New Sort of Record

San Antonio, Tex, July 10.-(Special)-
For cities its size San Antonio holds
the 1909-1O record on undelivered mail
matter Letters and packages found to
be deliverable by the postoffice dur
ing the last fiscal year reached the tre-
mendous total of AZ, 1876 pieces. OF these
16, 525 had no return address and for this
reason had to be sent to the dead letter
office. Most of the pieces were letters

and several postal money orders.

PERFECT RECORD
ON THE "PENNSY"
Efficiency Test of Employees Made
Last Yesr-se.75 Per Cent Were
Perfeet-Good Showing.

Some 100000 efficiency tests were
held last year by the Pennsylvania
Railroad and practically q perfect rec
ord was made by the employees.
These figures are shown In a report
issued today by the railroad The av-
erage number of tests made each day
was S20 and of the total for the year
1915 per cent was perfect. In the
twenty-five one-hundredths OF one per
cent of failures are included the cases
where enginemen passed signals by a
few feet before stopping their trains.
and similar cases, which, though viola.
tons, were not such as would make
possible an accident to a train.
Efficiency tests are conducted by
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
who, at unusual times and places. set
signals at caution or danger. display
fuses or place ~torpedoes on the track.
with a view to keeping all employees
constantly on the alert for any and all
signals. Failure TO observe any of
the rules regarding the operations Of
trains is considered cause for disci-
pine.
The tests made in 1909 were divided
into four classes, in which the follow
ing records were made by the men:
Block signal rules, 1881, OF which
1916 per cent showed perfect observ-
ance on the part of the employees
rules governing fiagmen, and the use
of fuses, t~orpedoes and other signals,
As, SS7 tests. with 1913 per cent perfect,
trains ahead OF schedule time, $3.50
tests, with 1913 per cent perfect, and
signalmen relieving each otheS, 99.9
per cent perfect out of 112,90i tests.
Eight of the t~wenty-six divisions of
the Pennsylvania Railroad showed per
feet records in all signal tests made
during the year. On the Sunbury and
