Free Postal Delivery in the
Village

There has been some talk recently
concerning free delivery of mail il
Morrisville. Perhaps few facts re.
galsding the Law and recent rulings
thereon may be of interest.
First, every house must be num-
bered, according to government regu.
lations, and bear it's designated mum
Der on conspicuous place, presum-
ably near the door, on the inside OF
which the mail box is located.
Second, each citizen must elect
whether he will have mail delivered
at his place of business or get it al
the postofice. If at his residence OF
place of business, then he cannot get
it at the postoffice, no matter how
important, but must await the ar
rival of the carrier. In Morrisville
we could not hope for more than once
q day delivery.
Third, if we had free delivery there
would be no more letters sent sealed
for one cent. All would cost two
cents.
Fourth, by recent ruling of the
.postoffice department each place
where mail is to be delivered must
have "a box for it to be placed in, put
up according to government regula-
tions, so the carrier does not have
to stop and ring the bell, etc.
Fifth, every subscriber to this, or
any paper printed within the village
limits, would have to pay for the cost
Of delivery by carrier.
Sixth, special delivery letters, par
Gel post packages, ETC., are usually
delivered at the postoffice, the carrier
leaving slip notifying parties to
call at the respective windows for
same.
There is no question but that free
delivery marks the progressive vii
lage and that it would be a great
convenience to people in the residen-
tial sections, especially those ON Jer-
sey Heights, Brooklyn, Wabun ave-
nue., etc, but, like all good things,
free delivery costs something.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-10-23

He first drew notice in politics when
he entered the house of commons in
1900. Eleven years later he was chos-
en- leader of the Unionist party. He is
given credit for mucn of the growth
of that party. In 1915 he entered the
cabinet as secretary of state for the
colonies. The following year he was
named chancellor of the exchequer
and also assumed the government lead
ership of the house of commons.
He served as member of the Brit.
ish peace delegation at Versailles in
1919. and then, little over three years
ago, retired from politics on account
of ill-health.
1t was the Unionist party, headed by
Law, that brought about Lloyd
Georges resignation, when it refused
to give his coalition party a vote of
confidence Now Law assumes the
task of forming his own cabinet and
carrying on the British state burdens.
1t is believed, however, that he has
agreed to hold the premiership only
for short time, on account of his
poor health.

Jnessentials Discussed by Womans Dean

I'VE emphasize unessentials," says Miss Jean
Hamilton, newly appointed dean of women at the
University of Michigan, discussing the girl prob
lem. She is not worrying whether the co-eds bob
their hair or dip into the rouge pot.
"All these are unessentials," she said recent
ly. I'VE make the error of emphasizing the un-
essentials This tendency on our part, seems to
me one of the reasons the young people despise
our authority so much-We have so little sense
of the relative importance of things"
Miss Hamilton is the third dean OF. women at
Michigan and is Vassar graduate. Her expert
ence evidently has supplied her with enough
data to be able to form intelligent conclusion
on a matter that is discussed in many circles.
Considerable effort is wasted by well mean
ing persons who look at non-essentials as things
that need to be reformed and bettered, while the
causes remain hidden to them. Miss Hamilton
evidently belongs to a school that seeks to dis
