In dealing with departmental extravaganza at

ter, the president says:
The reports also show not only very
wide range in the methods of doing this
comparatively simple part of the govern

in cost. For the handling of incoming mail
the averages of cost by departments vary
from 1854 to $S440 per thousand For the
handling of outgoing mail the averages by
departments vary from 1894 to 5000 per
thousand. This does not include the cost
of preparation, but is confined merely to
the physical side of the work The varia-
tons between individual Offices is many
times greater than that shown for averages
by departments.
1t is at evident either that it is
costing some of the offices too little or that
others are beng run at an unwarranted
expense. Nor are these variations explain
ed by differences in character of work For
example there are two departments which
handle practically the same kind of bust
ness and in very large volume. The aver
age cost of handling incoming mail to one
was found to be six times as great as
the cost of handling incoming mail to the
other. Excluding the cost of preparation

Dickens had reached this country
in a respondent frame of mind from
australia, where he had resided for
years. His first comments in Bos-

of women's ankles, caused him an.
noyance and for time he declined

talk about himself and one OF the
most pathetic interviews related to
the tragic death OF his wife, who was
killed in a runaway. He said her
premonition of the approaching end
