good line of defence against the infection of

the two days before Christmas found the post
office clerks swamped by outgoing and incoming
mail Yesterday not enough mail came in to keep
the clerks busy No extra force has had to be put
on since the first of the month when extra men are

mail this year is something of a puzzle to the
postal officials for people evidently buying Just
as much as usual, if not more, and are probaby
giving as many presents as in preceding years.
