Short Cuts Slice 100000
From Mail Carriers
Yearly Trips.

Uncle Sans 275 city mail carriers
in indianapolis, who already walk
approximately 100000 miles year,
would walk an additional 100000
miles annually if suggestion re-
ceived by Postmaster Robert H. Bry-
son should be followed, it was esti-
mated today.
Recently a woman patron wrote
to Bryson suggesting mail carriers
be instructed not to walk on lawns
in the residential district
Bryson explained that carriers
have instructions to obey wishes of
property owners who object to the
carriers walking on the grass and
not to walk OH the same spot each
day, in order to prevent making a
path.
To keep to the sidewalks entirely
Bryson added, would work a severe
hardship on the carriers.
The 275 city carriers walk eight
to twelve miles daily delivering mail,

ten miles being accepted as an aver
age.
Not using the lawns between
houses, each carrier would be forced
to walk an average of four miles eX-
ira daily, twenty-five miles addition
al each week and LOO miles addi-
tional each year, allowing for vaca-
ton.
The 275 carriers would walk
$3.50 instead of 1850 miles daily
21,175 instead of 1925 miles each
week and 1,O58,750 instead of 756,25O
miles annually.
AS each carrier gets approximate &.
~ ITO miles to the pair of shoe soles,
one set lasting him about three
weeks, the additional mileage would
result in more than 1,700 extra trips
to the shoemaker.

It's surface is a great seething, boil
ing. cauldron of gaseous matter at

MANY of the Sun-spots are 10000
