for a psychology test. In the course,
of this, the examiner, an owlish lady,
Iasked, "Are you a boy' or a girl?" '
; The little gjrl,uegarded her steadily '
for a ,moment and said, ",Roy."
The examiner looked very grave in- 11
deed through all the rest of the test,
and when, it was 'done drew the •
mother aside and said that all sorts .
of development difficulties threatened:
She used a• lot of large psychological - --

her sex was ominous. The mother
was naturally pretty much upset.

Mail Chute.
If you 'drop an envelope in the mail
chute on the top floor of a skyscrap-
er, there is no danger of the, letter
igniting from friction. The reason is .
that the mail chane 'people utilize a
natural updraft, like that of a chim-
ney; to slow down falling nmil. At
the 'bottoTrq, the letters strilhe a
smooth, curved (bronze plate which
slows them down greatly and deflects
them against a leather cushion hang-
ing (vertically. •
The 'ladies, bless them, don't* like
to throw butts or matches on floors,
so they are inclined to put t'h'orn in
mailchutes. in Manhattan and the `
Bronx, there were 72 mail "bort fires
in 1930. In 1931 there were 95. Mr. ' s
Uutler has met this .by an: amazing
new invention, (which was shown to
us. It is an. appliance placed direct-
ly below the letter slots on the chutes
which rejapts cigarette butts, match- -
es, etc,, and in fact everything but
latte•rs. Outlaw matter, irfAead of
entering the chute drops out at your'
feet. These are being installed in
Rocketfeller lCeZter and the Bronx
Courthouse, 'Suc'h antiquated- struc-
tures as the Empire State and the,

AM they've got is a trap ,in the maitt
box at the bottom: of the chute, iu
which butts and matches colloct.
These are butts
out in 'handfuls.
If you see a fyre in a maillbox, you
are supposed to notify the Post
Office Department. They are re-
sponsible for the mail as soon as • it:
