DIG FOR $500,000 IN INDIANAPOLIS UNDER 3C POST Figures Based on Receipts of $2,850,000 for Year Ended June 30. NO DECREASE IN WAR Citizen? of Indianapolis will be cslld npon to pay out foots than a half million dollar? a year more than they are now spending for postage. should tho recommendations of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon for a 3 cent letter postage rate be put Into effect by Congas*, ~ according to estimate? based on figures supplied by Robert E. Springsteen, postmaster When 3 cent postage was In effect during the World War. the extra cent was treated as a war tax and returns were made to the PostofTice Department on a basis of keeping the excess over the old S cent rate separate. It was found that about 17.07 per cent of the gross receipts of the office, with certain small deduc tions. was represented by the extra cent. During the fiscal year ended .Tune 30, 19S1. the total business of the Indianapolis poetoffice amounted to $2,850,030. Estimating that during the next fiscal year the local postoffice will handle the same bulk of business, and this Is conservative, as there has been an annual Increase In the receipts of the Indian spoils postoffice for many years back, a S cent postage based on the 17 07 per cent Increase existing during the war, would result In a gross revenue of about >3.400.000. or an increase of $530,000. all of which would come out of the pockets of patrons of the local postoffice. SO marked falling OFF DURING WAR. According to Postmaster Springsteen there waa no marked falling off In the number of letters handled under a 3-oent postage rate during the war. The only jdare where a marked decrease tn the bulk of first class mail going through the postoffic® was noticed was in the case of postal cards. The rat? for thge during the war waa 2 cents in stead of 1 cent aDd most persons seemed to be willing to spend an additional cent and send a real letter. The falling off in the number of picture post cards was decidedly marked. Whether under present conditions a 3cent letter rate would result in any great decrease in mail is problematical. During the war there waa an enormous amount of mail directed to boys In military service, and postoffice officials say these letters would have been sent regardless of the postage rate. Farents, sweet hearts, relatives and friends of service men would not let a little thing like a change tn postal rate interfere with send Ing letters to the boys In khaki. .Tust what a 3-cent rate would bring about under existing conditions is nncertsin. but officials are inclined to believe it

would not make any great amount of different In the number of pieces of first class mail bandied. BEGAN TO MOUNT AFTER FIRST MONTH. The 3-cent rate was discontinued July 1, 1919, and for the next month, the first under the 2-cent rate, there was a falling off in stamp sales of about $21,000 over the previous month. Ilowever. after that the normal rate of increase reasserted Itself. Asa matter of fact there has been a steady and continuous growth of receipts at the local posroffice. For the fiscal year ended .Tune 30, 1919, which was a ”3 cent” year, receipts amounted to a trifle more than $2,500,000. The following year, under a 2-ceut letter rate they Jumped to $2,592,000 and in the year Juat ended they rea-hed $2,850,000. There seems little doubt tbst a 3-ceut rate would result In a great increase in receipts regardless of whether or not the bulk of mail handled by the poatoffloe increased as it has In the past. TOLD TO SEARCH SHIP FROM U. S. Greeks Informed Turkish Vessel Carries Munitions. ATHENS. Aug. s.—The Greek ministry of marine has been Informed that the Turkish steamship Gul Djemal has left New York for Constantinople with a cargo of munitions for the Turks labelled ‘'agricultural Implements,” and orders were given today to intercept It.

LONDON, Aug s.—The danger of eating sweets was strongly emphasized by Robert Lindsay, sscretary of the British Dental Aswfiiation. Sweets should never be eaten between meals, but only with food requiring mastication. He advised going to bed with a clean mouth; that had teeth poison the body and cause a bad complexion; and chew food well.

CLOSED SEASON ON BLUE GILLS AND BASS WORKS Law Found to Be Satisfactory —More Fishing Licenses Issued. The closed season law protecting bass and blue gills during the spawning period from April 30 to June 36, although ir- operation for the first time this spring, is unquestionably one of the best for wild and aquatic life conservation ever enacted In Indiana, George N. Mannfeld. State conservation department official, declared today. Department officlala, especially of the fish and game division of which Mr. Mannfeld Is superintendent, anxiously watched results of this law, both from a point of protection It afforded and to see If the cloaed season brought about a decrease In license sales. According to Mr. Mannfeld the receipts for April, May and June of this year for licenses sold, compared with receipts for the same montba a year ago, show a net gala of $1,581.03 for 1921. Comparative sales are; April. 1920. *2,299.25: April, 1521. $2,476.80; May, 1920. $4,387.80: May. 1921; $3.724.10: June, 1920, $6.05520; Juno, 1921, $8,133.38. The closed season permits natural reproduction of many game fish In Hoosler wafers, especially In lakes and potential fish streams, and proved of considerable financial benefit to those operating hotels and cottages at the summer resorts, Mr Mannfeld says. This Is due to the rea son tourists are bound to come where fishing is best. I.otters to the conservation department from boatmen and hotel owners in the northern part of the State show that demands for accommodations increased considerably. Several
