SORTING MACHINE REDUCES
COST OF HANDLING MAIL,

Speed, accuracy and economy, the
prerequisites of efficiency in the mail
ing divisions Of our big post Off
ces, are raised to a new high level
by a remarkable mail-sOrting and as
sembling apparatus described and ill
ustrated in the May Popular Mechan-
les Magazine Until recently it has
been necessary to do all this work
by hand. With the machine, which
in handling first-class mail serves
about the same function as does the
linotype in the printing industry,
labor is reduced about SO per cent
and an actual money saving of so
cents per thousand letters effected.
Conveyors bring letters direct from
the canceling machines to feed ia
bles, where power-operated chains
move them into the reading positions
before the operators as rapidly as the
latter can dispatch them. A specta-
tor at each of these places, embody-
ing the essential principles of the
cancelling machine, counts and re-
cords the number of letters handled.
and imprints on each character
identifying the operator. The prac-
ticality of the machine has been
demonstrated at the Chicago post
office. where a, model, with a single
keyboard, was used experimentally
for about a year.

CHEMICALS
FOR COOT|ES
(By Associated Press.)

Des Moines, Ia, Aug 2i.-Women
in Iowa will continue to make cuotie-
proof trench underwear for soldiers
from this state. despite the recent
statement that the garments were
unsatisfactory.
Governor Harding recently reeeiv-
ed letter from Col. T. r. Bennett,
commanding the Iowa regiment in
the Rainbow Division. saying the gar
ments did not perform the function
for which they were intended.
While Col Bennett expressed the
belief that the elimination Of the
"cootie" or trench louise trouble
could not be accomplished through
the wearing Of chemical treated un-
dergarments. the women say a SINH
lar treatment has been endorsed by
the Canadian government and is in
wide use.
II is thought by leaders Of the cam
paign here that the garments supplied
the l6Sth Infantry unit Of the
Rainbow Division-were Of too light
texture, and that the garments more
recently made Of heavier material
will prove effective.
