Post office department efficiency is again brought to the attention of this city by the discovery that boxes order ed for local use nearly a year ago have net yet been delivered.

When it is remembered that 25 per cent. of the deaths registered in Con- necticut are of children under five, tho importance of taking steps to conserve child life may readily be realized. The plan evolved by Miss Julia c. LathIop, chief of the children's bureau, for Lro- noting child welfare by commencing with a study of the conditions against which infants so frequently battle for life. Is of the most practical and con structtve nature. A thorough unSer- standing of the causes of excessive in- faTlt mortality Is the first step to Tard eliminating them.-Bridgeport Stand ard.

AS TO EFFICIENCY

Cwritten Specially for The Bulietin.)
 It was Bulwer Lytton, I believe, who said that that is the most useful life which touches the greatest number of other lives at the greatest number of points. We can understand what he meant when we stop to consider the wonderful amount of good which 1t Is permitted some mortals to do.
 In the realm of invention, for in- stance; Clever Ones have thought out some device or aid which has meant untold saving of time and money and labor for those who have adopted 1t.
 All the common implements and tools and household articles represent the practical ideas of somebody some where. In other words, they stand for someone's efficiency.
 It may be a churn dasher, a patented blow, a planter or harvester, Q new style egg-beater, some twist in the barbed wire of the fence, an eco- nomical kind of paint, a way of pre- serving pictures from books or mag azines or papers so as to increase their mission of uefulness and beauty, even @ recipe which will make palatable and nourishing some coarse portion of the grain or vegetable or fruit-in any case 1t spells the brains and thought and practical usefulness of some human.

FIGHT TO OPEN
STREET MAY BE
IN COURT SOON

The proposal to open lockwood ave-
nue in Calexico as another avenue into
MeXicai may be dragged into the le-
gal ringside and buffeted about next
Friday, if Superior Judge Cole chooses
to hear mandamus proceedings at
that time. Attorney O. V. Wilson,
who is appearing for the CaleXico pc
titioners who are seeking to have the
fence that the City of CaleXico erect
ed at the foot Of the street removed,
said this morning that papers for the
issuance of a preliminary writ had
been sent to Superior Judge Cole. The
.iurist is now ON the coast, but is eX-
pectod to return Friday.
The fight to have the street opened
by the petitioners and the counter at
tack by the city to keep lockwood
avenue closed now appears to have
resolved itself into a question Of time
The CaleXico trustees have begun pro-
ceedings to Vaeate the property where
the fence stands and unless the man
damus writ is obtained before the le-
cal requirements of vacating the
street have been complied with, the
fence will probably adorn the foot of
lockwood avenue until the trustees
want to take it down.

CUPID TO HAVE INNINGS
AT FOOD SHOW TONIGHT
Newly Wed and Engaged Couples tc
Be Admitted Free-Red-Head
Night a Success.

Newly wed and engaged couple are
to be admitted to the food show to-
night free of charge.
To gain admission, however, newly
weds must exhibit a marriage license
that has been issued since January l,
1915, and the engaged ones must bring
along a wedding invitation or an
nouncement which indicates that be-
fore long they will be Mr.. and Mrs. So
and So.
Last night was red-head night at the
show. Every red-headed woman was
admitted free Of charge. Manager
Patrick announced that about $500 red
heads were in attendance.
Judging from the number of escorts
that accompanied the red-haired wom-
en- that type of beauty is much favored
in Washington, and the exhibitors, too,
joined in the entertainment of the
guests of the evening by being espe-
cially generous in the distribution of
samples. The presence of so many red
haired women was naturally the occa-
sion for great deal of good-natured
comment, and last night at the food
show will go down in the records Of the
exhibition as one of the most interest
ing periods of the two weeks.
Many amusing incidents occurred at
the door. Just a lock or two of red
hair did not suffice for the ticket
takers They made it plain that they
were from Missouri and many of those
accorded free admission promptly I'M
covered just to prove that there was no
deception. 1t did not make bit of diff
ference to the ticket takers whether
the red hair worn was natural or
bought and paid for" All that was
required for free admission was red
hair.
