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. -A Paints Limbs for Stockings Paris Fad Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian PARIS, Dec. 4.—The decollete limb is just been introduced by several ultra-fashionable women.

Liberate 14 Bison 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 ill Dog Kennel Shelters Boy 'Indian Hunters' NEW YORK, Dec. 4. Four Brooklyn boys who started f<>r the Wild West to shoot Indians were found asleep in a dog kennel. Continued From Paqe 1. 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.” Sffi, [•7 *0 Ip* ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT AVegclable Preparation for As sirailatutS the Foot)and Reftid i ing tlu- SionaOis aiuiifowM CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
