It was only about fifty years ago that “Joe™ Mc- Cullough, afterward distinguished as an editor, tried the 'prentice hand of a reporter on Andrew Johnson, then President of the United States, and secured a talk which set a fashion of incalculable value.

The commissioner of internal revenue in his annual report states certain facts that are well known in Wash- ington, presumably well known throughout the country, and which have been complained against for a generation—perhaps for half a dozen generations. The commissioner asks that his bureau occupies space in seven buildings, and that it has been “carefully estimated that with suit- able quarters the efficiency of the bu- reau would be so increased that at least 25 per cent more work could be accomplished with the present ex- penditures, and the consequent sav- ings would equal in less than two years the cost of an adequate, well planned, permanent, fireproof struc- ture.” ‘The probabilities are that of the several buildings used by the bu- reau none is a so-called “fireproof” building, seveyal are not fire resistant and some are tawdry, The principal way to cut fire losses is to put up fireproof buildings. The others will burn down sooner or later. For the government to do business in shabby and inflammable buildings, exposing public records to extraordinary fire hazards, is cheap folly. Records have enough fire perils even in fireproof buildings. The fireproof building, or that buildingewhich is as nearly fire- proof as can be, is one of the demands of modern times.

Tt is not too early for the average person to begin to think about “mail- ing early for Christmas.” Washing- tonians have set a record for the rest of the country, it is believed, the “peak” of the outgoing mail from this city last year having been pushed two days ahead of December 25. In expediting the Christmas mail this season there is one detail which the Post Office Department wishes called to the attention of the people. 1t is the necessity for using stationery of the proper size. It Is not generally realized teat the use of small and odd =ized envelopes and postal cards re- tards tht mails immensely. The minimum size of cards and en- velopes should not be below 2% by 4 inches, the postal authorities declare. It will not be necessary for people to measure their cards and envelopes, but only to use the ordinary kind. It may be tempting to let the children send “little letters,” but they are slow- ing up the mails when they are al- lowed to do so. Not only is the entire mail of the city slowed up, but the little letters and cards stand a chance of being disfigured and mutilated.
