 business men have received, recently copies af the Postal Bulletin, in which
 Postmaster General Work asks foI eamRFs heRsiNe descriptions Of pFae' iiees and methods followed iR the preparation of mail, which has result sd in eNRediling its distribution through and dispatch from the local nOslaffiee, it IS then RalnRed by the department 10 publish The more im= peFiant suggestions as well as ether methods recommended as practical by those engaged in the work,
 Among the latest innovations for the rapid handling of mail, is the .meierei mail' system, which does away with the operations of facing and eaReeliihg al The Rostaffiee,
 Letters are passed through q meter. attached 10 a sealing machine, which In one operation seals, stamps, ean- cells, stacks and counts them al ihe rate of between $50 and 800 per min ute, Arriving al the nasteffiee this metered mail is immediately taken t0 the separation eases, where it is nouehed and forwarded 10 the mail trains. According To Arthur C, Leu der. postmaster Of Chicago. an aver. age Of fifteen minutes Is gained in the dispatch Of mail. which may mean a several hours earlier delivery, due 70 rapid handling at the local office with the attending ability 10 catch earlier outgoing trains.
 Bearing out the statement of Mr, Ieuder. tho use Of metered mail by The Associated Press has saved sev- eral hours daily labor in stamping and sealing envelopes allowing for its rapid dispatch. which in turn permits 1t 10 reach the recipient proportion ately earlier. X glance at the meter also instantly permits a person 10 know tho exact amount Of mail sent out as well as the postage on hand. The Associated Press also ties its mail in state packages, properly labelled. so that when 1t reaches the postoffice. instead Of going to the separating cases. it is immediately pouched and started on its dectination with further saving of minutes. oftimes hours, in the despatching postoffice.
 It is pointed out that through tho | use of metered mail, the government | is saved the initial cost of printing, | counting and distributing stamps | which in printed sheets are counted | many times at the printery. The loss from lost stamps to those diverted 10 other than strictly company business is also eliminated through the use of metered mail, Postmaster Leuder said.
