VALENTINE PRACTICE
DYING SLOW DEATH
Noticeable Decrease i'm Amount Sent
Each Year. Says Postal
Official.

Cupid's darts and the old spirit Of
chivalry appear 10 be things of the
past if the decrease in the mailing
of valentines signifies anything. on
Tuesday and Wednesday about 1000
or 5000 valentines of all shapes and
sizes were handled by the local post
office. d marked decrease in the mail
of former years.
According TO Walter l. Henderson,
superintendent of mails, a drop has
been noticed every year for the past
10 years. When asked the reason
for this, Mr.. Henderson said. The
valentine idea is now confined almost
entirely to the schools, each grade
in the city schools having their own
valentine boxes"
The greater part of the valentines
handled in the local postoffice are
decorated postal cards with the
days greetings and appropriate in
sigma Of Cupid. The large size
valentines have gone into the dis
card.
