Monument of Boxes
To Great Failures

WASHINGTON d. c., March 30
Office building in Washington there
is monument built of 1900 boxes to
the memory of American persistency
and failure.
These boxes are the offering of as
many inventors for the alluring bait
of the o. K. of the department on their
inventions which would have brought
them a chance at an order for 5,000.-
900 mail boxes for the rural delivery
service.
All these contraptions have been
sent in since 1901. Up to that time
the department allowed the farmers
to use whatever they chose as mail
box but when it found. that in many
instances their choice ran to a piece
of thing, stove piping, old powder and
oil cans, and everything else from the
refuse heap back of the d home
stead, the department baked and de-
cided to set a standard. This imme-
diately created a market for an enor-
nous supply of boxes and all the
would be Westinghouse of the cOun-
try set to work Justify to supply Uncle
Sans need.
The results of their efforts form
most interesting index to what the
human mind can evolve. Some are
shaped like a dirigible torpedo, some
open on hinge like a clam shell. One

post cards or to register a letter. One
(probably invented by a letter car
rier) has an arrangement whereby it
could be swung into the carriers wag-
on, emptied and returned without the
carrier getting out of his seat.
Some didn't stop at inventing box;
they devised a whole system to be run
from a village post office by gasoline
motor. Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General De Graw, who has charge of
the rural delivery. says that even now
he gets a letter every week from some
one who has an idea for collecting
mail ong rural routes. One device
is battery box to be filled with mail
at the post office and automatically
distributed along the route. at the
same time picking up other boxes fill
ed with mail for dispatch.
