THE NAVY

To Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
must be given the credit of avoiding
the enforced dismissal of many more
workwen in the navy yards than were
recently discharged from a force re-
duced by order. to approximately
one-third. due to the recent reduc-
tions in naval appropriations. Real
izing the present unemployment sit
uation throughout the country, Mr..
Roosevelt issued instructions to all
naval stations throughout the service
to reduce the working days to five a
week rather than discharge a further
nunber of workmen. thus saving a
days pay to the government while
requiring but a half-day's loss of
work. 1t is hoped by Mr.. Roosevelt
to keep a reasonable number of
workmen temporarily employed until
they can be merged into civil indus
tries, instead of making immediate
dismissals. The action of the assist
ant secretary in reducing the work.
ine week is understood to have met
the approval of representatives Of the

POSTAL OFFICIAL HAS A PLAN
TO CUT H. C.. L. IN WASHINGTON

the results obtained have been unsat-
isfactory. from a general viewpoint,
although many individuals do take
advantage of the low prices quoted.
1t goes without saying that to ex-
tend the buying facilities of a great
city by the establishment of some
such cooperative market would ne
cessi:ate an increase in rural parcel
post routes.
The purpose of the Post Office De-
partment lis not to decrease service
in >any particular. although $15.000.-
900 will be saved by closer SUPER
vision of all activities during the next
fiscal year.
Mr. Billany announced that the de-
partment shortly will put into effect.
the country with populations rang
ing from 100000 to 250.000 persons. an
extended parcel post delivery system.
This will mean that these cities,
now having but one delivery OF parcel
post in residence sections every 9TH
ness section, in the future will enjoy
two deliveries of parcel post matter
daily to the business sections and a
daily delivery to the residence Sec
tions.
At the present time the rural par
eel post is being extended at places
where such service is deemed ex-
pedient.
A new phase established this sum-
mer. and which the department may
extend next summer. Is that of
route serving summer vacationists.
In June the department established
rural parcel post route between
Lake Minnetonka and Minneapolis.
Articles desired by the people around
the lake are brought out by the par
eel post truck, and intervening farm
ers send their berries and other pro-
ducs to the city. !"

true cooperative market in the
district of Columbia, wherein the
PEOPLE may purchase produce sent
here by farmers Of Maryland ana Nir-
cinia by parcel post. is the dream OF
Harry H. BillAny. fourth assistant
postmaster general.
Reports to the Post Office Depart
ment of the success of parcel post
handling of the Georgia peach crop.
enabling growers to ship ripe fruit
quickly, leads Mr.. Billany to believe
that an extension of the plan might
he worked out in the National Capt.
tai.
Washington would offer an ideal
place for a try-out of such market.
the fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral believes His plan is for general
market in charge of an ofhcial or
group Of officials who would have the
entire trust of the farmers. :.
BY parcel post the producers In
nearby MARYLAND and ,,. Virginia nna m,sn. ntSnr
foodstuffs to this city and consumers
come to buy with the assurance that
they were being treated properly IN
every way.
CITY buyers, and the city consumers
are wary Of the farmers who offer to
send their produce by parcel post,
declared Mr.. Billany.
IF we could establish a market.
under proper supervision. the middle
man would be eliminated and both
farmer and consumer would be able
to deal with each other on Iplane
free from suspicion. owing to the
equal trust which each would have in
the market supervisor or supervis-
ors."
Almost unheard prices for butter
and other foodstuffs reach the depart
ment. seeming absurdly small in rela-
tion to city prices. but the difficulty
in making sale lies in the fact that no
one can assure the consumer OF the
exact quality of what he may get II
he orders by parcel post sight un-
Seen."
One of the prime functions of such
n market as outlined. according to Mr..
Billany. would be the establishment
Of grades, and their enforcement, SO
that the city consumer who wished to
get his butter and eggs. for instance,
direct from the country would know
exactly what he was paying his
money for.
The Washington city post Office has.
at various times. tried to boost the
sale Of the farmers butter and eggs

According to genera orde1

Indicated. Navy yards and stations

Among the many duties of naval
