Something of the popularity OF
KDYS, The Tribune brOadcasting sta
ton. may be gathered from the partial
directory of sources from which letters
have com telling of listening to this
first of Montana sending stations.
1t is impossible even to estimate the
number of people who have received

besieged with calls during the same

It will be seer from the list published

successful in sending to points all over
the northwest. reaching as far south
as Mesa. Ariz.; east into Minnesota and
Kansas; north well up into Canada. and
west to ships miles off the Pacific

POSTAL MISTAKES
MAY BE AVOIDED
Department Official Says Pub
lie Is to Blame for Many
Errors In Mail.

That much of the criticism leveled
at the postal authorities is due to
the carelessness of the people them
selves and thar they are the ones
who really pay for their carelessness
is the contention of John II. Bart
lett, first assistant postmaster gene
raj, in communication received by
local Postmaster John n Hunter,
Saturday.
Contents Of the message read:
THE postal authorities call your
attention to the fact that there were
$4,000, 900 pieces of mail that they
must handle three 10 seven times
oftener than they would have had
to handle them had they been pro
perry. prepared.
And even after they have ex-
hausted every means Of Identification
and salvage, they succeed in deliv-
ering only slightly more than one
fifth Of this amount.
And this does not include vast
quantities of newspapers which are
not properly addressed and which
are destroyed because they cannot
be delivered.
Nearly 500 employees are engaged
in correcting the common. prevent
able errors of the people in Chicago
alone. The only reason that the
postoffice can stand for this drain
upon its resources is that the people
pay the bill.
There ought to be a general cam
paign of education with the object Of
impressing upon the people the i'm
portance of properly preparing and
addressing anything they put into a
mail box.
Another waste caused by sheer
thoughtlessness, arises from the Gus
tom of many business houses holding
their mail until the close of the bust
ness day, when they release it to the
pOstoffice as a veritable deluge All
day, cancelling machines. distribut-
ing cases and other facilities OF
handling the mail which are practi-
cally taxed 10 capacity during the
rush, are idle. II people would
change their mailing habits to the
extent Of depositing their mail two
hours earlier than they do. it would
revolutionize the postal system.
After all. the postoffice is the
great public servant and it be-
hooves every citizen Of the country
20 make that servant as efficient as
/ possible.
Much of the criticism leveled al
the postof1ce is due to the careless
ness Of the general public
