Postmaster General Smith has
found IL necessary to send separate
communication to the civil service
commissioner protesting against the
rules they have established for the
physical examination of applicants
for positions in the free delivery serv.
ice of the post Office department.
These rules require the applicant to
be measured in bare feet by the ex-
amining physician, and there are
other specifications which manifestly
cannot be easily applied to women.
The postmaster general, however,
is specially strenuous in his desire to
