Dear Ann Landers: I got married at 19 which was a big mistake Six months later I was divorced and moved back home now 23 have a responsible job and consider myself reasonably mature All through high school and college my mother telephoned friends and relatives looking for me if I was fifteen minutes late getting home It was very embarrassing but there was nothing I could do to stop it Once she called the Field Museum (I was there with a date) and had me paged (She wanted to tell me about the storm warnings she had heard on the radio and to be careful) Last night I said be home at 10:30 It so happened I met some people and get home until 1:30 She yelled for 30 minutes I feel that a 23-year-old girl need to report to her mother if she decides to change her schedule If you agree with me please print this letter Distressed In Chicago Dear Chic: A 23-year-old girl should not need to report to her mother But she SHOULD know how to use a telephone What I am suggesting is that you should

And while his group usually supports on principle the mail service has carried a good thing too far he said studies showed such an interdiction of the ordlerly flow of mail under the new postal system that it was interfering with the bureaucrats obtaining reports of forms and papers with which they meet their shufflistic Bo-rean said The Pony Express should be revived he said arguing that he had mailed a letter to Philadelphia from Washington then climbed on a horse and beat the letter to its destination He said he has developed a tape from a motor and paper clips that Washington moves in
