TAGGERS CAN TELL A

By the United Press.


bONDON, Aug. 5~-Flag-day promo
tiers for the thousand-and-one war
charities Of England have ascertalned
that their best fag-sellers are profile
tent students Of physiognomy. As one
day In three is a tag day for some
charity or another the girls who sta
tlon themselves at the busiest street
corners to nab all cOmers make it a
rule not to tackle persons who look
as though they won't come through.
According TO one Of the most sue
cessfll taggers the man with a frowI
isn't necessarily a tightwad or hard TO
approach. On the other hand the man
with a stock smile may have faint
something in his expression to betray
him as a nickel-pincher and therefore
not worth button-holing for a small
contribution.
The promoters deny that the tag sell
ers are becoming timid. On the con-
trarv they have reached the tag selling
business to a science, and no longer
waste time and effort on people who,

United States has been a triumph OF

The telegraph companies, in a diff
ferent field, have also provided a good
service. II their success In winning
public approval has not been as con-
spicuous as that Of the telephone cor

introduced into the Offices of the tele-
phone and telegraph companies. The
postoflloe gets It's appropriation from
Congress and spends it. It shovels its
revenues into the treasury, and takes
a receipt for the money. This prac-
tice will do where careless country
pays no attention to the cost OF public
utilities, where capital investment can
be ignored, where real estate is free
OF taxes, but II will not do where the
rights OF investors are involved, where
franchises must be taken into account,
or where the payment Of bills is a nee
essary prerequisite to the continuation

It may be that the necessity OF keep

eyes Of the pOstoflce department TO the
