POST OFFICE MONEY
 ORDER WINDOW BUSY PLACE ON SATURDAYS
Patrons Should Do Business Before 8 P. N. to Avoid
 Wait-Post Office News.

Those who have occasion to take out money orders at the main post office on Saturdays should endeavor to do so before 8 o'clock in the even ing if they wish quick service as an extra clerk is at the window until that, hour. After 8 o'clock there is but one clerk in this department and for some weeks past the unusually large number of people who have come for money orders after eight o'clock has necessitated a long wait.
 
 Notice has been received by Post master c. F. Greene of the resumption of the parcel post service between the United States and Italy. Parcel post packages which conform with the prescribed conditions will again be accepted for mailing to Italy. |
 The attention of the postmaster has been called to the fact that a parcel of fourth class matter should not be accepted for mailing unless it bears the name and address of the sender. When such a package is de- posted for mailing and the sender is known or can be ascertAined from I the contents of the parcel. it must be | returned to him with the information that his name and address should be placed upon it. If the sender is not known or cannot be ascertained, the parcel should be marked sender unz known, and dispatched; The oIniss sion of the sender's name and ad- dress causes much inconvenience and annoyance not only to the postal ser vice but to the addressee as well.
 All automobile tires or castings which are so wrapped as to leave a clear space in the center and which come within the limit of size for the fourth class or parcel post matter are n1ailable at fourth class rates, of post age provided, of course, they come within the limit of weight for such matter.

NO ERROR FOUND IN
 AUTO DAMAGE SUIT

Justice Roraback finds no error in the cases of John R. Coffin against Siegfried Laskau and Antonio Um- brogia against Siegfried Laskau.J The eases were tried together and were to recover damages of $599 and $480, respectively. for injury to an automo- bile owned by Coffin and personal in jury to the driver of the automobile. Um brogia, as a result of collision in which the auto was struck by a three-ton motor truck owned by the defendant on the post road in Green wich. The motor truck is alleged to have sIlidded on an oily pavement , while travelling at a high speed and to have telescoped the smaller car. The case was tried in the court of common pleas, in Fairfield county, Judge Walsh, and judgment rendered for the two plaintiffs. The defend ant in appealing, contended that the plaintiffs chauffeur was guilty of con tributory negligence in travelling at a speed exceeding ten miles an hour when approaching and traversing a bridge. The decision says that the contention is not supported by the record which shows that the place of the collision was highway or road. A further contention is that an error was made in permitting the plaintiff to give his expert opinion as to the value of his car after the collision. This contention is not upheld.

Home and School Meeting.

There was fair attendance at the
meeting of the Home and School Associ-
alton at the vestry of Deering Memorial
Church Friday evening. The special OBJ
jects of the meeting were to give the
people an opportunity to meet the teach
ers and superintendent, and to present a
health program. Mrs. (. n. Haskell,
the president of the association, pre-
sided.
Ventilation of school rooms and bed
rooms was the topic Of discussion
opened by Miss Franck, who dwelt prin-
cipally upon the necessity for ventila-
ton. Others spoke briefly.
1.-THE greatest cause of disease in this
community" was said by DR.. d. NJ.
Stewart in his talk to be ignorance-ig-
norance of the laws of health and the
proper care of the body. But he noted
that conditions in that respect are rap
idly improving throughout the country,
and the results appear in reduction of
disease.
"Why we have colds" was to have
been discussed by DR.. Wheeler, but as
be was not able to be present, there was
a brief and rather informal discussion
by some of the audience.
A piano solo was played by Miss Nellie
Jackson in the course Of the program.
