 teen Stations-Costs
 29 Cents a Message.

(By International News Service.)
 Washington, Nov. 2S.-By using the radio to handle it's rush mes sages the Post Office Department today is saving Uncle Sans money at the rate of over a hundred thou sand dollars year, according to of ficial figures.
 The fifteen stations of the depart ment's Air Mail Service on the trans continental route are handling an estimated total of ten million words la year, of which only 10 per cent lis relay, at an average cost of eigh- ty-eight hundredths of a cent per word. The average length of de- partmental radio message is thirty words, which means that the average message costs the government less than twenty-nine cents.
 The total cost of the radio serv- 1922, was $34,S55.21. Leased wires to handle the traffic would have cost the government $S9,160, it is es-
 
 timated The saving over the reg ular commercial service, according to the departments accountants, was even greater, totalling $53,S97S1.
 The figures show that as the service grew older more traffic was handled by it, at a corresponding cut in the word-cost Here are the departments statistics on the num- Der of words and the cost per word:
 December, 63O,273 words .0O10; January, 726,216, .0079; February, 5SS.400, .009S; March, 633, ,190, .0OS2; April, 612,S76, .00S6; May, .745,036 .0073.
