hope was entertained that the Wabash

The employees of the local postofice
have not yet taken any action upon the
order of the postofice department per-
hitting them to wear shirt waists, but
will probably hold a meeting in the near
future for the purpose of considering
the matter. They will very probably
be guided by the action of postal en-
ployes elsewhere. If they are controlled
by considerations of comfort they will
adopt the shirt waist. 1t is altogether
probable that they will turn the laugh
on the fly coppers" who have patrolled
the shady side of the street while they
nave been lodging in and out Of doors
with the hot sun beating down upon
them.
