A form letter was sent out with the
water bills in the city Of Lexington
explaining the protection that the
public Is entitled to in barber shops
and beauty parlor service. We expect
to send some OF these same type Of

inspected by both the Sanitation

various means. 10 new privies were
installed during the month and 70

COURT RULING
 CURES YOUTH
Parents Complain of Sons Exhibition of Strength; Wrecks Home

A household Tarzan today was given a 30-day suspended sentence to the Cheshire reformatory, but city court officials, after hearing testi- mony also discussed the possibility of using him as Q first line of de- fense."
 The youth, Joseph Santoro, IS of 60 Congress avenue, according to po- lice and his parents, demonstrated his strength recently by wrenching the gas range completely of his kitchen wall, and driving his first through two doors. Officer Joseph Norton said the boy was trying to show "how strong he was." His parents added to this that he sulked when not given everything he asked for.
 Prosecuting Attorney Michael J Galullo and Judge John L. Gaffney mentioned the possibility of his join- ing the navy or the army where "he might use his strength to good ad- vantage" This solution, however was abandoned in favor of giving the youth another chance in his home.

POSTAL STATION TO END SERVICE
Difference Over Allowance
 By Govt. Ends Pickett Drug Co. Contract

After many years as a postal con- tract station, the Pickett Drug Com pany on West Main street, at the corner of Central avenue, has re- jected new contract from the post office department, on the ground tsat the grant allowed is insufficient, ayid will no longer do any postal business. Many Water burians who have become accustorn- ed to the convenience of the Pickett substation are reported to have complainsd to Postmaster General James 4. Farley.
 Eugene E. Beadle, proprietor of the store, explained today that the reason he was discontinuing the postal service was that he felt he was entitled to $500 year from the Postal Department, especially inas- much as that amount is being given to proprietors of the three new East End stations, regardless of their vol- tune of business during the year. The usual method in opening sub- station is for the proprietor to be granted $50 6 year, with subsequent increases yearly if the amount of business transacted warrants it. Ac- cording to the postal authorities at Washington, the Pickett substation has not yet reached the point where its business would justify a $500 compensation. Mir. Beadle has been receiving $500 8 year, and several attempts to have this compensa- ton enlarged have been unsuccess- full.
 Postmaster Charles A. Babin said today that the matter did not con- cern him, since it is the postal au- thorities at Washington that decide the matter of grants. He pointed out that the payment of $500 in the case of the East End stations is war ranted by the great number of peo- pie who live beyond Hamilton park, and who find local substations in theiv vicinity a great convenience. The volume of business done by theSe stations will undoubtedly be very considerable, he said.
