sanitary homes for the better class Of
colored tenants. 1t has been noticeable
in Washington for. many years that while
attention was given to the needs of the
white population in the way of houses,
for sale and for rent, there has all along
been shortage in the way Of proper
housing of that portion of the colored
population who desire modern, sanitary
homes. These houses have been built
with this need in view.
The dwellings are up-to-date in every
feature, with gas. modern heating plants.

various widths. the widest being twenty
two and a half feet; the prices ranging
from $500 to $4,000, with rents from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month. The largest
number of these have already been rent
ed. The section in which they are To-
Gated is very desirable. being just west

houses among colored tenants is attested
by the fact that the larger number were
rented before the completion of the
houses. Several of these have already
been sold to investors.

MAIL PACKAGES EARLY.

Much haS been said n the news
papers recently IN favor Of shopping
early. both as matter of self-interest
and ont OF consideration for clerks ana
other employees who are certain TO be
oyerworked with the near approach of
the holidays Scarcely less important
IS il that those who contemplate send
ing packages out of the city should
mail them at as early a date as posi-.
BILE.
There is the same terrific rush in
the postofhce as in the shops and
stores just before Christmas, and al
though extra help is employed. it is
impossible TO give as good service as
when conditions are normal. For self
ish reasons. If no other, packages
should be mailed early. to the end
that they may be handled expeditions
~ and be certain to reach their desti-
nation on time. 1t is not uncommon
for the mails to become congested, es-
pecially at central points, during the
holiday season. with consequent vex-
atious delays. This can be avoided
by sending packages in time to
reach their destination before
Christmas. If desired. they can
bear printed slip bearing the
words, do not open until Christ
mas This Injunction should
in no case be written on the package
unless it contains first class matter on
which the postage for that rate has
been paid. A printed slip. however.
will not affect the rate Of postage.
In the second place, the lessening of
the strain on the postal employees is
worthy of consideration This
strain Is greater than anyone out
side the postal service has any concep-
ton Of. and argues powerfully in favor
of early mailing. Every year the vol
unle Of Christmas mail becomes Iarg-
er and the disposition of it through
the regular channels more onerous and
difficult Mistakes are bound TO oc
cur when the work of dispatching and
receiving mail is carried on with IN
precedented haste, and it is an every
day occurrence about Christmas time
for more mail to be received than can
be delivered promptly This state OF
affairs cannot be wholly remedied, per
haps, but much can be done by shop
ping early and getting many OF the
| packages on their way before the
worst of the rush is on.
