PACK YOUR CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS IMMEDIATELY
FOR THE MEN IN FRANCE

Editor Star: VIII you kindly give
the widest publicity to the necessity
of early mailing of packages intend
ed to reach our troops in France by
Christmas and the fact that such
packages must not exceed seven
pounds in weight.
The department advices me that
unless packages intended as Christ
mas presents for the troops in France
are deposited in the postofice on or
before November 18th, it will not be
possible for them to reach destina-
ton by Christmas.
The department further advises
that on account of the postal regu-
lations in France, packages weighing
more than seven pounds can not be
forwarded by mail.
If you viii give these facts wide
publicity it will doubtless be appre-
ciated by your many patrons.

AN AUDIT OF THE
CITY's ACCOUNTS

For some time we have been hear
ing occasional remarks to the effect
that the books of the city government
should be audited, coupled with dark
hints that dreadful things would be
discovered if they were.
So we asked member of the coun-
ell about it this morning, and he re-
piled that it had been the intention of
the council to have said books audited
for some months. They are to be
audited before the new charter goes
in effect ,and of course it is best to
put the operation off to as near that
time as possible, so when the new
officials go in they may be that much
surer of their ground.
In the meantime the suspicious
ones need not be afraid that any
guilty man will escape. It is impos-
sible for any of our aldermen to go
to Germany, and that will be the only
safe place for them if they have en-
bezzled.
Auditing the city's books is a
rather expensive business. 1t costs
six or seven hundred dollars at least,
and on one occasion it cost some hun
dreds over a thousand.
Henry Sistrunk and Miss Helen
Scott have been in charge of the
city's accounts for some years. It's
a safe bet they can tell as much about
the accounts as any expert account
ant and they viii do so if any tax
payer asks them. It has been little
over two years since the books were
audited. We don't think the council
could possibly have stolen more than
half a million in that time.

SUGGESTIONS
For Christmas Packets for Soldiers
and Sailors

For Christmas Packets for Soldiers
and Sailors
Nothing should go in them that will
not keep fresh from theetime of pack
ing until Christmas.
Dried fruits and other food prod
ucts should be packed in small tin or
wooden boxes, one-quarter to one-half
pound size.
Hard candy, including chocolate,
would be safe, probably, in foil or
heavy cardboard, but no soft choco>
lates nor anything that could possibly
be crushed should be used, as the re-
naming contents of the package
might be spoiled thereby.
Several dainties packed in oblong
tin boxes holding each quarter of
a pound, will provide a better variety
for packet than larger quantity
of a single confection.
No liquids nor articles packed in
glass should be placed in the pack
age.
For wrapping the gifts use q
khaki-colored handkerchief, twenty
seven inches square and form the base
of the packet by placing on the center
of the handkerchief a pad of writing
paper about seven by ten inches.
Select variety of articles from the
suggestions in list (or according to
individual wishes) to an amount not
exceeding S1.50 and arrange them on
the pad of paper so that the entire
package shall be the width of the pad
and approximately five or six inches
nigh.
Wrap and tie with one-inch RED
ribbon and place a Christmas card
under the bow of ribbon. A card bear
ing the greetings of the chapter
would be desirable.
Wrap the parcel again in heavy,
light brown MANILA paper, tie Sc
curely with red, green or gilt cord,
and use Christmas labels or Ameri-
can flags as desired

Christmas Packets
