Mailbags are made of various ma

and the most costly of leather. Those
used on fast expresses are reinforced
with metal so that they can be flung
from fast-moving trains without dam
age. Even then these bags, or catch
er pouches" do not last much more
than year and half while some of
the cotton bags used for the work will
remain in service upward of ten years
In parts of the West whore the mail

In the far frozen North special bags

In the cities a bag i'm use for pneuma-

ton called 'leatheroid." The ordi-
nary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically water
proof, and i'm the weaves there are
thirteen stripes of blue. Each coun-
try marks it's own mail pouches in
some individual way, so that if one
gets lost i'm a far country it's owner
ship can be readily detected.
Nearly siXty-flve million mail bags
are used each year by the whole coun-
try. and as they are being worn out
