comment. At the conclusion Mr.. StrattOn intimated
that the appalling picture would have been blacker

through the accounts OF reekng immOralities and

Mr.. stratton thinks his picture exagger-
and excessive type The days news does not pre-

Of the world OF men and women and events il is

multitude but rather with the startling exceptions.
In its editorial comment, the Times calls Mr.. STRAIT

looked and which too many pessmistc readers OF
newspapers overlook. Says the Times; "A newspa-

than his predecessor Mr.. Burleson too

and to declare that the postal service was nearly
absolute IN perfection. The postmaster gen
eral appeals 10 the public to help in setting things
right "If anything is going wrong we want to
know It."
This change of Official attitude is welcome but
how account for the changed attitude
OF the patrons Of the post office? Only year ago
they were furious about a postal inefficency which
they now accept in meek silence Regular newspa-
per campaigns were conducted in 1913 and 1920 on
the subject the demoralized postal service Every

INDUSTRIAL WASTE

The recent widespread wage reductions were ex-

fate" prices The public and most of the wage
earners have conceded than to be necessary.
But a survey made by committee OF the Amer

needless burdens on production that pad the cost
70 the consuming public. The waste OF various
sorts amounts millions annually, the report says
and Is due chiefly to inefficient, management More
than so percent OF the responsibility for these
wastes" according TO the engineers can be placed
at the door OF the management and less than Is
percent at the door OF labor" Such wastes coAsti-
