Post In ' Will POULTRYMEN SEtL - DIRECT Regulations Worked Out " Under :r y- Which Dressed Fowls and " Meats Can be Carried. Washington;' Nov25, The Parcels Post . Commission J. , after months 7- of study and investigation, have, worked out regulations by which eggs,' meats and dressed fowls can be safely carried through the. mails from the- farm to the city .consumer under' the Lewis' ,"Frm .roducis";? provision . of the Parcels Post ' law; which becomes - ef fective January 1 - i : Manufactureres have-, submitted to the (commission , a scheme for : light weight corrugated paper boxes in which these articles can be packed for trans portation without fear of damage. J The eggtrate is made of strong corrugated pasteboard. It consists of square par titions for each egg, ftad the scheme b one which the postal experts declare will enable the poultrymen in the coun try to ship eggs to any part of the United States. Boxes have also been made for meats and dressed fowls. The scheme is one which is it said will go a long ways tward breaking down the high price of eggs in the cities. The .poultrymen on the farm, it is pointed out, can advertise in city news papers for customers of about a dozen eggs once or twice a week, delivery by parcels post. At the present time the price of eggs in - the cities isi nearly three times greater than it is in the country. The samcf scheme regarding dressed fowls can be worked, by which the city consumer can have delivered at his door a dressed chicken at a little over half what it costs retail in the cities. The city butcher, on the other hand, with the meat crate that has been pro vided' for him, can send to the urban resident or a nearby farmer every morning a roast or steak. With the establishment of these facilities the postal experts declare it now remains with the city merchants and thepoultry man and trucker in the country-to extend their trade through the medium of the parcels post, f The Parcels : Post Commission has also worked out the insurance regula tion, by which valuable packages sent by city merchants to their Urban trade can be indemnified jn case of loss. This means that the insurance provision of the law :will- be put into operation when the parcels post . is 'inaugurated in January. The collection; delivery system has not yet; been perfected, but the experts expect to orginate a scheme for' returning the money collected on delivery of packages without - much bookkeeping on the part of thetiovern ment, .Some of the - experts . believe that the parcels post collection delivery business will eventually bringsfractiona! currency. If this done v, they -contend, the' problem to return ' nioifey will not be hard to solve. ;' ', v' -1 " " . .

Rapid progress is being made on the paving of Neuse road. The paving has, been placed for a distance of about three fourths of a mile. The paving material is brought here in big tanks cars. ' There are placed on a track near the water. works on account of the fact that the contents of the car. must be heated with steam before it can be taken out. Large tank wagons are used in hauling the material from that point to the place at which the work is going on In mixing the material before it is placed on the road sand is used. This helps in the ' hardening process and makes a much more durable road. KINDNESS WON HER $150,000 Crippled G4r4 Gave Fruit A4 Flow :.,; era to Rich Masu PoughkeepW, N. Not. 23 Be cause .-she, gave fruit and flowers to Gerald Thurston, a . Chicago piano manufacturer, !; who died liearly four years ago, when she waff a girl of six years, Marion L. Covert, daughter of a Poughkeepsie butcher, has received w6rd that she is to get $150,000 of the piano man's fortune. Miss Covert ,who is a cripple, says she' has not decided what she will do with the money, except perhaps to get married, "settle down and be happy ever after." Miss Covert was a child when she first met Thurston, at Marlborough, N. Y., which is the heart of the fruit growing part of Ulster county. She was at the home of her grandmother, Gershon Thome, who owned a big farm a few miles back from the river. Mr. Thurston was boarding on a neighboring farm. Picking flowersone day, the little girl met him in the high, way.- They became friends and through out -the season she carried fruits and flowers to the piano manufacturer. Every summer Mr. Thurston re turned to board on the farm and the girl also went to stop at her grand father's home. . ' When1 Mr. Thurston returned to Chicago they exchanged letters weekly. Mr. " Thurston died in May, 1909, leaving 4 150,000 to M iss Covert, then a .young woman. He left $10 to a bother, who contested the will, but without success! Miss Covert said that there is to be a final settlement of the estate in Brooklyn next Saturday. Inr addition to the (150,000, a house in New York goes to the young woman. . "Of course I am very happy," said MissN Covert-"but I'm going ttvbe very careful of my money, because it is so easv to lose in these days.- But I guess I'll go to New York and live after the estate ia settled. I have al ways bred in the country nd have not seed as much of the world as 1 would like.". .Yes,- I have received proposals of marriage, but I don't want to believe that it was on account of ; the money."

With this information available Post-master-peneral Hitchcock believes that it will be possible for him to begin the parcels-post service on January 1 with the necessary equipment, and thus establish a nation-wide service of large proportions with -the least possible ik Uon.

PROIIfJG FOR EX-PRESIDENTS I I I I. ! J Senator Bur'eion Joins Carngei U In Trying to Make Their , WANTS THEM AS LAWMAKERS Give Them Privileges of Floor, No Vote and a Salary of $17,500. Washington, Nov. 25. As a result of the disscussion aroused by Andrew Carnegie's offer to pension ex-presidents and their widows, a movement is a!- ready on foot to avoid the need of the pension for retired Presidents by mak ing them permanent "Representatives-at-Large." with seats in the Hoase. Representative' Albert S. Burleson, of Texas,' who has been prominently7 mentioned for Secretary of Agriculture in the Wilson Cabinet, is behind the scheme, and he has already drafted a provision which he will try to induce the Committee on appropriations to insert in She Legislative, Executive and Judicial. Appropriations bill. His pro poned provision is as follows: ' "Hereafter every ex-president of the .United, States shall, during his life, be held and regarded as a JiLeresentative-at-Large of the people '.of the United States and shall .be entitled to the priJ vilege of the floor of the House of Repre sentatives, with all the rights of mem bers of the House of Representatives, save that of voting, and shall receive for hi3 services an annual salary of $17,500 provided that ne obligation to serve on committees of the House shall be imposed upon such representa tive." Mr. Burleson said that such members. as he had met seemed to approve his plan. A subcommittee of the Commi te on Appropriations, of which Mr. Burle son is a member, is already at work on the general bill, and Mr. Burleson hopes to have the subcommittee first, and then the full' committee accept his text or something like it as a part of the original measure that will be reported to the House. If the provision meets general approval Mr. Bulreson will seek to protect it against a point of order ' new legislation by securing from the Committee on Rules a special resolution permitting it to stand on. it merits. To give the proposed "representa tivestat -large" votes in the Housa would, of bourse, require a consitutio- nal amendment but such an amend ment, in Mr. Bulreson's opinion, will be unneccessary for his plan. The Con- stitution provides that "the House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year b the peopte of the several States." But. that section has not been construed as preventing the seating of territorial delegates and the resident commissioner from Porto Rico and the Phillippines. ' Under Mr. Bulreson's plan ex-presidents, except for the larger salary, would be in the' position of territorial delegatosgsl&l who can speak in their own right, but cannot, vote. Should it be adopted Col onel Roosevelt could address the House whenever he secured recognition, and -he and President Taft would face each. ' other after: March 4. ; Their presence ', in the lower chamber, in Burleson's -belief would add tothe prestige of the House. :,:-iv? 3 The !:; feeling; , is . that Congress will . probably take some action in answer to - Carnegie's offer, - which r has . been yre- garded seriously here as chiefly as a , challenge to Congress. His, proposal :; has been almost universally condemned, '. 4 but many Congressmen have expressed the opinion tfcatj something, should be done -to provide -; for, t ex-Presidents. " Mr. Burfe sons provision-will probably -w ' be'. the 'center : of. a . warhr .discussion from 'which some form of pension legis- i lation pfr ex-presidents may emerge." ','' -' ' , " . !
