The Postal Service $500 Years Ago

IT'S A long Jump from the postal system in the DAYS of the
L Persians under Cyrus, in the sixth century before Christ. to the
air mails of today.
William C. Deming, president of the United States civil ser
vice commission, in an article on the history of the postal sys-
TENS, tells US that the first organized postal system of which there
is definite record was operated by the Persians. Camcls were
principally used as . means Of transportation.
IN the Book Of Esther, chapter s, verse 10, the following APP
pears:
And he wrote in the King Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it
with the kings ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback. and
riders on mules, camels ana young dromedaries."
There is no record Of what ii cost to carry a message in those
days, but we can easily ascertain the time required to deliver a
message. But most remarkable, in the light Of the rapid develop
nent that mas taken place n the past century, is the fact that
postal servicewas no faster 200 years ago than it was $500 wears
ago. Up to the coming OF the steam engine and rail transporta-
ton, people still received their mails, if any, by horse or other
animal.
The Spanish conquest of South America disclosed a well or
gained system of the Peruvians. This system is described in
Prescotts history as established on all the great routes that
conducted to the capital"
"Along those routes" the historian continues. "small buidinos
were erected at distances of less than five miles asunder, in each
OF which a number OF runners were stationed to carry forward
the dispatches OF government. The dispatches were long strings,
peculiarly knotted according to a code resembling the Morse al
phabet for telegraphy., These strings were wound about the
waist OF the runner, who was uniformed to show his official en-
rand. The runners were relayed at short distances, so that it
was possible for important news from outlying provinces to be
carried to the Inca at the rate of $50 miles a day"
Long strides have indeed been made in the worlds postal SER
vice in the past hundred years. What will the next hundred
show.

fled Bob" From which the hairdressers get the glory and many

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
 OVER SEMINARIANS
St. Thomas TrOunCed to Tune of
 S6 to 10 in Hartford

The veteran St. Thomas seminary team went down before the onslaught Of the speedy N. B. H. S. basketball team Saturday aSternoon at the West Middle gymnasium, Hartford, S6 to 10.
 Locals Take Lead
 Before the game the dope had it that the Red and Gold were in for trimming and in the first minute of play it certainly looked that way when Jackie" Walsh Tipped in a double decker. This was the only goal the Hartford team made until the last few minutes Of the game. Immedi- ately after the St. Thomas scored, Nelpp broke away from his man and made a pretty goal tying the score. This was followed by two field goals and a foul goal by Beloin. and anoth- CT field goal by Neipp. The first quar- ter ended with the score to ? in favor of the Hardware City team.
 Wodarski opened the second quar- ter with a foul goal. Then the New Britain machine got going, and made so many points that Scorer Saunders had all he could do 10 keep track of them. Field goals by Belser and Neipp, and a foul goal by Zehrer bought the New Britain score up to i9. Larry" Walsh made one more point for his team by way of the foul line. The score at half time was 19 to 4, New Britain.
 In the third period the Saints did not score a point. Neipp started the Red and Gold team off with foul goal. This was followed by field goals by Neipp and Beloin in the order named. The latter also scored two foul goals, Belser and German added to the teams total with a foul goal each.
 Jackie" Walsh again scored field goal with but four minutes to play This was the second field goal of the game for the Sen" boys. They had been held without a goal from the floor since the first minute of the game. Larry" Walsh also contribut- ed a field goal and two fouls in the latter part of the game, bringing tho total for his team 10 10. In the mean time the New Britain substitutes went into the game Haber took Zehrers place at left guard and Beagle took Germans place at right guard. Cor man was then shifted to left forward where his offensive work was on par with his excellent defensive playing

ONLY 5 AMERICAN LEAGUE
 PITCHERS WON 20 GAMES
They Arc Uhle, Dauss. Jones. shorker and ElImIc-wood Had
 Great Record

Just five pitchers in the American league won 20 or more games in 1928. They were: Uhlc, Cleveland; Dauss. Detroit: Jones, Yankees; Shocker. Browns, and Ehmke. Red Sox. Thle led with 26 triumphs Tn 1922 Eddie Rommei Of the Athletics was high man with 27.
 But where do these performances come in when compared 10 those turned ia during the old days. h the days when Jack Chesbro, Ed. Walsh. Joe Wood and the like were in their prime. Twenty victories for q major circuit hurler were nothing unusual then. Not by long shot.
 Back along in 19B4. when Chesbro was in the heyday of his career. he reached the 70 mark in games won. And so did Walsh in 1908. That year Big Ed" toiled in pretty close to % games. He won 70 and lost 15. < Lit different than that accomplished by present day gunners.
 In 1912. Joe Wood then with the Red Sox. put over s4 wins. He lost but five games all season. The fol- lowing year Walter Johnson came through with 36 victories against sev- en defeats. And there have been several others who have done almost as well.
 But things are t1stly different nowadays. And it Is considered quite 2 feat for q pitcher to cop g9 tits during tho campaign. though iu 1920 Jim Bagby obtained 31 trinmphs while with Cleveland. That was the exception to the rule. however
