POSTAL Chief
SHIFTS STATE
AIR Mail ROUTE
Evansville Chicago Trip Is
Dropped; Louisville and
indianapolis Linked.
BY WALKER STONE
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Effec-
tive today, Evansville loses to IN
dianapolis its status as the princi-
pal Indiana city on a north-south
air mail route.
And Evansville becomes the lead
ing Indiana city on a new easU-
west route.
Postmaster General Walter Brown
in defiance of the express wishes Of
the house committee on postoffices
and post-roads, announced discon-
tinuance today of the daily round
trip service between Chicago and
Evansville, and added a daily round
trip service between Indianapolis
and Louisville.
He also announced the addition
of daily roUnd-trip service be-
tween Evansville and St. Louis.
Calls Service Improved
1T is believed" said the Post
master General, in a communica-
ton to the house committee, that
the extension from Indianapolis to
Louisville will improve the service
to and from indianapolis and the
south, and will make possible the
discontinuance of the longer line
between Evansville and Chicago
and that the extension from Louis
vile to Evansville will provide serv-
ice between Cincinnati, Louisville,
st. Louis and Kansas City"
When the Postmaster Generals
announcement was received, the
house committee adopted a resolu-
ton asking that he refrain from
making the proposed airmail
changes.
cit looks like Mr.. Brown is try
ing to hamstring the incoming
Democratic administration, ant
prevent congress from effecting
needed economies in the airmai
service" said Representative Jane;
M. Mead Dem, N. ", chairman
of the committee.

MILITARY CUSTODIAN
FOR SCHOOLS NAMED
VIII II. Brown Takes Over Post Left
Vacant by McCrca Death.


Position of city schools military
property custodian today was as
sumed by Will H. Brown, whose ap-
pointment was confirmed by the
school board Tuesday night.
Brown, who succeeds Captain F.
F. McCrea, who died several days
ago, has had extensive experience in
the automotive industry, and served
as a lieutenant colonel in the motor
transport division during the World
war
Before the war he was an auto
mobile designer and has been con-
nected with the Marmon Motor Car
Company and the WHY'S Motor Car
Company.
Resolution for a 100000 temper
airy loan was passed by the board.

money. The first thing they dis
covered was that the heather In
dian had no regard whatever for
English sterling.
The Indians had a money of
their own, called wampumeag,
made from sea shells. The In
dian also had a variety of things
the Puritans wanted to buy, es-
pecially furs which could be
shipped back to England and sold.
So the Puritans were forced to
go on a Wampum basis.
The Indians would sell a fur
worth five shillings for one belt
of Wampum, or $50 beads. That
made six white beads or three
black beads equal to one pence.
The settlers passed law max
ing wampum legal tender among
themselves up to twelve pence
that is, for small change.
NOV, though they had brought
IN an abundance of money with
them, the white settlers soon be-
gan to complain that there was
not sufficient in circulation. There
was nothing to do but create a
barter money.
Another law was enacted max
ing corn and beaver legal tender,
to which some other commodities
were later added.
They did this, as William Ora
ham Sumner explains in his
History of American Currency,
"ostensibly because there was not
enough money, but really because
they wanted to spare the worlds
currency to purchase real capital"
That is, they had to send their
real money, including the pistoles
they began to earn in trade with
the Spanish colonies, back to
England to buy furniture, cloth
ing, powder, guns, and Whatnot.
If a boom constitutes prosper
ity, the settlers now suddenly got
prosperous. The moment COWS,
corn, beaver, ETC., were made legal
tender the value of money start
ed going down and prices started
going up.
If taxes or a debt could be. paid
with a COW, each settler naturally
picked out the leanest, driest, least
valuable COW in his herd, which
Immediately lowered the value of
his good COWS to the value of the
poor one.
Again, if either COW or a fixed
number of bushels of corn could
be used as money, each settler
paid whichever was least valuable
at the time Of payment. In a
year when there was overproduc-
ton Of corn, which made each
bushel less valuable in terms of
real money, the settlers used corn.
This Immediately reduced the
more valuable COW to the value
of the corn. AS Summer puts it,
prices rose to fit the worst form
of payment the seller might ex-
pect."
n II
DY 1910, ten years after the
I'D colony was founded, prices
had risen so much that In
dian wampum had to be re-
VALIDATED. A law was enacted
making four white or two black
beads equal to one pence. Here
was comedy to make the gods
laugh. The vaunted money of the
Europeans had deprecated in
terms of shell beads made by
SaVages.
In ten years the Indian wam-
pun had increased 80 1-3 per cent
in value. And remember what
constituted legal money among
these wise Europeans who had
come to the wilderness-the corn
and COWS which they had
garnered by sweat of their brows
and which they needed for their

However, the resolution adopted
by the committee is without force.
Under the Waters air mail act the
acknowledgement has authority
to make such changes as he an
nounced, without approval Of cen
gress, and without even asking for
competitive bids on the new
routes.
The route revision order also
calls for discontinuance of the

Looking Over Latonia
BY o. REVILLA-

T ATONIA, KY, July 10.-One of
A. the best finishes seen at this
mans race track this year was in
the feature event Saturday when
Eddie Arcarro, fresh out of the hos
pital after a Chicago spill, slashed
Clarence Davidson's No More to a
driving nose finish over r. Mont
gomery on Marooned. 1t was a
tough break for the Lemar farm,
as Montgomery lost the race in the
final sixteenth by looking back over
his shoulder while he had two
length advantage. If he had paid
attention to his business and ridden
Marooned out, he probably would
have received the decision, which
was mere whisker.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The National
Professional Football League today
looked forward to its most success
full season since its formation in
1920 after last week-end's annual
meeting.
The most important things accom-
pliShed at the two-day meeting were
the alteration of the method of de-
termining the championship, and
the admission of three new teams,
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia. Staten Island was given
permission to withdraw for one year,
leaving ten teams for 1888.
A plan similar to the one used by
the National Hockey League will be
employed by the National Football
League. The league will be divided
into two divisions, east and west,
with a playoff between the two win
ners for the title.
