STATE POSTMASTERS

over a half mile more than the
specified number of miles on his
route, he was due compensation for
the extra mile. Postmaster Hud-
son also made reference to the pro-
per packing of shipments for mail
Ing.
When called upon for new ideas
from the city, Postmaster Hickman
said, he was trying to improve the
appearance of the city streets by
moving the mail boxes off the main
thoroughfares and was also substi-
tuting cement-reinfOrced posts for
mail boxes in lieu of the present
iron posts. He suggested that many
boxes in the various towns could be
improved with a coat of paint,
thereby giving the visitor much bet
ter impression of the towns of our
community.
Postmaster Whitney of Ellendale
spoke of the mail messenger ser
vice from postoffice to station and
said the service was very unsatis-
factory due to only one man being
on duty at the station.
Inspector Sommers said that the
only way to relieve the situation
was to move the postofice out of
the 8O-rod limit, then the POstoftice
Department would provide messen-
ger service. He said this service
would be greatly improved upon in
auguratiOn of the star route from
Harrington to Rehoboth for all
first-class mail. The association
voiced it approval of the plan and
complimented Congressman Hous-
ton for his untiring efforts.

The resolution is intended not
only to permit the Supreme Court
not only to pass on the legality OF
this tax, but also to render judg-
ment for each state for the amounts
collected in that state. The records
are said to show the amount paid,
in the published report Of the COM

apparently it would not be difficult

treatment accorded him while at
the highway department at Dover.
The incident was one of those
wherein criticism might be leVeled
at the State Police force, which

Collins is satisfied with the expla-
nation that an error was made.
For some time past State troop

JOURNEYS TO DEMING
FOR GAME SATURDAY

The Douglas high school football
team leaves for Deming Saturday to-
play the high school team of that
place. Although not conference
game, the eligibility rules of each
state are being observed by the
teams.
The coaches are working on the
weak places in the hope that the
team will show more snap this week.
The crucial game of the southern
Arizona conference is less than two
weeks off, The adgers from Tucson
will be the next opposition on the
home field Tucson boasts of high
calibered eleven and expect to reach
the finals for state honors.
The Bisbee team failed to show
scoring ability in their game with
Wilcox Saturday at Warren park,
defeating the Wilcox team 10 to 0.
The locals seem to have the edge on
the Pumas in veteran material, but
as in former years the games be-
tween these two schools will be
closely contested.

Fair weather which prevailed Sat-

races started at o'clock the track
was in excellent condition, with the
exception of the south curve, where
little mud hindered the drivers.

Bryan, 81 2-5 seconds; Davidson,
81 As seconds; Campbell, Sc SECONDS.
| Positions in all of the races with
the exception of the flat heao
derby" for Fords were determined by
the time made by each driver in the
time trials. Randolph by making
| the fastest time the trials, took the
inside position.
"Wreckem" Harper was the winner
| Of the 15 mile free for all main
| event, his time being 12 minutes,
| 40 3-5 seconds. Young Bobby Bryan
took second, after crowding Harper
all the way, and Davidson finished
third. Randolph encountered engine
trouble and was out for a lap to
| change spark plug but re-entered
! and make a sensational but losing
driving exhibition.
The driving of Bobby Bryan, at
| the wheel of Bakers Chevrolet spe-
cial, provided the spectators with
plenty of thrills. In each of the
| races Bryan entered he crowded the
| ~ a
( tempted to pass, going into bad
skid each time on the high side of
the curves. BY stepping on it, the
/ lad managed to pull out of his
skids but gave the race fans some
! bad moments, nevertheless.
| The first event, the 10 mile free
for all for flat head Fords, the en-
trants finished in the following or
der: Reay first; Prince, second; Key
i third, and Edwards, fourth. GILL
man, the fifth entrant in the race
was forced out of the running after
a few laps. The race was open only
to stripped down Fords with stock
engines and the average speed main
| tained, of close to so miles per hour
i was considered remarkable.
In a close race in the second event
q five mile free for ALL Harper nosed
out the veteran Randolph for frs,
place. Davidson finished third, Bryan
fourth and Campbell fifth.
Randolph came back in the 1C
mile special event to take first place
away from Harper, who finished sec.
