GOVERNMENT OWNED BUILDINGS Bartlett Would Not Lease Any Places for Post Offices Washington, May post- office building in the country should owned by the government and the old system of leasing buildings should be “scrapped,’” declared Iirst Assistant Postmaster General Bart- lett today in voicing disapproval of a gystem which made it necessary for the postoffice department recently to lease at an annual rental of more than a million dollars a large struc- ture for mail purposes in New York city. Mr. Bartlett said that the gov- ernment could save millions if a com- mon sense business program could be laid before Congress wifh a fair chance of inducing that body to i propriate a sufficient sum h year for purchase instead of leasing build- ings. Could Save Money. The Postoffice Department has suf- ficlent funds to lease any building to be necessary to proper conduct of the postal system, it was explained, bhut no appropriation is available for the purchase of a structure. Plans r cently were completed providing that he department should lease a build- ing in New York city for twenty years at a rental of $25,000,000. Had the department been permitted by Congress to purchase land and erect its own building, the whole transac- tion could have been handled for about §8,000,000, Mr. Bartlett ex- plained, adding that at the end of the twenty-year period the government would have possessed the building, whereas under the lease the gov- ernment will be out $ 100,000 and have nothing to show for it at the expiration of the lease. System Is Wrong. “The whole system is radically wrong and should be changed at once,” the Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral said. “IFach Congress should set aside a certain sum to be used in the construction of buildings and gradually as leases expire all over the country the department would find itseif the possessor of a system of splendid structures. This method would result in the saving of millions of dollars to the public. In many instances the government is made to pay exorbitant rent. For in- stance the department will lease a building in a small community for ten years, and because of the post- office site property in its vieinity will increase in value, ‘the population of the town increase tenfold, and when the lease expires, the owner of the property very frequently demanc about three or four times the ori year Tomorrow Big Trimmed Hat Sale 20% Discount on Entire Stock of Millinery Here are a few Extra Specials for Tomorrow BANDED SAILORS Special $2.00 worth double PIPING ROCK HATS good quality Special $1.48 MATRONS’ HATS Big variety; Special............ $2.98 up CHILDREN’S HATS.....$1.48 up Goldenblum Millinery Co. inal rental and we are obliged to pay it or look for some other property.” Opposes Action. Mr. Bartlett said he opposed the action of the Joint Postal Commis- sion in recommending the lease of the New York building. The commission felt, however, it was said, that Con- gress would likely oppose such a move at this time and suggested that in view of congested conditions in the metropolis a lease be negotiated. “In this instance,” Mr, Bartlett said, “the owners of the land and those who will crect the new building which is to be used as an annex to the present postoffice building, will be obliged to pay taxes, borrow money at the rate possibly of 7 per cent, and mect other conditions which of course would not have to be ob- served by the government. The same | condition prevails throughout the | United States and the sooner Con- gress and the people realize what it is costing in dollars and cents the soon- ¢r corrective measures will be taken.” GASE_ CONTINUED | | | fee never should be boiled, J | coffee drinker, | measure.

Several pots of coffee are pre- pared, each by a different method, and | then a group of students and instruec- ! tors are called in to sample cach brey | |and determine which they prefer. | | These experiments have heen repeated | over and over again until now the in- vestigators believe they have reliable data on the prefcrence of the average Individual Taste, “It must be emphasized,” Pro- fessor 8. C. Prescott, head of (hrv De- partment of Biology and Public Health in a discussion of these ex- periments, “that the individual prefer- ence or taste plays a very important | part in arriving at an opinios on mat- ters of this sort. Some individuals have a keen taste perception, while with others it is not acute. Further- more, it is likely to be influenced hy training, habit or experience, so that hose who have long been accustomed to a particular style of cooking or a characteristic method of preparation of any food substance unconsciously tend to select the flavor to which they have been habituated as the most desirable. This fact, combined | with the facts that taste, flavor and aroma cannot be made the subject of | exact quantitative estimates, makes it | necessary to replace the individual opinion by a group opinion or pop- ular vote in arriving at a decision as | to what is “best” in the public mind, | We have, therefore, in these practical studies on coffee-making, attempted in every case to test our individual opinions as to quality by checking it against such a group opinion, or rather by becoming units in such a composite group. Test Mcthods. “Observations previously made had indicated that the factors of temper- | ature, quantity of coffee used, fineness | of grind, character of the coffee pot, and time of infusing would be most | important, and we have thercfore car- | ried out many comparative experi- ments in which one factor @lone was | varied, all the others remaining con-| stant, or as nearly so as is humanly | possible. By this means direct com- | parisons are obtained, and conclusions reached absolutely free of individual bias. Some of these conclusions we | believe to be of very great importance in the movement for “perfect coffee.” . Making the Test. “With the particular variant known to but onc person, a series of ('of(vt»s; is prepared, and while fresh and hot tested and compared by a group of in- | dividuals of intelligence and ability to diseriminate. No discussion is permit- ted during the test, the report of pre- ference or quality being designated on a slip of paper which is given into the | custody of the coffee maker. When the whole group has reported the individ- ual opinions are tabulated and the popular preference is indicated by the majority vote. While the groups have | in general been small. say of ten to| twenty individuals, the total number of different persons has been about sixty, and the repetition of the . tests has been undertaken as a control It cannot be claimed that a single test of this sort is always conclusive, therefore it is our purpose to make constant repetitions with larger numbers, before an- nouncing opinions as final.
