BUSINESSMENACT 0 SAVE FAST MAL Post 8,000 Letters Every 40 Minutes to Show Need of Frequent Collections. Business men of V so spurred by publication in The Star last week of a story to ths effect that the Washington city post office prob- ably would abandon the “quick collec tion” of mail June 1 that since then the average collection have been §,000 letters per trip. The collection of approximately 8.000 letters e minutes in the down- town busine: on. Postmaster Chance said today. so relieved the late aft- ernoon col'ections that it is now likely that he may report favorably to the Post Office Department on the retention of the trial “quick collection” service. Anxious to Keep Service. Business men. after reading the ar- ticl> in The Star, sought Postmaster Chance and - expressed themselves as sorry that the routes were in danger of failure, and said that by all means some- thing must be done. The word was spread, and the morning and early afternoon collections began to pick up at once, with the result that X.000 letters came into the city post of- fieo at every collection, instead of the two and three thousand which previous- Iy _had been the avcrage. Postmaster Chance said today that jthe “quick collection™ service is but a part of the city-wide mail-early cam- paign, and that at no time has any in- dication of small collections on the former mitigated against the broad success of the latter. Only about 100,- 000 letters, on an average, are collected daily from boxes in the business section, whereas approximately 1,000,000 are col- lected daily throughout the city. Service Great Success, In its broad aspects the ¥mail-early” campaign here is a tremendous success, as Postmaster General Hays announced to postmasters of the country last week, in sending them copies of a letter from Postmaster Chance reporting the suc- cess of the campaign here. The fact that the government depart- ments have put themsclves behind the campaign to the limit alone makes the campaign a success, as about 75 per cent of the mail handled by the local post office is government mail. Every department is getting its mail in ear! and when this is combined with the gen- eral response of the city the success of the movement is tremendous. WOULD CENSOR MOVIES. Home and School Association Would Protect Morals of Children. Censoring of motion pictures ex- hibited to the school children of Washington by a committee composed of mothers and teachers, to be ap- pointed by the Commissoners, is urged in a resolution adopted by the Emery- Eckington Home and School Associa- tion, copies of which were received today by the city heads. The resolu- tion ‘was adopted by the organization at a recent meeting. It was pointed out in the resolution that the members of the associaton “view with alarm the evil tendencies and influences of such movinz pic- ashington seemed f Justice Gould. The resolution was| tures as make their appeal to what is base and low in sex and the sex im- as well as what is otherwise vulgar and baneful to the child mind."" The resolution further stipulated that the “tremendous mo- ral. educational and recreational ad- vantages of the good moving pictures” are resognized and that the association desires to encourage such pictures while condemning and seeking to out- law what is morally and mentaily harmful to the child. Mrs. William Wolfe Smith and Harry Crandall were lauded in the regolution for their activities in the matter of clean moving pictures. Sees Industrial Waste Losses Being Saddled Upon the Nation | By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. May 24.—Huge losses through industrial waste are being saddied upon the nation, it was declared today at a national forum. held in connection with the meeting of the American Society of Mechani cal Engineers. Leadinz cnginee manufacturers, technologists and ed- ucators heard a sharp indictment of methods in American industry by L. W.

I want Mr. Kramer to obey the law just as much as bootleggers.” he de- clared, adding that $6.900,000 already had been appropriated for prohibition enforcement during the current fiscal year. 5 " Representative Madden, republican, f Illinois. said Mr. Kramer should have appealed for funds to Congress through the Seeretary of the Treasury instead of through the newspapers, and asserted that he “ought to be dis- charged.” GIVE INFORMATION TODAY.

Mr. Wallace gave the first official findings_of the “American Engineering Council's committee on climination of waste in industry. appointed by Herbert Hoover. This committee, of which Mr. | Wallace is vice chairman, has for sev- eral months been conducting a nation- wide assay of waste. | " “In" the manufacture of ladies’ hats, shoes and millinery.” said Mr. Wallace, | “there is great waste through changing styles. Who is responsible? The de- | signer. the manufacturer and the dealer will tell you that the women demand ragical and frequent changes. The woman will earnestly insist that she would be content to wear last year's dress if it were not out of style. Duc to Lack of Standardization. “A prominent locomotive builder was able to build 163 standard designed loco- motives in five wecks, while it was able to produce only 104 ioeomotives of in- dustrial design in the same period.

Roberis. superintendent: of weights, meuasures and markets. called attention today to the fact tha the police regulation allows any per-| son 1o bring (o the farmers' row the! goods of three farmers, but no morc.} Reason for Limitation. The purpose of the regulation, hei said, s to prevent . person from | making a business of going through tho rural districts with trucks, buy- ing up produce from various farms| and then occupying the farmers’ space in tha market fo dispose of it “When Congress built the farmers’ shed at the markets” the superin- tendent continucd. “the intention was that it should be used by farmers who bring their produce here for sale. A farmer who does not raise sufficient produce to make the trip worth while can scnd his goods in by another farmer or by an agent. “One farmer may bring to market his own goods and the goods of two or he may bring the produce ¢ othcrs with none of his own goods. Mr. Roberts said that during and | after the war he and Commissioner | Brownlow decided not to enforee this regulation to the leiter because of the scarcity of farm labor. A few weeks ago. he stated, notice was served on the persons using the farm- ers’ row that they would be restricted to the privilege of bringing in the produce from three farms. Regulation Too Stringent. It is the contention of the small farmers in the nearby country that the limitation to three is too strin- zent. and that a more liberal regula- ! tion would work to the advantage of both the small farmers and the con- sumers in the District who patronize the farmers’ market line. Confer. ences ars now being held by hucksters | in nearby territory with a view to making an appeal for change in the regulation or it's repeal.
