In Detroit Mich, the postmaster sent
out cards to the principal business firms
asking them n the postoffices in Detroit
could be closed on Sundays without caus-
ing them any inconvenience through their
not being able to obtain any mail. over
20 per cent OF the responses received stated
that the postoffce could be closed and
nothing would be lost through receiving
the mail on Monday morning In case
Of emergency one window Of the general
delivery IL kept open for one hour and
people absolutely requiring their mail can
obtain same at that window. After more
than six months trial this plan has proven
a great success and other cities are COM

In South Omaha the postoffice Is Kept
open Sunday mornings, but clerks working
that day are entitled to a day off during
the rest Of the week.
The matter OF Sunday closing Is left

postmaster and II he puts In his time try
