packed to Withstand even such severe
shock.
Whether milkmen with weak hearts
will be permitted to view the affair is
uncertain, although the claim that the
industry can save $500, 900 a year by
right packing seems likely to pull every
one through with no greater damage
than an involuntary Sudden or so.

BRIGHTER POST. OFFICES !.
STARTED IN ENGLAND
Improvements to Attract Interest
Rather Than Repel, Says
Head of Service.

LONDON (N.A.N.A.)-Then new post
master general, H. B. Lees-Smith. has
started a campaign for brighter post
Offices. Instead Of the somewhat dingy
and depressing offices that are the rule
in this country we are to have neat,
brightly painted buildings that will at
tract rather than repel. The postinas-
ter general has even guaranteed that
before long we shall have pencils that
are sharp, Ink that is liquid and nibs
that will flow like poem"
Mr.. Lees-Smith had an amusing ex-
perience during a recent tour of the
post offices. He went into a village
post ONCE in Wales to find the post
mistress distracted because she had a
telegram for delivery and no one to
deliver 1t. There are no telegraph mes
sengerS in such a place, but the post
mistress is allowed to get whom she
can and pay them pence for their
trouble.
