DECIDE SMOKE LAW
HAS A "JOKER" IN IT

Sioux City, Sept. 21.-Councilnan
John Dineen, of the public safety de-
partment, and M. X. Hartman, smoke
inspector, have at last arrived at the
conclusion that the city smoke nuts
ance ordinance is a "toothless law
and that further attempts to enforce
it would be useless.
According to Dineen and Hartman
the law contains a joker that defeats
the measure at the outset. The joker
is q specification in which owners OF
belching smoke stacks are allowed
seven minutes to belch while fires are
being started.
ARREST a man and he says he was
Just starting his fire." say Dineen and
Hartman, then where Is your prose

DELIVER MAIL IN
AUTOMOBILES NOW
POSTMASTER At EsTHERvlLLE
FEELS THAT EXPERIMENT..
Is GOING TO WORK @

Estherville, Sept. 21.-The motor
service for delivery of mail on the
rural routes out of Estherviile has now
been In effect for one week and that
the move was practical one from
efficiency as well as the financial
standpoint has been thoroughly
demonstrated, says Postmaster Frank
Carpenter, who Is making the test
here for the department. Three car.
Tiers are now making the routes by
automobile for which six carriers
were previously required, and all the
their mail as promptly as ever, and
some Of them earlier in> the day. The
carriers leave at $3.50 o'clock each
morning and are completing their
routes at around l and 1870 o'clock
and never later than o'clock p. n.
Under the old service three of the car
riers who used horse and wagon were
unable to make the routes and get
back earlier than from to 5 o'clock,
In view Of tho objections voiced by
calamity howlers and disgruntled poll
ticians prior to the change some
doubts were entertained by patrons of
the routes as to whether or not the
service could be successfully main
tanned, but after weeks trial there
is nothing in the way of an objection
that can be said in regard to the motor
routes. The government Is saving
81, 800 per year by the change. In
adopting this means Of delivery the
postoffice department has manifested
the progressive American spirit which
has kept this country at the head of
all others. Horses took the place cf
oxen, automobiles have superseded
horses in all walks Of life, and it is
ting that they should utilized ior
improving the rural delivery service. j
