BY JOHN III. BARTLETT.
'irst Assistant Postmaster General and For.
mer Governor of New Hampshire.

D1 JohN III. bAHILEII.
First Assistant Postmaster General and For.
mer Governor of New Hampshire.
IN HE parcel post business of
the post Office service must be
completely and absolutely di-
vorced from the mail of
communication before we will have
a perfect postal system.
The Postmaster General is already
embarked upon a policy of effectu-
ating such division of the service;
in fact be has gone a considerable
distance upon that road.
Parcel post has been in operation
about ten years and it has grown
from nothing to about two billion
parcels a year, which is five times as
much as the largest express company
handles.
During this phenomenal growth up
until a comparatively recent period,
valuable letters, or 1 might ny let
ters beyond value, have received their
dispatch in company with farm pro-
duce, one-day old chickens. bricks.
and every variety and description Of
merchandise, until at present when
the bulk Of parcel post far exceeds
the bulk of all other mail.
The post office service last year ham
died about twelve billion letters.
All Mail Increasing.
Both classes of mail, in fact l may
say all classes of mail, are increas-
ing rapidly. Such increase is wide
prosperity. But its augmentation is
also extraordinary and unprecedent-
ed in spots. Some cities show an in
crease of 80 and 40 per cent over
last year. The growth and develop
ment of mail order houses is phe-
nomenal. They are constantly SPRING
ing up in new sections of the coun-
try.
There need be no concealment of
the fact that the Post Office Depart
ment has its ingenuity taxed to the
nth degree to keep pace not only with
the growth of the service, but with
its sensational changes.
On October 1, through the consent
of the budget and President Coolidge.
the department., ndVlIS ScIeHtlicdilS
budgeted its needs for the balance of
the year, put into service about 1000
additional clerks and carriers in or
der to keep full pace with the new
demands.
Generally speaking. over the coun-
try we are not only having good
postal service, but having it at a cost
which is the envy of every other kind
of business known.
IT should be borne in mind also that
the department is not losing very
much money. Our deficit last year
was about thirty millions in a total
of six hundred millions. In other
words, we got back 80 cents for
every dollar we spent.
Work for Other Departments.
And that is not the whole story.
For that cents which we did not
get back, or let me say for that
thirty millions, we did work for the
Treasury Department which could
not be done by any other agency for
less than ten million dollars. We also
carried free of postage all franked
mail of all the departments and all
federal governmental business every
where. which would probably amount
to fifteen million dollars, for a rough

1t may also be that the patentee is
claiming his patent is basic one when,
in fact, it is merely an improvement
patent. The patent Office has in its
archives the original proceedings lead
ing up to the granting of that patent,
so that any person threatened with
suit may see the original proceedings
and get certified copies of them.
Frequently these certified copies alone
will prevent the patentee from fore
ing payment of royalties.
Within the patent Office building, and
it is interesting to note that it was
here that Lincoln's inaugural ball was
held, is a large courtyard. fifteen feet
