Babies Rated as Live Animals by the
Post Office DEPARTMENT.

Under the assumption that babies are
live animals, the second assistant post
master general has ruled that they are
barred from the mails.
Postmaster C. w Merrill of Stratford
Okla, presented the question to the Post
Office Department squareiy for decision
because j. B. Denton of that place had
asked if he might have a two-year-old
baby sent from Twin Falls, Idaho, to
Stratford by parcel post,
There is nothing in the parcel post reg

provision which bars live animals from
