CHICAGO'S MAIL TERMINAL
BUILDING
•mniiitiHnMoi
About 970 persons are employed In
the work of handling mall matter,
while about 80 additional employees
and 25 clerks and officials are required
to look after and operate the building
and its machinery.
Four stairways, three passenger and
fourteen freight elevators facilitate
movement between floors. The mail
handling equipment includes about
1,800 trucks of various kinds and
sizes, several hundred sorting tables,
sack racks without end, and a small
fleet of electric tractors. Most of the
work of distribution is done by means
of some eight miles of mechanical belt
conveyors which function with
amazing rapidity and an uncanny sure
ness. These conveyors, some of which
are 44 inches wide and 650 feet long,
carry mail between divisions, between
floors.

and dump It ou distributing
tables from which they also carry it
to chutes which drop It to dispatching
platforms.
Tills terminal ultimately will handle
an average of 26,000 sacks of parcel
post and 18.000 sacks of paper mail
every 24 hours—or 1.833 sacks per
hour. According to an official of the
railway mail service, through this
building will pass more mail than
originales in the entire Dominion of
Canada.

Americanization Is Retarded by the
Foreign-Language Newspapers
By DR. PAUL SHOREY, University of Chicago
Foreign-language papers and foreign-language preaching only retard
Americanization and promote clannishness. Except for a few gifted i

derstanding and the loyalty are truly at home in one language only.
American schools have hitherto taught too much about American'
divisions and henceforth ought to emphasize the things that unite
This does not mean that they should falsify history, still less that they
should foster a temper of provincial pride and contempt for the foreigner.
Americans who hope that the new America will remain "E pluribus
unum" and carry over all that was best in the old, should see to it that
our schools make fuller and more critical use of the noble American tradi

ARREST MONTANA BOY
LURED TO GOTHAM BY
TICKET SALE PROFITS
New York, N. Y., Nov. 26.—Lured
by reports of fabulous prices obtained
for football tickets. Coel Mills, 20,
came all the way from Montana to
New York, with four complimentary
naste-boards, to the Army-Navy foot
ball game, which he expected to sell
for $100 apiece.
Rain dampened the enthusiasm of
bidders and Mills finally offered the
tickets for $15 each—to a detective.
In night court he paid a fine of $5
and announced he was taking the first
fast freight back toward Montana,
