TAO MILLION SEEN
AS POSTAL DEFICIT
Raising of Postal Rates
Urged by TiIton at
Texas Meeting.

BY the Associated Press.
LAREDO, Tex, May IA postal
deficit Of about $l40,0o0,o00 ut the
close Of the present fiscal year was
predicted today by Assistant PoStmas-
ter General Tilton in an address be-
fore the convention of Texas poStmas-
tiers.
Triton said this deficit would repre-
sent an increase Of more than $40,-
600 900 over the $98,000,000 loss for
the last financial year.
The constantly increasing deficit In
the postal receipts as compared with
the postal expenditures has been the
cause of grave concern" Titon told
the postmaSters."
Explaining that while part Of this
deficit should net be charged against
the Post Office Department because 1t
was due to the franking system, T1lton
pronounced the present total so enor-
nous as to defy adjustment for years
to come unless postal rates should be
raised.
FayOrs Increased Rates.
Neither Congress nor the public In
general. Tilton said. had approved
Postmaster General Browns proposal
of a 212-cent first-class postage rate,
but he contended this metnoo Cne
most simple and positive to over
come the deficit.
He also advocated a parcels post rate
adjustments which would increase the
revenue by approximately $500, 600
and an increase in size and weight OF
parcels accepted for mailing which
would bring in about $5,000,000 more.
These two measures will come up for
hearing before the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission during the latter
part of May, he said.
1T will be seen, therefore, nothing
has as yet actually been done to over
come the deficit by way of increased
postal rates" he asserted. asking the
poStmasterS to strive together to In
crease use of postal facilities" and lin
this way help increase postal revenue"
All Employees Retained.
Tilton held the general depression
but partially responsible for the deficit.
A complete return to normal business
conditions. he said, would not correct
the condition.
He assured the poStmaSters the de-
partment had no intention Of cutting
personnel as an economy measure.
During the year our revenues have
fallen $4,000, 900, but no classified en-
ploye has been dropped from the Serv-
ice on that account" he said.

Love Among the Million aires" Gives Clara Bow
 Chance to Sing

Clara Bow has discovered that love is just as exciting among the millionaires as it is with ordinary folk, and the Tt" personality is at it's finest in the sparkling, comedy-f full musical romance Love Among the Millionaires, show ing at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Amid the chatter of dishes and the blatant tones of a nickel-in- the-slot piano, Love Among the Millionaires" gets underway. Clara sings song, Believe It or Not I've Found My Man"
 Taken to Fairy Paradise
 That's where Stanley Smith comes in and transports the Red head to fairy paradise of the wealthy at Palm Beach. But even then, everything refuses to run smoothly.
 Stanley has father, Claude King, who thinks a son of the rich shouldn't marry a girl of the poor, and, likewise, Clara has father, Charles Sellon who declares no daughter of his will marry a wealthy man. While the old chaps get together, Clara and Stanley have a misunderstanding which almost breaks up the romance. Very Enjoyable Picture
 "Love Among the Millionaires' is an enjoyable picture. Besides Believe It or Not" Clara Bow sings That's Worth While Wait ing For" Love Among the Mill lionaires," and Karin to Coz Clara sings with her voice, her eyes, her red hair, her whole body.

Lowell Sherman Is Star and Director in Strong,
 Tense Drama

All the power, all the thrills of the dramatic stage, are incorpor- ated in Radio Pictures production ''The Pay-Off," which opens to- night at the Capitol Theatre.
 Lowell Sherman, who directed the production, and also plays a leading role, has achieved fine triumph.
 As the leader e band of thieves, who operate under the guise of dress-suits and gentle manly bearing, he handles a deli cate plot in such masterful manner that the production is in no sense an underworld" story.
 Of Old School
 It is of the old school, when en- tertainment and interest were the keynotes of productions, for it teaches no moral, it idealizes noth ing, it has no irony, except that which auditors assume in their own minds.
 It is a pure story!

 Sherman appears with an excel lent cast, including Marion Nixon Hugh Trevor, William Janney Helent Millarde, George Marion Walter McGrail, Robert McWade Alan Roscoe, Lita Chevret and Bert MoorehouSe.

HEALTH AND

Medical science progresses
not only by making new dis
coveries, but also by improving
old methods. The constant
and regular improvement in
the safety and comfort of
anesthesia for surgical and OBJ
stetric purposes is an example.
When ether anesthesia broke
on the wholly unexpectant
surgical world from the cupola-
domed room in the Massachu-
setts General Hospital nearly a
century ago, it seemed a magi-
cal advance.
Patient Got Drunk
Before that time only, a few
surgical maneuvers could be at.
tempted at all-amputation and
such vitally necessary opera
tions. The patient was made
as drunk as was safe with
brandy and then four or five
hospital orderlies held him
down while the grim necessity
was got through. Surgeons

a physician of the last genera
ton, describing his medical
student days, were pitted
against each other like runners
on time. He was the best
surgeon, both for patient and
onlooker, who broke the three.

For so years it was thought
no improvement could be made
over the administration of
straight ether. And yet that,
too, was an almost barbarous
spectacle. when I began CIV
ing ether in 1892" writes a
surgeon of our time, I'VE used
a cone made of newspaper and
a towel pinned together with
safety pins, one end of the cone
being closed and stuffed with
cotton, into which the ether

then jammed this cone over the
patients face, everyone lent a
hand in holding him down, and
he was practically Suffocated
into Inconsistencies"
Use of Nitrous Oxide
About Is years ago the use
of nitrous oxide as a prelimi-
nary to ether was begun.

name of our old dental friend,

as prolonged an anesthesia as

Anne started back as though
