URGES BRANCH P. 0. IN
DEPARTMENT BUILDING
o. c. Luxford Suggests Use Of Old
Office to Settle Eagle Hut
Controversy.
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 tne h0ltor OF Inc Star:
There has been much printers ink
and space used in connection with a
station of the city post Office at or
near the Center market, but after
reading the article in your paper of
the 5th instant I cannot resist giving
vent to few ideas of my own on this
subject.
Once upon a time our city post offics
was located in what Is known as the
Post Office Department building
Pennsylvania avenue between 11th
and 18th streets northwest, and when
that building was vacated for the
station a large. well lighted floor
space with all necessary windows for
transaction Of business was left be-
hind.
Business Mems Plea.
The business concerns in the vicinity
OF the old site of the city post office.
backed by some of the citizens asso-
department to establish a branch or
station in the space left vacant and to
furnish postal facilities to those per-
sons having nearby offices and places Of
business. but the men having power to
decide said mo" They did, however,
condescend to rent space in a store on
11th street. square and half north
Of the old site. and established a sta
ton there at rental that might have
been saved. After the old space was
vacated 1t was filled up with old flles
and junk that might well have been
placed in some attic supplied with
artificial light. Picture all of this well
lighted floor space given over to files
and storage!
Later on large portion of this
dancing space. moving pictures. etc.
for the recreation of those employed
in the Post Office Department. In the
meantime, however. the public's
money is being spent for the space on
1ith street. and some two thousand
odd dollars for space in the Eagle Hut.
This gives rise to the question as to
whether the claim of efficiency and
economy Is well founded.
Suggestion to Postmaster.
Postmaster Chance is now trying to
retain space in the Eagle Hut or secure
other space in the immediate vicinity,
and has made his appeal to 1000" for
assistance: ass n. Why does he not apply to
quandary? They can. II they so wish,
with few pen strokes, right the whole
question by establishing a branch post
office in the former city post Office
quarters. This will save money and
Will prove boon to those merchants
and citizens near 11th street and Penn
sylvania avenue. It is only two short
blocks from Eagle Hut to the old site.
and 1t Is only one and a half blocks
from the present branch station on
11th street. and one can hardly COM
plain OF having to go two blocks to a
post Office.
It will probably be distastefu1 to the
omcials Of the p. o. D. to have to
back up" on their former decision
but it IL their duty to do SO.

even Joe Bell couldn't keep him in
his administration"

To Remove First
Signs of Old Age

THE infallible first sign of age is
the sagging cheek muscles says
Nine. Cavalieri, whose fame as
beauty culturist is scarcely less than
that as songstress. "These are more
difficult and serious to treat than
wrinkles" she continues. The sag
ging muscles indicate they have grown
too weak to remain in place; they
must be assisted, strengthened"
The best way to strengthen them is
by bathing the face in simple lotion
made by dissolving an ounce of pure
powdered saxolite in a half pint of
witch hazel. This creates freer cir
culation to the parts, besides causing
muscles and skin to contract SaXO-
lite, procurable at every drug store,
has long been known by complexion
specialists to possess marka bic
tonic and astringent properties, valu-
able in treating f1abby tissue and
wrinkle s.-Advertisement.
