REPEAL THE MARRIED

Reports from some cities Indicate
that 4 few school boards have not yet

"A good teacher is needed. and maria &c

one teacher writes to the bureau of
education: Il wish to call your atten-
ton to a situation which prevails
throughout the Middle West and urge
your influence ta remedy this intus-
tice, As you know most of the large
cities viii not employ married women
as teachers n the high schools As
you also know the war department has
placed in class ! all men whose wives
are educated to earn living. Many
OF these women were teachers in the
larger high schools, These positions
are now closed to us and we must
teach in q small town--several sub

we have husbands who are giving

For the information of school boards
that may not have seen Commissioner
Claxton's statement of March s. 1918,
appealing to married teachers to return
to schools. the bureau is asking that

There are in the country scores of
thousands of persons. mostly women of
good scholarship and professional
training, who have had successful ex-

MEXICAN CONSULATE.
Something About Fine Establishment Where L. K. zabriskie is Vice Consul.


 In a special from Mexico City to a, New York paper there is the following reference to the government office where Luther K. Zabrisl1ie of Norwich is vice. consul:
 Our consulate general in the City of Mexico is the best housed United States consular establishment in the world. It occupies the mansion of Diaz's former finance minister, Liman- tour j(wfho ist1iying self-expatriated in Parss), at the junction of Avenida Juarez and the Paseo de la Reforma. It Is a magnificent white stone struc- ture built after the French style. The house was not completed when Liman- tour in 1911 fled in the train of his deposed chief and he has never seen it. White marble fioored corridors and staircases, elaborately carved and dec orated woodwork, an electric elevator and kitchen and much stained glass are some of it's features The present principal business of the City of Mex leo consulate general is issuing pass = ports, adding subtracting names from the enemy trading black and white lists and keeping tab on the German business houses and folks who try to buy merchandise in the United States to sell to the Germans. In his off hours Consul General Chamberlain writes novels and short stories They sell, too. He keeps his pipe tobacco in one of the four feet of an elephant which he shot when he was consul al Lorenzo Marquez. Portuguese East Africa. The BNIsh folkA there thought he was too kind to the German was prisoners who were rounded LII l in big detention camp at Lorenzo Marouez.

POSTMASTER MURPHY i .s
 URGES EARLIER MAILING
Delay in Delivery Due t6 Fact That Business Men Wait Until the Last Minute. s.., s.., !.

Postmaster Murphy desires to call the attentionssof the patrons of the
 local office to the rearrapgements ef- Efected, from time to time, with view
 to expediting shipments of war mate
 rial. This has resulted in a large re-
 duction in facilities available for
 transportation of the mails. This, in connection with the abnormal increase in bulk of mailings, has resulted in greatly overburdening the service dur ing some portions of the day and in delay and congestion at some points, At present it is the practice of many business men and firms. to hold prac- tically all outgoing mails until the late lafternoon or, early evening hours. This necessitates the facing, cancellation, distribution, pouching and despatching 1 of from so to- 80 per cent. of all out going mail within period of three or four hours. It is apparent that if this
 work could be distributed over 12 or 1 14 hours not only would it be handled l with greater facility but it's despatch
 would be hastened many hours.
 | Realizing fully the losses and iIi- convenience which may result to busi- ness men and other patrons because of delayed mails, the department is util-
 izins every available facility and 1 straining every nerve to. render the best service possible in the circum-
 stances. Ie is believed. that the busi- ness me nof the country can be of 1 invaluable assistance in meeting the situation, with little or no additional
 expense to themselves by making some. slight changes in their daily
 -routine.- Obviously, it is, of the utmost i'm 1nftarc hp nnGfnd 1 promptly, to secure their despatch on ithe first scheduled train, as failure to
 make a connection is now much more ii serious than in normal times and might result in a delay in delivery oi
 A hours or more.
 ' Attention is invited to the advisabil-
 ity of signing and preparing for des- patch all letters and other mail accu- [ mulating up to noon, and of mailing ! them at that time; thus a considerable quantity would be in transit to desti nation before the close of the business day.
 The bulk of the business mail i : brought to the Norwich office to b'
 despatched on the 7.10 D. m.- train con meeting at New. London for trains t < Boston and New York. Frequently thi Z train is late and as a result does mo r arrive in New London for the 8.1 Itrains and cannot be despatched iron i there until S.30 a. m. This has beer Fl the cause of inquiry being made a. | to the delay of mails and disappoint
 ment in not having orders shipped a f expected. Trains leaving this city a
 250 and 4.50 D. m. connect with mai , trains at New London, and much o
 the late mailing could be done in tim . Ifor these trains.

 Somewhere in France.
 February 1918.
 My dear Parents: Just a few lines to let you know I am well and getting along nicely and sincerely hope 10 hear the same from you all.
 l am learning very rapidly to speak French and have met quite few French soldiers who have been home on furlough and have talked with them about different things particularly on conditions at the front and some or the stories they tell are simply weirn. Well. I just happened to think thai of all the letters I have written you don't think I have given you a very good description of this place so will begin by telling you that the streets are very narrow with wine place at about every other door The houses are built of stone, but, unlike south ern Italy. they all have windows. There are some very good clothing stores and quite few people in these places talk fairly good English. Some of the people wear wooden shoes but that Is the poorer class Of course. The churches are very good, they have chairs like in Italy for which folks pay 1 two. cents each but soldiers don't have to pay. They have some parks around that must be pretty in summer. al 1 though the grass has been green since have been here. From where the l barracks are you have to go up 3 whole TOW of stone steps to get to ths l city and believe me one is almost ttrec when once the top is reached. Mos any sday you can see lot of womer ] washing clothes at a little pool of wa, 1 ter and it looks kind of funny, es, { pecially to most of the fellows wht haven't seen anything like 1t before l Fruit is rather scarce here as yol may imagine when I say that fairl. good sized apple costs five cents O 25 centimes as it is here. Now thinl that is a fairly good description o 1 thiss place.
 Now, my dear parents, there is on l thing that I would appreciate abou as much as anything I know of an' 1 that is some newspapers of home. an fsone magazines. do not care hoy 1 old they are as the date is of mino l importance.
 AS I haven't any more to say vii have to close. dear parents. with m most sincerest regard to you all. l With love.
