Human Antenna This youthful radio enthusiast is Randall Catheart of Oakland, Cal., who while fixing his aerial antenna the binding post of his set, he heard music that the human body will create waves. RURAL MAILS GROW Like a tale of enchantment in the story of the growth and expansion of rural mail delivery in the United States. Some 30,000,000 persons receive mail through the rural service. In making these deliveries, 1,205,572 miles of highway are traversed by rural carriers. There are yet some 14,000,000 persons in rural districts who desire and should have rural mail delivery and who will be served as soon as the postoffice department can make the necessary arrangements.

RURAL MAILS GROW Like a tale of enchantment in the story of the growth and expansion of rural mail delivery in the United States. Some 30,000,000 persons receive mail through the rural service. In making these deliveries, 1,205,572 miles of highway are traversed by rural carriers. There are yet some 14,000,000 persons in rural districts who desire and should have rural mail delivery and who will be served as soon as the postoffice department can make the extensions of the service. It is phenomenal that so many persons living outside of great centers of population should be served with mail regularly and promptly. There are some great empires in the world with no more than 30,000,000 population, and yet this number of inhabitants of the United States live in the country and are receiving regular mail service. The vast mileage of highways traversed daily by rural mail carriers stresses the importance of good roads in the general economy. There was a time when country roads in all sections of the United States were exorcable, particularly in winter. Some of them, in clay, sticky soil, were utterly impassable at times. But this condition has passed away. Improved highways in the United States today run into hundreds of thousands of miles.
