Postmasters' Marital Relations.

Merritt 0. Chance, chief clerk of the
post office department, several months
ago sent to all the postmasters In the
country list of questions asking for
certain information to be used in the
preparation of the Government Blue
Book, which is published every two
years. One of the questions in the list
was.
"What are your marital relatiOns?"
The object Of this particular question
was to find out whether the postmasters
are married, single, widowed or divorc-
cd. But some Of the rural postmasters
did not understand. Mr.. Chance receiv-
ed several answers In which the persons
addressed endesvored to give clear and
lucid explanation of the status of their
married life. One postmaster said his
domestic affairs were "fine and dandy"
Another, not 80 fortunate, replied:
"Fairly middliDg." A third filled In
the blank space with one word: "H-ll."
