Postal Suggestions About Handling
Christmas Mail.

Circulars distributed by postmasterS
throughout the country on last Thurs
aay. urged the public to cooperate with
the Postal Department in handling the
Christmas mail. Some of the informa
ton runs:
Prepay postage fully; make the ad.
dresses plain enough to be read; place
the name and address of the sender or
the outside of all packages; pack every
thing carefully; insure valuable par
cells, and first and foremost, mail early
if the senders want the package to be
really and truly Christmas presents,
Each one of them can carry in big let
tiers on the outside the warning, Do
not open until Christmas.

Governor Studies Road.

Governor Harrington, with Frank H.
Zouck, chairman, and John F. George,
assistant chairman, of the State Roads
Commission, took an automobile trip
over the proposed route of the Annapo-
lis-W ashington National Defense High
way last Friday.
The journey was one of inspection
and the Governor expressed pleasure
not only at the practicability of the
route as a defense measure but also at
it's possibilities for development of the
remoter sections of Anne Arundel and
Prince Georges counties.
According to J. N. Mackall, Engineer
of Surveys, the road, which will be
built of concrete. will cost something
in the neighborhood of $4,000 This
is exclusive of the necessary purchases
of right of ways. The estimate of
costs for the average mile is $40, 900.
The road will be about 80 miles long, Is
miles of which will be in Anne Arundel
and Is in Prince Georges. 1t is ex-
pected that building the road will be
comparatively more expensive in Anne
Arundel than in Prince Georges, as
Anne Arundel is honeycombed with hills,
which will require much grading. Not
more than 104 miles of actual construc-
Arundel, as there is already Govern
ment road from Annapolis to Camp Pa
role. a distance of about Al miles.
Rights of way will have to be secured
in many places, particularly in Anne
| Arundel, because to follow the old stage
coach road, which has many curves aud
grades, would be more costly than to
obtain new rights of way. 1t is pre-
sumed that exhorbitant prices will not
be asked, for highway of this kind
would be of great advantage to the
farmers. There are thousands of acres
of arabic land which are now going
practically undeveloped owing, it il
said. to the lack of transpo. tation fac
ilIties.
The lack of railroad facilities is one
Of the reasons why the highway viii
prove an expensive proposition. There
is no railroad which touches the propos
ed highway in Anne Arundel, Materia
J will have to be hauled from Camp Pa
role to points of distribution. Prince
Georges is better off. There are tire
Ines-the Rogers Creek branch Of tn
Pennsylvania Railroad, at Collington
the main line of the Pennsylvania a
. Lan1am and the Baltimore and Ohio, a
yattsvile-which can transport ma
teriais.
Sand and gravel abound in both coun
ties and materials for building are ex
pected to be got cheaply. 1t is not i'm
probable ,hat some of the owners of tn
sand and gravel pits may m axe presen
of a portion of their holdings to tn
builders. -.

there is fond of keeping tab on them.

BETTY BROWN TELLS ABOUT
STYLES
Be prepared to be well cUffed by
Lady Fashion this fall! Cuffs on
your shoes, on your gloves, a cuff
like brim on your tuTban and a band
of fur on your skirt that looks like a
cuff! But the cunningest cuffs are
the turn-overs on the new street
gloves. A gray OF light coIored
glove has an inch-deep -turn-back
cuff of dark brown.
Gay colors will glorify our clothes
for the next six months. Paris is
wearing subdued cOlors, but Paris
designers are sending us models in
the gaudiest colors. Vivid green for
evening wear, mahogany and the
various wine shades for street
frocks, black tints and saffron color
for top coats.
Shoes that lace way up almost to
the knee and in chocolate brown,
dark gray, lemon tints are good
style Spats button very high and
the smaTtest are strapped at the top
with a cloth strap fastened with a
gold buckle.
The Russian blouse of velvet in
burgundy, green or taupe is charm
ing for afternoon. In exclusive shops
these velvet blOuses trimmed with
fur have the spotlight.
So many long coats viii be worn
this winter we may count on the
vogue Of the VERY short skirt. The
long skirt robs the long coat of
smartness.

that il a driver Of a a sees anyone
in front Of his car he does not have
to wait until the fender hits him but
may drop the fender from his position
in the front seat. 1t can also be raised
from the seat without getting out OF
the car
When the fender has accomplished
what 1t was invented for, to save hui
man lives, it also has another good
point for car owners When a a
runs into another a or object 1t
keeps the main part Of the car from
striking the object and in this way
the tenders are not badly bent or the
headlight or radiator smashed every
time a car has a mishap and strikes
another. car, wagon or solid object.
This fact alone would make it a val
liable asset to any car.
The last point in favor Of the fender
is that it does not mar the looks of a
car, but to the contrary it adds to the
appearance of'any automobile.

Chief Brooks witnessed a demon
stration Of the fender Saturday after
moor and when the different ways 1t
would protect human life was shown
to him, he said that every city in the
United States should pass ordinances
forcing all automobile owners to have
one of the tenders on their cars.
With a Save-A-Life fender on an
automobile it is absolutely impossible
to run over a person with the car.
Even the smallest child that may, not
knowing the danger, run in front Of a
passing car is protected as we'll as
the grown up. 1t is also impossible
to run over a dog or any other kind OF
an animal. When the fender strikes
an object it Immediately drops down
to within four inches Of the pavement
or road and stays in that position,
pushing any object that it may strike
along in front Of the car until the
car is stopped.

MEN To MEET
AN EARLY DAY
Manufacturers VIII Gather
Early in February, Very
Likely in Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 29.-The Glass
worker says:
A meeting Of window glass manu-
facturers will be held early in Feb
ruary, probably in Pittsburg.
While no announcement has been
made relative to any special matter to
come up at that time, and while 1t Is
entirely likely that the meeting will
be largely occupied with hearing re-
ports Of factory and market condi-
tons, 1t is entirely probable hODKt
tons, it is entirely possible that fol-
lowing the meeting some manufac-
turers may feel justified in again adj
yancing prices, owing to the Increased
cost Of production in the matter OF
chemicals and all commodities enter
ing into the manufacture Of glass.
The almost unparalleled open winter,
which with the exception Of the recent
few days Of zero weather, has enabled
construction work In all parts of the
country to go on about as well as in
midsummer, has helped to keep up
the demand for window glass, and job
bers report sales Of the most %encour-
aging character.
The foreign demand IS also sus-
tanned, and transportation facilities
have shown indications Of somewhat
improving lately

 The same kind of aerial bombs now being used in the European war to liglit up the enemy's territory and show tho air scouts the position of the foe, are being used at the fireworks display This is the most brilliant lighting effect pro- duced, while there are hundreds of other varieties of aerial bombs, rockets and other devices used.

SERIOUS FIRE AT .BESSEMER FOUNDRY Roof of Pipe Shop Totally Destroyed and Building
 Damaged
GRAND JURY REPORT
Three DeacOns Will Be Ordained at Morning Service of the Baptist Church-Other Church
 Services
By ETHEL GILLIAN

Bessemer October 7.-(Special) The entire roof of the pipe shop of the local plant of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company was destroyed by fire this afternoon about 1:30 o'clock and the damage is estimated at about S50,0O0. How the fire originated is not known, but it is thought that in raising the pipe the roof became ignited and on ac- count of it's dryness and the wind the fire spread rapidly and within short time the entire roofa was ablaze. The plant is out of the city limits and all though the city fire department was called and went to aid they could only get so pounds water pressure, which did little toward extinguishing the fire, although they worked un- tiringly with the pump. The fire was one of the largest occurring in this city in the past two years and will necessitate the closing down of the pipe department of the company un- til repairs can be made.
 Within the past years large num- Der of improvements have been made by the company, making the local plant one of the most modern and best equipped of it's kind in the south, and the closing down of the pipe depart ment will throw large number of men out of work.

NEW ATTACHMENT
 FOR TYPEWRITER
By CLARENCE G. THOMPSON

William L. White, testing laboratory engineer of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, and James L. Began, chief clerk of the laboratory have recently sold an underscoring pat ent to a typewriter. The patent, it is understood, is applicable to any make of typewriter and the space line may be made across the page with only half the strokes as is used without the patent attachment.
 This underscoring key is twice the length of that in the present make Of typewriters therefore it is possible to write a, line twice as long at each stroke, and of course just one-half the number of strokes are necessary. The spacing of the carriage twice the dis tance while using this key is made possible by placing an extra escape ment wheel just behind the present wheel with only half the mum Der of teeth as the wheel now in use. This escapement wheel will be thrown in gear by means of a shift lock, similar to the. shift key now on the type writer.N
 The advantages are the saving Of al | least one half the time in underscor- | ing or when writing headings, with a | space between the letters. The line will have just half the number of | breaks, therefore a much heater line | White has several other patents pend- | ing, expecting to be issued at an early
 date.
