AUTOMOBILE COLLIDED.
Frank CrandaIPs Truck sRun Into by William Smiddy's Car in MontvIle.

The automobile truck owned and driven by Frank Crandall and used in carrying passengers between Palmer town and Uncasville. was run into by William Smiddy in his automobile Christmas night about 6.30. The ac- cident happened in the curve in the road near the Walsh house in PeQuot. Crandall was going to Uncasville with several passengers and turned near ly to the fence when he saw the au- tOmobile coming. Being at a bad curve in the road and also blinded by the sudden glare of the headlights on the truck, MT. Smiddy misjudged the distance in passing and struck the truck nearly head on Both machines were considerably damaged and had to be left by the roadside until the next day, when repairs could be made. None of the passengers was hurt eX- cept for a severe shaking up and neither Mir. Crandau nor MT. Smiddy were injured. which was probably due to the fact that both machines were running at a slow speed.

PARCELS POST CHANGES
 IN EFFECT JAN. 1
Weight for First and Second Zones Increased from 20 to 50 Pounds Table of Rates.

Commencing Thursday, January 1, several important changes in the par eel post go into effect through the country. The principal change is in the weight limit, that for the first and second zones being increased from twenty to fifty pounds and that in the third, fourth. fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth zones being increased from II to 20 pounds. It is expected that the new rates will result in a large in crease in the parcel post business, as it will afford a cheap, expeditions and efficient means of transportation of parcels of merchandise, farm and fac tory products, and miscellaneous ar ticles. The manner in which the par eel post rush at Christmastide was commendation from all, even from those critics who expected to see the department flooded and unable to cope with the matter. This has been de- clared the best advertisement for the parcel post that it could have secured, and postmasters throughout the coun- try expect a material increase in the business
 While the weight limit has been changed there has been no change made in respect to size, packages of more than SeVenty-tWO inches in length anu SlILu COiuDluGu, not DelnB accept able for mailing. The rate of postage has been changed on parcels exceed ing four ounces in weight in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth zones as follows:
 Third Zone-Six cents for the first pound and ? cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof
 Fourth Zone-Seven cents for the first pound and 4 cents for each addi tional pound or fraction thereof.
 Fifth Zone-Eight cents for the first pound and cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof
 Sixth Zone-Nine cents for the first pound and 8 cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof
 The following tables of postage rates on fourth class mail, or parcel post mail, effective January 1. 1914 will be valuable for future reference.
 Parcels weighing four ounces or less are maiIable at the rate of 1 cent for each ounce or fraction thereof, regard less of distance. Parcels weighing more than four ounces will be mailable at the following pound rates, q frac- tion of pound being considered a full pound:

CELEBRATED FEAST OF CHANNUKAHI
Pleasant Time Provided Children by Sons of Zon-Signh- canoe of Event Explained by Herman Alofsn, 2d-Re- marks by Rabbi Max Stamm Charles Levine and Charles M Cordon-Gifts For Little Ones

ferent join in celebrating with our neighbors So sometimes we hear Channukah spoken of as the Jewish Christmas and it sometimes happens that Jewish parents neglect Channu- kah and give their children Christmas presents, Those who do that show lack of knowledge. besides lack of loy- alty. for the two holidays have nothing in common. Christmas celebrates the birth of a Jew through whom men have declared we must believe in order that mankind shall have salvation. Channukah, on the contrary, with its wonderful candle lights, sings the praises not of one man. nor yet of any one people, but of God. the Creator of all. the Father and Saviour of all hu- man kind
