Readers of This Paper - s logi-ilu-r- ns a port of the new Chicago Union station project, a railway mall terminal building which Is unique uinong such structures. It Is not only the largest existing building of lta sort, being 6U0 feet long by 75 feet In width, with a height of 0 stories above basement, track level and but contains nirrhunh-u- l conveyors and transportation equipment without un equal in the Tlila equlimu-n- t world. la capable of handling 8,000 tons of mail eurh 24 hours. A further Idea of the mugnltude of the operations carried on In this terminal will be gained from the fact that more than 1,000 clerks und imrters are employed In the railway mull terminal dppnrtment alone. Robert II. Moulton, a Chicago writer, thus the workings of the new plant, which was visited by mull men from all over the world who are In search of efficiency and speed: The mall terminal building extends from Van Buren to Harrison street, between Canal street on the west and the Chicago river on the east, with a private drlvewuy along the full length on the east side. The building Is of the latest fireproof design of steel and concrete, and la furnished throughout steel sash to provide the maxiwith factory-typ- e mum light and ventilation. Ita floor capacity Is type 00,000 aquare feet. It Is of the and Is served by platform tracks on the lower level and a teamway on the street level, the private driveway referred to alfordlng 580 feet of clear tailboard space, or enough for 00 street vehicles at one time. The track level hna plntform lengths afadequate to serve 01 cars, while the basement tunnel of a means fords communication, by cars at Union station platforms remote from ths mall terminal. terPerhaps the most notable feature of this minal la the system of belt conveyors employed In the building. According to the resident engineer who has been In charge of the installation of ths mall handling equipment, this system Is the largest Installation of Its kind In the world. It consists of 71 belt conveyors, requiring the use of approximately eight miles of belting; 400 tilting trucks of a special design; 1,200 balanced type tracks of standard type; and a sufficient number of tractors to handle the trucks effectively throughout the building. In addition to these facilities there are 15 freight elevators, approximately 8 by 18 feet each. The terminal hns variety of functions. One of the most Important la the handling of mnll received from and delivered to trains at the Union NO CAUSE AT ALL completed, two-lev- t station. This consists primarily of the transfer of mall sacks from street vehicles to mall cars and vice versa. A great part of the operations of the terminal, however, consists In the receipt, classification and dispatch of all papers, catalogues and parrel poat mnll originating In aa well ns mnll of these three rlasses passing through the rlty. While the bulk of the material Is received In the termlnnl already weighed and with the postage canceled, a portion of It has not undergone these operation a and to take ears of the latter a post office hns been provided In the Clil-rag- n, building. Uncln willed mnll reaching the termlnul from the street Is received along the middle portion of the private driveway space; that from tralnA on the "basement or track level. From these two points of receipt It Is delivered to the upper floors of the hulldlng for the necessary work of clnsab Formerly parrel poat mall originating In Chicago was sacked and loaded Into trucks at business houses and tmnsiiorted lo the mall station. From 25 to 30 minutes were required to load a track and a similar length of time needed to unload It. Under the new system the same work Is done In from throe to five minutes nt each end of the line, thus effecting a saving of close to an hour on each motor truck load. The first step In the system begins at the large busInPM houses or mnll orrtijr concerns. The mall la loaded Into six or eight of the small tilting truck und the latter are conveyed by a large motor track to the mall termlnnl building. Arrived there the tilting tracks nre pulled out of the motor track, coupled together In trains and attached to an electric tractor, which hauls them to a trough or pit, 10 feet long and 43 Inches wide, In the floor. A bumper ut one side of the pit marks the route for the train of tilting trucks snd prevents It from slipping Into the pit. flit each As the train passes along, employee mirk and the contents slide to the feed belt there being three feet of spare each for 40 men. if jaa fat aver a aahititata wfcta aa advartiicd yndad Mayka yaw cuta la called will aevar far. cai Ink BmMaflbrSJK Swamp Root a Fine Medicine roin-pun- T7mf$ zzznZKAzz) xurzgrcu 'r lo-- r Dast ckackla Important to All Women Ownership er Judy, do yon realize that you have left the gas burning In the kitchen every night tills week?

Canvas flares at the aides of the belts prevent packages from going onto the floor, at the same time s deflecting packages lo and breaking their full. A separation unit on the fourth flisir takes care of the hells assigned to the stutea of Missouri, New York, Kentucky, etc. The primary separation system on this floor lias the sume number of belts as the system on the third floor, the only difference being thut the fourth floor system Is 00 feet long whereas Hie third floor system Is 130 feet In length. The final separation and classification nf all mall handled by the termlnnl forces is made at tables on the second, third, fourth und fifth floora, where the mall la placed In sacks and properly marked ready for delivery to the Union station forces on the track floor or the basement, or to the street vehicles on the street floor for delivery to various parts of the dty or to other railway statlonA Such mall, In sacks, Is handled by means of tractor trains which take the sacks direct to mall can. The movement of the sacked mall from the floors mentioned to the track or street floors la accomplished by carrying the sacks, on balanced type tracks, to holes In the floor leading to longitudinal celling conveyora, five to a floor, which extend practically the entire length of the building. The mall la dropped onto the celling conveyors through openlngA or chutes, In the floors. There are 00 of these chutes, 24 to 80 Inches In floor and they are uniformly spaced. size, to Since It la not desirable to have the mall sacks drop the full vertical distance of 7 feet from the floor level to the celling conveyors, the chutes are ench given quarter turn, Hn arrangement which permits the sackz to slide within three feet of the belts. Each of the 20 celling conveyor belts Is also connected with one of 5 donhle spiral chutes placed In different pnrts of the hulldlng. The belting forming the conveyors is mude of four thicknesses of cnnvaA weighing two pounds to the square yard. In splicing Hie hells flexible metal Inring is used. The end of the belts are pulled together by means of clumps and the teeth airshed together with s strip of inetal Inaerted to keep them from pulling apart. The belts travel seamless steel tubes on rollers of which range from 84 to fi Inches In diameter. d to pressed steel heads Tills tubing Is lliut support turned steel shnfts 4 Inch In diameter.
