BETTER POSTAL SERVICE.

One OF the compromising benefits Of the business
slump Is the improvement in the postal service
Thai Improvement is noticeable almost everywhere,
especially since the first Of the year The holiday
rush was taken of better than the public ex-
pected Now the service in many cities is said to be
approxmating the efficiency OF several years ago.
Mall matter is collected and transmitted more
PROMPTLY. There is less delay particularly with
letters.
The main Of this Improvement Is found in
the fact that postmasters able once more to
obtain competent help During the war they were
deprived Of many Of their best men by the draft.
When the army demobzed most Of those men
stayed and others joined them because of the
lure Of higher wages in industry. 1t was necessary
10 employ large numbers OF temporary" clerks and
carriers without special qualification Naturally the
service suffered. Now the old employees are drifting
back, and good material is seeking post Office
jobs again. that it IS possible apply civil,
service rules normally and discharge those who can
not meet its requirements. Congress promises TO
help the situation stiu more by granting additional
money for the work year.
Better postal service. needless to say will help
to make better business It will also help the pub
lie psychology This may turn cut TO be a year of
efficiency well thrift in public and private at
fairs alike.
