were approximately that number of
cases which were actually tried. or IN
which some disposition was made with

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

The growth of the parcel post, not
Withstanding the falling off in other
classes of the mail, was the most
notable feature of the years record Of
the Post Office Department, the latest
count at fifty leading cities showing
the handling of 30.93s,73o parcels. ag-
gregating 4l.s1a.452 pounds and pro-
ducing postage receipts amounting to
s1S5G,e42 50, indicating that the service
is now probably handling a billion par
cells annually.
Another surprise was the showing OF
the postal savings system. notwith-
standing the depressing enects OF the

number of depositors reaching o23.4l4,
and the deposits sG5,6S470s, gain OF
1863 depositors, or 35.2 per cent. and
of s22,240,437 in deposits. or o1.2 per
cent.
The first actual test of the use Of
government-owne automobiles was
made during the year and was so sue
cessful that the department contem-
plates a wider use of this means of
handling the mails, especially in the
combination of what is konwn as the
screen wagon, collection and delivery
services.
proved by the elimination of what the
department terms the duplication of
travel and unnecessary retracinR of the
rural carriers routes so that more
than 100000 of the appropriation re-
mained uneXpended at the close of the
year. although the service itself was
extended to more than 100000 patrons
and new service was provided where
necessary. Much was accomplished, it
is claimed. by the authorization of the
use Of motor vehicles on rural routes.
Effective September 1, new insurance
features were provided-one rate Of
3 cents, where the indemnity did not
amount to more than IS and another of
rs cents where the indemnity did not ex-
ceed 81 90, these in addition to the existing
rates of 5 cents for indemnity not ex-
ceeding $25 and 10 cents for indemnity
not exceeding $50. Parcel post service
exchange with Argentina was arranged,
effective October Is.
The department was put to a severe
test by reason of the war in arranging
for foreign mail service, yet up to as
late as November frequent mail service
to the various European countries was
maintained. mail for the belligerent
countries being so routed as to pre-
vent the passage Of mail for one
through another. During the year
12,1633S4 pounds of mail were dis
patched to foreign countries, yet only
1885 pounds of 1t were lost, and that
through the sinking of the Lusitania.
