POSTMASTER IRWIN INsTRUcTS
LETTER POSTMEN TO
START WORK.
Step Is Part Of Nationwide Service
improvement Program Of p. NJ.
General Hays.

Postmaster W. ". Irwin stated to an
InteIligenccr reporter last evening
that all plans have been completed
and local carriers will begin work
tMs morning on the National Mail r.
ceptacle and house number census
day.
Under 4 ruling made by Postmaster
General Hays, every postmaster has
instructed his carriers that they are
people residing in every house on their
route. Mr. Irwin stated that he has
instructed all his carriers 10 start on
this mission this morning.
The number and names Of the people
in every house will be taken, aG well
as notation made whether or not some
sort OF a mall receptacle is provided,
and where there are none, to make a
report 1t is hoped that by doing this
,he carriers will give the people better
and quicker delivery Of their mail than
has ever been done before
Below is found letter which has
been sent out by Postmaster General
Hays in connection with this drive:
Office Of the Postmaster General,
Washington, d. c., Oct. 8, 1921.
II expeditions and efficient city de.
livery service Is to be accorded. 1t Is
essential that all buildings to which
mail IS delivered be properly mum.
bered and equipped with private mail
receptacles. Without house numbers,
carriers are delayed in serving the
routes, and errors in delivery una.
roidably occur, especially when sub
stitutes are on duty. This condition,
coupled with the lack Of mail recep-
tacles, inevitably impairs efficiency
and delays delivery. with n resultant
public inconvenience and loss.
To correct this evil. it has been de-
cided TO conduct a nationwide cam.
paign with a view to having every
building properly numbered and equip
ped with a suitable receptacle or open
Ing in the door.
As q preliminary step, on October
l9, 1921, the postmaster OF every post
office having city or village delivery
service will require his carriers to re-
port the address of every dwelling and
place Of business on their routes not
so numbered and equipped.
The postmaster will then communi'
cate with the owners or occupants, ,
urging upon them the Importance OF
a proper number or suitable
receptacle, or both. as the case may
be. II they desire the prompt and sale
delivery Of their mail, and wish TO CO
operate with their government in pro-
yiding a more efficient and eco
nomical mail service. No particular
style or type Of receptacle is required
by the department. II may consist
OF either slot in the door, or 4 con.
ven!cntIy located box OF any suitable
material House numbers should, OF
course, conform TO the system and
style adopted by the municipal author
tiles.
Before inauguratinC the campaign,
the postmaster or his representative
should confer with hardware mer
chants and others dealing in such ar
ticles with view 70 having them pro
yidn sufficient stock OF re"eplacles.

What He Wanted.

A little Washington boy was dining
at a friends house with his mother
not so very long ago when charlotte
russes in paper collars were one Of
the features Of the dessert. The fluffy
delicacies tasted very much like
more to the hungry little chap.
Is there anything else you'll have,
dear?' asked the hostess, solicitously.
Eyes, ma'am," eagerly assented the
child. Il want another Of them pretty

which Washington abounds said at q

quential air, that really her neuritis
was getting so bad she was at her

DISPUTE OVER USE OF CAVES
Scientists Disagree az to Whether
They Were Habitations or Tombs
of Primitive Race.

Curious caves In the Matsuyama
hills. in the province of Saitama near
Tokyo, Japan, are believed by some
to have been the homes of an anrient
race called the Tuschiguma, or Earth
Spiders, who lived long before the
ancient Amos. Others think them to
be tombs, while many are convinced
that they are merely shelters used
by the primitive tribe when pursued
by enemies.
The caves are all on the southern
slope Of the hills, and command an
extended view of fertile valley. This
strategic position argues for those
who believe the caves to have been
habitations and not tombs. About 200
OF them have been unearthed. Seen
from a distance they resemble huge
swallow bank. They are so close to-
gether that the inner walls almost
touch, and are entered through a mar
row, long, low passageway-so low in
TACT that man cannot stand upright
In the largest one Each room is about
SIX Dy nine feet in size; the ceiling
Y domed, and along the side is a
iedge raised about nine inches from
the ground. This was doubtless COW
cred with leaves, and used as a bed.
No tools, weapons or household ar
dcles have been unearthed and there
are no drawings on the walls, nor any
sign Of . pathway outside. The only
light comes from the passageway. The
caves are practically unknown and un-
visited, except by a few scholars.

EACH HAS fLkcE IN LODGE
According to Custom, the oceupants
Of Indian Tepee Have Their
Allotted Space.

AS there are six different ways Of
building camp fires, it should be ex.
planned that my friends built theirs &C.
cording to the Ojibway custom; that is,
in the so-called lodge fashion," by,
placing the sticks upright, leaning them
together, and crossing them over one
another in the manner Of lodge poles.
When the fire was lighted, the wind
shields formed perfect draft to carry
the smoke up through the permanently
open fiue in the apex Of the structure.
and one soon realized that of all tents
Or dwellings, no healthier abode was
ever contrived by man. Indeed, II the
stupid, meddlesome agents Of civiliza-
ton had been wise enough to have left
the Indians in their tepees, instead Of
forcing them to live in houses-the
ventilation Of which was never under
stood-they would have been spared at
least one Of civilizations diseases
tuberculosis-and many more tribes
men would have been alive today.
On entering an Indian teree one
usually finds the first space on the
right Of the doorway occupied by the
woodpile; the next by the wife; the
third, by the baby, and the fourth by
the husband. Opposite these, ON the
other side Of the fire, the older chill
dren are ranged. To the visitor is
allotted the warmest place in the lodge,
the place Of honor, farthest from and
directly opposite the doorway. When
the dogs are allowed in the tepee, they
know their place to be the first space
on the left, between the entrance and
the children.-Arthur Heming in
Worlds Work.

FINDS CURE FOR BLEEDERS
Paris Physician suceessfuI In TREATING
Disease With Use OF Blood
From the Horse.

'Bleeders," as they are called, gen
orally come Of families with history
of bleeding. Such sufferers are rare
ly cured. But Dr.. P. Emile-Weil Of
Paris reports in a bulletin Of the
Societe Medicale des Hopitaux the sue
cess he has had with his treatment Of
the disease, which Is called hemophilia.
He relates the case Of child Of
seven. pronounced bleeder. belong
ing to one Of the classic bleeder fami-
lies that have been written up in
medical annals since the Eighteenth
century. He gave the boy an inJec-
ton Of 20 cubic centimetres Of normal
horse serum-that Is horses blood
with the corpuscles extracted-every
second month until fifteen injections
had been given. The tendency to
hemorrhage seemed to be arrested.
and after seven years there has been
no sign Of its recurrence.
Previous to this Doctor Well had
treated seven cases Of familiar hemo-
philia with such Injections, all Of them
successfully, but he never regarded
case as wholly cured until that Of this
boy. But the fact that he has been
free from bleeding for seven years In
dicates at least that this disease Is
durable.

First Magic Lantern.

Takers in the old days were no less
quick than their present brethren to
take advantage Of scientific discover
les to fool the public. In 1916, one
Athanasius Kircher announced to the
few German scientists Of his day that
he had discovered an instrument which
would throw large pictures Of any
drawing or painting placed on 1t, upon
a white screen. He wrote quite 4
treatise on this first magic lantern
and called it the Arm Magma Lucis
ct Umbrae."
From a scientific point Of view
kircher's discovery did not make q
very deep impression. But half ?
dozen travelling magicians some
how or other got hold Of copies Of
the first magic lantern. They trav-
eled far and wide through the coun-
try, and they not only scared the
peasants and small-town peoples out
OF their wits, but by making 4
specially of showing pictures of the
devil, of poor souls frying in purga-
tory and other unpleasant subjects,
they collected considerable sums in
return for the promise to keep these
evil spirits out of the homes, Of their
victims.

Forqers Use New Method,

An original touch in forgery Is re-
ported by the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Daily Mail.
Making forged notes dirty in order
that they might look real Is said to
have been the method adopted by four
men who have just been arrested at
Limoges On charge of counterfeiting
the small brown one-franc notes
(nominally 10d) which are in circu-
lation in Paris owing to the shortage
Of silver ones
After printing off bundles OF notes
Of a face value of $1,000, the men. it
is stated, buried them in the ground
for fortnight. The notes then had
crumpled and dirty appearance as If
they had been long time in use,
and were readily accepted. In some
cases the forged notes were accepted
In bundles Of so at local banks.
