A broom-sweeping contest is to be
held by the Post Office Department to
determine the relative value OF
brooms for use by cleaners.
I.aborers at the Washington city
post Office. under the jurisdiction of
the department, will be the actors in
the contest, each armed with a broom
of d different make.
II. II. Billany, fourth assistant post
master general. had u dozen different
brooms in his office today-hig
brooms. little brooms, corn straw
brooms, fiber brooms. white brooms,
green brooms and brown brooms.
Billany tried the "heft' Of each
broom, and swept up his carpet bit,

The corn brooms were longer. The
question was raised if these would
not wear longer than those of fiber.
The only way to decide, 1t was de-
tcrmined, would be by an actual test.
So three laborerS at the city post
office are to be armed with one each
OF the brooms. and set TO work using
would be manifestly unfair in such a
test, il was declared. to have one
man sweep on concrete and another
on wood.
The men will keep track of the
number of hours of service of each
broom. The broom that lasts the

Any man who completes the first

Ultimately, War Department plans

men who have qualified as privates,

Efforts are being made, however, to
make these decorations more SYM

 All of us realize that failure to eoi- iect sufficient funds will seriously af- feet the work of the Public Health Nurse. We also realize that there are in Putnam many splendid people who have not the slightest intention of a. lowing the work of the nurse to be retarded or diminished.
 Those of us who have the interest of Putnam and the Public Health Ser vice at heart are indignant that We have not had an opportunity to con- tribute The fault of the campaign does not he in any lack of generosity en the part of the people of Putnam. That should be clearly and distinctly understood The fault lies with the method in which the roll cali was cor ducted. If t was conducted. The dol- lars are here awaiting collection.
