Worst Winter For

when the cor heglns to move CT it does), lt sounds as if the rear end hnd dropped out
 This is one winter that the chap who doesn't own Q car can turn up his nose in the air at those whom he'd envy in the milder seasons ot the year. And the driver who de- clded to put his car up for the winter ln December has his should or almost out of joint by this time from reaching around 0 pot him. self on the back for his foresight and good judgment
 When the car owner eontemplates what the winter has cost him in dollars and cents, without even in- cluding wear and tear on his car and actual damage Co it, you1l find that he doesn't smile at all. First there was anti-freeee, and then gal. Ions more after that; stlll if he was unlucky, hts car frose up. Then there were chains, end extra links to buy every 30 often. If he didn't have Q heater, his car wasn't Of much use this winter anyway, 60 that meant more outlay. And when sleet and snow began to freeze on the windshield and he had to ad- init that he couldn't see where he was going, he had to buy Q defroster.
 And even while he's digging down to pay for all these, he has his mind on the fact that whe inspiring comes his car will have to be all tuned up again, His clutch will be weak, and if he's driven on rutty streets very much, his wheels will be out of line. At this point, the car owner prob. ably has his nails bitten off and is starting on his tongue.

BY PAUL MAY

Especial washfnEten Correspondent

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81.
With the total of all postal saw
ings accounts in Key West de-
creased by $685. during the
month of December the Key West
postoffice started the new year
with S91 postal savings accounts
totaiing $277.161, IL was re-
ported today at the postoffice de-
partment.
Postal officials explained that
the amount of postal savings de-
posits in any particular postoffice
has no direct hearing on the
amount of postal savings funds de-
posted in local banks. The
postmaster, they explained, sends
all but a small part of the postal
savings funds entrusted to his
care to a central depository, and
these repositories in turn lend the
money out to local banks through
out the area.
A large part of Withdrawals
from postal savings accounts in
Key West during 1885 was used
for purchase of ''baby bonds" the
postoffice department said.
How postal savings at the Key
West postoffice have fluctuated
is shown by a comparison Of the
January LIST figures this year with
figures for previous fiscal years.
On June 80, 1882 Key West had
629 postal savings deposits total
ing 5000, 003. A year later. after
the banking holiday, Key West
had 500 postal savings deposits
totaling $3s4.s27. On June 80,
1884 the Key West postoffice re-
ported 1877 postal savings accounts
totaling s297.519. At the end Of
June 1885, Key West had 933
postal savings deposits totaling
$298,284.

is whether the government shall
be allowed to compete in the

of the court will rest, to a large
