TO DO

DO AWAY WITH POSTAGE STAMPS

London, May 30.

An automatic letter box which completely does away with the use of postage stamps has now been perfected and will shortly be put into operation in U.S. post offices.

The machine is called the "mailo- mat."

It operates by turning a dial to indicate the stamp value desired, inserting a coin and posting the letter or postcard in the ordinary way.

As the letter drops into the box it is automatically stamped to the required value.
