Carelessness Costs Uncle Sam
" $50,000 a Yearv ' -
i' , oi.ih , i.,Wi.,'Litn f4 ,
Washington.--Tha mental v lanses
of letter writers cost' Uncle Sam
about $30,000 a year. That is the
- estimate of fi. G Cowles, , super-
, intendent of the postofflce depart
v ment'a dead letter and parcel post
, . division at Washington, D. C, who
hashed thirty-two years' experience
In handling misdirected mail, , .
The last annual report of the post
: master general mentioned 12,507,130
letters received ' during the fiscal
year at dead letter offices. ''
Many are dubbed "blanks" by
" postal officials because they carry
, no addressed at all Cowles esti
mated that three of every ten
.. "blanks" 'contain money in some
form.-: Other letters, known as 'in
completes,' usually' have the name
but little else. Still Other envelopes,
although-properly addressed, ' lack
stamps and - remain unclaimed.
Others are addressed to towns which
; do not exist r ;
Some of those place names which
were -msed last year, but are un
listed In the postal guide include
Zenda. m.; Sodia, Wis.; Holton, 111.;
' Pentown, Ind., and Rich, 111.
fy From his discussions with postal
-Inspectors Cowles has formulated
several theories explaining the fail
. ure- of persons to address letters
'and packages correctly. :
One group he Classified as "inter
cepted addresses' In this case the
MnnliiM t f a . . a
wer apparently wierrupieu
by a visitor, office boy, maid.1 or
ringing of telephone or door belL
and forgot to complete the address.
1 Another group Cowles called the
."awociation of Ideas." . As an ex
ample, he said, "Suppose one per
son is writing to another who lives
at Fort Recovery,- Ohio. ' Absent
mindedly the writer may scribble
off 'Fort Convalescence.' W get
lots of them like that, but we can
usually : figure out what the writer
had in mind." . .
The high percentage of "blanks"
in sending money Cowles attributed
to the fact that the writer has al
ready written out a name and ad
dress on money order slip or pos
sibly check, and gets the idea he
has done all the addressing neces
sary. t, , '.-j, ' 'i'J 1
Until three years ago dead letters
and packages cost the "government
more than $150,000 a year, a staff
of 126 being maintained in Washing
ton for the department. In 1933,
however, 1,082 first class postofflces
were authorized to handle their own
dead mail and a saving of $100,000
resulted. Only nine persons are
needed in Washington now.
Well Managed Flocks ,
.fLar Well AH Winter
(-..the, December . 'and t January Blump
in Itgg' " production., .experienced by
North Carolina poultry ; flocks cuts
heavily into the -profits that , should
be. made during; the winter.
This abnormal slump is not found
in good flocks that receive the pro
per care and management, said C. F.
Parriah, extension poultry specialist
at State College. -
In making a study of North Caro
lina flocks, the extension poultry de
partment found reason to believe that
much of the slump is due to poor
housing: conditions and to errors in
feeding and management
The two most common mistakes in
housing are: failure to provide ade
quate apace for the birds and failure
to protect them from cold and drafts.
Parrish pointed out
There should be at least four
square feet, of floor space for each
bird to be housed, he continued.
Houses may be kept warm by making
them draft-proof, and providing
means of closing the fronts on cold
days and nights.
The most common mistake in feed
ing is that of trying to economize,
Parrish stated. Many growers feed
no mash or only small amounts of
mash, with the result that egg pro
duction is cut in half.
Birds should be fed liberally on a
balanced ration consisting of mash
and grains, or on an all-mash ration,
he went on. Keep the feed before
the birds at all times in waste-proof
hoppers.
The birds should also have plenty
of fresh, warm water. It will also
help to give them a supplementary
feed of young, . tender green feed
when this is available.
e Horses Are Finicky About
the Fit of Their Shoes
(ton,OhioA fine racing
horse, Says W. AHaddox, veteran
blacksmith, and authority on race
horse shoeing, is more finicky about
the shoes he wears than a debutante
going to her coming-out party.
' "Give a spirited horse a shoe that
ian ounce off-weight or a fraction
of 'an inch too thick and his chances
of winning will be lost," Haddox
said. "On the other hand, like hu
man beings, horses have foot ail
ments that can be cured and the
horse built into a winner by proper
shoeing." ;
HaOoxv one of the old school of
smithys, refuses to let the produc
tion manufactured shoe replace the
hand iiagii
"Shoes for human beings can be
turned out in factory lots,?, he said,
"but when it comes to horses a shoe
must be buUtvtoactUBJLmeasureV
ments of the hoof to be perfectly
satisfactory for the. horse to get all
the speed available out . of .bis
muscle.";.
