Wife Now Is Postmaster MRS. ELMA EYLAR Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 7.— The first woman ever appointed to preside over a post office in a city of more than 100,000 is Mrs. Elma Eylar of this city. A typical housewife, she was the only. woman in the contest for the job. Twenty-six men took the ex- amination, and they “also ran.” “I don't see why a woman can't be as good a postmaster as a man,” she says. "And by the way, I'll just call myself postmaster and not post- mistress.” It is believed the Coolidge admin- istration favored Mrs. Eylar be- cause of active work by her as a republican club leader in her city. Mrs, Eylar and her husband have a town home, but spend much of their lelsure méments on a country estate, where she likes to do much of her housework, even as many an- other housewife would. | ditions were such as to be “Intolerable | posing of garbage and refuse than in Norwalk, Sept. 8,—Conditions in the Norwalk river are such that property owners along its banks and the city of Norwalk which empties its sewers into the stream have been ordered to provide a remedy.
