things has happened: The safe was
hauled away on the truck and later
loaded on another truck to be carried
away; was opened the night of the
robbery and thrown into the river or
has been placed in hiding. Which?
The postofice department has been
trying an experiment covering sew
era1 weeks. Formerly when papers
we're mailed at New York or other
city, an effort was made to hurry
them through. They were not allowed
to accumulate in the large centers
like Chicago, but pushed on, the same
as letters and other frst-class mail.
Under the present arrangement if
the papers are not all thrown into the
proper pouches before a terminal is
reached, they are dumped into one of
the large Offices and worked at Ieis-
ure. If your paper does not come
from distance as promptly as it
should, just imagine it lying in large
heap in some central Office. This ar
rangement may be fine for those con-
nected with the railway mail service.
but it is not so delightful for those
who expect papers at a certain time
to peruse about the family fireside.

order to produce whiteness, were for
warded to the department of agrcul-
ture on Sunday by Miss Florence
