Looking at his beautifully cut morning coat,
Emil answered:
"Oh, came out all right"

.POSTOFFICE TO SEEK
NEW U. S. AIR MAIL
Extensive Advertising Drive
Will Be Launched.
BY KENNETH WATSON
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 9.-With
commercial operations restored on
four routes and a program perfected
for rapid expansion of the air mail
map on a larger scale than ever
before, postoff1ce officials today an
nounced plans for a big advertiS
ing drive to popularize the air mail
Government artists are now at
work preparing striking posters
which will be placed in all post
offices and distributed among
chambers of commerce and business
houses in every section as soon as
all the routes are in operation"
said Harlee Branch, second assistant
postmaster-gener
He predicted that before the end
of June a total of thirty-one routes
will be in operation. The new
system, serving four states and six
teen cities never before on the air
mail map, will cover approximately
28.548 miles. or about $500 more
than when contracts were Cancelled
Feb. 9.
The posters will stress the extent
of the new system and probably new
low rates. Present air mail postage
is 8 cents for the first ounce. but
the postoffice has told both the SEN
ate and house postal committees
that the scent rate in the latter's
bill will be acceptable. AS result,
it is expected that the scent rate
will be agreed upon, although the
senate bill calls for cents. BY such
a cut the postOffice hopes to in
crease air mail revenue by about
81 100000 annually.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-New
Federal Trade Commission revela-
tons of the underground political
activity of public utilities found
congressional reaction today in
strong support for the Johnson bill
which limits court fights in rate
cases.
House sentiment today appeared
to favor the Johnson measure which
has passed the senate. A weaker
substitute proposed by the house
judiciary committee seemed headed
for defeat.
The latest trade commission util-
it. report came as the house was
in the midst of debate on the john
son bill which prevents utilities
from taking fights on rate decisions
into the federal courts.
Testimony that two executives of
utilities affiliated with the North
American Light and Power Com
pany, Chicago, attempted to bride
city bloomington. lid councilman
to defeat a municipal power cleo
ton, was the latest trade commits
sion finding.
Frank Donovan, Bloomington
councilman, made the charge in the
commissions investigation of pub
licity and propaganda policies Of
the North American system. He said
the attempted bribery occurred just
prior to an election April l, 1880,
when the municipal issue was sue
ceSSful.

days Marion county primary is
far from complete, several sure
fire and and other probable win
ners appeared today in the county
lineup.
Representative Louis Ludlow
was handed his fourth Democratic
nomination to congress on sill
yer platter by his party He was
unoppoSed for congressional re-
nomination.
Votes for Harry o. Chamberlin
and Delbert o. Wilmeth, Repub-
licans, for the Twelfth district
congressional nomination see
sawed during the early hours of
counting.
Wilmeth showed strength in the
first few precincts, but Chamber
lin had forged ahead later. Re
publican bosses said they believed
Wilmeth would be the winner due
to the late start in Chamberlin's
campaign, although the latter's
public office record stood him in
good stead at the polls.
A Democratic trio which did
not have to fight for nomination
was composed of Judges Frank P.
Baker, William A. Pickens and
Joseph R. Williams. Baker retains
the nomination in criminal court.
Pickens in superior court three,
and Williams in superior court
two.
Glenn B. Ralston, county clerk,
was unopposed on the Democratic
ticket.

uty prosecutor, took the lead early
