LETTER BOXES OR NO MAIL

When the postman ia kept waiting
at the door the difficulty of covering
his route in tho allotted time il I'M
quest9onably increased. But the Post
Office Department has taken n rather
drastic method TO prevent It. Four
months warning ie given to house
holders to provide boxes or slots, pre-
ferably the latter. on penalty OF not
having the mail delivered at all. That
there ought TO be proper receptaclcs OF
the sort goes without saying. The De-
partment has been for some time urE-
ing the use of them. and in his IT has
had the quite general cooperation cf
the public. But It seems that there are
still many de~linquents.
Postmasters. II appears. have al
ready been ordered TO refuse TO deliver
TO new houses whore there are no
boxes or slots, and the residents of
old houses can hardly complain If
the rule is now applied to them. 1t ia

less gathered up, soon be scattered
over West Chsster's streets. so he
commanded tho showmen to gather
the litter together and dispose of It in
a proper manner, which they did. BY
this net the policeman rendered good
service to tho people of West Chester.
1t Is doubtful II any other city can
show more litter. especially in the
form OF waste paper, on It's streets
than Wilmington. At times our high
ways are almost disgusting IN this
respect. Yet the evil Ia due to
thoughtlesspess by many persons, es-
pecially children. Also, It II a nuis-
ance that could be obviated by a sys-
tenn of attention and action.
Why should not our police take
cognizance of street denlings by litter
and bring all offenders sharply TO nc
count by compelling them to clear up
at once the litter they arc observed
to throw into the streets. or submit
to arrest and punishment? An mn
portant and pleasing reform Nigh,

General Motors in endeavoring to
deal literally with the public con-
tents itself with n satisfactory mar
gin of profits upon the capital em-
ployed in it's business and believes
that the buyers of its products are
entitled to the advantage OF a read
justment of prices when conditions

Accordingly on August 1 there
was announced a resdjustment OF the
prices Of the Chevrolet, Buick, Oak
land and the Oldsmobile. In certain
of these lines new models and new
types Of cars have been offered for the
first time.
These changes which have been
announced have been made possible
by economies effected In manufacture
