out Of his district. For instance, sup
pose your boy lives in Wisconsin,
which is in the 10th division, and is
working on railroad in northern
Michigan. Along comes letter adj
dressed to Rudolph, South Dakota,
which Is in the same division. He
should know instantly, without stop
ping to think or to look it up, how to
send that letter across Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota, and finally to
the little hamlet in the northern part
Of South Dakota to which it is ad-
dressed. This means that he must
know the name of the railroad that
will carry 1t there soonest, the time
the particular train leaves Chicago for
Minneapolis and the closest connec-
lions that can be made all through.
You can readily see that your boy,
when he becomes an A railway mail
clerk, will be just about the best post
ed man on the political geography of
that division in existence.
There are frequent examinations to
test the competency and advancement
of your boy all through his work; for
he must show progress and acquaint-
ance with new territory in his region,
that he is familiar with the opening Of
new railroad and mail and stage
routes, and-this is very important
that he can read just about the worst
addressed envelope that ever was
written, and this instantly as he grabs
it from the top of the pile in his hand
and throws 1t 10 feet down the car,
over rows of open sacks, into it's prop
err, bag. Incidentally, the man who
can throw mail the fastest and most
accurately into it's proper pouch is the
best railway postal clerk.
There are several promotions, all
bearing the same title, but with in
creases in pay. Each one of these
brings an advance of 500 a year, and
it is rule that clerk shall not gain
more than two in any one year. He Is
promoted in this way, as he shows in
creased efficiency, until he is drawing
$1,400 annually.
Then, vacancy occurring, he Is
made clerk In charge of the mail car
or cars on which he is working, mean
ing that he is at the head of all clerks
employed there, at $1,000 year. His
next promotion is to chief clerk in
charge of the lines running through
that territory, at $1,000. BY this time
he will have been at work probably Is
to 20 years, but he will have reached
a position of Importance and will be
one of the leading men in the service.
Further promotions are to assistant
superintendent Of the field at $500,
to assistant division superintendent at
$4,000, and to division superintendent
at $4,000. These division officers are
at the head of the railway mail bust
ness in the 13 great divisions of the
country.
The highest jobs in the service out
side of the Postmaster General, of
course, who is political appointee,
are the general superintendent of the
entire service, located In Washington,
who is appointed by the Postmaster
General, and draws salary of $4,000
annually, and the second assistant
Postmaster General, at $4,000, who is
the extreme and direct head of the
railway mail department. Both of
these offices customarily go to men
who have worked up from the ranks.

No-Rim-Cut Tires
1919 Oversize
Cost Nothing Extra-Cut Tire Bills in Two

This patented tire-a Goodyear Gre
ation-has quickly become the leading
tire IN America.
Last year it jumped our tire sales to
$500 900. This year 81 leading motor
car makers have contracted for these
tires.
The present demand runs twice that
of last year. Our present output IS
1900 per day. About $50, 600 have been
sold TO date.
These tires-the final result Of our u
years of tire making-will save motor
car owners millions of dollars during
the present wear.
