But fate decreed otherwise, and
when the Lehigh boys line up

Among the ysaddest Of the local

University Of Maryland, who, along
with Prior, formed the greatest pair

Both boys, in their early sandlot

Prior abandoned his running ard

McGovern was actually favorite

The Senate has before it for con-

law, will call for the expenditure O.:
around sixty eight millions for in
creases in the salaries of employees
of the postal service. This amount
was provided Cor in the measure
vetoed by the President at the pre-
vious session. but the present meas
ure also calls for an increase in rates
of postage amounting to sixty mil
lions, this to be effective from April
10, 1925, TO Feb. IS, 1926, a congress
sional committee meantime to con-
duct hearings respecting the rate in
creases. 1t looks like the postal
employees must have more pay, also
that the money with which to paw
them must come from some source,
and there isn't any likelihood of its
coming from postage On thousands
of tons of mail matter which now is
handled free. Neither will revenue
come from business which pro-
hibitory postage may crowd out OF
the mails.
