service that had become an important factor
IN the lives of the colonistS, and one doubly so
with the daily growing prospect of an open
break with the mother country.
When the break came and the Continental
Congress had placed its approval on the Dec
laration of Independence, the first matter to
receive attention after provision had been made
for armed opposition to England was that of
an American mail service. Franklin Of course
was named chairman of a committee to draw
up plans for such service
His report was adopted by the Congress on
July g. IT'S, and on the same day Franklin
was named as the first Colonial Postmaster
General. He established line of posts from
Massachusetts to Georgia and served until No
vember of the following year. when he re-
signed to assume the more important duty OF
inducing France to lend aid and substance to
his f1ghtinig countrymen. His son-in-law,
Richard Bache, became the second Colonial
Postmaster General.
THE first so years Of American postal his
tory Is almost complete blank because Of
the great fire of 1886. which destroyed the Post
ONCE Building at Washington and with it al
most every vestige of postal records. Years
later q Postmaster General was forced to
admit to Congress that he was unable to sup
ply the names Of Assistant PoStmasters General
who had served from the beginning of the
system.
One Volumo alone was saved from the names
by a youthful messenger In the Office OF the
audibUr Of the Treasury for the Post Office
Department This book, still in existence and
now under control of the chief clerk of the
Post Office Department, is ledger of postal
revenues for the years 1776, 1877 and 1778
So far as is known, no other postal records Of
the early years are in existence.
The book contains 124 pages Of fat cap
paper, every entry being as distinct, perhaps,
as the day on which 1t was written The &C
counts were kept in pounds, shillings and
pence. In these days of decimal currency 1t
is difficult to conceive how the colonial book
keeper kept his accounts straight, particularly
when each colony had its own currency, with
varied and constantly changing values
Eighty colonial post Offices are listed in the
ledger. The index is divided into five sections,
with the vowelS A, E, l. o and U used as
headings.
Conspicuous by its absence in the colonial
ledger is the name of the Boston post Office,
although Charles Town. Worcester Springfield
and other Massachusetts towns appear in their
regular places. To the layman the failure to
find one of the most important early cities Is
mystifying, but the historian will readily re-
call that during the period covered by the
ledger Boston was in the hands Of the British,
where they were penned in by washington's
raw recruits.

Paper Old and New

Modern paper receives Its share OF
criticism, perhaps not unjustly. It
Is asserted that present-day paper Is
perishabe and that books printed
upon 1t will not last, and comparisons
unfavorable to the paper of today are
drawn between the old-fashioned ar
ticle and the new.
Much that has been said on this sub
1eet Is undoubtedly true, but the In
ference must not be drawn that oil old
paper was lasting. The investigations
go to show that the paper of past
days was often very poor stuff. The
history of paper making in Europe
from the time of its introduction into
Spain by the Moors in the Eleventh
century shows that from Its earliest
use paper was deemed fit only for
passing documents and that when 1t
was first used in bound books 1t was
thought necessary to bind alternate
leaves of parchment and paper, az
paper was deemed too brittle to stand
the strain.

Cloth Once printed"
by Laborious Process

Cloth was printed before the book
printing press was invented. 1t was a
laborious process. The design for
calico cloth was outlined on the sur
face of wooden block, the outlines
were bounded by pieces of brass or
copper. and the surface filled in with
felt to hold the color, and sometimes
designs of as many as three or four
colors were printed by this method
When the block was completed II was
dipped in color box, and the pattern
was then impressed upon the fabric
by stamping by hand, and for each
color to be printed the cloth had to
to be stamped by separate operation
1t would take q man and one or two
helpers whole year to print as many
yards of cloth as can be printed on n
modern printing machine In prob

Why We Do
What We Do
WHY WE WINDOW SHOP

THE obvious reasons for window
L shopping are the attractiveness of
the display, getting line on the
things we are thinking of buying, and
the quest for bargains. The shop
keepers make it worth our while to
look around.
Other reasons why we window shop
are not so apparent. Contrary to the
purpose of the display, we get our
satisfaction in seeing the things in
the window and hence do not need to
purchase them. Our Imagination helps
us to appropriate everything we look
at. We are truly monarch OF all that
we survey. What necessity Is there
of owning the thing II we can see 1t
in the window? What more could we
do with 1t at home? This Is true Of
works of art.
Another way In which the window
display prevents our buying Is that
we see so many good things that we
cannot make up our minds which one
to buy. Every good salesman knows
that the more specimens he shows the
more difficult 1t Is to make a sale. The
prospective buyer is bewildered and
hesitates. II Is so much easier to
choose between two than between
hundred An experienced clerk will
size up his customer and bring him
exactly what he wants. He resorts
to showing other things only when
the customer appears to contemplate
leaving the store. The moment we
make purchase we then own only
one. Ever afterwards we lose our
claim to the rest. When we look in
the window we feel that we must be
loyal to the one we have purchased
and this gives us feeling of detach-
ment.
We window shop because 1t Is a
cheap and pleasant pastime. We are
attracted by the beauty and cleverness
Of the dlsylay, we gather new ideas
of values, we come to know the latest
fads and fashions, and above all, to
appropriate all of them without money
and without price.
