this abuse and that this IS tho expla-
nation of his letters to registrars In

SAVES 100000
IN MAIL SERVICE
New Lock Saved Freight Rates
and, Besides, Costs Less to
Buy.

Savings totaling $1,000 900 We're ef-
fected last year through those branches
of the postal service administered by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
James J. Blakslee, according To a formal
announcement just issued by Postmaster
General BurlesOn.
The principal economies were made
POSSIBLE in the rural mail service. the
division of supplies and the division Uf
dead letters. The largest single item of
saving was SEQ. 900. resultant from the
adoption of a new mail lock. Careful
estimates showed that approximately
400, 600 of these locks are transported
