GRIFFITH
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Redfsortaf


outdoor exercise is as necessary for
pupil as studies. Exercise. perhaps
more than anything. rests the mind
and nerves.
School teachers should encourage
and help pupils obtaining outdoor ex-
ercise. l think that pupils in ordinary
schools should be compelled To 90 ont
side AZ recess unless absolutely i'm
possible. 1t IL also a good thing for
schools to have a playground which
should be nxed so that a variety of
games may be played. In this way
the cnildren will have more chances
10 enter into the games.
Continuous study without exercise
makes the mind fatigued so that the
pupil cannot concentrate unon nartic-
ular things. This may In time also
cause breakdown in the health of the
pupil Sometimes the result of tnis Is
nervous prostration.
Sometimes some pupils will get
troublesome because OF continual work
while II they get a relief they will
think better OF school, thereby gaining
Tor them better education.

Congress will not agree to any re-

LEWIS GUN
(By Associated Press.)

L 81
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Official con-
demnation Of the Lewis machine gun,
extensively purchased for the British
and Canadian armies is expressed in a
formal statement issued by Secretary
Baker assuming full responsibility for
the action of the war department with
respect to the much discussed weapon
and directing that the controversy
among army officers over it cease.
Whatever responsibility attaches
to the condemnation of this gun as a.
service gun belongs to the war de-
partment," the statement asserts. "and
not to the chief of ordnance or the
ordnance department. The proceedings
of the boards which tested the rifle
have been in each case duly approved
by the secretary Of war"
The statement shows that the in
spector general was directed to in
vestigate the whole matter of the
| treatment of the Lewis gun, named
| after it's inventor, a former army Of
flcer, when 'the controversy reached
the stage where open letters from
high-ranking army officers were pub
| lished." board of officers already
had agreed with previous boards that
the gun was not suitable for extensive
purchase for the army.
The inspector generals conclusions
| are reported in the statement. In addi-
ton to the two paragraphs already
quoted he finds no official record that
| Colonel Lewis ever offered his gun in
! any way to the United States govern
| ment. that the American Arms COM
| pany in 1913 made the only offer Of
| 100 guns at 81 900 each with license
| for government manufacture on a roy
atty basis, that tests Of the gun were
| conducted by regularly constituted
| boards; that the Savage Arms COM
pany in April of this year wrote Gen
eral Crozier, chief of ordnance, ex-
pressing entire satisfaction with the
work Of the last board; that the guns
failure to pass into endurance test
caused it's exclusion from field tests;
and finally that
| The record do not show any hos
tility on the part of General Crozier or
the ordnance department to the Lewis
gun. but show that the department by
direction of it's chief, afforded the
owners of the gun every possible fac
ility in placing it before the testing

Big VALUE
IN LETTERS
UNCLAIMED
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Dec. 1S.--More than
S2,25O,0OO worth of checks, drafts.
money orders, and other valuable pa
pers were found in unbelievable letters
by the dead letter Office during the last
year and practically all were restored
to their owners. First Asst. P. M. Gen.
Daniel c. Roper in his annual report
announces that the dead letter division
handled 10,S39.S90 letters and parcels
during the year, q slight increase over
the previous year. One-third of these
letters, and parcels, or S,677,194 was de-
ffvered; 101,4S contained things of
value without clue to their senders and
were held for claimants; 7,01S,436 had
to be destroyed and 41.775 were still be-
ing Investigated. -..
. In addition to the valuable PAPERS
with face value of $2,303,119 found in
unbelievable letters, many contained
stamps and some currency was found
S1se in the mails The stamps and
ceeds from the sale of articles of mer-
chandise removed from unbelievable
letters, aggregated $53,665 and $11, 900
was realized from six months opera
tion of a new postal regulation requir-
ing collection of 1 cent on advertised
letters, making the total net revenue
$64,665. Mr.. Roper says that the reve-.
for a year would be approximately
$4,000, which would make the dead let
ter division self-sustaining.
To prevent the unnecessary accumu-
ldLiOH OI lOlItTS CONTAINING Valuable IN
closures, a provision was contained in
the last postal appropriation law reduc-.
ing the limit of time that such letters
shall be held awaiting reclamation from
four years to two years. The postoff1ce
department has decided to discontinue
the final disposition of dead parcels by
the postoffices at Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land. Such matter formerly going to
Pittsburgh will be sent to New York
city, while that in Ohio, formerly going
to Cleveland, will be sent to Cincinnati,
and matter from the southern peninsula
of Michigan will go to Chicago.
On account of the large growth in
the parcel post business, experience
has demonstrated that the accumulation
of this matter at the points designated
| for handling dead parcels has become
so large as to make 1t difficult to find
space for it's accommodation. Regula-
tions provide, in the case of insured
| parcels, that claims for indemnity must
| be filed within six months, and 1t has
been found there is very little call for
| lost parcels after the lapse of that time.
| Accordingly an order will be issued
amending the regulations so as to re-
duce the time for holding such parcels
prior to sale from twelve to six months.
Last year 395,161 parcels were found
unbelievable.
Dead mail received by the division
of dead letters during the year contain
| ed 677,700 misdirected letters, 1876
unaddressed letters, 228,700 letters held
| for postage, 440,200 letters written on
hotel letter paper by persons unknown
to the hotels and 104,700 letters bearing
| fictitious signatures.
