TO TIE UP MAIL

Washington, Sept 17-Sorne idea of
the amount of mail handled by the
postoffice department and the energy
required to prepare properly for de-

for bids for 1900, 600 pounds of Irvine
with which to tie up letters. That
even this vast amount may not be
sufficient is indicated by the added
appeal that inventors of substitute
tying devices enter the competition for
the material ''as it may be required
