GRATIFYING TO DEPARTMENT
Boxes and Posts on Western Rural
Delivery Route Made Uniform.

An instance of what the Post Office
Department regards as commendable CO.
operation between postmaster, rural car
rier and rural patrons has been brought
to light at Houston, Mimi. where, on
rural route No. 3. pursuant to sugges-
tions made by the Post Office Depa rtment.
all the boxes and posts on the route have
been painted white. numbered ard ,ettcr-
ed in a uniform style.
The fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral has been conducting a campaign for
uniformity in letter boxes used in the
rural mail service. Although no positive
order has been issued compelling patrons
to meet certain specifications, yet the
suggestions which have been made from
time to time have borne fruit the Hous-
ton case being an example of complete
compliance with the desires of the de-
partment. The gratifying results attain
ed in this instance, il is believed, will
blaze the way for the rapid adoption of
improvements in this respect in all parts
of the country.

VALUE OF WIRELESS.
as indispensable in Army
Signal CORPS, Saws Maj. Suuires.

While the wireless telegraph and tele-
phone now are regarded as indispensable
in the work of the army Signal Corps.
aviation offers an almost unlimited field
for operations. according to Maj. G.. O.
Squires, Signal Corps. L. S. A. who last
evening addressed the members of the
Commercial Club on Wireless Teie-
phony, Telegraphy and Aviation
Mai Squires gave a comprehensive re-
view of the field of activities covered by
the army Signal Corps. Aviation. he
said. widens the scope of operations of
the Signal Corps more than the layman
imagines. particularly in the matter of
scouting and signaling at great distances.
Emile Berliner. who was on the pro-
gram for a talk on "A New Airship En-
CINE and Parachute told his auditors
that one of the most distinctive and
characteristic of the engines he has re-
Gently invented is a revolving cylinder
which does away with the balance OF fiy
wheel. The absence of this weight makes
the motor lighter than any airship power
yet invented. he said. The motor devel-
ops one horsepower for every three
pounds of weight, and the speed OBJ
tainable under average aviation con-
ditions he claimed, is greater than any
attained with any motor now in use of
either foreign or domestic construction.

Both men were committed to Jail in
default of $4,000 bail each. 1t is stat.
ed that $4,000 worth of the bonds have
been recovered and the balance have
been traced. Charges of larceny and

The bonds in question disappeared
from the companys Office on Nov. 13,
