Accord ng to a recent ruling ot Postmaster General Meyer substi- tute letter carriers will hereafter undertake the delivery of special delivery letters instead of messen- ger boys.
 The postmaster general has de cided that the employment of boys for this work is not particu arly conducive to good morals on the part Of the boys and has ordered that whenever vacancies occur in the messenger ranks, other boys shall not be appointed, but the work delegated to the substitutes. The work of the boys, MT. Meyer says, requires them to go to low resorts. saloons and other places, and he. believes the department should no be party to such requirements
