GOT MAIL THROUGH QUICKLY
Efficient System That Was in Use by
the Romans Some Hundreds
Of Years Ago.

While the Roman postal service Of
ancient days was, of course, a crude
system, yet the mails were forwarded
with considerable speed. The system
Of couriers on horseback was borrowed
from the Persians, who. according to
Xenophon. had established 1t under
Cyrus. The Roman adaptation of this
was the best system of transmitting
letters among the ancients.
All along the great Roman roads sta.
tions were erected at distances Of five
or six miles from one another. At each
Of these stations 40 horses were con-
stantly maintained, and by the help of
relays It was easy to travel 100 miles
in a day.
These services were intended for
the state only. it being imperative to
secure the rapid interchange of official
communications. In the time of julius
Caesar the system was so we'll organ
lied that of two letters the great SOL
der wrote from Britain to Cicero at
Rome the one reached its destination
in 26 and the other in % days.
Private citizens were obliged to re-
sort to the services of slaves, and It
was not until the end of the third CEN
fury that there was an establishment
Of a postal system for private persons
by the Emperor Diocletian; but how
long this system endured history does
not inform US.
The supply Of horses and their
maintenance was compulsory, and only
the emperor could grant exemption
from it.

in this cultivation the window boxes

NEWS OF STEELTON
WAR ORDERS ARE
FEATURE OF WEEK
Contracts For 10000 Tons of
Shell Booked; Trade
Shows Down

THE placing of new contracts for
upward of 100000 tons of shell steel
in the form of blooms and rounds and
the negotiations for as much more war
steel, including $4,000 tons for Russia
and ITALY," says the Iron Age in its
weekly review to-day. ARE the chief
developments of the week. Otherwise
the steel trade has slowed down, as it
has long needed to do.
steel companies which some weeks
ago were turning away domestic busi-
ness for this year seem to have re-
served space for renewals of contracts
with belligerent countries. Foreign
and home consumers in some cases
have virtually competed for the avail
able steel, the highest price deciding
which should get ii.
The labor situation in the Pitts
burgh district is clearing up. The loss
of pig iron and steel production was
small but foundry and machine shop
strikes are still noticeably affecting
consumption.
THE Steel Corporations rail con-
tracts in April prevented a consid-
erable falling off from the previous
rate of increase in untitled orders. AT
the unheard-of total of 9,S29,551 tons
on April 80, last months increase was
49S,550 tons, against 762,O35 tons in
March and GAG, 199 tons in February"

MUCH SENTIMENT
FOR TWO LOANS
Would Motorize Fire Depart
ment and Make Steelton Best
Paved Borough

Prominent citizens of the borough
are uniting in an effort to insure pass
age of the two improvement loans to
be voted upon in Steelton next Tues
day. The Municipal League to a man
almost has gone upon record as favor
ing adoption of the two measures and
will urge their friends to vote Yes"
on Tuesday.
In speaking OF the loans this morn
ing a prominent resident said:
IF Steelton voters wish to maintain
the borough's reputation as a pro-
gressive town they should by all means
approve both bond issues. BY so doing
they will insure motorization of the
borough's very efficient fire depart
ment and also permit council to de-
wise more efficient plans for collecting
garbage.
'They will also make ii possible to
make Steelton the best paved borough
in Pennsylvania. With the eight miles
of paved streets in the borough now,
passage of the S55, 900 loan for paving
will make 1t possible to have every
thoroughfare OF any importance in
the borough paved.
ITO defeat the loans would be a step
backward. 1t would be telling outside
people that Steelton is dissatisfied with
its unrivaled public improvements.
For reasons of civic pride the voters
should give both items their hearty
endorsement"

boarded an open trolley car ana
seated himself at the outside end OF

About half way up the mountain,
the overhead trolley wire, heavily
charged with electricity, broke. One
writhing, spluttering end wrapped 1t
self around Mr.. Wagner's head and
face Instinctively he reached out his
right hand and tore the deadly wire
away but not before he was painfully
burned about the nose and mouth.
One side of his moustache was re-
moved as with a razor, his hat was
cut in several places and his suit
burned about the shoulders. The hand
with which he grasped the wire was
badly scared by the powerful current
which hurled him to the floor of the
car. He was taken to physician
office and later to the Homeopathic
Hospital in Reading. He returned
home yesterday afternoon. In addi-
tion to his burns, he is suffering con-
siderably from nervous shock caused
by his trying experience.
