(UP) The poet' office department broke right down today and cried on the houlder of the American people about this mat ter of (crawling a few vague curli cues on an envelope and letting the postman try to figure out when the letter U supposed to go. They dont mind the routine pua- ' alee that confront them every day. such aa the envelope that was ad' dressed, "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" They sent that one right to Mae West. They also did pretty well with the envel ope that bore only a pen and Ink sketch of a big-eyed gin with her brown hair cut In a long bob. That one went to Joan Cdawford, and sure enough, the letter was for her. It's Becoming Game 1 It's getting so that It's sort of i game between the poetoffloe depart ment and people who have never learned to address letters correctly. The department keeps 60 handwrlt Ins experts at work all the time wrestling with illegible hsndwrltlng. They have to be pretty smart fellows and keep up with the day's news, for otherwise the might get a letter with a picture of a guitar on It and how would they know It was ln tended for Secretary of Treasury on Leave of Absence Woodlnf The toughest one they have en- countered so far was addressed: "To the wife of the one-legged colored man who lives on X street, Washing ton." It took about a day's work to get the letter delivered, but every thing oame out all right. Just the other day there came i letter addressed to "Kelwrn Koollta.' Then la no one In Washington by mat name. It looked as if the post office department was stumped un til somebody was struck by the In spiration that It was Intended for the late President Ooolldge.

Handwriting experts go gray, for Instance, trying to de cide whether It should be "Md." or "Mo." or "Me." The Carolines, the Dakota and the Virginias are a fer tile source of trouble, making it nec essary for experts to keep on file olty directories and telephone books of every town In the United States. On the rare occasions when the expert come up against a blank wall, the letter goes to the dead let ter office, where It's opened, If there Is still no clue as to where It should be sent, It Just dies.

(AP) The public works administration has ad vised the state highway commission of conditions upon which It will enter into negotiations for construction of five bridges on the Oregon Coaiit highway, It was said here today. The government will make an out right grant of 30 per cent of the cost of the bridges, and a loan of 70 per cent on condition that the state lsau highway bonds and collect & toll from the users of the bridges during the life of the loan. Highway authorities estimate that $3,500,000 in bonds would have to be Issued. The estimated toll receipts would require tolls of about 35 cents a car, with an allowance of about 8 cents a car for collection. It is also understood by highway authorities that the government would require that the state se'.l highway bonds as security for 70 per cent of the proposed $15,000,000 high way program. This would mean an additional issuance of bonds of 10, 500,000. The state had outstanding In high way bonds on July 1933, a total of 28,079,350. Real estate or insurant leave It to Jones.

Twin Ignition's extra spark in each cylinder is a ' very vital spark in adding spice to performance. By actual tests, Twin Ignition gives a motor 22 more power, 5 miles an hour more top speed and 2 more miles per gallon of gasoline than the same motor delivers with single ignition. Nash for 1934 clicks with its style, too. It's the most noticeable car on the street.
