of territory in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
and West Virginia. On the Pacltc
coast routes will be established be-
tween San Francisco and Sacramento,
Cal, via Stockton and Fruitdale, dis
tance of 125 miles, and between Red
lands and Los Angeles Cal, via on
tario and Pomona, Cal, distance of
76 miles.
1t is the belief of the post office de-
partment that the operation of these
routes, and others to be established,
will materially aid in the distribution
and in lowering the cost Of food prod
uctS.
The existing law does not provide
for the employment of government
owned mOtortrucks or rural delivery
routes, nor does it require the rural
carriers to use mOtorvehicles.
In the star route service, however,
where the mail is carried under CON
tract, IL recent law permits the post
Office department to designate the sort
of vehicles to be employed, and in
awarding new contracts the depart
ment will specify that mOtOrtrucks
shall be employed on all routes where
the roads are such as to admit of their
use These contracts are advertised
FOR bidders, and where payment asked
for the service is deemed to be excess
sive the department is authorized to
provide government-Owned motor
T., ,1,,i,r e., n
operation of these routes.
A further extension of the employ
ment Of government-Owned mOtOrve-
hicles by its adoption for the parcel
post service Of the rural routes, will
be made whenever congress enacts
law now pending for that purpose.
Operating under the law as it now
stands as applied to the star route
service, mOtortruck routes, some un-
der contract and some operated with
government-owned mOtortrucks, are in
process of establishment as follows:
New York city to Port Jervis, n. Y.
via Belleville, Montclair and Dover, N.
j., a distance each way of Sc miles;

FRICTION IN FAMILY IS FATAL

is friction in the family. Young people
are by nature loyal to their parents
and it is almost never that q young
person will give as reason for his
leaving home the fact that his father
and mother quarreled or nag at each
other or do not agree upon certain
points.
Friction in the home creates an in
tangible, impalpable atmosphere in
which the sensitive child chokeS and
pants for the free air of happiness,
or is warped and stunted mentally and
morally.
