rUMANIZING the postof1ce Is work
that apparently is going grandly on,
- II though it may not have reached the
point where clerk will say "Thank
you' and ask you to call again when you nave
bought a money order.
Ocular demonstration of the progress OF the
work Of humanizing the system is shown IN the
accompanying photograph of employees in the
indianapolis Office throwing mail to the music
of phonograph.
There may be- a catch in this particular
phase of the humanizng work which even the
postoffice employees do not suspect 1t savors
something OF the scheme said to be successfully
tried by dairymen-phonograph being turned
on in the barn at milking time. Music, it is
claimed, induces COWS to give more milk. Per-
haps also it will get more work out Of those
whose business It is to toss mail matter into
it's proper receptacles.
But, no matter what industrial results are
achieved as by-products of the humanizing
campaign, vast possibilities seem to be opened
I'D by this installation Of governmental phono-
graphs in places where nothing but the thud
of packages and the swish Of letters have been
heard hitherto.
If the postofice can be "humanized" by
means of phonograph records why will not the
same plan work in other fields? Why to pur-
sue the matter relentlessly to the familiar log
ical conclusion, would not phonograph soften
the temper and features of the who sells
tickets for popular theatrical attractions-or,
rather, fhe man who informs you that he has
no ticks to sell. Under the spell of phono-

A Collision With An Alligator.

To dive into a pool and unexpected
ly strike an alligator with your hands
sounds as il it might be dangerous. In
most cases doubtless it would be. but
that is precisely what an early settler
Of Texas did, and he escaped unhurt.
Deciding to take a swim one Satur-
day evening, he backed off few steps
and made running dive that sent him
clear across the narrow bayou. An
alligator about twelve feet long was
lying in the rushes on the opposite side
waitig for anything edible that might
come his way. Well, the Texan went
his way as il he had been thrown from
catapult and struck him fair and hard
in the side with his head. Probably
the alligator thought he was some for
midable enemy, for with rush that
made the water foam he retreated down
the bayou. The Texan "cut a blue
streak" for his own side OF the stream.
