POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK IS OBSERVED
May 1 Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.
Without the Postal Service, business
would languish In a day, and be at a
standstill In a week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
It Is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and It comes nearer to the
Innermost Interests of a greater num
ber of men and women than any other
Institution on earth. No private busi
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches Into so many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on Its min
istrations.
“Postal Improvement Week" has
been set for May 1, hy the Postmaster
General. This Is the first general cam
paign of Its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users of
the mall, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organ I/.a
tion of 826,000 postal workers are to he
enlisted In this country-wide campaign
of Interest In postal Improvements.
Your help 1s vital. Address your let
ters plainly with pen or typewriter,
Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don’t abbreviate. Put your
return addreos In the upper loft hand
corner of envelope (not on the back)
and alwaya look at your letter before
dropping In the mall to aee if It la
properly addreaaed. Thie care In the
use of the malla la for your benefit and
apeeds up the dispatch and dativery
of mail matter.
If you have any complaints of poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He has Instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.
COURTESY
It sticks in human relations like
postage stamps on letters. The
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ex
pects it to be used by its postmasters
and employees in dealing with the
public.
Help them in its use beginning

Ago, But Development Has
Been Swift Lately.
Wireless research started many
years ago, as far back even ns 1827.
Even the radio telephone Is not a re
cent perfection; rather It Is that Intro
duction to the layman of the human
voice and music has suddenly popular
ized something that wireless men had
thought a pastime or amusement. Here
Is the chronological record of wire
less :
1827—It was found that the mag
netic discharge from a leyden Jar
would magnetize a steel needle.
1831 — Electro-magnetic induction
was discovered between two entirely
separate circuits by Michael Faraday.
1887—Cooke and Wheatstone of
London, England, and Morse .of the
United States take out first patent for
electric telegraph.
1838—K. A. Stelnhell of Munich
suggested that a system of wireless
telegraphy could be established after
his dtscovery of the use of the earth
return.
1840—Joseph Henry (U. S. A.) pro
duced the first high-frequency elec
tric oscillations, and stated that the
condenser discharge Is oscillatory.
1842 — Wireless experiments were
made by S. F. B. Morse by electric
conduction through water across
Washington canal and across wide
rivers.
1843—A wireless system for trans
atlantic communication was suggested.
1845—Water was used as a conduct
ing medium In wireless experiments
across a wide river.
1840—Intelligible signals were act
ually sent across a river 4,500 feet
wide in India, but the cost was found
prohibitive for commercial use.
1867—The electric waves that are
now utilized In wireless telegraphy
and telephony were predicted In an
im the Isle of Wight and experiments
conducted over a distance of 14 miles.
Near the end of the year the first
floating wireless station was success
full} operated.

speech could be conveyed by Induction
over a space of quarter mile. This
experiment took place In England.

curlpalti of Benatare. "Marconi,

one-quarter miles. Sir William Freece
of the British postofflce system in
terested his cohorts in Marconi’s wire
less experiments.
1897—Marconi establishes communi

hours. Great Britain declared war
upon Germany August 4 and all pri
vate radio telegraphy and telephony
suspended.
1916—Radio communication between
America and Japan is completed. The
stations were located at San Francisco

in the equipment of airplanes.
Several new long range stations
were erected in the United States, it
being claimed for one built at tyinapo
lis, Md., that it. was capable of com
munication at 4,000 miles. The United
States government also opened a high- j

played an Important part In keeping
the ships of the air on their courses—
no very great progress was made in
radio telegraphy, although radio tele
phony was being pushed along quietly.
Ilestrictlons upon amateur receiving :
tnd sending were lifted by the Ameri
’an government.
19110 This was the year of the radio
elephone, more attention probably be

MUSIC RECITAL
Mrs. Mann is to ho highly
congratulated for her verv suc
cessful work among her music
mpils.
The success of her work was
thoroughly demonstrated in the
recital at the Baptist Church
Monday night.
The immense crowd speaks
for the interest of the town and
community. More than ever »»«r
people are realizing the import
ance of music in our schools
Each number in the recital
■ieemed the best. It could he
oe seen plainly that each pupil
kvas brim full of enthusiasm and
possessed a marked degree of
self confidence which as every
me knows is essential to a suc
cessful appearance on the stage
Personally, I think we should
lave more of these entertain
ments, not only musical, hut a-'
ong all literary lines.
Aside from the piano music i
it the recital, those who sang
md gave us readings deserve
much credit together with the
eachers who are working so
aithfully with their pupils.
