Women choose office work over household service in wage study
A New York woman notes a striking employment choice pattern as a husband advertises for a household maid at 12 dollars a month and a lady copyist at seven dollars a week. Only one applied for the first job while 554 sought the office post, illustrating a belief that household work signals inferiority. The piece argues culture must shift to elevate domestic labor and grant women broader respect and opportunity.

Post Office Lock Box Deposits Aim to Shield Mail
The First Assistant Postmaster General describes how lock boxes and drawers are treated as private spaces for mail delivery, with keys held by the department. A fifty cent key deposit is required at offices not in government buildings, refundable on return, funds kept as a postmaster ledger, and quarterly reports sent to headquarters. Lock boxes now total 6,700 offices with a $300,000 fund to secure key return and prevent misused access.
