APRIL SONG.


oh, it's hey, for the hoidenish
April,
With crocuses rife in her hair,
And the clustering green on the
meadows,
And the tang of the raucous air.
Oh, the April's flush is symbol
Of the last of the buried kings,
OF the red primordial passions
That racked the beginning OF
things.
The winds and the hills and forests
Are the palpitant afternote
OF the lips and the laughter of
Lilith,
And the sensual throbs of her
throat.
For Nature and all of her children
Are athirst with an ancient de-
sire;
Their brains are mad with its
music,
And their blood is afiame with it's
fire.
So it's hey. for the crimson sun
setsi
And it's no, for the dawn's red
break!
For half of the world is harlot,
And half the worlds a rake.
Willard Huntington Wright in
April Smart Set.

ADVICE
ON PARCEL POST
ON HANDLING
PACKAGES GIVEN OUT BY
DEPARTMENT.

All Is not running as smoothly with
the new parcel post system as the
postoffice department would wish. and
Second Assistant Postmaster-Genera
Stewart has issued special instruc-
lions to postmasters and others upon
the subject. He says in most in
stances the Investigation of complaints
that the contents of parcels have
been damaged in the mails is found
to be due. first. to the failure of the
senders to properly wrap them for
safe transmission, and. second. to the
failure of postmasters. or their en-
ployes. to see that the parcel post
regulations are complied with.
stove castings. pillow points, pieces
of machinery and the like the cir
cular received by Acting Postmaster
states, should be wrapped
to prevent damage to the mail and
the equipment, and clothing, shoes,
dry goods. etc. should be so put up
that they will reach destination in
unbroken packages.
Parcels containing fragile articles
must be securely packed and marked
fragile eggs glass or as the case
may be, but parcels which are not
fragile, even though the boxes in
which they are inclosed may be. must
not be so marked"
Postmasters. railway postal clerks,
mail messengers and other postal en-
ployes are cautioned to handle the
mail carefully and not to throw it
from cars, wagons or trucks on plat
forms floors or on the ground Those
who disregard these instructions are
to be reported ito the department for
discipline.
