Free Delivery Initiated by Congress For Indiana Towns
Congress authorized the postmaster general to start mail delivery to towns with good sidewalks and set aside 100000 for experimental work next year. The plan targets about two hundred Indiana towns, expanding beyond the current sixty four cities with letter carriers. Rural routes will soon deliver to homes, replacing some post office handling. There are forty two thousand rural routes serving over twenty million people nationwide.

Auto Owners Prepare for Gas Light Hazards and Road Sets
The piece advises car owners to check for acetylene flame leaks causing a yellow tinge, carry candles for power outages, and keep a can and burner ready. It recommends deflating tires mildly for long sandy stretches, using chains, and re-inflating on solid roads to prolong safe travel.
Road courtesy and safety tips from a local advisory page
The note warns lazy drivers avoid ruts and stresses road courtesy for all on the highway. It urges giving pedestrians lifts as a goodwill gesture and cautions against excessive scrap piling from wasteful auto use. It also mentions the C and H I planning stations at Dorner and Walnut Grove using phones to dispatch trains, reducing need for a professional operator.
