NEW AUTO MAIL SERVICE
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Congress Heights Citizens Seek Re-
Establishment of Old
System.

The consolidation Of three rural mail
routes with horse-drawn vehicles in
the Oxon Hill district in Maryland and
in the southeastern end of the District
into two automobile mail routes has
aroused the residents Of that territory,
many of whom declare that mail serv-
ice there now is not as good as be-
fore. Rural mail service from the Con-
gress Heights post office has been
a polished, and the two automobile
routes now start from Anacostia- The

Association has started a movement

J. S. Lyon and M. L. Mckay have been
named committee to take the matter
in charge.
Post Office Department ofiicials say
the new service is experimental. but
that it will prove a success II given a
fair chance. 1t is denied that by the
consolidation of routes any resident of
the section has been deprived OF rural
mail service. The fact that the men
in charge of the automobile routes
are green at the work may have re-
suited in some mistakes. it was stated.
but confidence was expressed that as
soon as they became moro accustomed
to the routes no further difficulty
would be experienced.

Corporate financial control of foreign

this great avenue of trade was opened
by any rival power. Joined to imperial

You must obtain the sympathy and

the inspectors. 'ff your work is to be
true in the history of milk inspection

the biggest dairy interests there are
the worst laws. If the dairy industry

highly profitable, it must be on the

high standards of cleanliness in coun-

Among the topics to which he gave
particular emphasis and asked the
serious attention of the convention was
the necessity for some new and simple
process of refrigeration for southern
dairymen.
Among the axioms he laid down for the
aspiring milk dealer were: First, have a
healthy COW; second, have her and her
product kept clean: third, use every
means possible to control or better the
facilities for the shipment of the product ::
fourth, abjure automobile trucks and de-

Bear in mind on your return home
that you must see to it that your sem
ator and representative shall have. dur
ing their residence in Washington. as
ample and as good milk inspection
service as they get in your own CITY,"
These words were used by DR.. William
c. Woodward, health officer of the Dis
trict of Columbia. this morning in his
speech of welcome to the delegates in
attendance at the first session of the
fourth annual convention of the Inter-
national Association of Dairy and Milk
Inspectors. held at the Raleigh Hotel.
This warning of DR.. Woodward's
was in connection with an explanation
made to the delegates of the present
method of adjusting the financial ex-
penses of the District and of the efforts
now under way to change this method.

tho greetings of the business men who
live therein. He urged them to do all
in their power to see to it that Con-
gress be not niggardly in Its attitude
to Washington, and to dispel the I'm .
preston. too common in the past, that
the milk inspector was the uairyman
worst enemy.
Factor in Preparedness.
That the proper supervision Of the
country's supply Of milk and milk prod
ucts is a most important item in the
propaganda of preparedness now SO
brought out by both Mr. Moran and DR..
Woodward. Preparedness has no factor
SO important as men, declared the latter,
and the milk supply OF the country plays
perhaps the most important part in the
creation OF the greatest possible number
Of strong, healthy. red-blooded men.
DR.. Woodward emphasized the close
connection OF the question of milk
supply with numerous governmental
departments which at first sight would
seem not to be greatly concerned there
In, and traced in an interesting man
ner the history of it's inspection in the
District, which began as far back as
1872, and which resulted in 1895 in
the establishment here of the first
regular, legal system along modern
lines In this country.
That the work of the association is
not only becoming more efficient, but
is approaching standard of uni
formity, was the declaration of A N.
Henderson of Seattle, Wash, in his
presidential address. Mr.. Henderson
spoke of the great advantage to be
gained by this convention in the
chances for close contact with the rep
resentatives of the federal government,
and warned the association against any
tendency to impracticability in it's
activities.
This, he said, may be prevented by
thorough discussion and digestion of
papers read and the recommendation
Of definite lines of procedure by COM
mittees appointed for the purpose.
Such a committee he strongly recon-
mended to submit a report on the bac-
THEOLOGICAL analyses of milk and the
danger of recontamination through in
complete or inferior pasteurization Mr..
Henderson also spoke of the POSSIBLE
tiles of cooperative work along child
welfare lines by the milk inspector and
the visiting nurse, and recommended
more attention paid to the products of
milk, such as condensed milk, than is
at present the case.

Not All the French Are Incorporate.

1t would be most unfair and mislead-
ing IL the reader were to get the i'm
preston that the French are intern
perate as nation. The contrary is
the case. They drink light wines and
beers with their meals and in the cities
they delight to sit about cafes in the
afternoon slipping sugared water and
mild aperitifs. One rarely sees d
drunken man in the cities or the central
part of France. But i'll the departmen
in which a brandy keg is an essential
part in the kitchen furniture. and in
which the people drink brandy with
no thought that it is harmful. g. consid-
cradle amount of drunkenness is in
evitable. The farmer who owns Il still
trades brandy to his neighbor for but
ter and eggs. Brandy drinking is d
commonplace Of existence.
In The 1907 rebellion the kitchen still
got mixed UP with states rights. too,
just as it did y our own mountains
of Kentucky and Tennessee. The law
then in force Disseminated between
the districts in which the finer brands
OF wine are made and the remainder
OF the country where win ordiuaire and
cider is the rule. The peasant did not
see-auy more than our own mountain
GERS saw-why he should not utilize his
fruit residue in the tine -honored way.
and he felt that preference was being
given the wine-growin2 regions.
Thanks to the war, those questions will
not be raised now. When the peasant
soldier returns to his farm the new
order Will have become the esta blished
rule.
This is not the only way in which
France has shown disposition to
seize the nettle of strong drink. Alb
sinthe drinking was the curse of
France two years ago. The war was
hardly under way before an order
went out restricting the drinking of
abs!nthe The next order forbade it's
sale I have tested the rule in a dozen
hotels and restaurants here. The pro-
prietor was either alarmed or indIg-
nant or humorous. but he was always
firm.
Monsieur knows that absinthe is no
longer sold in France" was his reply.
No Strong Drink for Soldiers.
Recently a rule was put In force for
bidding the sale of strong drink to SOL
diers. 1t is enforced. too. I Travelled
on q railroad train the other day with
