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."

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.
