Robert Kclcson. of 4 Kinr Feathers" Company, one of famous!
stars who will aid in benefit for Kmpty Stocking Fund at the At-1
lanta Theater December 12.
ATLANTA FIR
Preparations for the herculean task
? handling the millions of Christmas
sifts have begun by Postmaster Boll -
in* Jones, following the issuance of a
general order from Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson in Washington to all « f
'ncle Sam's postoffices.
For the first time, the postal au-
i.rities will be confronted with a
test of the parcel post service which
* to bear the brunt of the transpor
tion and delivery of the millions of
i resents.
Precautionary measures in the
preparation and dispatching of par-
els through the mails have been
ged on the public to facilitate the
tremendous work.
Postmaster General Burleson, who
responsible for the conduct of this
service, has made extraordinary prep
arations to prevent congestion .n
nstofficep and to insure prompt de-
: very of these parcels. Several thou
sand additional employees will be
added to the force during the holiday
season, and the connection and deliv
ery equipment will he augmented
w erever necessary in Atlanta us
elsewhere. Every possible effort has
pen made to strengthen those parts
,r the postal organization which will
i.e under the greatest strain, and Mr.
Burleson stated to-day that with
..se special arrangements ho is con
fident of the ability of the service to
•■•idle successfully the avalanche of
irrels that wiJJ be thrown upon it
uring the rush period.
Seeks Public's Aid.
The Postmaster (Tenoral is anxious,
c-wever. lest the public fails to co
operate with him in observing several
important conditions, necessary to en
able the postal authorities to effect
vie timely delivery of Christmas gifts.
In order to secure this co-operation lie
has caused to be printed for distribu
tion throughout the country hundreds
,.f thousand of circulars and placards
ontaining directions for the proper
preparation of Christmas gifts for
■r':iremission by mail.
Christmas parcels should be mailed
early. Cor local delivery they should
i.e mailed not later than December 23,
nd for out-of-town delivery as soon
s possible. But in anv event, in time
> reach the offices of destination at
..-t two days prior to Christmas.
Christinas gifts sent bv mail should
■ o wrapped securely. The containers
r wrappers should be sufficiently
strong to withstand the necessary
to transportation
handling incident
and delivery.
Glassware, crockery. Christmas toys
easily breakable, glass-framed pic
tures. etc., should he carefully packed
in boxes of metal, wood, leather or
corrugated pasteboard, with sufficient
excelsior, raw cotton or similar mat
ter to prevent the contents coming
into comact'with any portion of the
box. These parcels should be marked
"Fragile.” Postmasters will refuse
to accept for mailing packages that
are insecurely prepared.
Parcels should be addressed plainly.
The addresses should be complete and
plainly written in ink. The regula
tions require that parcel post pack
ages shall bear the najnes and ad
dresses of both the sender and the
addressee. If a tak is used the names
and addresses of the sender and the
addressee should be also written on
thet parcel itself.
Parcels Can Not Be Sealed.
Parcels sent in advance of Christ
mas may be marked. “Not to be
opened until Christmas." "Best
wishes.” etc., may be inclosed in par
cels. hut no other written or printed
communication should be placed
| therein, as this will subject the parcel
to a higher rate of postage. Parcels
should not he sealed or otherwise
closed against inspection, fHie sealed
parcels being subject to the first rate
of postage.
Photographs, printed books and
other printed matter are not included
in the parcel post, but are third-class
matter, on which the postage rate is
1 cent for each 2 ounces, or fraction
thereof.
Parcels not exceeding 4 ounces in
weight may he mailed in street boxss
when prepared in conformity with the
foregoing requirements. The postage
on such packages is uni formally 1
cent for each ounce, or fraction there
of. Parcels weighing more than 4
ounces are mailable onlv at the main
postoffiee or its stations.
Ordinary postage stamps are valid
for postage on parcel post matter.
< 'hristmas stamps or stickers of any
kind other than postage stamps
should not be placed on the address
of mail matter, as this renders such
j matter unmailable.
Valuable parcel post packages may
bo insured against loss in an amount
not exceeding $25. on a payment of a
fee of 5 cents in addition to the posi-
j age. And for a fee of 10 cents such
; packages will be insured in any
| amount not exceeding $50.

which reveal that the accustomed silk

In National Park
W
Having hit the $10.00u-a-day clip,
the Oglethorpe committees Thursday
were able to see nothing more likely
I than that they now would pigweed to
I marc h on to victory , and reach thul
I estimable goal before the dawn ot
| 1914 waked Atlanta
Wednesday was tin* "big day.” so
j far; just as Monday was the first “big
! day,” and Tuesday the second. By
i Thursday afternoon early It will be
| known if Thursday is to be the next
; "big day,” and a I efforts are being
j made to raise the murk.
All kinds of subscriptions featured
the work Wednesday. There was a
gratifying blow struck in tin* good
cause when Dr. H. J. Gaertner an
nounced a subscription of $5,000 by a
man whose name was with tin* com
mittee. but who would prefer to have
it announced later
Baseball Chiefs Help.
Then there was a subscription by
Billy Smith, manage r of the cham
pion Crackers of 1913. and (keeping
in the light of tne diamond) a plucky
bit of work by F. E. Callaway, pres
ident of the Atlanta Baseball Asso
ciation, who. wi ll all the rest of his
committee out of town, went to work
and scraped up $i*25 .-til by himself.
All of which is vastly cheering to
the workers for tne refounding of
Oglethorpe.
Ivan E. Allen, general chairman, at
the noonday luncheon Wednesday at
the Piedmont Ho.el told the commit
teemen that the* $39,045.50 raised in
three days was all the more gratify
ing in that it represented for the most
part renewals of subscriptions to the
former fund, the c out ribufors to which
seemed euger to revive their subscrip
tions, and, in many cases, to increase
or even to double them.
New Territory Allotted.
In addition to the working of the
old list, new territory w%s allotted for
the general canvass, and Thursday
morning the work spread over new
fields in all parts of Atlanta, the city
having been divided into sections, one
to each committee

around Atlanta, which is a reasonable
distance, figuring on the time required
for mail to leave one city after the
close of business to arrive in the
regional reserve city by the opening
of business the following morning,
such a circle will include the States
of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
North and South Carolina, Florida
and a part of Mississippi.
“In that circle is a population • f
10,000,000 people. It lakes in a sec
tion growing o,500,000 bales of cotton
with approximately $400,000,000 de
posits. 'Atlanta, by virtue of having
fourteen independent lines of rail
ways radiating from it to practically
every point of the compass, becomes
the logical center for the business of
that section in respect to the estab- j
lishnient of the proposed regional
ba n k.
"Atlanta is well known now as the
distributing center of that section. In
It are located the headquarters of till i
of the insurance companies doing
business in the South. It was se
lected because mail from the agents
could reach Atlanta from that section
in practically one night. Atlanta is
the headquarters of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company, which controls
all the telephone lines in that part of
the country. Other large establish
ments operating throughout the
1 Tilted States have located in Atlan
ta their Southern representatives.'
Referring again to the currency
bill. Mr. Maddox said that measure
had been very much improved, ami
he believed it would be further im
proved in its progress through the I
Senate.
Legislators to Go Slow Now.
Mr. Maddox s*id also:
"I was very much gratified to find
in Washington, among the leaders of J
tile Senate, the well defined opinion
that it would not be wise at present
to push further any radical legisla
tion. fel.
"They seemed to rea^jfelhat there
was a business recession alp over this
country as well as abroad, and that
the United States In their digestion
of the tariff bill and the new curren
cy bill should be left free from furth
er governmental inquiry or legisla
tion.
"One of the most prominent mem
bers of the Senate—a recognized
leader—told me he had heard this
expression from several of the Sena
tors, and he believed that President
Wilson had the same ideas.”
