GOVERNMENT SALARIES Somle interesting facts respecting the early salaries of high government officials are given in a recent publication, which notes that Washington's salary of $25,000 a year was th£ pay of all Presidents until 1873, when an increase to $50,000 was made. In 190£? the present salary of $75,000 was authorized by Congress. Cabinet officers in the early days received what would be considered very meager pay today. Thomas Jefferson drew only $3,500 a year as secretary of state; Alexander Hamilton drew the same as secretary of the treasury; General Knox, the first secretary of war, received but $3,000, and the attorney-general had a part time job with little pay. These four were the cabinet officers from 1789 to 1799. Members of Congress received no regular yearly salary in the early days, but were paid $6 a day when actually attending, sessions. In 1816 a salary of $1,500 a year was provided but this was repealed the following year and $8 a day for actual service was established* as their compensation. In 1856 the pay of members of Congress was fixed at $3,000; in 1866 at $5,000; in 1875 at $7,500, and in 1925 at $10,000. Leading movie stars, prizefighters, baseball sluggers and columnists would sniff at all these salaries, .except that of the President, and many of them make, even if they do not earn, much more than is paid the nation's chief executive.

Washington.--One million gullible Americans yearly lose their money and property in mail fraud schemes. The loss Is estimated at-one billion dollars a year. This wfis revealed by Horace J. Donnelly, assistant "solicitor of the Post jOffice department, to whose lot has fallen the job, of holding this loss down to a minimum. He has directed thousands of investigations of mail frauds, and put thousands of swindlers out of business, but for every one who is stopped another appears. And the number of people ready to be victimised shows no noticeable decline. ; • ' V, ' : WHIirifl to Be Dupid. ;l '• Mr. Donnelly tells the story : \ ^ • "It is amazing that so many people, in this enlightened age, are willing to be duped, but particularly In connec; tion with investment ventures, their desire to get something for nothing, or a lot for a Httle, sewns almost to overcome all efforts to protect them. "In many cases so strong a hold, has: the crook on his victim that we are severely condemned by the victim for putting the swindler out of business, the dupe still believing that the false promises of riches will be fulfilled." Mall frauds run through a multitude of varieties, _ from the simple catchpenny schemes to gigantic Investment swindles of different kinds Involving millions of dollars each, Donnelly went on. • <' Some petty faker ofTers to ladles, for advertising purposes, ten yards of beautiful silk for making shirtwaists and other fancy things at the fancy price of ten cents, said Donnelly, _but fills the order witji ten yards of Silk thread. He continued: "Fake medicine men, with their alA solute cures for every human ailment have a fertile field., One quack claimed that with his flew discovery he could cure cancer, tuberculosis, leprosy, curvature of the spine and other ailments, in addition to growing new >yes and restoring sight-.to" the bl,ind. $300,d00 Yearly Profit! "His concoction was found to consist ©f olive oil, alcohol and water, mixed ^wlth flavoring oils, each flavor making n different remedy. He was receiving tin inpome.of about $300,000 a year from the compound. "We came across another case the other day of a company which was nfferlflg pills to make the jbust larger or smaller. Investigation revealed the same pills were being used for both. "Foreign sweepstake lotteries are always: an important prdblem," l^on- "Helly said. "We handle 1,000 lottery cases a year, and, although we do ev erythlrig possible to bar any lottery literamre from the mails, the opera tors manager to draw down an enor moils revenue. Investigation time and again has revealed the great majority of these are fakes." He added that there Is some fly-bynight scheme for every line of legitimate business. The Post Office d< partment is making every effort to stamp out these rackets, but so loug as there are gullible people in th# world ready to be plucked, the prac .tlce will go on, Donnelly continued.

The government now Is using tool proof steel for Us cells and a recent series of tests at the new Lewisburg. Pa., federal penitentiary show beyond all doubt, that the harg cannot be cut hy hacksaws or other tools that might be slipped to inmates. This steel was used In construction of" cells at Lewisburg and also at the Alcatrac Island pcnltcntinry In San Francisco bay where the most desperate federal prisoners soon are to be incarcerated. , The warden t>f Lewisburg sent Fed eral Prison Director Bates a sample of the tool-proof steel bars which had been attacked experimVntally with half a dozen fools that would easily cut through ordinary steel. Tb£ bar was little more than scratched. Hacksaws bit slightly IntQu the outside layer, but their teeth were worn off by the Inner cores'of especially hardened metal! Brand-new files" be cahie smooth and useless after a few strokes. Even a metal lathe, which no prisoner could smuggle int.o a cell, was tried and with no re8nlt. * Ac|«l,' too, proved futile. ' Fire Fighting by Plane With Chemicals Likely Syracuse.--Chemical compounds may be used in the future for extinguish ing forest fires. The opportunity for the employment of chemicals In this field may become much broader than has ever been possible In combating other types of fires, says the New York State College of Forestry. The use of dust-chemical combinations from the air aM^ntually may be developed which wouul probably be Impracticable In connection with building conflagrations In city or country unless the fire coT-" ered an extensive area. It Is known that efficient dust mix tures have been developed which can be applied from an airplane and that these dust combinations can be pro duced In commercial quantities at fair ly reasonable prices. Moreover, the needed materials can be stowed at con •enlent points available for use os s$>ort notice.
