HANDLING CHRISTMAS MAIL.
Post Office Has Adopted New Regu-
Iations Which Will Help.

Apropos the approaching holidays,
when much registered mail will be
handled, Topeka postofflce employees
are anxious to get the new rules in
practice and are studying Industrious

new rules. These have been issued
by the postoffice department during
the past few weeks.

each individual piece being receipted
for by the different clerks through
whose hands it passes. The second,
third and fourth class mail, however,
will be handled differently
Any number of these parcels may
be placed in a lead seal jacket which
will contain one tag and will be re-
ceipted for as one tag. For instance,
| if there are 20 parcels of this class to
be sent to New York, all of them can
be placed into one jacket or sack and
lead sealed
There will be a tag to show what is
contained in the lead sealed, number
ed Jacket, but instead of receipting
for the individual piece of mail, as
heretofore, the entire jacket will be
receipted for as it will not be modest
ed by any one until it reaches its des-
tination. This does away with much
| clerical work and facilitates delivery.
While this method has already been
| practiced, it did not go into effect
regularly until yesterday. By Deem
Der 1 all postoffices will be supplied
with rotary locks for registered mail
pouches which register differently
each time that the lock is turned
Time has been set by the postoffice
department for the temporary Christ
mas holiday exchanges and dispatches
of registered mail for December 1921.

Estimated Growth of Gotham Population

NJ .EW YORK.-Interesting details Of
~ estimated growth of population in

issued by the Hudson Realty Company
OF the compilation by Joseph Caccav-
ajo, consulting engineer, in connec-
ton with his plan for system of rap
i'd transit lines recently submitted to
the public-service commission Prob
ably the most interesting fact is that
Manhattan island is expected to reach
its greatest population between 1920
and 1880, and that after that time, it
Will continue to lose until, in 1910,
1t will be the fourth borough in point
OF residents, exceeding only the pop.
ulation of Richmond. -
Figures are presented for the period
1870 to 1900 from the United States
census reports. Mr.. Caccavajo has
carried his estimates to 1850, basing
them on the accurate figures furnished
by the government. Thus he esti.
mates that in 1910 the population of
the entire city will be 4,S10,000. This
increases by decades to 100000 in
1920, to 9,S00,000 in 1880, to 1890, 200
In 1910 and to the enormous popula.
ton Of 19,260,000 in 1850. In this lat
ter year he estimates that Manhattan
will have total population of 2,000,-
900, Brooklyn of 100000, Bronx OF
1000, 900, Queens of 100000 and
Richmond of 250,000.

Museum Gets Relics of Famous Indians

THE silver pipe which Maj. Gen. VIII
/ liam Henry Harrison presented to
the Delaware Indians in 1914 and a
silver tomahawk inscribed with a new
moon and seven stars and the rising
sun with eyes in it," are among val.
liable historical relics which Richard
G. Adams, Washington, a leader of the
Delawares, has deposited with the ma
tional museum. The relics are subject
to return to Adams or his heirs on de-
mand.
The tomahawk bears engravings OF
a rife crossed with q tomahawk and
powder horn and string bow crossed
with an arrow. The moon and the sun
are on opposite sides of the toma.
hawk.
The relics include q war club with
silver plate, which Capt. Swannock,
Delaware war CHIEF, carried through
the Florida war, and Capt. Secondine,
another Delaware war chief, carried
on his two journeys with Fremont
across the Rocky mountains, and also
in the Mexican war. The war club
was also carried through the civil
war, always in behalf of the United
States, and was presented by the Della

All Of these estimates are based, of
course, on rapid-transit betterment,
and according to the compiler's own
words: The only thing that can seri-
ously retard the growth and prosperi-
ty of New York city will be the failure
to provide proper transit facilities"
According to the estimate, Manhat-
tan will never have population of
more than 100000. In stating this
population of Manhattan will decrease
is beyond dispute. Within a very few
years there will be practically no resi-
dental population south of Fifty-ninth
street, leaving less than 5000 acres to
house the residents of the borough, or
an average of more than 500 persons
to the acre.
The rapid progress uptown of b;;::si-
ness buildings points to an early AID
much to be desired solution of the
city's great social problem, the con-
gested East side tenement districts;
as within decade property south of
Fourteenth street, and probably south
of Thirty-fourth street, will have be-
come too valuable for use for residen-
tial or tenement house purposes"
Mr.. Caccavajo evidently expects
Brooklyn and Queens to profit largely
from Manhattan's loss, for there he
places the greatest number of resi-
dents in 1910. The Bronx, according to
his figures, will have the largest popu.
lation per acre, while Staten island
with its great area is expected to have
only quarter of million residents.
In his summary Mr.. Caccavajo
shows that there are still available in
the entire city $4,000 acres of land,
not including parks, cemeteries and
SWQmn lands

Vanderbilt Gift for Model Tenement

FOLLOWING up five years Of active
i interest in the work of the tuber-
cu1osis clinic Of the Presbyterian hos
pital, Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt is to de-
vote 100000 to the erection Of four
model tenement houses in East Seven
ty-seventh and Seventy-eighth streets,
New York, where tuberculosis patients
and their families will be able to live
under conditions similar to those pro-
vided at the most up-to-date sanatoria.
While no definite decision on the rents
to be charged has yet been reached,
Dir. Henry L. Shively, head Of the
clinic which has led to Mrs. Wander
bits action, said they would compare
favorably with those charged in the
poorest and cheapest East side tene-
ments.
The tenements will consist of four
units, will be able to house from 375
to 400 families, and will occupy 1S
full city lots. Each tenement will sur
round central court, and between
the backs of two units will run mar
row passageway or alley. At each OF
the corners of each court will be q
stairway, entirely in the open air. CIV
ing access to the apartments on that
side of the house. Thus the COM
moi, dirty and dark stair or hallway
of the present tenement house, in
