The news rates are calculated to de-
yelop a new class Of Geographic

suffer the delays inseparable from
physical transportation In the mails
but which will not stand the higher

longer night letters. The new sery-

designed TO supplement and round
out the night letter service The
minimum night message rate Is zoe.
and for 25c ten-word overnight mes
