luck are what post office officials rely
upon to keep forbidden articles out

They have no hesitancy about dis
cussing this work as it affects the
routine operations Of the department,
but the strike furor is in a different
status No one at the department is
saying very much about that.
One OF the functions of the depart

not carry forbidden articles from
State to State or place to place. 1t

much prying into the mails.
ITS amazing how many persons
will deliberately lie about a thing like
that" said Nelson 3. Wentzel, super
intendent Of classification.
That is especially true OF persons
who include writing in a package. In
spite OF all our efforts to warn per-

thousands of cases like that every

Fisheries Official

To Define Lobster
Maine Groups Protest
Leads to Distinguish
Small CIa,u Varieties.

The commissioner Of fisheries re-
sorted to Latin yesterday when asked
to answer the controversial question,
what Is lobster?
The point came up when Maine FISH,
ermen petitioned Congress to declare
that lobster Is not . lobster unless
equipped with formidable claws.
Asked for definition, Fisheries
Commissioner Frank T. Bell admitted
that in the bureau certain sea crea-
lures from Florida, California and
South Africa have been referred to as
"spiny Holsters"
However. Bell said, In future he
would call the alleged interlopers
"panulirus." In the same language
the Maine lobster would be genus
homarus"
1t seems that the panulirus, claws or
no claws, has been underseuing the
genus homarus by about a dollar
pound. The Maine delegation con-
tends this creature scarcely rates the
title Of lobster tails"
