Want NUMBERS
ON ALL HOUSES
Check-Up Also on Homes
That Have No Mail
Receptacles
START TOMORROW
TO GATHER DATA

Postmaster English today asked
householders Of Wilmington to CO.
operate with the postoffice depart
ment in the census to start tomorrow
TO learn how many houses in will
mington are unnumbered and how
many have no receptacles or slots
for mail that is delivered. The tabu-
lation will be taken by letter carriers
in Wilmington as part of the plan
announced recently by Postmaster
General Hays to throw out a drag
net inquiry covering the entire
United States. When II is handed in
he will know just how many resi-
dences and business houses there
are in every city and village that are
not numbered and that have no re-
ceptacles. either in the form of door
slots or boxes. accessible to mail de-
livery. He will know. furthermore,
30 far as that knowledge is obtain
able, the names OF those occupying
such premises.
All the letter carriers in every
State in the Union will be on the job
and Postmaster English and the Will
mington force are ready to do their
part. When their reports are in and
digested the Post Office Department
will communicate with the persons
indicated. calling their attention to
the handicap to safe and speedy mail
delivery which the omission OF the
receptacle and street number may
entail.
In the aggregate the lmpediment
to efficient mail service from this
cause alone is undoubtedly formida-
BILE, it is contended. The absence
OF receptacles is a boon to mail
thieves. The absence OF street num-
bers starts a considerable mass Of
mail matter on wanderings which
frequently result in disappearance.
The postmaster-gen has already
attached to cancellation stamps the
legend Address Your Mail to Street
and Number" But IL there is no
street number how can mail be so
addressed2 Is the query that is to
be put up to residents.
IL Is believed, though, that most
houses in Wilmington are numbered.
and little trouble is experienced from
that cause in the delivery Of mail.
Comparatively few houses in VIII
mington have mail receptacles or
slots in the door to receive mail,
however.

they do anything for no other rea-
son than to obtain happiness" he
said. 1T used to be that happiness
was a step-chnd OF which most
people were ashamed.
They seemed to think that hap
piness was dangerous or disgraceful.
The church encouraged this / re-
member when l was a boy how
associated goodness with duliness,
for I heard constantly such hymns
as this; Every Day VIII Be Sunday

said he hoped to have the building
