The Woman Letter Carrier Arrives
And Defies the Gale to I Ialt Her
Ten Begin Work in City-Scon "Conductofesses Who
Powder Noses and Work Indoors and Cheerfully
Brave the Biting Wind

And now comes the "lady" letter
carrier! Ten young postwomen, the
first in America, trudgod from Office
building to Office building in uptown
New York yesterday, delivering mail.
The wind blew a forty-mile gale and
the thermometer was flirting with
zero. but the feminine mail carriers
were undaunted. They enjoyed it i'm
mensely.
at is no easy, ladylike job to lug
bag loaded with five to fifteen pounds
of mail right in the teeth of cold

Viva X. Hawley, | Convent Avenue.
"Of course. we don't wear high-heeled
shoes, and soon we are 70 have short,
uniform skirts, which will make II
easier, but the hardships are nothing
at all compared to what the soldiers
suffer in the trenches"
The new postwomen glory in the
fact that their work is strenuous and
out-of doors. They regard the newly
installed women conductors on the
broadway streetcars as leading a
sheltered life.
No Powder for Them
"The women conductors tell how
they powder their noses and all that"
said Mrs. Hawley, scornfully, but
powder won't stay on a postwoman's
nose. We are doing q strong mans
work. War has given US the chance

State Can Forbid
Private Liquor

WASHINGTON. Dec. TO-. With de-
cision upholding the Idaho prohibition
law. the Supreme Court to-day gave an
opinion which may be one Of the most
farreaching victories for "bonc-dry"
prohibition yet recorded.
Il was held that a citizen has no con
stitutioral right 20 possess liquors for
his personal use II state wishes TO
forbid il.
Justice McRoynolds. who gave the
courts opinion, held that a state "has
power absolutely TO prohibit manufact-
ure, gift, purchase, sale or transporta-
tion of intoxicating liquors within its
borders without violating the constitu-
tion.
1--WE further think" lie added, "it
clearly follows from our numerous de-
cisions upholding prohibition legisla-
tion, that the right to hold intoxicating
liquors for personal use Is not one OF
those fundamental privileges OF citi-
zen Of the United States which no
state may abridge. A contrary view
would be incompatible with the un-
doubted power TO prevent manufacture,

Child Welfare In
War Time Planned

WASHINGTON, Dee. 10.-Public pro-
lection for young children and mothers,
the safeguarding Of children from
premature labor and oyerwork, and
decent home conditions through ade-
ouate income for fathers so that
mothers will not have TO go out to work
is the wartime programme for child
welfare announced to-day in the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Department Of
Labor in its annual report.
SURVEYS conducted by the bureau
show that the chance of the life of the
baby grows appallingly less as the
fathers earnings grow smaller. Infant
mortality among 1900 babies in eight
representative cities were studied. They
showed that in families where the
fathers earned less than 5000 a year
every sixth baby died, while in families
where the fathers income was $1,000
or more only one baby in sixteen died:
"The disoreanization o. social and
