The most interesting thing
about the experiment has been the
discovery that the hostesses en-
joyed the visits as much as the
guests.
Almost without exception the
sailor boys were appreciative, re-
sponsive, and entirely at their
ease. They talked, and talked sur

their hostesses the new world Of
life on warships. They were tact
full, enthusiastic, and grateful.
Incidentally, one hostess discov-

Such is the in formation given out by the local man ager. who also states that a 10 per cent raise will be effected in the near future. There has not been much change since the consolidation of sev- eral weeks ago Manager Mckinney states. no apparent difference save standardization and simplification Of bookkeeping Formerly, the accounts of the various express companies were separated from each other, as well. as those relating to railroads in various sections of the country, but now all go together. The consolidation is for the purpose of routing more directly and thus saving time on shipments. Prior to the consolidation, the three express companies used to choose their own routings.
