Foolish Talk

Twas in the state of Wis, a
senator got his. He sprung a
line of talk that gave the state
a shock, disloyal, foolish stuff, OF
which we've had enough. His
fellow statesmen rose, and seized
him by the nose, and fired him
from his place, all loaded with
disgrace. His little course is run,
his craftsmanship is done; in
outer darkness now he clasps his
slammy brow, and doubtless
wishes that he hadn't used his
hat through which to speak a
piece; his woe will never cease.
And other folks whose jaws wag
heedlessly should pause. The man
whose active tongue, on roller
bearings hung, Hpon the zephyrs
filings nnpatriotic things, may find
himself, some morn, disdained, a
thing of scorn. Perhaps he means
no wrong by his opinions strong:
but men are under strain, and
foolish talk and vain may stir
their souls to ire, to doings fierce
and dire. And then the gabsmith
sees that talk is a disease. While
riding on a rail he lifts his bitter
wall, and wishes he had canned
the words at his command.

Secretary Gives Positive 1ndorse-
ment to The Stars Bundle
Carrying Movement.

Declaring that The Star is doing
fine public service in calling the at
tention of the public to these matters
in which they can help along in war
times Secretary Redfeld today gave his
positive Endorsement to The Stars
campaign to get buyers to carry small
bundles home.
In a statement regarding the posi-
bilities of concerted effort to relieve
consumers of the heavy expense OF de-
livery, Secretary Redfield said:
There are many ways in Whicn CIT.
izens can cooperate to reduce the cost
of articles they buy. OF perhaps II
would be better to say there are many
ways in which by failing to cooperate
they help to keep the cost OF those
articles high. For example, many a
store has to deliver small packages at
a cost greater than the profit made on
the goods and sometimes equal to the
entire value of the goods. Stores are
called upon for special deliveries at odo
hours. Goods are ordered sent out for
approval and are commonly returned.
obliging the storekeeper to make Two
trips without any sale. Goods put up
in attractive containers are required 20
be wrapped. In these and similar ways
buyers cause expense for which they
and all the public have to pay.

Accrues to Consumers Benefit.
Thus the Secretary OF Commerce., an
economic expert, points to the rect
that any united effort to relieve the
heavy burden on delivery systems will
accrue to the benefit Of consumers.
Competition among the stores OF
Washington is keen and close. To
lessen the expense OF delivery by the
operation of simple economic laws
means that prices will be kept down
and not that merchants will pocket
larger profits. Merchants seek to sell
goods at the least margin OF profit
But added to the wholesale cost Of
goods, before this profit Is calculated,
must be other charges, such as rent,
heat, lighting. clerical hire and deliv-

costs is that Of delivery. The Star
