It is but common justice to award due credit in these administrative re- forms to the Fourth Assistant General, in whose Bureau these measures of econ omy were developed and who has so faithfully devoted his time to that purpose.

quantity of mail bags in use. The form of label used in the past and still used by clerks all over the country is the doubling and re- folding of what is known as a = facing slip The preparation of these labels by the thous- ands has been and is an expens- i've proposition, yet there appears to have been no effort on the part of previous administrations to progress from the old method. Under present direction per forated label in sheets and runs has been designed which is prac- tically ready for use when fur nished to employees. Every pos tai clerk in the country and thousands of post-office em- ployees will find this new meth cd of great advantage and 1t will result in a large economy in the service.
 There have also been some oth CT notable improvements made, viz, the substitution of steel where brass was formerly used, at very considerable lessening of expense; a device for fasten- ing foreign mail pouches, doing away with the old fashioned method of string and seal; a scheme for saving twine by means of a simple holder which permits free and easy use without waste, and a flexible stamp design, for which the contract price was ;}4 cents, but which will now be made at cost of but 5 cents. \ mechanical pickup or facing table for Use in facing and stack ing letters in first-class postoffices has also been developed and will soon be perfected. This device is considered superior to those now in use and costs less than Ione-third as much to manufae- ture. Those at present in Use cost approximately S1.500.
 It will thus be seen that the activities of the Post Office De partment have been eentered along lines which will not only produce large economies to the people of the country, but will also prove great convenience

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Thousands of Dollars Saved An nually By Adopting Modern
 Methods.

The interest of people in public affairs is considerably heighten- ed when they learn that the rev enues of the Government are wisely and iudiciously managed. A statement of economical ex- penditure which IS susceptible of proof will always attract atten- tion and please the thoughtful reader.
 Among the varied industrial enterprises of the Post Office Department in Washington is an establishment devoted entirely to the manufacture of mail locks and the bag attachments used in mail transportation. When this administration came into power, the Department sorely needed an improved type of mail lock. The shop was immediately reorgan- ized, placed on business basis, and it's activities enlarged so as to meet this imperative demand. Within very short time a new and greatly improved lock had been devised and it's production begun
 The lock in use weighed , 1-2 ounces; the new one weighs ? 4-5 ounces. As 430.000 of this new product have been put into ser vice, the difference in weight (the Government paying as much for the weight of equipment as 1t does for the mail itself can be easily calculated. The locks replaced by this new and better style cost 21 cents each to make; those now being manufactured cost 1-2 cents. direct and indi- rect charges considered, the saving thus shown on original cost of production to date amount to S53, ,750 Of the old style, 36,009 were annually returned for repair at cost of about cents each Of the new style. out of  the great number sent=into the service, but 906 have been re- turned. and as these new style locks can be repaired at a cost of 3 cents each, the annual saving on this item will amount to over $2,100.
 The Department has in this ad- ministration encouraged it's em- ployees to give their best service to the Government and many in stances have recently come to notice wherein the Department has greatly profited by this wise public policy. In the lock shop a recent achievement in this di- rection is an improved cord fast ener. the work of three of it's employees, for Use on bags, al- so ona designed for locking large quantities of parcel post matter. which has heretofore been with out this protection. Ii can be made at a very low price. reqoiI- ing less material and q fewer number of operations. The sig nificant part of this lies in the great number required in the ser vice, between three and four mil lions. the output being 100000 annually As the cost has been reduced by the new method from i 1-2 10 3 cents each it will be seen what a splendid showing this makes for administrative ec- onomy.
 Another valuable improvement has been the perfected locking cord fastener designed for use on tie sacks, something which the Department for years has needed and vainly endcaTored to to accomplish This device will ne of great value to the postal service at large hy increasing the capacity and efficiency of mail bags 10 a degree difficult to cs- timate.

were sunk, off Nantucket, among them
