LOUIS WINS IN EXHIBITION GO Baltimore, Nov. 7 U.R) Sgt Joe Louis used the lightest bombs In the rack last night, but demonstrated his old time pre cision long enough to win a de cision over Charley Crump, Bal timore coast guardsman, In a three-round exhibition bout In the jam-packed Century Athletic club. Performing for the second time as an "added feature" In a scheduled string of exhibition fights, the Brown Bomber hoard ed his heavy artillery and gave Crump only a few samples of his sharp punching. Four thousand fans gave Sol dier Joe a thundering ovation as he climbed into the ring. The champ weighed 212, and ap peared to be flabbier than the sleek machine he was at his pre war peak. Crump tried hard to box him self out of an obvious stooge status; but he had little control over the situation. LANDIS TO CONTINUE . REST, MISSES VOTE Chicago, Nov. 7.

TO THE BILL PROVIDES NEW MEANS OF Washington (U.R) A ' house holder wishing to pay a small bill by mail may soon be able to do so by using a new safe and Inexpensive method proposed by the post office department. Early action by the senate post office committee is expect ed on a house-approved bill, providing a postal-note system for transmitting small amounts of money by mail. The bill would permit postmasters to issue such notes in fixed denominations of 10 cents, 50 cents, .one dollar and in multiples of 50 cents up to and Including $10. Odd cents would be included in the form of adhesive postal-note stamps. These would cost five cents each. Saving To Public Under the new revenue act. fees for regular postal money orders up to $10 range from 10 to 18 cents. Orders may be pur chased up to $100, but since 70 per cent of the business 1k for sums. of $10 or less, the new low- cost service would represent considerable saving to citizens. It would relieve the post office department of considerable book keeping. The accounting necessi tated by the present money order system has cost the department at least one cent on each money order Issued and during the last fiscal year over 346,000,000 were handled. Banks, too, have found the handling of "money orders burdensome and have re quested relief from the post of fice' department. Valid Two Months The post office department hopes, too, that the new system- will discourage people from sending coin, currency and post age stamps in the mails. The notes would be valid for two calendar months from the date of issue, could not be en dorsed to another person. If their cost should exceed expec tations, the postmaster general would boost the fee to six cents, or if feasible, lower it to three cents.
