Show Device for v mcuius Letter Carriers The postoffice department in Washington Wash-ington is experimenting among tie Washington letter carriers with a device de-vice for keeping tab on carriers as they make their rounds from box to hoi, and If the experiment is decided to be a success the new system will probably be adopted for the entire country. The device is founded on the same principle princi-ple as the alarm which night watchmen pull once an hour, or half-hour, attending at-tending to business. It is attached to the inside of letter boxes, and on return re-turn from his route the carrier deposits de-posits slips of paper which contain an accurate register of the places he ha; visited. If adopted by the department the device will be intended as much for the protection of honest, faithful carriers car-riers as for the detection of those who are inclined to be shiftless and careless. |
