Fraya and those freaks who at intervals predict the end of the world. Every year the Pathfinder checks up to find out the batting averages of these prophets, and generally finds them to be zero. For example. Belle Bart predicted that during 1927 Edison would die suddenly, that Mussolini would lose his power, that the Volstead act wuold be modified, that Ford would have to combine with another manufacturer and that the Prince of Wales would get married. Other predictions made by various prophets which failed of fulfillment last year included the destruction of New York and Atlanta, trouble with Canada, and the return of long skirts. Mme. Fraya was the only seress to score even a fraction of a point. She prophesied that more marriages would be dissolved in ,1927 than in any previous year.

Most of his excursions into business of magnitude have resulted rather disastrously for the taxpayers who have to pay his losses. Possibly that is why he engages in the business of printing envelopes in competition with private citizens. In such petty business he appears to shine- He might be a great success in running a chain of government-operatepeanut stands. There would be about as much excuse for one activity as the other. Private printers must pay taxes, licenses and other overhead charges. Besides they must make some profit if they are to continue to exist. Uncle Sam has none of these conditions to meet. The money lost by the Post Office department is made up by further taxation, drawn in part from the very citizens who are injured by this uncalled-fo- r competition. Bills are before Congress whose object is to end this unfair and utterly indefensible practice of printing envelopes by the government. The small-towprinters who are greatly handicapped by the prac tice mostly publishers of community weekly newspapers are asking for relief from this injusticeOther business men, who stand for the principle of private instead of public control of business, should rally to the support of the printers in their eminently just demand that this rotten practice be stopped. No Senator or Congressman possessed of even an elementary sense of fair dealing should fail to see why it should be stopped, or ' fail to vote to stop it. Coming to F.O.B.
