Their Efficiency Demonstrated by
Triai1 Made in Michigan.


A series of extensive experiments
with the automobile in the free rural
mail delivery service, which has just
been completed in Lenawee county
Michigan. eeems to remove whatever
doubt has existed as to the prRctica-
bility OF adopting motor vehicles on
routes which defy the horse.
Thesc tests extended over a period
Of one month and the routes covered
varied In length from ten miles 10
1wenty-nine miles. The weather was
Mt times very bad. the snow was often
from six to eight inches deep and
much ice was encountered.
Yet. notwithstanding such adverse
conditions. the report OF Postmaster
Priddy. who supervised the tests.
shows that on the twenty-nine mile
route the time required to make 1875
stops for delivery and fifty-nine "pirk-
ups" during which approximately 800
pieces OF mail matter we're handled.
was less than four hours. or about one
half that occupied by the carrier with
his horse. The amount Of fuel con-
sumed was only nominal.
Postmaster Priddy says that the peo-
pie along the routes, whose attitude
toward the automobile heretofore had
not been friendly, came TO regard the
machines with admiration and he be-
1ieves that all that is necessary TO al
lay the sentiment of unfriendliness to
ward automobiles now existing among
our rural citizens is to demonstrate
TO them the machines immense advan
tage over their four-footed contempo-
raries--St. Louis PostDispatch.
