Washington, April 14.——More than a hundred years ago when the United States malls were being transported by carrlers on horse back, the editor of the Freeman's Journal, now the Norristown, Pa, Herald, suggested the use of “flying ships,” and today Postmaster General Work decided it was time publicly to acknowledge re- celpt of the “friendly advie In the issue of the I'reeman's Jours nal, of March 1, 1822, the editor wrote: “We would advise the postmaster general to avail himself of the novel and the very ingenious flying ma- chine, invented by James Bennett, of I’hiladelphia, by which we conceive, the mails would be transported with more celerity and their arrival at the places of destination he much more certain than s the case at present.” In approval of the development of the air mail service, Postmaster Gen- cral Work suid: “If that was true then, it is true today, and I wish T might he able to advise this old editor that we are to day using the ‘flying machine' with splendid results in transporting tfie mails with safety and celerity.” Postoffice records show that in 1833 “wonderful feat" was performed in ving the mail and news dispatches by relays of horses every five miles, between Washington and New York, in 15 hours.

The cavemen didn’t know much about underwear, hair tonic or phonographs, but they did have to eat. The one who could follow the tracks of the game he hunted, or read the meaning of a twisted leaf or broken twig, was best off in life. Then as now, the most consistent reader of advertising was best dressed, best fed and most contented. There has been something of an evolution in advertis- ing in the last few thousands of years, but the principle is just the same. The consistent reader of the advertisements is invari- ably best informed on what to eat and where to get it; what to wear and how much to pay for it; what to do and how to do it. He’s up on the most important things in life. Consequently he gets most from life. Throughout the ages, advertising has done much to make life livable and pleasant. \Ve owe it much.
