new POST OFFICE
MOST COMPLETE
IN THE WORLD
Washington's Pride an Achieve
ment of the Governmental
Newspaperman as Postmaster
and No Assistant.

Washington at last has realized its
ambition to present to the country
model. This model is a post office
building-probably the finest in the
world in point Of equipment and effic-
iency. For once the Government has
set out to do thing thoroughly well,
and it has succeeded with the beauti-
full structure adjoining the Union Sta
ton. where the city post Office is in
full operation. Some of the Govern
ment buildings in Washington are so
unimpressive. not to say ugly that the
tourist must wonder whether the Gov
ernment built them or is merely hir-
ing them temporarily. The new post
office building, of pure white marble
and with a front proud with stately
columns, is the last word in Govern
ment architecture in Washington.
The public will see only the facade and
the great corridor on the south side
pierced with windows where the peo-
pie transact their daily business. This
corridor is of marble with twelve i'm
mense granite columns just within the
main entrance. Even the standards
which bear the bronze lamps at the
foot of these columns are Of carved
marble and cost $500 each, or one
third as much as the columns them
selves. And the bulletin board is of
solid bronze, the public writing bench
of figured marble, while the postmast-
er sits in room finished in Circas-
sian walnut. This room is perhaps
twenty feet high. panelled to the top
and with exquisite carving in the cor
nice and over the fireplace. The out

elegance of a fine private residence.

Butter and Eggs Cheap.

Postmaster Praeger has enthusiastic
cally doomed the parcel post. He has
discovered that the man who is get
ting the greatest benefit out of it is the
small farmer who lives in the back
country on the free delivery routes
and the man in the city who is wise
enough to get in touch with that farm
er and buy of him. Mr.. Praeger has
discovered within the last week that
when eggs are selling at 80 cents a
dozen in Washington there are plenty
of farmers out among the hills of Vir-
ginia and Maryland who are glad to
get fifteen and twenty cents dozen
for them. Butter that costs thirty
five and forty cents a pound in Wash
ington can be bought of these same
farmers for twenty to twenty five
cents pound. And don't think that
these are not good eggs and good but
ter" says Postmaster Praeger THE
fact is that before the parcel post
these farmers were trading their but
ter and eggs at the country store but
they never got any cash. Now the
parcel post has opened up a cash
business to them and they are taking
advantage of it. but they are willing
to sell direct to the man in the city at
the same prices they would get from
the wholesaler Their prices will in
crease somewhat in time, | suppose,
but the parcel post will give them
more money than they ever saw be-
fore and enable the people of the
cities to buy for less than they ever
paid. What is true of Washington
no doubt is true of every other great
city and the country surrounding it,

Newspaper Man Is Postmaster.
President Wilson went to the Press
Gallery for his new Postmaster of
Washington and appointed Otto
Praeger, correspondent of the Dallas
News and the Galveston News. Mr..
Praeger has proved to be business
man of high ability and he is making
the Washington Post Office a business
institution. Washington, for example.
is the only first-class Post Office in
the country that has no assistant post
master. When Postmaster Praeger
took possession of the new building he
found a magnificent large room as
signed for the use of the postmaster
and smaller but equally luxurious
room for the assistant postmaster. He
took the smaller room for himself.
abolished the office of assistant post
master and placed the chiefs of divi-
sion in the large room, bringing them
down from the mezzanine floor. to the
greater convenience of everybody.
Where you have an assistant post
master" says Mr.. Praeger, either he
or the postmaster is doing all the
work. Where you have working
postmaster you don't need any assis-
tant postmaster
Selling Goods to the Public.
Mr.. Praeger is a working postmas-
ter. He conducts the business of the
office as If he were the head of large
establishment selling goods to the pub
lie. For instance, if a large GUS
toner telephones in that he wants a
lot of printed or stamped paper. Post
master Praeger sends a salesman"
down to him, who shows samples,
takes the order and sees that the goods
are delivered. If one has a large
package to send by parcel post, one
needs only to notify the postmaster
and a vehicle will call for it. There
are more than eighty sub-stations OF
the Washington Post Office, and bust
ness is being centralized around the
larger ones. Formerly all box collec-
tions were taken to the main Post
Office for sacking. They are nov
carried TO the nearest sub station and
dispatches are made from there to the
main Post Office. For example for a
mail closing at p. Nj. at the main Of
flee a letter may be dropped in the
sub-station near the Treasury De-
partment at $40 and catch the seven
o'clock train out of Washington. This
