HUGE BALDWIN ,
 ESTATE CONTESTED
Beatrice Anita Turnbull Claims Share of $11,OOO,OOO Before the
 Superior Court.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 13.- The fight of Beatrice Anita Baldwin Turnbull for a two4ninths share in the s11,000,000 estate of the late E. J. Baldwin begins before Judge Rives and a jury in the superior court to- day.
 The contestant was born in this city seventeen years ago, and her birth certificate, on record here, gives her mothers name as Lillian A. Ashley and her fathers name as Elias Jackson Baldwin. It is claim
 ed that Mrs. Ashley and Baldwin were living under what the former at the time supposed was common law marriage agreement, the origi- nal ofewhich is said to be in the hands of H. A. Uurus, executor of the Baldwin estate. The validity of the marriage is not an issue, the contention being that under Califor- mia laws the child of void marriage is regarded as legitimate and the failure of Baldwin to mention Bea- trice in his will does not raise the legal presumption that he intended to disinherit her.
 Distribution of the estate to the heirs was about to be made when this contest was filed. tying up the property indefinitely.

POSTAL DEFICIT
 IS CUT DOWN
Increase in Population Means /, Wide Extension of Postal
 Service.

Washington, Dec. 13.-ln the space of twelve months reduction has been made in the deficit of the postoffice department of $l1, 100000, According to the annual report of Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch- cock made public Saturday.
 While a year ago the fiscal records of the postal service disclosed q defi- cit of $11,500,0 ,000. the largest in the history Of the country, the excess of expenditures over receipts for the year ended June 90, lust amounted to only $55SfS,56G. In commenting upon 7lis reduction Postmaster General Hitchcock say in his report:
 Tt is most gratifying to report that this unprecedented reduction has been made without any curtail- ment of postal facilities. On the con- trary, the service has been largely extended
 The departments policy is to ex-
 
 warranted by increasing population. In furtherance of this policy 1,500 new poetoftices were established during the last year and S15 new rural delivery routes traversing al- together 12,235 miles, were instituted. Nearly $500 new employees of var lous classes, were placed upon the rolls of the department, whoge aggre- gate salaries were more than $2.00O,- $1,700,000 was added to the salaries of postoffice clerks, $1,226 ,000 to the salaries of letter carriers and $250,- 000 to the salaries of railway mail clerks. All Increases in salary were based upCiai efficiency ratings.
 In the discussion of the second elsss mail, Postmasfer General Hitchcock points out the constant growth of this class of matter. It is carried at loss, and he urges that a remedy should be promptly ap- piled by charging more postage.
 \ general eXtensiou of the civil service rules to fourth class postmas- ters is recommended, although some disadvantages have developed in the application of the civil service rules to postmasters of that class. . In conclusion Postmaster General Hitchcock expresses the hope that congress will see it's way clear to grant an annual leave of absence of thirty days to postonfice clerks, city letter carriers and to railway postal clerks who are required to work six days or more a week throughout the year.

Miss Alice Owen, OF Kansas City, in

the Central Iowa Business College this

without single error on her part. Just
once the machine failed to space, and
one letter was struck over the other.
Business letters containing long and

Owen and she took them directly on
the machine without striking a wrong
letter, forgetting to space, or misspell-
ing a word at the rate Of 103 words a

Needless tc say, she is pure touch

To demonstrate her wonderful power
