WOMEN TO DELIVER
MAIL IN PARIS SOON

Paris, March 17.-Women letter car
riers will soon be delivering mail in
Paris. This method will be an exper-
iment, and preference will be given to
wives of soldiers.
Doubt has been expressed as to
whether the women will be able to
shoulder the wooden box that the Paris
postmen carry without being too great
ly fatigued. The boxes now are well
filled, since several mail deliveries
have been consolidated with others.
Sometimes also, the mail from the
United States is SO heavy as greatly
to increase the weight of the boxes.
Recently women tried to replace the
postmen at Neuilly, suburb of Paris,
but they lasted only three days.

HUSBAND WASHED,
IRONED AND COOKED
But He Left a Weeks Wash
ing and Wife at Last.

New York, March ia week ago
George Fisher turned his back upon a
whole washtubful of clothes, wiped the
suds from his arms and told his wife
Theresa that he was through-positive-
ly. Then, utterly disregarding the whole
weeks ironing to be done the next
night. he picked up his hat and de-
parted from their home, at 232 East
Eighty eighth street, to search for the
thick. juicy porterhouse for which he
had longed for two whole years.
There was the glitter of freedom in
Georges eye when he faced Magistrate
Harris in the Domestic Relations court
him on a charge OF non-support. In
Vulnerable porterhouses, after a diet of
delicatessen food, had fed the insur-
gency in his breast into steady flame.
DO I want to go back to herr" he
repeated. Il should say not. For two
years l gave her my pay envelope each
week, and l did all the Homework be-
sides. All she did was feed me on
delicatessen grub. I'm through"
Wife Was the Boss.
According to the story which he
then related at much length, the Fish
ers' bark of matrimony had sailed
along for two years with the lady as
captain and George as cook, dish
| washer, laundress and housecleaner as
well as wage Garner.
Mrs. Fishers self-imposed duties, he
told the magistrate, were to open the
pay envelope, kick because there
wasn't more in it and send him out to
the delicatessen store when he said he
was hungry. And all this while Fish
er fought with his craving for porter
| house.
Il couldn't buy it for myself, your
HONOR he said. Il didn't have any
money. l asked her to get it, and she
didn't When it was supper time she
| went out to the delicatessen. So quit.
No upright, human man could do any,
thing else"--
You are talking a great DEAL" the
magistrate suggested. why don't you
say what you have to say and sit
DOWN.
Your honor" George said earnestly,
i've talked more in the last ten min
yates than l have before in two years.
' When l was living with my wife l
didn't have chance"
George Goes Ahead.
IF that's the case," said Magistrate
Harris go ahead and enjoy yourself"
And George did. When he had con-
cluded Mrs. Fisher was asked If his
charges We're true.
I Well" she hesitated, he did do
most OF the work. but l guess that
did some'
The court adjourned the case for a
month, advising the couple to study the
advantages Of corporation and see ii
they couldn't find a basis Of agree
ment. Meanwhile he instructed the
man to pay his wife SO a week for the
support of their child. a nine-months-
old baby.

BARRED BY NEW RULE
Football Committee Reports
On Changes in Grid

NO MULTIPLE KICK

hidden; Minor Amend
ments Adopted.
NO MULTIPLE KICK

New York, March 17.-New regu-
iations to curb the carrying of instruc-
uons from the side lines and the
elimination of the field goal from a
multiple kick formation are the out
standing features of the new rules
adopted by the football rules commit
tee for the 1917 season. The commit
tee at its annual session. which closed
here today, instructed the secretary to
prepare corrections and additions to
the code to cover the following
changes:
Substitutes Can't Talk.
A substitute player entering the
game must not speak to any other
player on the field until after the
Dali has been put into play; in case
any change in the positions OF the
players is necessary the incoming sub
stitute must give information through
the referee. In case the substitute
takes the place of the regular PLAYER
giving signals he may give the signals
Tor the next play, but cannot speak to
any player until after the ball is put
into play. The penalty for violation
OF this rule is the loss of Is yards
The new addition to the code. makes
IL discretionary with the referee
whether or not penalty shall be i'm
posed when the incoming substitute
fails to report but does not interfere
with the play or speak to the players
prior to the ball being put into play.
Bar Multiple Kick.
1t was further ruled that goal from
the field could only be scored by a
place kick or drop kick, and the fact
was emphasized that place kick is
to be made with the ball resting upon
the ground. which would appear to
bar the use of multiple kick forma-
tons as now in vogue, as the ball is
held suspended few inches above the
ground when kicked The use of ar
u1lclal tees for kick off at the be-
ginning of periods also was barred.
Other Changes.
Other changes include the giving of
the ball to the offended side where
there is illegal Interference with the
player receiving forward pass at the
point where the foul is committed. In
case the foul is committed behind the
goal line, the ball goes to the offended
team on the vineyard line. A penalty
OF five yards will be imposed in the
future for running into the kicker and
10 yards and disqualification for
roughing. the penalties to be imposed
from the point where the ball was put
into play
The referee is also cmpoworea tn
permit the substitution of now ball
IN play on a wet field at the end of
the second period at his discretion.
