IMPROVING THE PARCEL POST

Sincere good wishes will at
tend the attempt which is being
made by the second assistant
postmaster general to improve
the parcel post service. There is
scarcely any governmental func-
ton which is of more general
utility than the parcel post. The
amazing growth of its operations
in few years is proof that it
has, to use a hackneyed but APP
propriate phrase, supplied a long
felt want. In point of fact 1t is
its phenomenal expansion that
has developed most of those de-
fects in its working which it is
now sought to remedy.
The handling of parcels sent
through the mails has hitherto
made extravagant demands on
the clerical force, on motor We
hicle service in large cities and
on expensive space in postoffices.
1t has also caused enormous
losses to the government through
damage 20 articles in transit and
has been Q source of delay to inn
portant passenger trains and. to
iirst-class mail matter.
The British have discovered
that it is essential to have spe-
cial buildings near railroad sta
tons for the receipt, handling
and dispatch of packages. This
latter innovation is part of the
program now in contemplation
for use in this country. PTS also
likely that proposal will be
made to put on special trains for
the handling of parcel post PACK
ages. All of these plans are in
the interest of better service at
less cost, and it is hoped that
they will be carried out.
Marylanders are particularly
interested in the parcel post sys-
tenn because it was mainly
through the untiring efforts of a
native of Western Maryland
Hon. David Lewis-that this
splendid innovation to the postal
carrier service was brought
about. Since the pioneering days
of Mr.. Lewis, the parcel post sys-
TEN in this country has under
gone quite a few changes, but in
the main the foundation Supplied

their own with any in appear
ance as well as otherwise.
This, Of course, brings the only
answer that could be made in the
circumstances. If the country
wants to see Appearances kept up
for it abroad. yet does not pro-
vide amply for this itself, it will
have to depend much Upon men
OF means TO fiji the posts. Rep
.rescntative Martin b. Madden OF
Illinois led the recent discussion
of TAG subject, and made SEN
sible point against making the
embassies too big and elaborate.
The only way TO get more OF
the able men OF small means into
the higher posts of our diplomat
ic service is to make the com
pensation and allowances Tor ex-
pcnses enough to enable a man
Of moderate financial circum-
stances to accept the posts.

TREES FOR ROADSIDE PLANTING

The State Department OF Forestry.
in order to encourage the planting OF
shade trees along the public high
Was, offers to furnish free of charge
at tlfe State Nursery, College Park.
black walnut and black locust trees
of suitable size for roadside plant
ing, under the following conditions:
/. There must be not less than one
half mile Of continuous planting on
both sides of the highway.
2.,Black locust must be planter
not less than 35 feet, nor more than
GO feet apart, black walnut not less
than so feet, or more than rs feet
apart
3. The trees must be planted with
in, the right-of-way of public high
ways, in order to give them the lega
status OF public shade trees, and /,
every case the consent of the abut.
ting property owners must be Sc
cured. On state roads, the locates.
OF the trees must be approved BY
the State Roads Commission, anG
where the right-of-way OF state
road is less than so feet, tree plant
ing is generally prohibited.
4. Applications viii be filed in the
order received. As the supply Of
trees is limited those interested
should apply promptly. The trees of
fered are about two inches in diam
eter and from 9-12 feet in height
No charge is made for the trees,
except when not called for at the
Nursery, College Park, but shipped by
freight or express, the cost of pack
ing for shipment will be charged.
Only black walnut and black locust
are offered, but other species, such
as pin oak, red oak, elm, Oriental
plane, and white ash can be furnish
ed at cost.
Black walnut is well adapted to
roadside planting, where the soil is
deep and fertile with abundant mois-
ture and under such conditions, this
makes rapid growth. 1t does not
cast heavy shade, nor does it i'm
poverish the soil, hence it is very sat
isfactory for planting along roadsides
through agricultural sections, as i
does not interfere with cultivated
crops.
The Department of Forestry viii
cooperate with organizations, or in
dividuals, desiring to plant trees, fur
nish a planting plan, estimate eos;
and also furnish the services of ar
expert to supervise the planting, when
desired.

AN OLD FRIEND

The suggestion of costly en-
bassy buildings for Americans
has from the beginning of our
government rendered such valu-
able service for the oratorical
outbreaks of the advocates of
simplicity as to have become an
old friend. Present in the discus
sions of the first congress it fig
ured again in the closing activi-
ties of the sixty-seventh.
A request for authority for the
Secretary of State to acquire
larger accommodations for our
embassy in Paris started the la
test argument. bringing up as
usual visions Of million dollar
palaces on the one hand and the
picture of Benjamin Franklin in
hom S-spun on the other. did
ever an American ambassador in
Paris accomplish more for his
country than this same plain
Franklin? 7" With no instance of
it recollected, the inference is
supposed to stand that severe
simplicity of living should be the
rule OF our embassies. In prac-
tice, however, it has been observ-
ed that our chief diplomatic
posts abroad usually are filled by
gentlemen whose fitness includes
among other things considerable
wealth. No matter how fervid
the orations for simplicity, the
country seems to prefer reading
