THE PERFECT POSTMASTER

postmaster who advertises for more business
is almost unique in the annals of American history.
Nashville, Tenn, has such official He wants more
and more mail sent through his postoffce, and in
order to encourage citizens to crafty his desire for
work he bombards his fellow-ctzens with mmeograph
letters advising them to correspond to advertise by
MAIL and even dares them to try to swamp him and his
postal force.
And then, having aroused citizens interest he pro-
ceeds to bawl them out thoroughly, but merry, for
their shortcomings. Legibe writing, correct address
properly stamped packages and similar things he
pleads for with wit and that surely must take
effect.
He lists the things that women frequently do
wrong-such writing notes on the pages of maga-
zines ppers they are mailing affixing one-cent
stamp all packages of papers, matter what they
weigh and not leaving enough for the address
on envelopes. Then he adds:
"The splendid improvement in the Nashville mail
service which made famous from Ellis Island to the
Golden Gate, made possible by the best of
earth-the young business women in the many
offices of Nashville.
whats become of the old-fashioned typist who
kept both feet the floor nd wrote Md like MOP"
Certainly town with postmaster like that ought
to take interest in its mail service and should be
alert to obey all the instructions the postal authorities
make for efficiencys sake And what boon his anec
dotes and bright saying be in otherwise monot
onous routine

kettle spout so the steam wouldn t
puff out until he was ready.
Hotter and hotter blazed the fire.
Harder and harder boiled the water
in the kettle, making much steam.
Until, all of sudden, just as
Uncle Wiggily got there, the steam
pushed the cork out of the kettle
spout.
"Bingl Bang!" The cork hit I'm
Gle Wiggily on the end of his pink
nose and he cried: WOwchie wow!
just like the Fox.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! We re so
sorryn' barked Jackie when he saw
what had happened. owe didn t
know you were coming!"
"And / didn't know that cork
was coming eitherl' laughed the
bunny gentleman, rubbing his nose.
" Never mind! I'm not much hurt.
Only IN have to take the kettle
in to Nurse Jane. You can't play
steam engine any more"
However, he gave the doggie boys
each a penny and they bought lolly-
pops and made believe they were
gum drops, 50 they had just as much
fun.
But please don't any of you put
cork in the tea kettle or You
might get burned. And if the
chocolate pudding doesn't stay so
late at the movies that the coffee
cake has no one to help it jump
over the table, IN tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the pop

PROSPEROUS PANAMA CANAL

The Panama Canal is continuing its prosperous
career. Receipts there for the past year reached
S24 963 about three times the cost of operation
and maintenance. That leaves pleasing surplus for
sinking fund for amortization of the canal bonds.
This huge volume of business is indicative of the
true usefulness of the canal The tolls reasonable
and are levied equally upon the shipping of all nations
That continues to use the canal in increasing
volume shows that patrons consider the route well
worth the cost.
This is an interesting situation compared with that
Of the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal Company is for
hidden by its charter to declare dividends above GER
tain rate When the charter drawn neither engi-
neer nor economists far enough into the future to
realize the money making possibilities of the canal.
So now when dividends start to mount above the pre-
scribed rate tolls must be reduced
So long as rates are fair Uncle Sans way Of letting
his canal make money for itself seems wise.

History of Pickwick Stages
in California Given Here
Tells of Rapid Development

Back in 1912, on dusty stretch
of road between San Diego and
Escondido, the first Pickwick motor
coach---a little converted Ford ear
undertook its premier voyages. Its
pilot was "Pop Hayes, now vice
president of the Pickwick Corpora
.tion, which controls stage lines over
more than 5000 miles of West Coast
highways.
For that one crude little stage
of twelve years ago, today there
coaches-long of wheel base, deep
ly cushioned-modcls of engineer
ing skill that ply their swift way
far off Portland, Ore, with Los
Angeles us the center of this maze
of lines, serving a population OF
100000 people.
The fiftv-mile route first fol
lowed has increased sixty times
overland during "a single year,
the number of passengers, carried
has totaled almost Il million.
Two Great Divisions
Two great divisions were com
bined to form the Pickwick sys-
tenn of today. They are Pickwick
Stages Southern Division, consist
ing of highway routes south of
Los Angeles and Pickwick Stages
Northern Division, extending from
Los Angeles through San Fran
cisco to Portland, Ore.
Gets Sobriques
Southern division had its incep-
ton with the San Diego Escondido
line in 1912, consolidating with
the old '.'Scenic Route" and I'M
perial Valley Stages" to Ell Cen
tro that same year. The name
=" Pickwick' originated here.
When "Pop' Hayes first operat-
ed his one-vehicle stage line to
Escondido from San Diego, pas
sengers were taken aboard at the
old Piekwick Theater i'll San Diego.
The sobriquet 90 Pickwick' was
given the new line-and stuck.
The ".S;,n Diego and Back Coun-
try.'' line to Julian and Dcscanso,
unlocking the beauty of the San
Diego mountains was added during
the first year of operation. An
other advance was made in 1916
as the Pickwick lines were ex

FOREIGN CONVENTIONS

The United States has become peculiarly the land
of the national convention Indeed this might be call
ed an American institution. Nothing has been more
characteristic in recent years than the custom Of hay
ing every group of citizens possessing common inter-
est of any kind assemble, in person or by representa-
ton, at some city or other, during the year
Virtually every organized human activity com
mercial Industrial, social, political economic regi.
ous educational recreational or otherwise has yielded
to the lure OF the annual convention. And by common
consent 1t has been good thing.
Usually the activity represented has benefited
from the assembage of like minds. Leaders and work
ers have learned from each other Good ideas have
spread Contact with other sections and cities has
natlonazed minds that might otherwise have remain
ed local. The nation has been woven closely to-
gether and made effective instrument for big
accomplishment along any line
Now we seem to be passing to a stage-the
world convention, Two big events of that kind have
just occurred The United States sent 1000 delegates
to world assemblage of advertising in London
and 1000 lawyers to meeting of world bar associa,
ton in the same city.
This is but beginning Conventions as we have
all learned beget conventions. Americans once lured
abroad, want to go again We probably in now
for an interminable series of world conventions in
which American naturally will play big part
1t Will do America good, and it may do the Old
World still more good. When the nations of the world
once form the habit of getting together along business
and professional lines, they will have fewer racial and
political differences.

CHAPERONING THE WORLD FLYERS

A fleet of cruisers from the United States navy
the Atlantic at forced speed to cooperate with
the army aviators in their last big jump, from Eng
land to America.
1t is fine thing to do 1t shows how thoroughly
the United States government is committed to making
the world flight success and how determined it to
do everything in its power to help the avators Yet
with all the appreciation the fiers must feel for such
solictude in their behalf it may be that they feel just
little resentment in their hearts at being too much
chaperoned.
The French and British aviators competing with
them have glory by their individual daring, with
very little support The fact has raised their achieve
ments from the realm of transportation to that Of al
most pure sport The American aviators may feel
many landsmen safe on their good soil certainly
do that isn't quite sporting to have much help.
STILL the government has admitted that this is
sporting event.
