Postal Receipts Now At
The Level Of April, 1880

"The postal receipts have long been
looked upon as a barometer of bust
ness throughout the country" said
Postmaster James A. Farley at the
dedication of the new post Office in
Philadelphia last week. 81 found to
my surprise shortly after taking
office" he continued, chat while
they were a good barometer, they
were some months late in register
ing rise and fall of business. We
have corrected that. Now we know
on the 7th of each month the receipts
and expenditures for the previous
month.
"The improved system enables me
to tell you that for the first ten
months of this fiscal year there has
been a gain in postal receipts of
1913 per cent over last year in
the smaller offices and 6 per cent in
the larger offices. April, 1885, rec
ords the best postal increase since
April, 1880, gain over April, 1884
of Is per cent or 100000, and
81 ,OO0,00O less than in April, 1880.
"In the actual business of handling
and delivering the peoples mail our
income is greater than our expen-
ditures, a state of affairs that the
country has not witnessed since the
administration of Woodrow Wilson.
And we have sacrificed no essential
service in effecting this saving"

OCEAN AIRLINE
SEENCERTAIN

Creation of a transatlantic air
passenger and mail line, with pre-
liminary flights next summer, ap-
peared a virtual certainty yester-
day after conferences of British
and American officials.
Besides British and American
interests, Dutch and German and
French companies are seeking the
right to develop the final air link
between the Old and the New
World. it was learned.
English. Irish and Canadian
officials met with Secretary Of
State Hull today in the first of a
series of conferences. There was
general agreement that pioneer
flights, and the success of the
new Far East route. demonstrate
feasibility of the route.
Eugene Vidal director of air
commerce of the Commerce De
partment, explained:
"The whole thing Is a recipro-
cal proposition and that is what
we discussed. We didn't talk over
routes"
American delegates advised the
conference that this Administra-
ton is prepared to seek funds
from Congress for experimental
work next year, and to grant air
mail contracts when the service
proves satisfactory.
Efforts of this country to gain
sole control of the line are headed
for trouble, it appeared, because
of desires of European countries
which will control eastern ter.
minalS.
Thus the whole project hinges
on reciprocal agreements. Those
present at the initial meeting gen.
orally expressed confidence these
can be worked out.

GUIDE BOOK

American Guide Book" the
boondoggling successor Of the
works of Karl Baedeker, Nine
teenth century historian who
popularized travelling through
publication of portable books for
the use Of bewildered tourists, will
be sold to the public at about
SIPS a volume, it was revealed at
headquarters of the Works Prog
ress Administrator today.
The American version Of the
Baedeker system is being prepared
by employees in the writer's prof.
ect of the WPA, who are collecting
information on every conceivable
aspect of the American scene,
from local legends to the height
of the Empire State Building in
New York city.
1,OOO-Page Volumes
Approximately 1000 men and
women-for the most part unem-
ployed writer's who have been
taken from relief rollS-are at
work on the new guide book. The
project comes to a close next June,
before which time an additional
1000 workers will have been added
to the pay rolls.
The guide book" is a mis-
norner, officials now believe. They
regret they did not follow original
suggestions ana call the work "A
Comprehensive History of the
United States" They predict that
the five-volume product will be
the first work of it's kind published
in this country since 1907.
The Government Printing Of
flee will publish the work, which
will be ready for distribution
about a year hence. 1t is calcu'
lated that the cost of each vol
une will be about $1.25. The Gov
ernment, officials said today, will
sell the book to the public at cost.
Each volume will contain about
1000 pages and be printed on Ok
ford India paper.
Everything Covered
Collection of the information
to be contained in the five
volume set of historical lore
ultimately will cost the taxpay'
ers about $2,500,000, it is esti.
mated here. This sum is over
and above the cost of the print
ing, which, it is hoped, will pay
for itself.
Funds for the writer's project
are being supplied from an allo-
cation of $27,000,000 made by
the WPA for a social uplift
movement throughout the coun-
try. Most of the arts and
sciences, including dancing, paint
ing, music and the drama, are
covered by the program.

One Man Killed At Los Angeles
While Attempting To Rescue
Stalled Motorists

LOS ANGELES, April 8. U,P) -
A rain storm that took one life,
flooded streets, filled flood chan
nels and caused grave concern
among lowland dwellers, subsidized
today.
Fire Captain Fred w. Toenjes of
Palms was swept to his death while
attempting to rescue four motor
lists stalled near a bridge in West
Los Angeles. A garage, carried into
the swollen. flood channel, struck
him from behind and knocked him
unconscious. His body was recov-
cred several hours later more than
a mile down the channel.
The storm, starting yesterday
forenoon with a light drizzle, broke
precipitation records of more than
20 years standing. The rain in
creased to a torrent after midnight
and in some sections more than an
inch fell within an hour.
Three traffic fatalities were at
tributed to the storm. Five other
persons were injured so seriously
they may die.
Hundreds of automobiles were
abandoned in low districts which
were converted into virtual lakes.
Watts was reported almost iso-
lated by water.
In the La Crescenta- -Montrose
district, scene of catastrophe
flood New Years day, 1884, Sher-
iff's deputies maintained an all
night vigil. Waters poured in flood
volume from the Sierra Madre
mountains but debris basins and
flood channels were carrying off
the flow successfully.
Residents were ordered to remain
in their homes when spillways on
the big Tujunga dam were opened
to relieve pressure on the filled res
ervoir. The carry-off through flood
control channels was reported as
satisfactory.
Considerable property damage
was reported in Los Angeles where
the overflow from streets crept into
store buildings. For blocks the wa
ter filled streets from curb to curb
and in many sections overflowed
onto sidewalks.
Long Beach, scene Of an earlier
spring flood, escaped similar cri-
sis today. Drainage systems were
adequate to carry off the surface
waters.
At daybreak, the normally dry
Los Angeles river was running
bankfull.
Despite clearing skies at $3.50 a.
m. the weather forecast was for
additional rain today and tonight
with clearing weather tomorrow.

Farm bureau directors rejected
the proposal that Harry w. Horton,
attorney for the irrigation district,
be asked to devote his entire time
to the affairs of the district by
adopting the report of the majority
members of the committee appoint
ed to investigate the matter.
This committee was appointed at
the last meeting to investigate the
proposal that Horton be asked to
give up his private practice and the
report states that upon investiga
ton they find that Horton has been
actively in sympathy with the wish
es of the irrigation district board
of directors in furthering the best
interests of the district and county
and that the conduct of his private
practice has not in any material
way interfered with his conduct of
the affairs of the district. For

BITTER FIGHT
ON GAG RULE

WASHINGTON, april tUP) -
House leaders decided today to ask
President Roosevelt to intervene
and help settle the fight now dis
organizing house party ranks over
the question of gag rule for con-
sideration of the economic security
bill
Democratic members of the ways
and means committee planned to
confer with the President tomor-
row. If he gives unqualified ap-
proval to the security bill, as dras-
tically redrafted by the committee,
a gag rule to protect the measure
will probably be sought.
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns said,
however, that the President would
not be asked to take a stand on the
gag rule issue itself. "The ques-
ton of rules is for the house to de-
eide" said Byrns.
However, if the President accepts
the bill in its present form an ef-
ort will probably be made to bind
VIC DtlilOCI dIiC illdJOAlOy w ouPPOl
the President and pass the bill las
is"
House consideration of the bill
has been put off for several days
due to the gag rule fight. The rules
committee postponed a hearing on
a rule today and the ways and
means committee Democrats delay
ed a final vote on whether to ask
q gag pending a White House con-
ference.
Telegraph offices have been
swamped for "a hours with tele-
grams, mostly from the west coast,
asking house members to vote
against a gag. Most of the tele-
grams were from Townsend old age
pension plan supporters anxious
to have a house vote forced on the
radical 5000 month proposal >
