Y. —A new and effective scheme for curbing misuse of the postoffice’s general delivery window has ben put into effect by Postmaster Thomas B, Lowerre here. He will henceforth confiscate all general delivery letters addressed to young girls of the village and turn them over to their parents or some male member of the family. Mr. Lowerre said he recently became aware that some of the girls of the village were receiving mail which he thought would stand inspection by their parents.
