I'LL VET DRAWS
PORTRM

Riding a hobby to draw portraits
but never having taken {. single
drawing lesson, Albert Levin, 1000
e st. N. W., has presented to
President Coolidge a portrait of the
Executive.
Levin's hobby is drawing pictures
of important people. In 1924 he
presented a portrait of President
and Mrs. Coolidge to the First
Lady. Among personages whom he
has drawn and presented portraits
to, he says, are Gen. Frank T.
Hines. director of the Veterans Blu
reau. and Senator Royal s. Cope
land, of New York.
Levin has just completed por-
trait Of Lindbergh which, he says,
he doesn't know what to do with.
He has permanent total disability
resulting from his service during
the World War with the S0Sth Field
Artillery. and is suffering from
epilepsy and shell shock.

DEMAND VOTE

Congressional ''wets' demanded
today that the people be given the
right to initiate constitutions
changes as a means OF repeating
the eighteenth amendment.
Representative Dyer (R) OF
Missouri, acting chairman OF the
House judiciary committee. proposed
constitutional amendment which
would govern future amendments.
On D, .ition of 100000 voters the
Secretary of Stateawould be directed
to submit constitutional amendments
at the next congressional election
On petition of 100000 voters he
would be required to arrange
special election.
1.-THE purpose Of the resolution Is
to give the people a chance to say
whether they want prohibition, ;"
said Dyer. "They never had
chance to vote on 1t or the Vol
stead act-it was put over on
them.
1.-THE State legislatures. which
now must ratify constitutional
amendments, don't represent the
sentiment Of the people on a
question of this kind. The only
way to get a full and free express
sion is to have direct vote"

Now, if Copeland wore an aver
age grade of shoes and got the
wear that the Fordinary individual
will get in such goods, he would
have worn out not less than three
pairs yearly, (which, with the aver
age cost of six dollars per pair,
would have meant an investment
in shoes of not less than $306 for
the II years he carried mail That
would have been possible jonly by
the re-soling some of the shoes, it
is believed, as he probably would
not have gotten an average of four
months steady wear on the aver
age.
There Isl another interesting angle
to the services of Mail Carrier
Copeland. In all mail service there
is more or less romance being pro-
NOTED, not of course, by the car
rier himself, but by the billet doux
that he hands out. If he was bear
ing the arrows of Cupid only in a
minimum percentage, then it. might
be estimated that he probably car
ried letters of that character at
least to the extent of 10 per cent
and on that basis, 325,00O, which
ought to have been sufficient argu-
ment to have resulted in several
cases of matrimony in Copeland's

COPEL AND CARRIED | LETTERS
ENVELOPES OF WHICH WOULD
COVER FIVE SQUARE MILES

When Benjamin F.. Copeland, re-
tired because of the age limit, and
laid down his mail sack at the
Feb z, it was announced by the
postal officials that he had handled,
during his career, enough mail if all
first class to require postage stamps
worth not less than $65,000. That
meant that The had handled, if it
was all in first-class mail of two
cent value, 3,25O,OOO letters,
There is an example lin Cope
lands story of how little thing
builds big results. There is, in the
average business envelope, 22.75
square inches. If he did, as is has
been estimated, handle 3,250,000
letters, then the white paper re-
quired to make those envelopes
would have covered space approx
imately equal to- 340O square acres,
or, in the terms of the ranches in
the grazing territory, just little
more than five full sections of
land. Five full sections of land
would be represented by a tract
two miles square with an additional
square mile on the side for good
measure.
The average bunch of business
envelopes at a retail store sells at
about 10 cents for two dozen and
the 3,250,000 envelopes on the re-
tail basis would have brought over
the counter to the retail dealer a
price of $13,5416O. So that the
commercial value Of the mail, add
ing. the value of the envelopes to
the value of the stamps, would
have made it somewhat in excess
Of $7S,500.
The distance, as given out by the
authorities, that Copeland had walk
ed was set at $4,000 miles. Walk
ing on the average of four miles an
hour by the day, of eight hours,
one would walk 80 miles, and to
make the distance equal to that
Copeland had traveled, it would
take, 1858 days, or 4.62 years. to
walk it. OF course, Copeland S
duty did not require that he walk
the full eight hours at four miles
an hour and so he put in several
years instead of the 4.62 in which
he might have stepped it off at the
rate indicated. He served II years

A GREAT ADVANCE

A remarkable agricultural devel-

west coast of Mexico, particularly

ten years, according to a statement
