ian Missing. waiter at the Allyn

his right foot and went to DIR. Daniel

foot while bathing at Chapman beach

himself and it finally healed over. But
the pain persisted Physicians advised
painting with iodine Missing did this
for three years, and when the pain did
not subside went Ito DR. Sullivan.

Increase In Stamp Sale Taken
 As Fair Indication That Business
 Conditions Are Slowly Improving

Governor Lake in his speech at Pleasure Beach yesterday told the members of the Chamber of Com merce that Banks were beginning to loosen up and that buyers were be
 ginning to nibb1e at orders As post office receipts are considered by many to be a fair barometer of business conditions postmaster Charles F. Greene stated today that the indica,- tions at the Bridgeport office are that there is a decided increase in the sale of stamps and matter mailed under permit. While there was a slump in May which made it seem that business during 1921 was going to run far be- hind that during the year ending Dec. 31, 1920; there has been a grad ua1 increase for the better. Amend
 ed reports today show that during the first six months of this year, this city, posta1wise, failed to equal the first six months in 1920, it's banner year, by a trif1e over four an three-tenths per cent. The receipts of the first six months in 1920 were s323,746, and this year they were $30S,815.
 Returns for the month of July in
 dicate that if this year falls behind 1920 it will be by only a small marg- in, as the daily receipts are averaging better than $1.S00. While there is always a falling off in the volume of first class mail during the vacation months the receipts are holding up because of the fact that many man ufacturers are becoming convinced

Sim Fein Chiefs COnferriug Among
 Themselves SecretZU

London, July 27-With the Sim Fein chieftains conferring among themselves in secret at Dublin, the opinion was advanced in semi-off1cial circles today, that Premier Lloyd George will not receive a formal re- ply to his peace offer from Eammon De Valera until Friday.
 It will then be necessary to com nnunicate with the Unionists govern ment at Belfast
 If conditions are such that gen era1 Irish peace barley can be held in London, it probably will open dur ing the first ten days of August De Valera, Arthur Griffith, Michael Col lins and the other members of the have been conferring daily since Sun day, have maintained the utmost secrecy and have given no intimation as to their decision.
 British officials are hopeful the Sim Feiners will adopt a conciliatory at titude now that they have given up their demand for an Irish republic. It Is believed the Irish will not insist upon their right to maintain an army and navy but will content themselves with sR Irish police force
 The Unionists of South Ireland, who are already in accord with the Repub- lcians, have been carrying on con- versations with the Ulster Unionists and there seems to be ground for the belief that they have reached an agree ment of some kind

Harvey To Talk On Yap
 Mandate

Washington, July 27-Ambassador George Harvey is fully prepared to discuss the question of mandate over the Island of Tap, if it should be brought up at the forthcoming meeting of the Supreme Council, it was learned officially today.
 The Ambassador has been apprised of every detail of the administrations attitude toward the conference and is authorized to conduct negotiations for this government in case of any of the Allied premiers sees fit to attempt to bring about a settlement. It is un- likely however, that Colonel Harvey will himself urge consideration of the Tap problem as conversations are now in progress in on the subject be- tween Secretary of State Hughes and Ambassador Shidehara and these negotiations are proceeding in a satis- factory manner.

that circular letters, booklets, and catalogues in volume are excellent means of becoming acquainted with folks whom they want to have handle their goods, to say nothing of the boI- stering up of advertising appeals made to the general public by the distributors of the merchandise.
 The postmaster said that if it had not been for the slump during the month of May, the local post office would not have known there was any 1essening in the volume of mail of the first class. The parcel post ship ments from this city, dispatched in sacks, outside boxes, and cartons; averages 6650 to 700 sacks per day. This is the heaviest summer business ever experienced here, being equal in volume to the Christmas rush period a few years ago.
 The employees of the Bridgeport post office are very much pleased with the volume of business and are watching the situation with keen terest, as last years showing this city into a class with New and Hartford. and a falling few thousand dollars would hack into a. lower grade.
