Sirs: TIME is unusual. In your Jan. 10 issue, under heading of "Elk City, Okla.," p. 4, col. 3, you refer to Letter Carriers, which is the proper designation of the men of Uncle Sam who deliver the U.S. mail.

But it lasted briefly, for the late President Alfred Holland Smith of the New York Central heard of the matter. The New York Central had long done considerable business through...
Amid this apparent demonstration of loyalty by all classes 1,000 "doves of peace" (trained army carrier pigeons) were released by order of Marshal Pilsudski and wheeled in three great circles above the square. It was apparent that the Marshal retains his heroic stature in the hearts of his people. By way of showing that he is both a Pole and a true cosmopolitan he appointed last week Mlle. Teiko Kiwa, first Japanese to sing the role of Madame Butterfly at the Polish National Opera, to assist President Ignatz Moscicki of Poland in unveiling a statue of Chopin* close...
