POStOffice Department Finds
New Method Success.
kilograms Would Be Much
More Costly, Report Shows.
(By The Associated Press. }


Washington, Aug. 16.-The use of
postoffice radio stations has resulted
in considerable saving to the depart
.ment in cutting its bills for kilograms.
according to a recent announcement.
The postoffice department uses its
fifteen radio stations between New
York and San Francisco TO keep in di-
rect touch with the progress of air
mail across the country and to do TINS
with telegra ms would be very costly.
it was said Figures compiled by the
officials of the radio stations show
that the cost per word of radio service
is less than one-eighth of one cent.
1t is absolutely necessary to follow
the planes from station to station TO
find out how the mails move and TO
warn flyers of storm or other weather
conditions. The Washington station
of the department handles one thou
sand such messages a month. 1t was
declared. other stations have even
heavier radio traffic.
Besides using the radio to keep III
touch with the mail planes. the de-
partment uses the wireless to send out
administra tive orders. receive requist-
tions for supplies and to get reports
from inspectors on the condition OF
mail transportation during the strike.
among other routine business. In ad-
dition the postoffice radio stations

warnings and announce the market
