three or four years before the card
was delivered. The card bore evil
dences of hard usage, but no other
sign to show where it had been or
what had been its history during the
seventeen years.
An interesting problem in mathe.
mates was propounded by Capt. John
Brickley of the East Boston police
station when he received a post card
on January 8, 1917. which looked as
though II had been through the Euro
pean war.
The post card arrived at the Brick
ley home on Mystic street, Charles
town. 1t had been mailed at the Es-
sex street post office, Boston, few
days before Easter in April, 1909, by
Harry A. Brickley, the police captains
son.
The problem was: If it takes a
post card almost eight years to go
from the Essex street station, Boston.
TO Charlestown, how long would 1t
take Il to go across the country?
Whether Mr.. Brickley ever had the
problem solved to his satisfaction is
not known.

to cross the Hudson River. 1t was
received by Miss Georgiana Seaman of
40 Bayne street, Jersey City. Natu-
rally Miss Seaman was puzzled at the
strange arrival. The letter was post
marked New York city. December 10.
1919. $3.50 p. NJ. The Jersey City post
mark was June is, 1917. $3.50 a. NJ.
And what grieved Miss Seaman more
than anything else was that no eX-
planat.on was forthcoming from the
postal authorities.
Neither was any explanation given
when a letter mailed in Missouri in
1864 finally reached its address in
Kansas in 1917. This letter was mailed
at Ridgeley, Platte county, Mo, by
A. p. Collins, an uncle of Peter Otinger
Of McLought, Kan. The date of mail
ing was March Is, 1864, fifty-three
years before it was finally delivered
Where 1t had been in the meantime
Otinger was unable to learn, but he
did find out that 1t had been sent 10
Denver, where he was at that time.
A few weeks before Otinger received
the letter 1t appeared at Lawrence,
Kan, where 1t was taken from the post
office by Otinger's nephew, George
Otinger, who mailed It to his uncle in
McIought.

Speaking about fifty year old let
ters, there is the case of one which
after lapse of fifty years was deliv-
cred to Comptroller General William
a. Wright at Atlanta, Ga. The letter
was written TO him when he was a
prisoner OF war in 1864.
Gen: Wright. then a Lieutenant. mas
in prison at Johnson's Island, Ohio,
with Col. Clairburn Snead of the Third
Georgia Gen. Wril was transferred
from Johnson's Island to Point Look
cut. Maryland, whence he was to be
exchanged back into the Confederacy
The boat on which he was to have left
Point Lookout. however, was crowded
and he was forced to remain at the
Point. From there he wrote letter
to his comrade, Col. Snead.
In answering this letter Col. Snead
entrusted the letter to Capt. Beal, who
in 1917 was so years old and living
in Putnam, Ga, and who was at that
time being transferred from Johnson's
Island to Point Lookout Before Capt.
Beal arrived at the latter place, how
ever, Gen. Wright had been exchanged.
Several days before the letter was
delivered in 1917 Capt. Beal was going
through some papers and found the
letter and he Immediately forwarded It
to Gen. Wright.
In March of the present year Mr..
Kenneth Brown. writing to THE SUN

TINE SUN recently recounted the
strange and interesting wan
derings of a letter mailed by
an officer in the Brooklyn Navy Yard
to the Office OF the Third Naval Dis
trict headquarters at $50 Broadway.
Ordinarily one could cover the distance
between the two points in about
twenty Ihinutes by trolley, but the let
ter wandered around the world, cover
ing approximately $4,000 miles in its
travels before it was finally returned
to its sender.
Let us not be too hasty in criticising
the postal service merely on account
of the wanderings of this one letter.
Other cases on record put this one to
shame. 1t is curious fact that most
Of them came to light IN 1917.
Take the case of the post card that
moved a mile a year. 1t was mailed
from Newark in 1907 by the mother OF
Dorothy Collins when the latter was
visiting her uncle, Oscar Carter, at
Livingston, N. ]. Livingston Is only
ten miles LTOul NeWdIh, puI IL NOoh tAic
card ten years to cover the space.
One can imagine Mr.. Carriers sur
prise when the postman delivered the
card. Dorothy had left his place many
years before and Mr. Carter was per-
picked until he looked at the post
mark and found that the card had
been mailed at Newark on September
10, 1907; p. NJ. Another postmark
read: Newark, N. j., March 7, 1917
The natural conclusion was that the
card had been lying somewhere in. the
post ONCE at Newark for ten years

prise Mr.. Carter took the card &c

I'D girl who was child when the card

WASHINGTON. July /. - Determine
ton of the "drys" on the Judiciary
Committee Of the House to reverse
their former action and report out as
a separate measure war time prohi-
bition enforcement bill was the imme-
date reflection in the House OF the
situation created by the decisions in
favor OF permitting traffic in 2.75 per
cent. alcoholic beverages handed down
by New York and Maryland courts
and OF the attitude of the Attorney
General as n result Of these decisions.
AT the earliest opportunity following
the recess of Congress the 'drys" will
report out the separate measure in the
expectation that It can be rushed
Though the House in a weeks time
and be ready for the Presidents sig
nature within o. fortnight, giving the
Attorney General the weapon he needs
to enforce war time prohibition against
all beverages containing more than
half of per cent. alcohol.
This decision was reached after con-
ferences among Representative Nolstead
(Minn), chairman of tho judiciary Com
mittee; Majority Leader Mondell
(Wyo.) and several members of the
Senate. Mr.. Mondell told Mr.. volstead
that In the event of separate war
time prohibition measure being re.
reported out, a special rule would be
Forthcoming giving It precedence over
all other legislation.
Whether the "wets" on the commit
tee. who three times attempted to have
u separate measure reported out. will
also be reversed is not clear. The de-
cisions OF the courts coming to the aid
OF supporters OF beer ard light wines
seemed for n while to offer these COM
modities new lease, In view OF the
certainty that numerous attempts to
amend the drastic constitutional prohi-
bition title Of the Nolstead bill would
prevent early enactment OF, the accom-
panying war time prohibition title in
the same measure.
How strenuous will be the opposition
to the new move which seeks early to
terminate this respite is problematical.
That any opposition along this line in
the House would be OF little effect in de-
laying matteris Is obvious In view OF the
threat OF a special rule Immediately upon
the reconvening Of Congress next Tues
day.
Notice that the wartime prohibition
measure would have first call on the at
tention OF the House after the recess was
served by Majority Leader Mondell to-
day, when permission was given the Ju-
dietary Committee minority to ale its re-
port any time before next Monday but
with the understanding that failure TO
file such n report would not operate as
an obstacle to early consideration OF the
war time prohibition measure.

HALF OF CHICAGOS
SALOONS ARE OPEN
State LdD Declared to, Make
Illinois Dry.

CHICAGO, July despite the decision
OF AttorneyGeneral Palmer not to act
against 2% per cent alcoholic beer as
intoxicating at present Illinois to-day
was made entirely dry by State Attor-
ney-General Brundage's Interpretation Of
the recently enacted State search and
seizure. law. The latter, Mr.. Brundage
held, was In full effect. 1t defines in
toxicatlng liquor as containing not more
than one-half of per cent. alcohol.
Chicago authorities tonight accepted
the Brundage opinion, but with reserva-
ton. Corporation Counsel Ettelson ad-
vised the chief Of police TO observe the
interpretation unless and until other
wise advised"
More than one-half of Chicago's 5000
saloons remained open to-day, but the
Brundage opinion was regarded as a Sc
we're blow. Only one violation of war
time prohibition was reported to the
Federal District-Attoreny. IN a few
cases saloon keepers were said to be
selling whiskey and beer, but evidence
against them was not In the hands Of
the police.
Confusion had relgned because the
Federal District-Attorney- had said pro-
seeution for selling az per cert. beer
would not be begun, though the Illinois
search and seizure act prohibited sale
of beer of more than one half of per
cent. OF alcoholic content. Some liquor
men believed the State law did not III
clude wet territory, but only that terri
tory previously dry. The act, however
defined prohibition territory as that
made dry by municipal. State or Federal
law, and Mr.. Brundage therefore re.
ferred to the Federal wartime prohi
bition act In his opinion.
