A ENCOURAGEMENT outlining i'm
~ portant new organization plans
which contemplate the elimina-
ton Of red tape, delay and waste in
connection with departmental affairs
Is made by Postmaster General Hays
Mr.. Hays holds that two little
words, "red tape" with all they con-
vey, has done more to create lack of
confidence and respect for govern
mental operation than all the disloy-
atty propaganda ever issued.
The Post Office department proposes
to eliminate 1t by the adoption Of the
principle of decentralization and the
distribution of detail under the direc-
tion Of departmental heads
The large post Offices which are now
central accounting offices iare in a

sense miniature departments as now
organized. They have sections and
divisions already performing In some
measure work which Is contemplated
to divert to them. All that Is neces-
sary is to enlarge the scope Of these
several departments in the post Offices
In no sense would any postmasters
contact or responsibility to the depart
ment be interfered with. 1t would SIM
ply mean that the smaller offices and
the department could be relieved Of
much detail In accounting, etc, with
the result that both could function
with less expense, less delay to gov
ernmental business and with more
time to working out real problems Of
service. ~
The state will be the unit and
everything of postal nature that can
be done for the state will be done
within the state.
A complete survey of the entire de-
partment will determine where there Is
congestion, delay, duplication and lost
motion. Following this, where It can
be expedited and handled with greater
convenience to the public and less
expense to the government, work will
be diverted to central accounting post
offices In each state,

Pursuit and Punishment Of Slackers

rNERGETIC pursuit and punish
ment of the more than 100000
men who evaded the draft during
the World war is urgently recommend
ed by Major General Harris, adjutant
general of the army, in his report
made public by the secretary Of war.
To bring those guilty to trial, he rec
ommends that congress appropriate
$4,000 to pay rewards Of $50 for
each draft deserter delivered to the
military authorities.
1T is imperative" he declares, that
the government exhibit the greatest
possible energy In pursuing these men
and in Furnishing all who are found
guilty. II the government permit these
deserters to escape the punishment
provided for their offense, conse-
quences Of the grsvest import will GER
tainly ensue.

GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Bum Of $500, 600, 900 Lost Last Year BY
Farmers Unable to Get to Market
lY Over Highways.

Good roads are the greatest single
factors in securing and maintaining
community prosperity" Last year
the sum of $3O0;000,000 was lost by
farmers in being unable to market
their products over bad roads. Roads
that are impossible during part Of
the year cost farmers in every com
munity thousands of dollars week.
When one stops to think that in
every township laid out In sections
there are 72 miles of roads. It e easy
to imagine the mileage OF roads in
this country, says writer in an Ex-
change. OF these hundreds Of thous-
ands Of miles Of roads and streets,
comparatively few miles are paved,
and noted authority on road build
ing prophesies that not more than s
per cent of all the roads in this coun-
try will be paved by 1926.
1t would be excellent If we could
have all hard roads--brick. concrete
or macadam roads, which are good
all-year roads. We should have more
of them. But 1t Is impracticable to
pave eveiy country road. However,
It is just as important to have good
laterals leading to the main roads a.
II IL to have hard surfaced main roads.
SO we must do the best we can and
properly maintain our dirt roads and
streets.

7. A new instrument devised by the

bridge structure, this instrument

Of stretching or shortening of the. part
as a result of the shocks Is represent
ed by fine black line on tue photo

No blow or shock can be delivered
so quickly that the instrument will not
record its effect. 1t has never before
been possible to measure the effect Of
such blows. Engineers have long been
able to calculate the effect. of standing
loads very exactly; but because OF
their inability to measure the effect Of
quickly delivered blows or impacts,
they have never been able to proper

absolute assurance 1t has been nee
essary-to make liberal allowance for
this unknown quantity. In some cases
the allowance has not been sufficient
and the bridges have collapsed under
moving loads.
Many bridges still in service are
probably too weak to Withstand safely
the sharp blows Of swiftly moving
vehicles, though they will safely carry
the same vehicles at rest or moving
at slow speed. The familiar warning
posted at the portals of bridge:
"Speed limit on this bridge eight miles
per hour" means that the design Of
the bridge to which 1t is attached Is
not strong enough to allow for impact.
