Civil Service Leader Says
Reputed Efficiency
Doesn't Exist.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Conten-
ton of Postmaster General Harry S.
New that the United States Postof-
fee Department is operated eff
GENTLY, is controverted by William
Dudley Foulke, former president of
the National Civil Service Reform
League.
New recently asserted that despite
the SAP, 900, 900 postal deficit, 1.-The de-
partment is managed with a scru-
pulous exactness and regard for safe
economies that is not equalled in any
great industrial corporation in the
country"
Foulke, writing in the magazine,
Good Government, declares, however,
that the deficit could be largely
eliminated if the department were
operated as a business institution,
rather than a political machine.
Foulke points cut that 100000 fourth
class postmasters in the country
mainly owe their appointments to
politics. and asserts ''it is safe to
say that a large proportion Of the
postmasters of the country could be
released from their positions and
their salaries saved and the work of
the offices would go on just as well
without them"

the Teddy Dorminster type and Sis
tiers of the Betty Weymouth kind.
Joanna would have liked to have
Lady Weymouth realize how fond
she was of her, but was ever afraid
Betty Weymouth would not take
such appreciation seriously.

EU7 HILE they waited for the
WI maid to wheel up her tray
G and arrange the service, Jo-
anna proffered Lady Weymouth a
cigaret. For her own she found, on
a table, an exquisite new holder that
Kenilworth had sent her the night
before. She had others set with
emeralds or rubies. This one was
of bamboo in which some Chinese
workman had fixed tiny bits of
camphor jade. How gorgeous,
Lady Betty cried. Trust Roddy
Kenilworth to search the ends of the
earth to safe the whims of his lady
loves"
She was instantly mindful of that
slip of the plural-his lady loves.
And. being an English woman, she
was never at a loss to turn her own
slips into an advantage.
"I'm sorry said that, my dear"
she said gently. But it is just as
well, perhaps, because 1t will open
up my way. I want to talk to you
about the kind Of love that is spoken
of in the plural" Joanna glanced
at her sharply. This was a new
Lady Weymouth.
cor, it may be that 1t is love that
isn't plural I will begin about,
Lady Betty went on, after mo-
ment's contemplation of the smoke
that curled lazily from her lips. Its
about Teddy, you know. Teddy and
you, dear. Teddy's an awful ass,
know, and he's kissed the hem Of a
thousand garments when he should
have stopped at the fingers. But
he's always said that no woman is
ever approached by a man she
doesn't beckon to, and I'm sure he
ought to know"
Again she waited to watch the
nebulous trail OF the smoke wrath
that lifted from her cigaret. Joanna's
jade and bamboo holder was poised
midway between her lipe and the
table. The brown eyes had become
ivory black. Her lids were drawn
close, until they shaped into two
straight lines. You mean" she
said, you want me to stop beckon-
ing?"
Eady Betty was so startled that

him coolly. "You were telling me

novelty in stirring Johns madness,
