NO DELAY AT
POST OFFICE
Christmas Rush Well Hand
led With Nothing Left
Over for Today.
POSTMASTER IS PLEASED
Clerks Worked Until Noon.
Yesterday When They hand-
led the Last Pieces.


Two hundred thousand pieces OF
mail matter were handled at the
post office during the annual Christ
mas rush which closed yesterday,
according to an estimate furnished
to a; NEWS reporter today by POST
master William H. Pfeiffer. Every
piece of mail has been delivered or
started on its out-of-town destina-
tion and the post Office this morning
bears no resemblance to rushed
and disordered exchange, as It did
over the weekend 1t is the first
time In the history of Perth Amhoy
that letters and packages were not
delayed from delivery on Christmas
Day.
The entire clerical and carrier
force worked all day Sunday, but
met with reward yesterday morning.
They found their work completed at
noon time and that they We're In q
position to enjoy a holiday, which is
something very unusual for a postal
clerk in large city on Christmas.
The clerical force consisted of eight
men, two of whom are substitutes.
The force of carriers was Jumped
from ten to twelve for the rush. but
was diminished to the regular num-
ber this morning. Derza Dajka and
Robert Mallory were the substitute
carriers, and William Coughlin and
Gottfried Bjornsen extra clerks. Col
lections were made in automobiles,
while deliveries were made by
wagon.
According to Postmaster Pfeiffer's
rough estimate. the rush week Just
closed netted Uncle Sam a neat in
come from his agency in this city.
Sixty thousand one-cent stamps were
sold at the stamp window, many of
them one at a time, while $4,000
two-cent stamps were disposed of in
like manner. The number OF outgo-
ing registered letters and packages
totalled 1900. 1t was the biggest
rush ever witnessed at the office and
the promptness with which the
clerks dispatched the incoming and
outgoing malls has greatly pleased
Mr.. Pfeiffer. The postmaster was
appointed last summer and 1t was
the first rush he had ever been call
ed upon to handle,
Postmaster Pfeiffer expects
small rush from now Until shortly
after January 1 due. principally, to
the hinge amount of RMS A1fd df1nss
sent out at this time. as we'll as the
number OF New Years greetings ex-
changed by the post card method.
The force, however, has been cut to
the regular number and will com
tinue so until called upon to meet
another emergency.

WE LOSE PENNIES
BY THE MILLION
Uncle Sam is Kept Busy Coming
New Ones To Keep Us
Supplied.

Washington, Aug 30.-How do they
make the pennies. mamma, and where
do they all so to?
1t is a question every mother in
the United States has heard, and one
the latter half of which, at least
which bothers even the authorities of
the mint, where the pennies are made.
Where do the pennies go to? Who
knows? Since Uncle Sam began maxi
ing bronze pennies in 1864, he has
made nearly two billion of them.
There have come back to him for re-
million, so somewhere in the world
there are 1875, 1856 bronze pennies,
a pretty big figure but easily under
stood sinve it gives an average of 20
pennies to every man, woman and
child in the United States.
We haven't anything like 20 pennies
apiece, so the conclusion is that very
many of these missing pennies are
hopelessly lost. They have disap-
peared. like the pins
But whether the lost pennies are in
the babies banks or the newsboys'
swallowed them, it is equally inter-
csting TO sec how Uncle Sam manufac-
lures the tons of pennies he turns out
every year.
GAL TWO ADD PENNIES eah hrI
The mint ut Philadelphia, where
most of the pennies are made, buys
raw copper i'm ingots or pigs. and
slabs of zinc and tin. Each penny is
three fourths copper and ne-fourth|
alloy of zinc and tin. The metals are
put into n graphite crucible in this
proportion and melted. Then the
penny metal is poured into molds to
harden into ingots about the size and
shape of pound cakes.
The ingots are taken cold and
counted. Men do this, with nattened
in rolls. whench they come In strips
just as thick as a penny four inches
wide and two feet long.
The strips are then run into stamp
ing machines which cut out round
pieces of metal just the size of pen
ny.
The pieces cut out are called blanks
The next operation is to put rims on
them. which is done by pressing ma
chine.
The trimmed blanks may be tar
nished and dirty by this time, so the
next thing to do is to wash them |
This is done by chemicals and is call
ed annealing.
The bright new blanks are now
ready TO be stamped as Lincoln pen
mics. The disks are shoveled into n
hopper which looks like horn oil
