urgent cases. The purpose of the cam paign is to advise ex-Service persons of their rights. While in this city inc rep resentatives are to make their head quarters at the office of Dr. W. P. s. Heating, commander of James J. Shea post. No. 1s, American Legion.
 In the daily letters from the office of the postmaster general the following mo- tice appears which is of interest to the travelling public:
 The bun eau of general governmental information recently established in the post office department here for the ben eft of visitors to Washington is render ing a real service.
 We hear, too, many expressions of appreciation of the service of postmasters over the country in designating on the post office building in some prominent way, the name of the city, these appre- citations coming particularly from tour ists.
 We find that several postmasters have gone further and have combined sue cessfully the idea of General Informa- ton, Post Office Hospitability, and par ticularly information for tourists. Thousands of tourists are mothriZS up and down the country and postnlasters and postal employees have the opportuni- 1 ty of being of practical help to such | strangers in the communities, whose | greatest difficulties lie in securing re- l liable information concerning the terri 1 tory through which they are passing and catching up with the mail from , home It is suggested that the postmaster { or some designated clerk in each office | might, without any serious loss of time l in his regular work, so equip himself | as to be able to give quick and reliable 1 data to inquirers concerning directions | Gc. and other general information that l may be useful, in addition to giving careful and cheerful attention to the
 travellers mail inquiries.
 It is suggested that postmasters makt i it policy to make strangers feel al | 1ome while on post office property. WILL H. HAYS,
