In a recent letter to the editor of the Postal Service News, Bill list3 some of the rather odd names applied to rail road post offices in the Middle West. Like "Ish Pish and Shish." That applies to a postal run be tween Ishpeming and Chicago, on a branch of the Northwestern Railroad. Also the "Chicken Lou" for the train betwixt Chicago and Louisville on the Chicago and Alton. The "chicken" part, I gather is a distortion of the square name for the windy city, hard by the waters of Lake Mich igan. Then there is "Chicken Sin" for the ride a letter takes on the New York Central between Chicago and Cincinnati, and "Chick, Logan and Lou" on the Pennsylvania between Chicago, Logansport and Louisville.

Smysor reports from Mulvane, Kan., that a bunch of school teachers recently took a conducted tour of Europe.
