Someone asks, What is the cause
Of the accosting of girls and women
on the streets?' The answer can
be but one thing, the home training
or rather the lack of it, the indiffer-
ence of the parents regarding the
whereabouts of their children or their
associates.
There is nothing truer under the
sun than the old saying, Evil com
munications corrupt good manners
It is just as often the girl companion
as the boy, or young man, who leads
the young girls astray What are you
going to do about it if the parents
will not take the responsibility Of tai
ing care of their children? This city
has a curfew ordinance which like al
most all the oLhre ordinances it
is lying dormant if not dead. Other
cities have curfew ordinances and
enforce them. BUT, Grand Rapids is
different from most other cities-it
don't enforce anything. Even the
police are. powerless to do what they
would do if they felt that they would
be backed up by the ordinances and
could get convictions. The police are
criticised-they are not to blame
it's the lack of system. It might be
a good idea for the council to hold
a special session and go over the or
dinances that have been passed and
get rid Of the dead letter ones and
make new ones in their place and
enforce them. A masher ordinance
would be a good thing right now to
stop the insulting of women and girls
who are so unfortunate as to have to
pass some of our down town cor
ners in the evening.

HANDLED 1926
PIECES OF MAIL
CARRIERS OF CALUMET COVERED
ee2 MILES AND MAKE TOTAL
OF 1921 STOPS LAST
WEEK.

Calumet's mail carriers handled 81
sS5 pieces of mail last week. DurEg
that period they covered 99s miles and
made 1921 stops. In accordance with
instructions received week ago from
the first assistant postmaster gener-
al, Postmaster Wickstrom last week
kept a careful record OF the move
ments OF the carriers from the Calu-
met office. Data was compiled and
mailed yesterday to headquarters.
During the period mentioned the
carriers handled 4.37S pounds of mall
of all classes. This does not seem a
large amount but when it is figured
that the average letter weighs under
two ounces, and that the ordinary
newspaper weighs only a few ounces,
some realization OF what 1t means TO
handle that amount of mail can be.
CLEANED
There are ffty-two letter boxes and
two package boxes. and four comblna-
ton and letter boxes located through
out the district The weight OF first
class mail handled amounted to eos
pounds. while the weight of all other
classes OF mail was 3.Sll pounds. The
number of pieces of first-class mail
handled was 2O.s63, and the total num-
Der OF pieces OF mail. other than first
class, 1882, bringing the grand total
to 3i.2S5.
The average weight OF mail per car
rier per day last week was &C pounds.
Just for what purpose the postoffice |
department desires the information |
gathered last week has not been learn
3D. but the presumption is that inn |
portant changes are contemplated |
or not the business done by |
he local office warrants additional car
'iers is matter for the postoffice au.
.horities to consider.
