On october II. 1923. the councils en-

Odd Revenue.

THERE is one source of revenue to
the government of which but few
persons are aware-that proceeding
are wasted
There are two ways in which the
government profits by the careless
ness and ignorance Of the public. In
the first place many stamps are de-
stroyed. This means a profit to the
Post Office Department of many thou
sands Of dollars q year: how much
cannot be estimated. for there is no
means of getting figures except by
elaborate and untrustworthy calcula-
tions. A person carries stamps in his
pocket until they are SO worn that he
does not dare use them. In point of
fact. anything that looks like a good
stamp. no matter il 1t Is somewhat
mutilated. is passed by the clerks.
Just as a dilapidated banknote is good
IL there is enough of 1t to show what
1t is. Wear and dirt cannot. without
almost destroying the stamp. give it
the look OF one that has been can
celed. Yet few persons will put
damaged stamp on . letter. Besides.
many stamps are lost or destroyed
clear gain.
The other source of loss to the in
dividual by which the government
profits is the number Of stamps vast
ed in excess postage. People who
have not a !fve-cent stamp put three
two-cent stamps on foreign letters.
thus making the Post once Depart
ment q present Of one cent. Domestic
mail. too. is frequently overstamped.
Enough money Is wasted in this way
to provide thousands Of inexpensive
letter scales.
Moreover, few persons know any
thing about the rates for newspapers
and think that because q newspaper
rolls into such q solid bundle II costs
great deal to send. So they go on
overpaying the postage.
On the other hand, much matter is
underpaid. Here the government
loses nothing, for the shortage is col
lected from the receiver, who must
pay the due stamp. Knowing this.
and being anxious not to seem mig

think 1t would be better to give
the lines exactly as they have been
written. Now again."
So the leading lady who was the
real thing made another try. 1t was
surprising, though. what change
came over her when she began to
recite her part. As Gloria Whitney
kind Of pert vivacity. She could use
her eyes and her shoulders and her
fingers to give emphasis and point to
whatever she had to say. She was

feather on her Paris tooue.
But as the F1apper she was quite
different She got stif and wooden.
She was as vivacious as the plume on
hearse. Her elbows stuck out and
her feet toed in. and she couldn't
make her voice behave. She watched
the other players for her cues as
eager as puppy waiting for bone
to be tossed to him. and she put
lines as an Erie train announcer call

that an early rehearsal is rather q
