DEMAND FOR FURTHER LIGHT
Connecticut Newspaper Wants TO
Know More About Buying Wom-
ems Shoes for, So a Pair.

: A Bridgeport (Conn.) paper tells It's
readers that a large manufacturing
establishment in its city is aiding it's
employees by selling shoes and coal
to the operatives at reduced rate.
Listen to this, for example: :.
Women's shoes, durable, stylish and
cheap withal, are being distributed to
workers who want them for 50 a pair.
The significance of the So price Is
seen in a comparison with ordinary
shoe price schedules. :. The shoes are
sold on two days each week and sew
eral hundred pairs still remain. -.
y AS to the coal, it is sufficient to say
that the corporation is furnishing
three carloads week to it's employees
ut $3.50 a ton, which does not strike
us as such marvel as the sale Of
shoes at So pair, but as to this we
should welcome further information.
says the Hartford Courant. II it is
possible to buy shoes at once durable
and stylish at 81, the fact has gained
precious little publicity in the last
four years, even among women. and
we should suppose that the women Of
Bridgeport would be apt to mention
the fact, to the dealers in the city.
Surely there must be men employed
by this corporation who would be glad
to find 1t dealing in footwear for them,
inasmuch as mere man will need shoes
within a month or so at the best. Why
not sell them durable and stylish
shoes at, say, $47 We shall watch the
further development of this plan with
some INTEREST," ,"':

A total of 34,9S7 pieces Of registered

The parcel post has increased steadily
and a motorcycle and van have been added
to the Office equipment for delivery of the
incoming parcels. 1t is hoped eventually
to have motor truck. to take care of tins
work. A motorcycle also has been added
to replace the horse and vehicle on the
mounted carrier route when weather con-
ditions permit.
The number of parcel post packages in

in the methods of settling claims for the
loss or damage to insured packages has
gone into effect recently which is expected
to expedite settlement and to make the
insurance service more attractive to ship
peers. Heretofore the claims have been
sent to the department at Washington and
a certain amount of delay in payment has
been unavoidable. Under the new regu-
lations these claims will be paid directly
by postmaSters at the first and second
class offices upon completion Of proof of
loss sor damage. This rule applies to par
cels mailed on or after Dee. -, 1920.
Among the many important acts passed
by congress in recent years bearing on fine
postal service are the Employees Compen-
sation Act. granting compensation to all
classified government employees injured in
the line of duty; the Reconsideration Act,
granting increased pay to all postal EN-
ployes, and the Retirement Act, granting
pensions to all classified government EN-
ployes who reach a specified age go years
in the case of postofice clerks and car
riers) and who have been in the govern
ment service not less than i years. The
pension given is graded according to
length of service, running from a mini
mum of 10 years and reaching the maxi
mum at 30 years. Any postofice clerk
or carrier who has been employed 80 years
or more in the government classified ser
vice is eligible to retirement with pen
sion of S720 a year upon reaching the
age of So. A deduction of 21a per cent is
