JUNE BUSINESS SHOWS

New Schedule Fails, However, to

Expected.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A deficit of approximately $40 900. 600
for postal operations for the fiscal
year of 1925 was estimated today by
Postmaster General New.
The deficit was attributed by the
Postmaster General to the increa sed
pay of postal employees and the change
In postage rates.
In announcing total postal receipts
of $2.S32 $50 for June at so industrial
city post Offices he said:
The receipts of the so selected post
offices for June show an increase of
14.72 per cent over June, 1924, and
those of so industrial cities, with 16.45
per cent, show even a better average.
There are two most gratifying cir
cumstances in connection with these
figures, the first of which is the fact
that every one of the larger cities
shows an increase, and the same is
true of all but one of the so industrial
cities. The months business is there
fore quite satisfactory from the stand
point of the post Office.
"Of course, any estimate based on
these figures as to how nearly the
postal receipts will balance expendi-
lures for the current year Is the
merest guess. But the figures quoted
would indicate a deficit of something
like $40, 100000. which is due, of
course, to legislation passed by the
last Congress affecting both pay and
rates"

Considerable opposition to the re
Gently increased rates has been voiced
by business ganizations and large
mail users, who have declared they
have curtailed postal revenues.
From the two and one-half months
operation, of the new rates postal
officials have found it almost impos-
sible TO determine just what effect
they have had toward inerea sing the
revenues. Experts calculated they
would produce about $4,000, 900 in
additional funds, but the officials now
say Indications are they are not pro-
ducing anything near that amount.
Total revenues for the fiscal year of
1925 are expected to approximate
$s0oD00, 900, compared with $572,o
900 for 1924 Expenditures totaled
S597 poo, 900 for 1924 and the deficit
was I$24 400, 900.
Estimates of expenditures for 1925

not smaller than last year. In ad-

there was added about S34 ,000, 900 by

Prosecution Of Those Dis
obeying Law to Start on
August |.

Hundreds of motorists whose cars
are equipped with headlight lenses not
on the approved list in the new traffic
code will have to get approved equip
ment by August l, Traffc Director
Eldridge reminded today.
Mr.. Eldridge called attention to the
matter today so that motor car own.
ers would not forget the requirement
until the period of grace for the un.
approved lenses expires.
The traffic director said that while
he had no way of ascertaining how
many drivers have unapproved lenses
he estimated that 20 per cent of the
cars would have to get new headlight
equipment.
The new code went into effect MAY
3, but Mr.. Eldridge said the time for
buying approved lenses was extended
to August l in order 10 avoid working
hardship on owners of cars with un
approved lenses.
Motorists will find a complete list
of the approved types of lenses in the
back of the traffic regulations, and all
OF them are on the list adopted by
the conference OF motor vehicle of
ficials of the Eastern States.
In this connection, Mr.. Eldridge
also announced today that Inspector
Brown of the Traffic Bureau. is ar
. ranging to nave all OF the traffic pO-
licemen given a brief course of in
struction in headlight regulations by
Maj. r. E. Carlson OF the Bureau OF
Standards.
The plan is, Director Eldridge said
to have Maj. Carlson take the traffic
officers in groups of 10 and explain to
them the principles of proper head
light adjustment.
Mr.. Eldridge said that while he still
gets complaints from persons who say
they are bothered by bright head
lights, he believes the headlight
situation has been greatly improved
recently. He again urged drivers tc
make sure their headlamps are
properly adjusted so as not to be
binding
Mr.. Eldridge said he drove through
Baltimore recently and observed more
glaring lights than he has found ir
Washington. The headlights, Mr.
Eldridge continued, should be adjust
ed down on the road and not gauget
so that they light up the trees anc
the buildings.
IF a motorist has not obtained ap
proved lenses by August / he haG
better leave his car in until he gets
them" Mr.. Eldridge said.
