FAIR SEX WANT TO
BE RURAL CARRIERS

WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-Positions as
rural carriers are not supposed to be at
tractive to women. and the PostofficS
Department does not encourage their en-
ployment. but an increasing number of
women are invading the rural delivery
field sometimes as regular carriers and
more frequently as substitutes,
Assistant Postmaster-G General Degraw
is authority for the statement that when
women obtain places as rural carriers
they invariably accept cheerfully the
hardships that accompany. An example
of this is shown in a report received at the
department of the case of Miss Lenna
Sennott, who is the substitute carrier on a
26-mile route in one of the New England
States. Miss Sennott has held the posi-
ton for three years, and. although the
route is a long one and is thiclily wooded
in some sections. Miss Sennott says she
has no fear I'm driving over It alone. and
she carries no weapon of defense.

FOR THE REEDIES
Rivermen Say Birds Will Not
Be Plentiful This
Year

1t is now but couple Of weeks be-

few short weeks when the birds are
plentiful so out and return with a

usual promises fcr a prolific crop Of Tho
tasteful tidbits. and Usher men ana 9TH

reedies is scarcer than it has been f1-
some years past. Although it is yet q
little early, it is time that the birds

pected in the course OF few DAYS
There will be little cunning on shis

the larger number of birds will have
been driven off to the other side, and

Cunning for reed birds is not to-day
what it was ten or fifteen years ago.
Pot hunters ana moro stringent gum

license has to be paid, and there is
more red tape to be gone through
than would serve to ouiid an airship,

A similar law applies to nonresident
