P. 0. MEN PLAN FOR
CHRISTMAS RUSH
Parcel Post COmpliCateS Work
This Year-HoW Much Use
Will Public Make of It-Do
Your Mailing Early.

The fact that this will be the first
holiday season in which the parcel
post system will be utilized has COM
plicated the problem confronting the
postal officials in facilitating the
movement OF mails during the rush
The officials are wholly at sea regard
ing the extent TO which the public
may avail itself OF its privileges but
owing to the lower rate of postage
and the larger packages which may
be sent, IL is expected the volume will
be enormously increased.
Mail your Christmas packages
early" has come to be the slogan of
Postmaster Crabill, who in coopera-
ton with the department at Washing
ton is planning to handle the increased
mail with the best possible service.
Placards urging this slogan on the
public and containing the information
that the words Not to be opened until
Christmas may be placed on the
packages, are to be placed in public
places and down town stores where
the campaign will be waged in connec-
tion with the early shopping plan.
The plan of mailing packages late
in the hope that they may reach their
destination on Christmas day Is very
likely to defeat its own purpose Post
master Crabill pointed out Monday.
This is likely through unavoidable de-
lay through congestion of the mails
with late packages.
Since there is no precedent on which
to base an estimate of the amount of
mail the postal department is making
special effort TO obtain the cOopera-
ton of the public.

WOMAN WILL SOON
Be AT CENTURY MARK
Mrs. Mary Hutchins Celebrates 9th
Birthday-Has Lived in South
Bend Since GirIhOod.

Only three more years and Mrs.
Mary Hutchins, $50 E Sample St.
will have seen the passage of a cen
tury.
Mrs Hutchins was 81 years old
Monday and all day has been re-
ceiving friends who nave called to
congratulate her. She has had an
interesting life as well as a long one
and has a remarkable memory that
recalls events and incidents almost a
century past.
Mrs. Hutchins came 20 South Bend
when she was but 10 years old and
has lived here since. She was born
in New York, but her father came
west to take up government land
when she was very small, settling in
Louisville, KY. and later coming to
Indiana. When she was a young
woman Mrs. Hutchins and her older
sister, Mrs. 7. p. Bulla, who died a
number of years ago, attended the
first boarding school in this part of
the country. 1t was located at New
Harmony, Ind. but long ago passed
out of existence and almost out of
memory. Mrs. Hutchins is probably
the only living student.
The children OF Mrs. Hutchins who
are living are Mrs. Frank Harring-
ton, 107 Stull ST; Mrs. Alexander
Peak, $50 E. Sample St; Isaac Hut
chins. also living at home. and Mrs.
Martha Davis of Carroll st.

VILLA CONFIDENT.

JUAREZ, Mex, Dec. l. Gen.
Francisco Villa, the constitutionalist
leader, said Sunday that northern
Mexico, embracing the states Of Son
ora, Chihuahua, Coanuila, Neuvo Leon
and Tamaulipas, and including the
territory from the border to line 300
miles southwark, will be wholly under
the authority Of the rebel forces with
in two weeks. The forces which are
fighting Huerta will then join at Gau-
dalajara with a view OF marching
onto Mexico City.
This campaign, he said, contemplat-
ed not only the capture of Chihuahua
City, but also the spreading Of the
constitutionalIst authority further to
the south.
He is to be joined in the interior
later by Gen. Carranza, the head Of the
revolutionary movement.
So far as the north Is concerned,
Villa said, the campaign is between
14,500 fedora! troops mostly in gar
risons. and 20.30O rebels or constl-
tutionalists in garrisons and roaming
the country.
In preparation for the attack on
Chihuahua City, $500 troops with 16
machine guns and equipment, which
filed three trains. had left Juarez up
to Sunday. and had reached a point
go miles south. Villa expects to join
his men within few days. and If pos
sible to keep open a train and a
telegraph service behind him. He said
he would be in Chihuahua City within
10 days.
I'VE will move right onto Mexico
City," Villa said. THAT is our destin-
alton"
