E THE MATTER EXPLAINED POSTMASTER GENERAL. BY APPLIES ONLY TO MAGAZINES Believes Distinction Should Be Mad Between Advertising 2nd Le gitimate Reading Matter. Washington. Postmaster General Hitchcock's plan of requiring the magazines to pay Increased postage on their advertising pages sufficient to eliminate postal deficits and to warrant 1 cent postage on first class mail in the near future was officially explained. Mr. Hitchcock, feeling his position had not been clearly un derstood. Issued this statement: "Postmaster General Hitchcock be lieves that in carrying out the ad ministration's purpose to accomplish a reasonable Increase in the postage rates on certain kinds of second-class matter, more distinction should be made between advertising and what is termed legitimate reading matter. He does not favor, under present con ditions, an increase in the rates of postage for carrying reading matter. Any increase thus applied, he points out, will place a special burden on a large number of second-class publica tions, such as educational and reli gious periodicals, that derive little or no profit from advertising. "For these publications and also for any other legitimate reading mat ter in periodical form. Mr. Hitchcock suggests a continuation of the pres ent low postage rate of 1 cent a pound and recommends that the pro posed increase in rates be only ap plied to magazine advertising matter. "This plan would be in full acord with the statute governing second class mail, a law that never justified the inclusion under the second-class rates of the vast amounts of advertis ing now transported by the govern ment at a tremendous loss. "In view of- the vanishing postal deficit Mr. Hitchcock thinks that if the magazines can be required to pay what it costs the government to car ry their advertising pages the depart ment's revenues will be large enough to warrant 1 cent postage on first class mail. ' Under the plan proposed it will be possible without Increasing the ex penditure of public funds to utilize for the benefit of the entire people that considerable portion of the post al revenues now expended to meet the cost of a special privilege enjoyed by certain publishers. "Experiments made by the depart ment show that it is quite feasible to determine the relative weights of the advertising matter and the legitimate reading matter carried by the maga zines and Mr. Hitchcock is convinced that his plan can be put into success ful operation."

INCREASED POSTAG r WILBUR DNEPBrn' The brain that dreamed the magic stralai Is dust these many, many years. Tet still the music swells and wanes And works Its upell on him who hears; The melody Is clear and sweet With dulcet gladness in each tone: Of haunting swing and rhythmic beat Are murmured chords that sins alone. The hand that wrote the olden rhymes These many, many years Is dust; The sword It held In olden times A century ago was rust Out here today as fair as then We have the song that holds the heart Which throbs again, and yet again. Because of this undying art. And they who wrote this sonr. they gave The world no conquest of their hands. They caused no battle flags to wave. They trampled through no alien lands. Their fame came not through women's tears Nor through the heaping of their gold And yet through nil the bygone years The simple song their fame has told. 8o sing it softly, when the night Flings shadows from the drowsy west. For all its measures, shadow-light. AVith comfort and heartsease are blest. And it may be to some fair star wish afloat an echo of some strain To tell the two who bide afar They did not write their song In vain. Fishing. The devil, we are told, is the father of lies. Fishing, therefore, must be the father of the devil, or else some intimate family friend. Fishing is not an art; it is not a sport; it is usually an unaccomplished act The essentials to fishing arc a pole, a line, and an eliminated conscience. Also the person who desires to take up Ashing as a means of occupying his time for a day or so must have so much hope that he has to carry most of it in condensed form. Some people fish by casting the line hither and yon, then working the reel and swearing. Others cut out the casing and the reeling-in and double up on the pro fanity. The mystery about fishing is not why you do not catch anything, but why, when you move from an appar ently Ashless spot, the other man can row in there and immediately catch a whale. Jonah for years was suspected of being merely, a fisherman. Quits Different jj He chides her, sarcastically, for turning about to look at the women they have passed. "You cannot resist the temptation." he says, "to see what they are wear ing." "Xot so." she replies, in defense. "1 merely turned about to see if they had turned cbout to see what my new dress was made of." Just So. Lives of toothless mi-n remind us We must reach our meals on time Or the lift boys else will llnd us Fletchcrizing as we climb. Time Works Changes. "Where is my husband?" asks the woman of her brother-in-law, who has come to visit them for the first time in 15 years, and who has taken the husband out with him to dinner. "He's still seeing the town," ex plains the brother-in-law. "He said a while ago that he had no idea the town had grown so much In 15 years, and that while he was about It he would see it all." Feared Pneumonia. "I don't see why you insisted on coming out here in our spring clothes on such a blustery, raw day." "But think of everybody reading about you and I being the very first people to appear in light garb." "Reading it? Where? On tombstones?" our In Tokyo. "Is It not splendid." asks Okate San of her papa, "that we are adopting so many of the American customs?" "The rustoms are all right." re sponds the kind old gentleman, "but,'' thinking cf the collection of bills that came in his mail that day, "the adop tion of the costumes. It seems to me Is open to objection." The Probability. "Have you never gazed Into the glooming distance and fancied that you could hear the walls of a tortured BOUl?" "Maybe It Is merely some one trying to repair his 8010." 7UT7u WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS Physician's Method May Have Been All Right, but Hera He was at Fault. We arc told that the latest sens tion in the medical world is the asser tion of a doctor that he is able, by looking into a patient's eye. to make an accurate diagnosis of the complaint which the patient is suffering. But fa this really as novel as It is suppose to be? I recollect bearing some Mm ago of a doctor who said to a patient who was under examination: "1 can see by the appearance of your right eye what is the matter with you. Yo are suffering from 'liver. "My right eye?" asked the patient "Yes, returned the doctor. "It shows me plainly that your liver la cut of order." "Excuse me, doctor. said the pa tient, apologetically. "My right ty'w a glass one." AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED IN A DAY "la the middle of the night of Marcm 30th I woke up with a burning Itch 1m my two hands and I felt as U I could pull them apart In the morning the Itching had gone to my chest and dur ing that day It spread all over mf body.

All About It To appreciate fully this scrap of dfa ,nR equoted from London Punch, one should see the two odd characters en gaged in it. Apparently they parted satisfied, one that bo had Imparted eome real information, the other that he had received some. Said one man: "D'you rccoilec' old wot's-'is-nameT" " 'Im with the collar?"

The talk had gone back and fro. and the youthful socialist had been an nouncing that no man ought to get his living by cheating, and we all listened to him. and agreed that it was dread ful when men and women did not tell the Jruth, but trlgd to make their liv ing by deceiving people.

"Now that all is over between us," she said, "I suppose you will buy a re volver and put an end to your wretch ed existence?"
