This took place last week, as the Postmaster General officially decreed the separation of Wash ington, D. C. as the local point of ail U. S. Postal operations.

While in Cincinnati, President Cobb was also honor guest at a banque sponsored by District Six : of the NAPE, headed by dynamic Eugene K. Burton of Cincinnati. The banquet was held at the : Manse Hotel, and was also attended by Robert G Phillip? of Louis-: vi'le, Ky„ new president of IT'- ' triet 6 of the NAPE. President! Cobb introduced his District offi- j cers to their subordinates offici ally at this affair.
