the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing.
In addition, the cessation of print
ing the one-cent stamp. none OF
which have been produced since last
March, has almost doubled the pro-
duction of the 2-cent stamps. brought
about by the new postal regulations
requiring this form of Government
stamp on all post cards.
AS a result the stamp division Of
the Bureau OF Engraving and Print
ing is now hitting on "all six" In
preparing for the Christmas rush.
when billions of stamps are pur
chased for the mailing Of Christmas
packages.
At present the output Of the
stamp division. under the direction
of Superintendent John s. Smith. is
approximately $4,000. 900 stamps,
ranging from the Y cent ones to TO-
cent ones, each day. OF this
amount 100000 are turned out by
the rotary process which vets the
blank paper, prints, drys and gums
the stamps, practically turning out
the finished product, while under
the method approximately 43 900 900
stamps are turned out daily.
The bureau is also manufacturing
a daily average OF $50 900 books
containing twelve and twenty-four
2-cent stamps. In addition, there
is combination book Of twelve e
cent stamps and twelve 1-cent
stamps, the latter being the last
of the supply already printed.
The largest single order received
by the bureau from the Postoffioe
Department for any one day during
the past year was for 10000, 900
stamps. According to bureau OF
ficiais, there are four heavy periods
during the year. These occur in
January, when the depleted holiday
stock is replenished; in April, when
a large stock is printed in prepare
ton for summer vacationists: in
July, when this stock is replenished,
and in October, when preparations
are made for the holiday demand.
The daily output of postage
stamps, If laid end to end, would
make a strip approximately 915
miles long, and al years output
would reach eleven times around
the earth.
The stamps produced in q year
would make a patchwork OF over
twenty colors. large enough to
spread over twenty-seven 100-acre
farms. If the stamps printed in
one year were distributed equally,
each man, woman and child in the
United States would receive 10
stamps. The cost of printing, etc,
is estimated at cent for each 100
stamps.
The estimated six weeks reserve
stock of stamps at the bureau
ranges from one billion 2-cent
stamps to $4,000 SIS stamps.

This statement from the home

it has even been intimated that the

Sir William has steadfastly main
