MANY HOURS GAIN IN
TRANSFER OF LETTERS
FROM LINERS To SEApIaN

London, Dec. 13.-"Within a very
reasonable period we shall find all
principal mail liners fitted with sea-
planes" asserts D. H. Bernard, editor
of the Merchant Service Review.
Considerable time will be saved in
the transit of mails. A liner leaving
New York with urgent and important
letters will be able to discharge them
by seaplane 300 to 400 miles west of
the Irish coast; within a few hours
they can be delivered in London, thus
effecting saving of "a hours.
"The same procedure can be car
ried out by a vessel bound to New
York-weather, of course, being an
important factor-for in fine and set
tied weather a well-equipped sea-
plane could travel at an enormous
speed over a considerable distance. 1t
is quite within the bounds of possibil-
ity that lettars posted in London can
be delivered in New Yorls within four
DAYS"
Mr.. Bernard thinsk the service will
at first be subsidiZc by the govern
ments of the two countries.
Similarly, hs says, letters could be
expedited from South America to the
European continent by seaplanes leav-
ing the liners 300 miles off Lisbon or
Gibraltar.

Immediately after birth the navel of

For the first feed the calf should have

greater distance, it is pointed out, than
sirups are likely to be sent by mail.
OF these shipments only three showed
any material loss of contents because
of seepage or leakage and this was due
to unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship

types have screw caps and are pro-

Such packages properly wrapped and
securely tied, marked fragile" as re-
quired by the postal regulations for
packages containing liquids, will carry

HIGH Cost Of Containers.
While the cost of containers is high
at the present time, there are doubtless
many cases in which parcel post mar

good substitutes for sugar. Sugges-
