Rabies are not n-a-i-l-a-b-i-e.
Progress and development by leaps
and bounds have marked recent de-
veiopment of the parcels post system; !;
its popularity has been likewise
marked and its scope has been made to
cover a wide variety of articles-and
some live things-biddies, for instance,
but not babies.
An actual experience yesterday at
the local postoffice is responsible for
this item the earnest intention OF
which is to emphasize the fact that
not yet has the postoffice department
provided facilities for assuming re-
sponsibility for babies-and certainly
no. along with the great rush of
Christmas NEIL.
When real live bapy was offered
for mailing to a point in Ohio. by a
keen -scheming mother who, in plan
ming a holiday visit TO. the distant
state hit upon this idea of getting by
the. almost impossible servant prob
lem it was too mucn 1or Postmaster
Hancock, who as is generally known
will go a long way to oblige patrons.
and he has asked the press to give
wide publicity to this restriction of the
parcels post system-let it be blamed
upon Mr.. Burleson or whoever it may.
The tender of the bapy was offered
over the telepho,e during the early
hours of the morning-and of course
the mother wanted it insured. She did
,, not think the s1o0 maximum was suf-
ficient to cover her child but she was
certain that in her case at least some
exception might be made and the
kid insured for larger amount
She was sure in her determination 20
get the youngster dispatched to her
intended destination In Ohio in the
! care and keeping OF some one of the
ever cautious employees of the de-
partment, that a recent ruling cover
ea such shipments AMI persuasive ar
gGments of Mr.. Hancock failed to con
vince her, for later in the day the tle-
ephone rang again and the voice was
| that of another lady VINO urged again
that the baby be accepted for mailing.
The one first calling had conversed
with her about the matter and she
was determined to help her friend in
her disappointment. She was more
determined in her conversation over
the telephone than the first. and fl
nally when the obligfng postma star
was compelled to inform her that ruI-
ing or no ruling on the matter of mail
ing babies, none would be accepted al
the local postoffice, at least not d,,r-
ing this Christmas mailing season the
pc tienee of 10th was visibly strained
and then 1t was that the postmaster
turned to the local press for relief.

Zalez
CALL SCHOOLS DISGRACE

Four minute speeches in advocacy of
O. sub-tax school district for Pensacola,
will be made tonight at the theatres
and moving picture houses, starting
the active publicity campaign, which
will be maintained from now until De-
cember 3d. when the voters will cast
their ballots either for or against am
pier educational facilities for Pensacola
Hunter Brown. chairman of the sub
tax district committee, said last night
THE committee intends to keep before
the people of this city its obligation
to the children of the community, until
the vote has been taken. The school
buildings of Pensacola and particularly
the high school, disgrace the city and
there should not be man in this city
to cast his vote against the movement
for subj school district"
There are a number of districts in
the county which already have a
special school tax. notably Gonzalez.
The agricultural and high school build
ing at Gonzalez is one of the finest in
the state, and would be a credit to any
town in the country. Other districts
in the county have the interest of the
children at heart, and are paying q
special tax, and there is every reason
why Pensacola should do the same
49, lit fulfilling @Ul HlSf1 SciiuOi loi
Pensacola has been too long delayed
but it is impossible to put up this
school. and make the necessary inn
provements to other schools OF the
county, on the present county appro-
priation for education.
1T is up to the people of Pensacola
to do their part. The children of this
city have equal rights with other child
rem. How well Pensacola intends to
safeguard those rights will be demon
strated on December % when the voters
cast their ballots. either for or against

II we recognize that We have been

RuskIn on Science.

John Ruskin used to be very angry
with the statue Of Science on Holborn
viaduct in London. which, along with
the others there, they are cleaning
just now More than once he attacked
1t in 'Fors," though not for it's utter
lack of artistic merit. His object was
otherwise. But you don't know what
science is" he wrote. You fancy it
means mechanical art, and so you have
put statue Of Science on the Hol
born viaduct, with steam engine
regulator in its hands My ingenious
friends, science has no more to do
with making steam engines than with
making breaches. though she conde-
scends to help you little in such nee.
essary Cor it may be, conceivably. in
both cases. sometimes unnecessary
