POST PARCELS BADLY PACKED

The Postoliice Department states
that a large number OF damaged par
Gel post packages originating in the
United States continue to be received
in foreign countries, and that this
condition is due in large measure to
the flimsy quality and insufficient
quantity OF material used for packing
the parcels. due, no doubt to a desire
to save weight. and thereby postage.
In many cases the cardboard or thin
wooden boxes arrive broken with the
contents damaged or scattered in the
sacks, so that frequently it is impos-
sible to ascertain to which OF the par
cells said contents belong.
The packing OF parcels undergoing
long sea transit must be stronger
than that OF parcels for domestic de-
livery. The postmaster, therefore. re-
quests that these articles be packed
in such a manner as to assure safe
transmission to destination.

Pax found that nothing was bet but

extreme disgust.

We also saw the rifle,grenades

While the men were lying on the
crest of the gulch and there was a

themselves by, tossing stones at an

Next Came the Moppers-up
Behind the attacking infantry came
the "moppers-up." It seems that the
Huns have a thoughtful habit of
sticking around in all sorts of little
holes in the shattered trench-lines,
possibly with a machine.gun, and
when the Allies have gone on a bit,
these Huns left in the rear begin to
get busy, sniping and pot-shotting the
Allies. Hence the Allies in retalia-
ton have gang of men who are
expert at mopping-up the ground over
which the infantry has passed. Any
German who isn't mopped up by this
gang couldn't be mopped up on blot
ting-paper.
During the advance and attack we
saw various signals, including bombs
shot into the air which explode a
hundred feet or so up in the blue,

OAKLAND NOTES

About 10 women registered and signed
the Hoover pledge cards yesterday at the
Oakland Presbyterian church. Considering
the number of women in Oakland who are
of voting age, about 800 this is a very
small proportion. A number of cards have
been sent to shut-ins who although unable
to help materially wish to show that they
have the right spirit and are supporting it
far as they are able. About the only
line left blank on the registration cards
when the average woman had made her
registration was the line which asked her
to state her age That question it seems
shouldn't have been asked, for many left
it blank and others wrote "over 81"
Mrs. Mary Lesson and son, Mr.. Nathan
Lesson, have come to Topeka, where they

BATTERY'S PARTY SUCCESS
Two Hundred Couples Present at
Farewell Entertainment.

Nearly 200 couples attended the
farewell party of Battery A given
Wednesday night in Trefry hall. The
celebration was the most successful
program ever staged by the artillery
men. Amid waving banners military
decorations and martial music, the
soldiers and their many friends staged
a true farewell party.
The second floor of the building
was draped with American flags and
banners of the allies and hundreds of
small artillery insignia. The floor was
highly polished for dancing. Music
was furnished by DR.. C. E. Morrison's
military band.
The first floor was as eayly decor
ated as the dancing room The large
room on the first floor was used as a
reception hall for the party. Drills by
the battery, solos and novelty dances
helped to make the celebration a sue
cess. The feature of the program was
the farewell dance, '.Glow Little Glow
Worm" in which each girl on the
floor carried small paper lanterns.
The lights were turned low and it was
truly little glow worm"
Members of the Military Sisterhood
served punch and waters. Small gui-
dons were furnished by women of the
D. A. r. The money taken in for the
dance will be divided between the
headquarters company and Battery A
mess funds.
