No Longer Can Young Women
Call for Mail at the De-
livery Window.
A CREDIT TO SPEKENHlER
ACTION TAKEN az THE LOCAL
POSTMASTER HAS BEEN ADOPT
Ed ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
IT IS STATED.

The practice of young girls and
women receiving mail at the
general delivery window nj the post
office has now been eliminated and
bothered in this regard for the first
time in the history Of the general de-
livery division. Postmaster J. A. Spe-
kenhier may be called the father" OF
the order which broke up this practice
all over the country. recently.
Several months ago the local post
office officials were confronted with
difficult problem. II had been the
custom for some time for young girls
and married women to call AT the gen
eral delivery window. and ask for mail.
The authorities realized that the prac-
tice was bad one. but there seemed
to be no remedy To th~-7atte-. How
ever. on September Postmaster
Spekenhier posted an on the bull
letin board to the e 80 that young
girls known to have homes. who were
in the habit of receiving their mail at
the general delivery window. would
have their names reported to the post
master who would take proper action
in the premises.
Mail to the Homes.
II was stated that mail thereafter
would be delivered at the regular ad-
dress of the recipients. The order
also declared that the names OF per-
sons receiving mail through the gen.
eral delivery window for period ex-
ceeding 80 days. would be posted with
the postmaster for the purpose Of aSl
pertaining II the business engaged in
by these patrons was legitimate.
The notice had a visable effect from
the first, but not until the past week
has the difficulty been thoroughly
Strengthened out and the practice en-
tirely discontinued. A copy of the no
tice was sent to the federal authorities
at Washington. which proved to be
the solution to the whole problem.
The order was made general all over
the country and is the first satisfac-
tory method that has ever been intro
duced. which absolutely put a stop to
the general delivery nuisance. a thing
which has been wrestled with time
and again by postal authorities in al
most every city in the United States
without success. The general deliv-
cry division is now as IL should be. It
is said. for the convenience Of tran
silent patrons only.

BY GOVERNOR TO ORGANIZE
COLLEGE PRESIDENTS.

President Robert l.. Kelly of Earl
ham college returned last evening
from Indianapolis, where he attended
tie meeting of the state board of edu-
cation. He is enthused over the plans
for the reorganization of the English
departments of the state high schools.
Dr.. Kelly was appointed membN
of the committee to reorganize the
English departments Of the high
schools OF the state. The plan at
present is to have less interpretative
work and d more practical stud in
oral and written expression. The
committee Will also consider IA course
that will include a very thorough study
of the English grammar.
Many Students Failed.

of English in the commissioned high
schools of the state.
A committee was also appointed to
define a standard college and DR.. kel-

mittee.
One of the most important things
done by the board, according to PreSi-
dent Kelly, was resolution which
was passed urging the teachers and
pupils in the schools of Indiana to
take advantage Of the exhibition OF
the work of Saint Gaudens. which
institute at Indianapolis during the
holidays. This exhibition is to be one
of the greatest exhibitions of art that
has ever appeared in the state. His
work will probably never be on eXhi-
bition at one time again.
Plan an Organization.
During the holidays President Kelly
will attend meeting of the presidents
of the standard colleges of the state
which has been called by Governor
Marshall, for the purpose of forming
permanent body of college presi
dents. Some time ago Governor Mar
shall called meeting of the presi
dents of all state educational institu
tons of higher learning of the state
and the benefits derived from the
meeting were so great that a majorit!
of the college presidents favored {
permanent organization. In order Il
perfect this organization, Governor
Marshall has called this meeting fol
the latter part of December.
In speaking of the conference DR.
Kelly said that he thought there
could DE number of benefits deriv
ed from a permanent organization
There are many problems for the
colleges which can be better solved
by an association of college presidents
than by one college president and
the faculty of such Institution.

CIRCUS WAS IN TOWN.

The fall festival in the high school
building last night by the students,
under the management of the Borad
Of Control and the faculty, was a bril-
liant success, both socially and finan
cially. Despite the disagreeable
weather large number attended. M
Terrence and Miss Tallant. general
managers of the affair. were heartily
congratulated
The forms of entertainment were nu-
merous. The doll show, under the
management of Miss Caroline StAhl,
was perhaps the most delightful. Abou.
thirty students took part in this show.
Each was dressed to represent a doll,
such as the soldier doll and American
Spanish, French, Chinese and Japanese
dolls. Some of the boys were dressed
to represent drummer, jester. clowns,
Indians and the like.
The vaudeville. under the manage
ment Of Professor J. F. Thompson was
good attraction. The acts consisted
OF illustrated songs by Miss Aisle
French and Miss Lucille Nusbaum;
Brandon Griffith and Rush Butler did
tumbling stunt that was very good
Lester Turner and his partner gave an
Indiana wrestling match.
An Amusing Farce.
Per Telephone" an amusing farce

third floor. the cast being made up Of
r
Miss Marjorie Meagan, Mr.. Hubert
Smith and Mr. Errett Haisley. the play
being well staged and the parts well
taken. Miss Smyser's part was clev-
erly taken. This production was un-
der the direction of Professor B. j. Kel :.
ly and was repeated several times dur
ing the evening.
Miss Francisco directed the fish
pond. which proved to be a popular
feature. Prof. Waldrip's German
Band created great deal of comment
and with the cries of the ticket sellers,
and bankers of the different shows. it
sounded as il circus was in town.
Punch was served on the first floor by
Miss Elma Nolte and on the second
floor by Misses Edythe Kofski and
Ruth Bradley. "Cookey and Pear" a
very novel act, was held in the fan
room in the basement. A breeze
from the fan of the furnace caused a
strong wind and on a pole was placed
o pear and cookey, with the American
flag waving freely. The What is it"
was held in the physics room in the
basement. Everyone who paid the ad-
mission was "stung."
The entertainment was an amusing
and enjoyable affair and a large sum
was netted for the treasury of the Ath-
letic association.

The hoodoo of four years standing

The Richmond high school basket

representing Steele High School of
Dayton last night by the close score of
% to 20. The Dayton team was COM
pletely outclassed in all departments
of the game. This was the first
game for both teams and the result
was in doubt until the final whistle
blew. The team work of the Quake
was much in evidence at all stages. The
short passes of the locals were used to
better advantage than the long passes
of their opponents. Repeatedly the
locals worked the ball the whole
length of the floor by the short passes
and they were converted into a marker

All Showed Strong.
Each man played strong game and
it was through the efforts of each that
Allison was able to make the necessary
points. The rough tactics of the Day
ton team is what lost the contest for
them. as Allison converted seven of the
eleven fouls into markers. Red Mayer
did not succeed in making any baskets.

many beautiful passes which aided
materially in the scoring. Hasemeier.

ment worth mentioning. Germany
the cradle of this chimera, has learn
ed its lesson, and German Socialism
is waning rapidly.
Two years ago the reichstag had
seventy-eight socialist members. The
last general election left but forty
four, decrease from 20 to IL per
cent of the total membership OF that
body. This tremendous loss in the
hotbed of the faith naturally weakens
the movement all over Europe.
In the United States there are not
wanting signs that Socialism is los
ing adherents. Already many OF them
appreciate the fact that no relief
from our economical ills can ever be
expected from Socialist political sue
cesses. They naturally are beginning
to forsake Socialism and to make a
party which believes in modifying
systems and changing conditions to
suit the needs OF progress.
Progress Is the most deadly foe of
Socialism, which, in its most concrete
form, is scarcely more than an express
sion Of discomfort Therefore, follow

conclusion. socialism may be expected
