Heretofore the mall was carried only to one , common accommodation point at Fourth and Columbia, where each patron had to hare his own mall box or come down town for his ; mail, f ',, ,;. ;. ( . V The Salem office reports a gain cf folly 25, per cent over last year la the amount of transient mail delivered. : The office Is fairly swamped with this tourist mail Much of It comes as ordinary mall, without designation as ''gen eral delivery," and it sometimes has' a long gauntlet to run before It finds Its designation. When marked "general delivery," It 1 1s listed, . and all transfers and for warding orders can $ be recorded. "With? no such designation It4 may run the gauntlet of the 10 car riers and the nine rural routes and then lose out because It can't belongon any of these. - j The office has worn out 'two of the' last; Salem directories In try ing t find addresses for letters that are not fully addressed. Some of them are. located and found by means of the directory; omq ne ver are. The office Is not obli gated to .carry the directory study . ' to any extremes. It might legally i atop with .merely what service It tan .get from its personal knowl edge of the city, and the addresses on the mall Itself.

It .a. letter came to a regnlar Salemite, it was delivered; It it was for a transient, these postal sleuths 1 knew it Intsantly. and classified It j where' it . belonged. But Salem r fca far outgrown anybody's per sonal knowledge. A defective address may mean nobody gets It . and the - department Is roasted where it ought to take a brick to the writer.

Luis Angel Firpo, challenger to Jack Dempsey for heavyweight honors, was1 forced to go through ten rounds, with Homer Smith, Kalamazoo, Mich., heavy weight, this evening before winning by a 'referees decision. Firpo won the bout by a large margin, newspaper men at the ringside said, scoring knockdowns almost at will. It was the first time since the Argentine's entry to this coun try that he did not win his fight via the knockout. NOTICE Out of respect to Presi dent Harding, there were no baseball games sched uled yesterday, hence the lack of games and scores in today's Statesmen. Market and stock reports were also unavailable for the same reason. " v LEAGUE STANDINGS ft ; : PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE U. Pet.

While the production of these mills Is at the present time fnsignificent, they are capable of growing with the increased do mestic cotton production. In the third round Smith caught Firpo with a hard right to the Jaw, which rocked the Argentine. Luis retaliated with the series of Jabs. ; He was using the rabbit punch repeatedly. Firpo knocked Smith down again for a count of nine and had his opponent fight ing cautious.- During the fourth round, however. Smith rushed i Firpo to the ropes, sending in ' long rights.

In the first part of the eighth Smith hit him a vicious right and received a series of hard right smashes and uppercuts to the "paw. Smith played for Fir po's stomach. Firpo knocked Smith to the canvass with a series of kidney blows. Smith again took the count of nine three times during the ninth round. The Kalamazoo heavy held on during the last round, the referee1 having diffi culty separating him from Firpo. The final bell rang with Firpo trying to catch Smith for a knockout. W. I. Pet.

Origin.of Rare Ceramics Is Shrouded in Mystery WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. O -e of the greatest puzzles ih.tbe stu dy of the prehistoric-American In dian Is the .nature pf the people who made a ' wonderful : type of pottery found in the Mimbres Val ley in New Mexico. , ! Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, Chief fo the Bureau of American Ethnolo gy .of the Smithsonian Institu tion, recently returned from "an investigation in the valley, but re ported he had 1 learned absolutely nothing' of the lost race whose ceramics, first found by him in 1913,- are pronounced to be among the best unearthed ' In North America, j I j The figures of men and animals birds, fish, reptiles and Insects, as well "as geometric designs of unusual! excellence, decorate the pots, bowls and other household articles found, by Dr. Fewkes. The representations of life are fall of action, and it is difficult for scien tists to understand how the" an clent Inhabitants of the valley were able to achieve the accur acy and perfection of the Involved designs without the aid -of , me chanical devices. . L The pottery has been found in the most part under the floors of the ruins of ancient buildings, and commercial exploitation of the material has become so wide spread that the valley ruins are being rapidly demolished and the instructive archeological objects lost to science. One reason for Dr. Pewkes, visit was to make a collection for the National Mu seum before the supply was ex hausted.
