SADIE of some years, due to that or some other cause
or the awakening of women and the artists who

jump that alarmed us. We did not intend to
establish a general rivalry in abbrevintion-but 1t
happened-and we lost all run of who was who
flapper or great grandmother.
No one ever expected n Renaissance of the old
long trailing skirt. That matter we though settled
forever. But you never can tell about styles. They
are battling at any stage and have a habit of re-
burning after many days.
And true to style history back have come the old
long skirts, and worst of all the ladies are wear
ing them. They are not yet as long as they former
ly were but still they are annoying to the near
sighted; and since all styles sooner or later become
extreme it will be no great while before we are
lodging the aforementioned and roundly cursed

Saving By Business Methods

MO DEPARTMENT of the government is as close
- to the people as the postoffice department. 1t
il the largest business department within the gov
eminent. For that reason its expenses have always
been exceedingly high. The memory of man run.
meth not back to the time when there was not a
deficit In the postoffice department, Up until the
present administration took charge there was little
or no effort to keep this deficit within bounds. In
this regard the postofnce was no different from
other departments, where the mourning of deficits
was considered TO be quite u routine thing.
Under this administration the postofffce depart.
ment, in common with all other government agen.
ciss of the government has made strenuous eff.
forts to reduce Its operating expenses. 1t is graf
flying to know these. efforts have been crowned
with success. The reports ct the postoffice depart
ment show the deficit for the year ending June 30,
1929, was 81, 1000 less than the postoffice def.
lett for the year ending Juno 30, 1871.
The public may be Interested in knowing how
some OF these savings were accomplished. They
were made through the introduction of business
methods in government and In no other way. The
p~ostoffice department, under the present admins.
~tration, reorganized 100 Of the largest postofficcs
in the country, which conduct Go per cent of the
total postal business. In one of these offices alone
the reorganization effected an annual saving of
100000 without impairing in the least its service.
Another saving has been accomplished by the de-
Capitalization Of administrative work. Everything
that can be done within a state for postal bust
ness of that state is done there. Formerly, a post
master, whether % miles or $50 miles from Wash
ingt0n, sent all his inquiries, complaints, ETC., to
the Washington headquarters. This required the
maintenance OF a tremndous overhead ut Wash
ington. By having this work at state centers with
out any increase in expense there, the postoffice de-
partment has been able to release F4O employees at
Washington. This reduction in payroll, accompan-
900 in the last year.
Another business method which was introduced
was in the purchase Of supplies. Supplies were
standardized, and other innovations fnaururated
which reduced the operating expenses in the sup.
ply department over $1,000, 900. In this connection
the government cencelled a longtime contract for
