WASHINOTOH. (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. It was
. , State Abbreviations Poor
Most trouble oomes from people
who can't write abbreviations of
states clearly. 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.

PORTLAND, Nov. 39. (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.

It requires medicine like

'HQ'S afraid of the bie. bad hills! The 1954
Nash makes sport of them. Eats 'em up . . . with
n easy stride that proves the superior power of a
Twin Ignition valve-in-head motor!
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. And every model
has a new improved built-in ventilation system pro
viding unobstructed vision and a new coincidental
starter and a new synchro-shift transmission, qu!el
in all gears and many other important engineering
developments. Drive a 1934 Nash and enjoy
the ride of your life!
