CHRISTMAS PLANS
DISQUALIFICATION
Busy Time at the Post Office,
Markets, Stores and Ex-
press Offices.
PARCEL POST SERVICE
AN AID TO GIFT-GIVING
Packages and Boxes Being Dispatch
ed by WashingtSnians to Friends
in Distant Sections.

A visit of inspection today to the
| markets, the stores, the post Office anG
| it's branches. and the express offices
and their branches developed the fact
| that Washington probably is more
deeply absorbed in preparing for the
coming Christmas festival than in any
other subject. Other business seems
forgotten, or, if it is transacted at all.
only that which seems to be necessary
is coming in for attention.
The great clearing houses of the city,
such as the markets. stores, mail and
express offices. where the pulse OF
Christmas preparation can most read
lily be felt, show that they are all go
ing full tilt with no delay IN del'V-
cries, plentiful supplies and low prices.
An instance of the latter is found In the
fact that nearby Maryland and Virginia
turkeys plump. pink and yell
low birdS--killed within a day or two, are
readily obtarlable at 25 cents d pound
and less.
Tables Heavily Laden.
The great temporary tables for the par
eel post service at the post office, erected
in the corridor. are being loaded and as
rapidly emptied, with Christmas gifts for
the north, east, south and west. There
is not the slightest sign of congestion, and
the same condition is seen at the express
offices at I'd and streets northeast

Mr.. Dante was asked number OF
times as to his reasons for permitting
certain transactions to be completed
'if he believed Stilson Hutchins to be
of unsound mind At each repetition
of the question the witness replied that
at the time the transactions were made
he had not given serious thought to the
mental condition of Mr.. Hutchins.
AS was the case yesterday, counsel
for the caveatees introduced in eVi-
dence number of checks signed by
the late StilSon Hutchins during va
rlous periods when the mental condl-
tion of Mr.. Hutchins had been called In
question. Deeds executed by Mr.. Dante
as trustee and bearing the signatures
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hutc ins also were
placed in evidence as showing that at
the time the instruments were exc
cuted no question had arisen as to the
sanity # Mr.. Hutchins. Owing to the
length at which the croSS-examlnatlon
was being conducted it appeared today
that Mr. Dante will remain on the wit

New Features of
City School Work
(By MYRTEs PAINE.)

There has been a special effort in
the high school this year to make the
English as interesting and as profit
able as possible. Special attention
has been given to written work. The
first month of school the teachers
had each scholar write a compost
ton. and they we're allowed a choice
of subjects. These were handed to
superintendent Allen and put on file
in the office. Last week the Eng
lish teachers gave out list of seven
topics. and each pupil was allowed
to choose one and write a compost
ton. These topics covered the work
in fiction which the classes had just
finished. Professor Allen took these
and compared them to the previous
work done in the fall. and the COM
parison showed fine progress in all
lines of composition and rhetoric.
Mr.. Allen was immensely pleased to
see that the pupils had taken so
much interest in their English work,
and had given such good results.
The girls of the high school have
been enjoying the tennis every eve
ming after school. The courts are in
good condition now and Miss Will
helmy spends about two hours and
a half each Afternoon coaching the
beginners and giving advice to the
old players. The girls fully appre-
ciate the time and trouble expended
by Miss Wilhelmy and hope she gets
some enjoyment out of her work
there.
Coach Frank Du Cray has proved
himself very efficient coach" said
Professor Allen today. land helped
the high school boys to make great
progress in football last fall. They
were very successful In the county
track meet this spring and a good
deal of enthusiasm was displayed
during the inter-class meet in which
the seniors were the victors."
