Hitchcock Wants Red

Postmaster General Hitchcock has is
sued orders to employees of the Post
Office Department to paint everything
red. Wine colors and pale, sickly red
will not do. RED is the word. Every
delivery wagon. city, parcel and rural
free delivery vehicle must be red.
All mail boxes throughout the United
States must be red.
To try out the new color Mr.. Hitch
cock ordered some of the Washington
city wagons painted. The wagons,
wine colored, were taken to the Post
Office Building for inspection.
Take them back and make them
red, RED. without any sort of blend.
said the Postmaster General.
And red they are.
The only protest came from the ru-
raj carriers. who say that in their red
wagons they will be chased by all the
bulls and turkey gobblers. to saw nothing
of the dogs. along their routes.
