Uncle Sans New Service
Saves Cupid From Real
Knockout.

Romance asserts Postmaster ii. L.
Mckee is not down and out. Sent stag
gering against the ropes by an unsent-
mental generation, bleeding and buff
feted and all but done for, here on the
eve Of ST Valentines day it revived
before the count Of ten, and came back
TO claim the world as it's own
The elixir that put new life in the
gentle art of loyemaking was the par
Gel post.
A cold and blase world, the post
master explained today, had begun to
frown on fligree hearts and cupids and
the deliCately tinted and printed verses
Of love that are known as valentines,
and the custom of sending these con-
ventional tokens of affection had fallen
into decline. II was noticeable in the
1essening of the number of sentimental
missives going through the mali on
February IA. All of which, IL must be
confessed. was rather acceptable to the
mail clerks.
Whether the world was getting too
busy to think Of love. or whether the
printed valentines were too much cut
and dried to express the modern lovers
sentiment, I don't know" the postmas-
ter said
Avalanche of Parcels.
Probably the latter Because today
and Yesterday the Atlanta postofFice
workers have recorded the receipt of
an avalanche of parcel post packages
b,Nr
cred an atmosphere which murmured
az plainly as words:
This is for my Love"
Every package contained candy or
flowers.
Uncle Sans parcel post has over
thrown a custom that has prevailed
1900 yeers-ever since the year 271
when good old Saint Valentine. the
bishop OF Rome when Aurelian was en-
peror. first advocated the practice Of
sending love missives, for which he
has been known as the titular saint of
love and marriage More substantial
tokens have superseded his printed
knick-knacks. With the parcel post.
Cupid has come into his own.
ITS the best thing for romance that
could have happened" said the post
master
Once Dread Of Clerks.
Time was, he went on to say. when
February IA was the dreaded nightmare
of the postofIice workers. Men remem-
bered their enemies. as well as their
friends, and found way. by means of
! low-br0wed comics to gain revenge
And as for the sentimental valentines
well, everybody was doing that. wheth-
er he meant 1t or not. II was a matter
OF form and convention. and the mall
| clerks sweated.
| THAT DAY has passed now" he de
| clared And it is the best thing for
the purity of the sentiment attached to
! St Valentines day that il has. Now
! it will be the day for true lovers be-
cause ooN of candy and bunch of
flowers are not trifles to be sent as a
matter Of form"
Mr.. Mckee suggested a tip for the
i indecisive maiden If she wants to
make sure that her suitors intentions
are serious, let her see how they re
membered her on ST. Valentines day.
Old Time Ones Still Used.
There stil is considerable number
Of the cards and fancy tribes sent. The
mail "a> -weLled to- great extent to-
day Auo yesterday
