CHRISTMAS MAIL
HERE TREMENDOUS
Estimated, That Amount of
Last Season Is More
Than Doubled.
PARCEL POST POPULAR

The Washington city post Office was
at noon today practically clear of the
great Christmas rush.
The volume of mail handled in
Washin gton during the past week.
especially during the past four days.
was tremendous and the office accom-
plished something of a feat by the
smooth and rapid manner in which
it all was completed
Although the Office had not at noon
today completed figures to show def
nitely just how much matter it han
died during the rush 1t is estimated
that a record was establish ed, a rec
ord to be proud of. 1t is predicted
that last seasons volume was more
than doubled
Two Outstanding Features.
Two outstanding features of the
Christmas mail were the enormous
amount of parcel post packages re-
ceived and distributed and the ex-
tenSive use of the air mail service
Many thousands of Yuletide greetings
were sent to and from Washington
by means of this novel acquisition of
the post office The postage rate was
only twice that of the ordinary de-
iVery ana much interest and value
was added to the greeting because of
the air transportation
1t is estimated that more than $780,
Geo parcel post membranes were
delivered within the past ten days to
persons living in the District. This
was practically double the volume of
parcel post business handled here
last year
Yesterday unexpectedly proved to
be one of the heaviest" days of the
rush. Officials expected that the mail
had reached the high-water mark in
volume on Monday, but their calcula-
tons. based on past experiences, went
wrong. and throughout yesterday the
great avalanche continued. Since last
averaged more than 1880 pieces a
day During this same period last
year the average was 1900 daily
Great Increase in Cards.
The custom of exchanging Christ
mas greetings by means of cards
continues to grow in popularity, ac-
cording to officers of the post Office,
who say there was a great increase
in the number of cards handled this
year compared with last year.
Postmaster Chance and his as
sistants are proud of the manner in
which the local force so efficiently
handled the record-breaking holiday
mail. When the noon hour arrived
today only two wagonloads of
Christmas mail remained undelivered
and this was disposed of shortly
afterward.
