LETTERS GETTING SMALLER
Comparative Figures Show More
Pieces to Pound.

BY Uaiied Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ll.-Americans are
writing shorter letters.
This statement was confirmed today by
comparative figures made Of the postoflice
department upon the weight Of the aver
age letter that goes through the mail.
Back in 1907, on the average there were
forty pieces Of first class mail to every
pound
Now the same data shows that there
are forty-6ve pieces of first class mail to
every pound. This means that the weight
of the average letter is less, and. the let.
ter, therefore, shorter.
