DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN: I
would be very much obliged if
you will settle a little dispute
that has arisen between my
friend and me. My friend thinks
it is incorrect to eat ones salad
in american company with your
knife and fork. And / contend
that it is correct today. Who
is right? G. G.
You are right! I could name
at least five American manu-
factured salad knives. And the
growers of lettuce are dancing
in the streets" because this
sensible custom has been ack-
nowledged as good taste and
logical and reasonable!
And why shouldn't we use
our knives as well as our forks
when we eat our salads? With
the great American hearts of
lettuce salad. and with endives
and rings OF pineapple and
many other ingredients. surely
the fork needs the able assist
ance of the knife. I have been
urging the use Of the salad
knife as well as the fork. for
many years, and SO of course,
am as delighted as the lettuce
growers themselves that the Gus
tom is becoming popular.

BROWN PLANS CUT
IN POSTAL DEFICIT
Change in Accounting System
One of First Steps Planned
in Department.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Is SACRAMENTO, Calf, September 20.
POSTMASTER General Walter F. Brown,
addressing the convention of the Ma
tional Association of PoStmaSterS here
today, disclosed plans he is formulating
with a view to reducing the deficit in
the operation of his department.
"As a prerequisite to an attack upon
the postal deficit" Brown said, IAN i'm
portant change in keeping the depart
ment accounts was inaugurated with
the beginning of the fiscal year.
Heretofore the expenditures of the
department for all of the services 1t
performed had been charged to expense
of postal service. The department rem
ders a large volume of postal service
for which 1t receives no compensation,
and, Furthermore, it performs important
and costly services which are essential
ly 'non-postal.'
"Perhaps the notable example of this
kind Of service" he said, lis the de-
partment's share in the administration.
of merchant marine acts. The cost of
carrying ocean mails under the pro-
vision of the merchant marine act of
1928 for the current fiscal year will be
not less than $12,000.000 more than the
service would cost under poundage rates.
Under our new accounting system
the cost of ocean mail contracts, In
excess of poundage rates. the cost OF
penalty mail carried for the executive
departments and independent executive
establishments frank mail. free In
county newspapers, mail free for the
blind, etc. will not be charged to the
expense of postal operations. but will
be grouped together under an appro-
pirate head. The aggregate of our
postal revenues will then be substracted
from the aggregate of our real postal
costs, and the differnce will appear as
q true postal deficit"
