POSTAL MOTOR SCORCHERS

On Saturday a Dominion reporter interviewed Mr. W. B. Morris, Secretary of the Post and Telegraph Department, in order to ascertain what ho had to say with regard to Mr. Justice Betwards's caustic criticism on the speed-ing-up tactics adopted by the mail collectors of the Department, who now use motor traction for that work. Mr. Morris said that the'remarks of Mr. Justice Edwards were quite justified. It was ono of tho most difficult things going to make the men realise the danger to themselves and the public by this high-speeding in the City. "I have again written to the Chiw Postmaster," said Mr. Morris, "pointing out the absolute necessity for tho mail collectors keeping within reasonable spoed limits. There is no necessity at all for the break-neck speed at which some of them travel. I am also asking tho police to report any offender to the Chief _ Postmaster, or if a flagrant case is discovered, to proceed against the offender in Court in the ordinary way, as the Department has no desire to shield anyone from penalties for breaches of the by-law. "For somo time we employed youths to drive the motor-bikes and side-cars, but none are now so employed owing to the difficulty in controlling them. Only men are now employed, and they should' have the seiise to proceed only at a reasonable pace, and not hurtle „a|ong like speed-maniacs. For the same reason, motor-bikes have now been abandoned as far as telegraph boys are concerned, and we have reverted to the old push-hikes. Highspeeding again was the trouble. _ The only motor-biko we now employ is the one used between the Chief and the Newtown Post Offices." YOU SHOULD NOTE that medals from exhibitions with regard to eucalyptus only testify to industrial usefulness, such as malting varnish, etc.. SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT is endorsed by the 'highest medical authorities as a beneficial and safe medicine, and is proved at the Supreme Court of Victoria to be perfect and without liarmf„l by-effects. . SANDER'S EXTRACT can always be relied on. Only recently the Melbourne "Age" reported that about 30 girls were suffering poisoning from eucalyptus lollies, which were evidently made from the common eciialyp|,,c The insisting on the GENUINE SANDER EXTRACT will avoid every ,kn"er safe, reliable, and efficient.
