nual report Mr.. Hays recommended
that the Post Office Department be
called the Communications depart
ment" Many wondered why he made
that recommendation.
He was thinking about radio.
He and his ieutenants believe that
the country, is on the eve Of big
events. when the wireless will become
the greatest means of communication
between people throughout the coun-
try. When that happens they want
the postal service to be in control,
because they believe that the Post
Ofloe Department is the logical place
to lodge control of such a great
means Of communication.
The air currents will have to be
limited. controlled. licensed in some
manner when that day comes. This
is the belief of Mr.. Hayes and his
aides Just how it will be worked out
nobody knows at this date, but that
some such control is coming they are
sure.
When that becomes necessary the
postal service will go forward to still
greater things, manned by workers
imbued with the spirit of humanity,
trained in their work and inspired
by visions.
Coordinate will be the reorganixa-
ton Of the motor transportation serv-
ice. another tremendously important
branch. At present the service has
about 1000 trucks delivering mail,
with 5000 persons employed upon
them. This is but beginning, and In

Too BusytoM Improve
When opportunity knocks at your door,
do you ans,cer, II haven't tin,e"?
BY ]. OGDEN ARMOUR.

This Is the age-old excuse that
has kept many a man from making
his mark. In its capacity for COW,
erine a multitude Of shortcom-
ings, it has no equal
It's the worlds greatest alibi.
Whoever admits that he is too
busy to improve his methods has
acknowledged himself to be at the
end of his rope. And that is al
ways the saddest predicament
which any one can, get into.
For there is a vast difference be-
tween being busy and making
progress. When we see that clear
1y. we have gained an important
bit Of wisdom.
The easiest thing some people do
Is to keep busy.
You have seen the person who is
always busy-doing trivial things.
Opportunity comes to him as to
all others. but he is SO occupied
with sharpening his lead pencil,
reading the mail or attending to
other ordinary duties. that he has
no time to listen. The routine Of
his work swallows him up, and'he
forEets what he is busy for. His
fayorite idea, and his response to
all requests is, IT haven't time"
The man who makes progress Is
of a different stripe. He doesn't
steal the ONCE boys work In order
to keep engaged. He does not
think Of his job as something to
NIL up his time. but as something
to accomplish. He has a goal, and
he is always thinking. planning
and seeking the quickest and best
way to attain it.
Man must often choose between
cha trivial and the worth while

to the workers.
The result was shown. for one
thing. in the really tremendous man
ner in which the postal service ham
died the increased Christmas mails

This new spirit in the postal ser

thoughts and deeds of postal work:
ers, plus new equipment along the
material side, will finally result in
a postal service in this country SO
much better than the present service
that this present service. as fine as
it now is. some day will look like a
joke. This may seem a large state
ment, but it is made seriously. and
with the full authority of postal
heads.

Postal officials. including the Post
master General, feel that they have
not begun to increase the efficiency
of the postal service. The more they
see improvements. the more they

which Mr. Hays has established. they
expect the service some day to be
capable of producing its own Post.

that day comes the service will tran
