IN THE DAYS NEWS

Ex-King Manuel H., in whose inter-
est strong menarchist movement is
reported to have developed in Portu-
gal, will quietly celebrate his Both
birthday today on the estate in Eng
land where he has resided since he
lost his throne. So far as the public
is aware he has expressed no desire
to change his present lot, when is that
of an English country gentleman and
chicken farmer, for the strenuous and
uncertain life of king. Manuel was
born the day his relative, Dom Pedro
H., was deposed from the throne of
Brazil. His own succession to the
throne of Portugal was the result of
the assassination of his father and
elder brother. The revolution in 1910
put an end to the monarchy, and Man.
uel escaped to England. He belongs
to the house of Braganza, which dates
from the end of the fourteenth CEN
fury. His mother, Queen Maria ANA
liza, who also resides in England, was
an Orleans princess, daughter of the
Count of Paris.

CLERKS DISCOURTESY

Tries to Prevent Serving of Soda
to Men Unable to Enter Con-
fectionery Store.

wounded officers from Walter Reed
Hospital were treated "shamefuiiy
and in an "unpatriotic manner" last
Saturday by an empioye of confec-
tionery store on F. street, according to
the chauffeur of a prominent Wash
ington business man, who has loaned
his automobile to take wounded SOL
! diers out for a spin nearly every
afternoon for the past four months.
Last Saturday, according to the
chauffeur, there were in the car six
wounded officers. two of whom had
lost both their legs in action in
France The car was stopped in
front of the confectionery store on
F. street and soda water was or
dered for the men. The clerk served
the men who could get into the store
with the aid of crutches, but refused
to serve the two who could not get
out of the car.
The chauffeur tells the story thus:
81 asked thesclerk to let me take the
glasses of soda out to the two men In
the car" he said. This he refused to
! do. Laying ter1-dollar bill on the
counter for security l again asked
him to let me take them out to the
men. He again refused, so / asked
him to take them out himself. He re-
fused. so I took the bill from the
counter and brought the glasses to
the men myself. The clerk followed
me to the car and demonstrated with
me. saying that it was against the
rules of the store to take glassware
out. l explained that~the men could
not get out of the car without assist
ance. and that his employer would
not hold it against him if he brought
the glasses out to the men. But he
refused to do anything and gave the
implication that these man had not
done anything out of the ordinary in

New Express Packing
Rules Go Into Effect
OnNext Wednesday

The new express packing rules go
into effect December 10. according to
a statement: made by@W. S. Warner,
in charge of the local express offices.
Under the regulations now in force
all express shipments over Is pounds
must be forwarded in wooden con-
tainers or cartons bearing the box
makers certificate as 10 strength
and size required by the express
company.
No change is contemplated in the
shipments under the 25-pound limit,
which will still be accepted wrapped
in paper. Mr.. Warner advised
Christmas shippers not only to send
their holiday packages carly, but to
see that they were properly packed
and accurately addressed.
I'VE expect a very heavy move
ment of Christmas gifts by express
this yeax," said Mr.. Warner today,
and this at TIME when we are ham
ding greater amount of traffic
than at any period in the history of
the railroads. 1t will be we'll for
Christmas shippers to keep in mind
the 25-pound limitation for paper
wrapped packages. Most holiday
presents, we believe, are under that
weight and are therefore not af-
fected by the new rules.
But any shipment over IS pounds
must be forwarded in special con-.
tanners and we will be very glad to
give anyone interested full informa-
ton as to how they should prepare
their Christmas presents for ship
n1ent by express"
