Postmaster w R. jackson expects
to take immediate action toward car
rying out the advice Of Postmaster
General Will H. Hays that houses be
properly numbered and receptacles be
provided for mail at all residences.
Postmaster Jackson will take the
matter up with Mayor Gallaher, the
street and alley committee and will
try to interest the Chamber of Com
merce, the Rotary Club and other or
CARNATIONS in Mexico in seeing that
these things be done.
A survey shows that 40 per cent of
the houses here are without correct
numbers; only 10 per cent of the bus
mess houses have any numbers at all;
and less than 20 per cent of the street
names are properly displayed.
Mexico is growing Sc large that the
houses must be properly numbered to
facilitate the distributing of the mail
The average number of letters which
go through this p~ostoffice each day
which have to be referred from one
clerk to another or taken to the dir
ectory clerk because of incorrect ad-
dress is at least one hundred and
fifty.
The street and alley committee
have assured their cooperation in the
movement to have the houses lettered
property here and will provide lei
whereby the means for doing this
may be obtained from the postmas-
ter.

"B0YS" IN HAVANA HOLD
 "SlDEWALK" BANQUET
By Associated Press


 Havana, June l1.--A sidewalk banquet" was one of the features of the post-inauguration ceremonies attended by President Alfredo Zayas It was given by an organization known as The Boys of the Louvre Sidewalk" group accustomed to meet daily under the portico in fron. Of building formerly occupied by the Hotel Lovre.
 The hotel no longer exists, nor are the members of the organization any longer boys, but they still gather at the old meeting place, which fronts on Central park.
 Far from devoting all their time to ogling women passersby, the boys" engage in heated debates on questions of the day and outline the political attitude they will assume Since they come from among the best families of the capital, their influence is not inconsiderable, nor do they lack for publicity.
