One of the biggest groups o,
| listeners is out at the Naval Hos
pital, where the following wal
written:
I'VE fellows at the Naval Hos
pital are with you from start t.
| finish on every game you broadcast
and we sure hope you keep it up
We are nearly all Washington
rooters and there are about 900
listening in here"
From the Naval Hospital:
Il am sending thanks for about
so patients for the broadcasting OF
the ball game this afternoon"
At the county home, way up in
Troy, Pa, a nurse was asked to
write the following:
1--WE listened to the ball game
between Chicago and Washington
and enjoyed it very much. Hope
you will continue"
And here's one from the Winter
Quarter Lightship moored about 20
miles out at sea from the eastern
shore of Virginia:
Please continue the good work
of broadcasting the baseball games.
The officers and crew of this ship
stay on board for the period of two
months and then go ashore for one
month. In the two months ont
newspapers only twice a week.
How's that for isolation? If you
can continue broadcasting of the
games it will mean many pleasant
afternoons for US this summer"
Many of the letters bring a good
laugh. Here's one.
II enjoyed the game immensely
this afternoon. Had three guests
to listen in also. My husband said
broadcasting because his dinner is
served at Z o'clock instead of s
O'Clock. But don't bother about
him. Just do your stuff and go as
far as you like Of you want to call

when you draw diamond and fol-

Many of the writer's have par
ticularly mentioned the announc-
ing for instance:
Il enjoyed the broadcasting today
of the Washington-Chicag game
and hope you will continue to do
this when possible. Your announcer
was very successful in transporting
us to the ball field, in fact he was
almost the equal Of MacNamee and
I can give him no higher praise"

Il am a very rabid baseball fan

DEAD LETTER OFFICE
 WASTE IS AV0IDABLE
 POSTAL CHIEF AYERS

WASHINGTON, D.. C. May 2S.- R)-Postmaste General New has determined to attempt to curb care less correspondents and prod parcel post users who are responsible for a drag on the postal service which causes an enormous economic and considerable financial loss each year.
 With view to reducing dead let ters and parcels, now going to the dead letter office at the rate of 21,- 000,0O0 letters and SO3,0O0 parcels year, the postmaster general has designated the week of June l to ( as Better Mailing Week." during which a nationwide campaign will be conducted to educate everyone to use more care in the addressing of mail.
 If everyone who mailed letter or parcel put return address on the envelop (and the proper place is the upper left-hand corner, not on the back(," says the postmaster general, the dead letter office could be clos. ed and vast amount of money, time and energy saved. More than 99 per cent of dead letters contain no clue to the sender on the envelop.
 Mistakes are bound to occur, but investigation of claims and com plaints divulges that in the vast ma- jority of cases it is the mailer rather than the postal clerk who makes the error. We are going to try to do better. We are striving for that goal of perfection, and we would like for you to cooperate with us and help reducing that appalling dead let ter revenue. It can be done by:
 Addressing letters plainly, leaving out nothing that will help the car rier make delivery;
 Putting return address in upper left-hand corner;
 Using strong cord and stout pa per"
 Of the 21,SO3,O0O pieces of mail which went to the dead letter of flee last year, 100000 letters were in perfectly blank envelops. Cash removed from dead letters amount. ed to s55,523 which was turned into the United States treasury because its owners could not be located ow- ing to lack of return and other ad- dress. Postage stamps samounting to $12,165 were similarly found in. unbelievable and unreturnable mail. Checks, drafts and money orders amounting to s3,546,542 likewise were found but they represented only so much paper because they could not be cashed and have to be held a year for retaining, then to be destroyed. The revenue of the dead letter of- flee is sufficient to keep that insti- tuition functioning but it is not near ly enough to pay the annual bill for support of the "Nixie," as postal en- ployes call letter or parcel so im- properly addressed that it cannot be delivered to the addressee nor re- turned to the sender without special treatment. This special treatment, called directory service, costs the taxpayer $1,74O,000 a year In New York City alone it costs $500 a day to look up addresses. Approximately 2OO,OOO,OOO pieces of mail yearly are given directory service. The simple addition of return address would obviate it entirely post officials say.

ONE LOUISIANA PARISH
ALONE GROWS PERIQUE
Picturesque Tobacco Culture is
Largely Confined to One
Family.

By tho Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, December
25.-In the parish of St.. James, a
short way from New Orleans, is a
historic and picturesque industry,
tnf1nitesimal in comparison with many
Of the other bountiful agricultural
crops Of the State, but which is pecu
liarly Louisianian. This is the Perique
tobacco industry, alone in the world.
First grown many years ago by an
Acadian. whose name the tobacco
now bears, it's cultivation has been
kept up continuously ever since by
direct lineal descendants of the origi
nal M. Perique.
Cultivation is confined to a very
small area on the banks Of the Mis-
sissippi, where a favorable combina-
ton of soil and climate Is particu
larry adapted to it's growth. This
tobacco. which finds it's chief use as
a seasoner for mixtures, is exceed
ingly strong, with distinct flavor
and aroma. Not many more than 500
acres are given over to its growth.
Perique is raised in much the same
manner as any other sun tobacco, the
land being properly plowed over and
the rows set about five feet apart.
The seed is sown early in January
and replanted in March or April. The
harvesting is done in July. The to-
bacco then is hung in the sheds to dry,
stripped and placed in presses until
the following March or April, when 1t
is ready for the market. Frequently,
however, it is not sold until three or
four years old, as Perique, like wine,
improves with age
The yield Is about 500 pounds to
the acre and its price fluctuates with
the demands OF the market

STEAM CLEANS BUILDINGS
New Method Found Effective by
Bureau of Standards.

Dirty-faced stone buildings that
blush dark with shame between clean,
new structures can now be steam
cleaned 30 that they not merely look
almost as good as new, but attain the
mellow, refined look Of ripe age.
The United States Bureau of
Standards has conducted a series of
tests to determine the best way of
cleaning buildings. Old-fashioned
methods of acid cleaning, sand blast
ing. scrubbing with soap powders and
handbrushes are effective, but very
slow and laborious. Live steam clean
ing was first tried on dirty stones in
the laboratory, and then on a 20-year-
old accumulation of dirt on an old
bank building in Baltimore.
The results showed that this new
method could be used rapidly with in
experienced common labor, although
the cost was somewhat higher than
for acid cleaning. This cost is expect
ed to drop when the method passes
the experimental stage.
