Mr.. Allen H. Richardson, Publishers
Advisory Board, 200 Fifth Ave, New
York. Dear Sir:-In answer to your
letter, l beg to say:
/ prefer not to accept a retainer to
appear before legislative committees
upon matters of general policy as in
such matters, if l have anything to
say, l desire to speak only as citt
zen.
/ have no hesitation in saying that
regard the zone system of postal
rates for newspapers and periodicals,
coming under the definition of. second.
class mail matter, as ill-advised. The
commission on second-class mail mat
ter fappointed in 1919 of which / was
member, considered this question
and reported unanimously against the
zone system. We said in that report:
The policy Of zone rates was
pursued in the earlier history of
our postoffice and has been Civ
en- up in favor Of a uniform
rate in view of the larger inter
est of the nation as whole.
It would seem to the commission
to be entirely impracticable to
attempt to establish system of
zone rates for second-class mat
ter.
Progress In the postoffice,
with respect, both to economy
in administration and to public
convenience, heads away from a
variety Of differential charges
to uniform rates and broad clas-
sificationS,

GUARD THE REFRIGERATOR.
if Not Kept Clean 1t Is Menace to
 the Health of the Family.


 One of the most important articles of household equipment Is the unassum- ing and. it is to be feared, often neg lected icebox.
 There is no greater menace to the health of the family than refrigera- tor which does not refrigerate or one which 1t is impossible to keep in per feet sanitary condition.
 The least important thing about a re- frigerator is its outside appearance.
 While the expensive porcelain and enamel ones are pleasant to own, less expensive hardwood one with a smooth. plain surface is just as satis- factory and easy to clean.
 Goodness, cleanliness and convenience are the three "c's" that are absolutely essential Go the construction of re- frigerator.
 Always wash the ice before putting it into it's compartment, otherwise the straws and dust may clog up the drain pipe.
 The floors and shelves of the refrig- orator should be washed every day with a solution of soda, and at least once a week the refrigerator should be thoroughly cleaned.
 Use a solution of soda and water to clean out the drain pipe and pan. Then scald them out thoroughly with boil ing water-New York Telegram.

Take Tip From Old Mother
Nature When in Doubt About
Time to Plant Your Garden

From the United States Department of
Agricultural
By watching the processes of moth
er nature and taking Il tip from her,
the home gardener who is not certain
when he should plant his seeds may get
some valuable information. Garden
specialists divide vegetables INTO two
classes - ''Warm temperature" an!
"cOld temperature" vegetables. When
peach and plum trees are in blossoms,
they say, 1t is time 10 sow in the open
ground such seeds as lettuce, radiSi!,
parsley, beetS, turnipa, cabbage, car
rOtS. peas, and onions. The Wrinklct
peas should not be planted until later,
as they are more likely to rot IL cool
ground than are the smooth varieties.
When the apple blossoms fall it is
time to plant the heat-ioving vegC-
tables such as cucumbers, beans,
sweet corn, pumpkin, and squash.
This is said TO be an old but excellent
rule.

Sudden Retreat of an Army -
Is Often Reduced to Chaos
And the Resultant Disorder

showing great army is an affair
Of timetables. There is room for onig
certain amount of men and mate
rial on the roads and railways at one
time, and every man and every
wagon above that maximum becomes
Il factor OF confusion and retardS til,
movement of the whole mass TO =
dangerous degree" writes G. WARD
Price in the Century. ''The sudden
retreat of an army is often reduced
to chaos, first, because a thoroughly
worked out plan of general retirement
exists but rarely in the StrongbOXes
of any general staff, and, secondly
because in the absence of timetable
drawn up in detail and strictly ell
forced, the elementary principle of
self-preservatiOn leads every unit OF
the army to put itself on the road
Just as quickly as it can get trans
pOrtatiOn. This is not TO say that
confusion is an invariable Indication
of personal panic; but it is very nat
ural, and even very proper, that every
DtItefy COIUludlueT, TIE director III
every military store and depot, and
the leader of every body Of troops
which is not definitely ordered to re-
main. should have the individual de-
termination that his particular COM
mand shall not fall into the hands Of
the enemy.
"The artillery officer firmly resolves
that he Will save his guns at all
costs; the heads of the supply depart
ments are in charge of valuable stores
which their army needs for its very
existence and which would be of great
aid to the enemy If captured, and the
troop leader naturally argues that it
would be futile to allow his men to
be cnt off when a general retreat has
been ordered. So if the organization
of withdrawal is left to the discr1-
ton of the people involved in it, as
1t has to be when the whole thing has
not been deliberately arranged before
hand, confusion is almost inevitable"
