ETHER WAVES PEP UP MAIL SORTERS "Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean" Help Get Mail Out on Time WASHINGTON, D. C— Sorting mail by Radio is the very latest thing in the postal service, exemplified at the Washington city post office from 9 to 11 o'clock one evening last week. A thousand clerks and carriers did their duties in the great workroom of the office while a Radio receiving set filled the air with music drawn from the air. First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett inaugurated the novelty by broadcasting a message to the workers from the Post Office Department sending station. This brief message was broadcast by Mr. Bartlett exactly at 9 o'clock. Following that there were no more speeches, nothing but lively music to help put speed into the workers and "pep up" their general enjoyment of life. Last year the Minneapolis post office introduced a phonograph on its night shifts, but the local office Is said to be the first in the country to entertain its workers by Radio. The receiving appartus is one owned by the office of the air mail service. Post Office Department. If the operator tuned in on a "bedtime story" or a lecture on housekeeping, he switched off to some other wave length as it was not believed that such entertainment and the proper sorting of mail would mix. But any distributor can sort letters better, it is held, to the lively strains of the tune that made Gallagher and Shean famous. So the aim was to "listen in" on concerts, selecting the best from the air waves. Postmaster Chance introduced the novelty by way of experiment. ^_^_^^^___^__^ A new Radio station has been opened at Vari, Greece. The calLis SXB.
