FORTY-ONE AUTO TRUCKS
BOUGHT TO HANDLE MAIL
Success of Machines Will Sound
Death Knell to Contract
System.

The Postmaster General stated today
that forty-one automobile trucks have
been purchased by the Post Office Depart
ment. This is the first time the use of
such vehicles in the postal service has
not been secured by contract or hire. and
officers of the department, as well as
manufacturers. are interested in the out
come of the experiment.
Twenty of these trucks are heavy,
powerful machines designed and con-
structed especially for the needs of the
parcel post in cities. The carriage, trays
and hampers are made with a view to
carrying the maximum amount of mer-
chandise mail. In addition to delivering
parcels, the trucks win be used in the
regular collection service.
The postmasters at Baltimore. Brook
lyn, Buffalo. Louisville, Minneapolis and
Philadelphia will each receive some of
the heavy machines which are to be
first delivered, and they will be expected
to keep a careful record of the cost of
operation and maintenance. These re-
suits will be returned to the department
and carefully compiled.
After charging the purchased cars 4
proper amount for depreciation and in
surance. the total cost for certain
period of time will be compared with the
rental paid for twenty similar machines
for the same period.
The remaining twenty-one trucks are
lighter machines of smaller capacity for
use in small cities, and to provide a
supplementary service in the large cities
that can be used to advantage when the
volume of mail for any delivery does not
neceSSitate the use of a heavy truck.
One of the new auto trucks of the
maximum capacity was recently inspected
by Postmaster General Eurleson and
First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper. They are said to have express
ed themselves well pleased with the ma
chine and declared that if these trucks
in operation were found to cost the de-
partment less than the contract trucks
doing the same work they would be in
clined to favor the further purchase OF
automobiles to be used under the same
conditions as these in the city delivery
of parcels.

Danny Meadow Mouse Proves

Meadows and shook his head a great
| many times before he made up his
mind what was best to do to help Lit
| tie Pete out of his scrape
You are lucky little Rabbit" said
he. ito have gotten as far as this with
a whole skin. 1t must be that Old
Mother Nature has had her eye on YOU
and has taken care of you You GER
tainly are very lucky Rabbit, Yea
cannot go back to the dear old Brian
Patch tonight because Boomer the
Nighthawk says that Granny and Red
dy Fox are hunting around there. You
can't stay here because you are too
big to run fast along my little paths
and when daylight comes Redtail the
Hawk, whose eyes are very. very
sharp would be sure to see the grass
move whenever you moved and would
be almost sure to catch you. 1t will be
daylight pretty soon now and there
isn't any time to lose. Let me see.
Let me See.
Danny put his chin in both hands
and did some hard thinking. while Lit
tie Pete watched him anxiously At
last Danny hoped up.

and the nearest one is not very far
from here. 1t is along one side of
Farmer Browns garden. and because
there is almost sure to be some one
working there every day Granny and
Reddy Fox never go there during day
light, and Redtail the Hawk and all
his relatives keep away from there.
If you keep hidden you have nothing
to fear unless Shadow the Weasel
should happen along, and I don't be-
lieve he will, for / haven't known him
to come over this way for a long, long
time. Now you follow me-"
Danny started along one Of his lit
tie paths. Pretty soon it branched off
into another. and this into third. and
then into still another. 1t seemed to
Little Pete that he never had seen so
many paths not even in the old Briar
Patch He began to wonder how Dan
ny Meadow Mouse ever kept from get
ting lost in his own paths. But he
seemed to know just where he was
going. and he ran so fast Little Pete
had hard work not to lose sight of him.
You see Danny had no white tail to
guide him, and SO he had to keep right
at Danny'S heels.
