(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 3. Some lively
joker in the Middle West has caused
the banks, the Treasury, the Secret
Service and a lot of other folk a heap
of trouble by spreading a story that
the government coined no nickels in
1910, and that every five-cent piece
in circulation bearing that date must,
therefore, bo a counterfeit. -
The facts are that the mints click

genuine, during 1910, and about $1,-
000,009 worth of those coins are in
circulation. For the fast two days

Washington, May 3. From infor

the twelfth United Stales census in

drawn that fecundity is much great

of foreign parentage than among the
native parentage; that it is usually
greater in the first generation of foreign-stock
than in the second, and
that it is, on the whole, greater in
rural districts than m cities. It. is
shown also that a high percentage of

Democrats feean to Pass Bill
For Establishment
I It W ill Vol Limit Service to Rural
Routes Home Members in favor
of Passing it at Present Session. :
' l By Associate! Prey.)
Washington, I). C, Mav 3 The
democrats of the house intend to pass
a parcels-post bill. '1 he proposed leg-
lslation will not limit the service to
rural routes.- This legislation was
, not a part of t.io original programme
laid out by the 'democrats tor t;ns
, session. It would be going rutaer
tar to tav that there is a final de
cision on the part of the democratic
leaders to undeetake the legislation
at this session,' but. they sav the
probability is that, -alter i;in other
items on the original -legislative pro-:
gramme, have been disposed or. a bill
tor a parcels-post will be passed.
1 hese leaders say t:iat : they have
Irom from the first had in mind the
prospect of a parcels-post bill, but
not until the regular session. How
ever, many of them are now convinc
ed that it will be' good business lor

the tanner has Canadian reciprocity
and the democratic lice list on his
mind.
'Speaker. Clark has said taat lie has
every reason to ' believe that a par
eels-post law will be in operation be
fore this congress ends. He raid

always been untriendlv to such leg
islation, but he believed the situation
in Unit bodv was now s"ch as to war
rant the belief tiiat, it the house
passed a bill, the senate alter some
delay, would accept n. I he speaker
added t.iat lie supposed there was no
doubt that the house would pass such
a lull, it not at tins special session,
certainly at tne regular session which
will open in December.
Parcels-post legislation will nave
easy sailing in the house of represen
tatives. 'J he house has always been
In taVor oi legislation of tins sort.
Herel.ot.bre the senate has been op
posed to the establishment ol an ex
perimental parcels-post on rural mail
houtes. But the old senate is no
more. Most ot tne senators w:io
were so bitterly opposed to parcels
post legislation have been retired to
private life. In their places are men.
some ot them republicans, some dem
ocrats, who favor the introduction ot
tae parcels-post system.
The new chairman of the senate
committee on postoflices and post
roads, Senator Bourne, of Oregon, lit
an advocate of the parcels-post sys
tem.. It is not at all certain that a
majority ot the members of the re
organized committee on poKtofMc.es
and post roads are in favor of tae
proposed legislation, but tae legisla
tion is undoubtedly stronger with the
committee than ever before. For
many. years Senator Putt, of New
York, as the bead of one of tae lar
gest, express companies, was un
doubtedy influential enough to block
parcels-post legislation every time it
made its appearance in the senate.
