ODD SIZES, SHAPES,
CAUSE TROUBLE TO
HANDLERS OF MAIL

Complaints loud and ferucious are
coming from the mail workers in tho
Richmond post office al wen as else
where in the country, over tho mass
OF freak envelopes, cards and folders
they are being forced to handle. Firms
and individuals have gone in strongly
for the use Of huge envelopes. Not
content with having them big, they in
sist on having them triangular, or cir
cular, or some other freaky shape, Just
SO that they are tnconvenient to han
die and impossible to run through the
cancening machine.
Because q great deal of this freak
mail is out Of size for the cancelling
machine, It must be cancelled and
handled by hand. wasting much val.
liable time and delaying mail service.
Many tiny cards. though not so fire.
quently now as in years past, come
through the postoffice, and cause an.
noyance. While these invitations
thank yous" and other types of ba.
by letters, as they are called, do not
come in inconvenient shapes, they are
extremely hard to handle. and will not
60 through the caneellink machines
any better than huge mail
Besides abnormal and annoying
small mail, postoffice employees have
to deal with envelopes and cards OF
various colors, some Of which are next
to binding, and many Of which are
so dark, and addressed in ink so near
ly the same color that they can hard
ly be deciphered. 1t is often tedious
and eye straining job to get through
with them.
Postal officials call on all people
concerned in these troubles of the
postoffice to assist in ending the
drawbacks to good service.

CHAUTAUQUA AWAY
TO FLYING START
SAYS ". Q. WSSlER

Richmond's 1919 chautauqua has al
ready started on the road to big sue
cess.
Secretary w. o. Wissler has dis
posed of over 70 tenting reservations
during the first two days OF the open
plat. All the persons making reserva-
tions during the past two days have
simply renewed their former camp
ing space, but on Saturday the plat
will open to the general public, and
considerable number of new campers
will secure reservations then, 1t IS
thought from the inquiries which have
been coming in.
Last year 250 tents and lots were
rented to campers. Two hundred OF
these are estimated to have been old
campers. About the same number II
old campers will be on the GROUNDS
again this year, it is thought, while
there may be a larger number OF the
new campers.
Furniture dealers are unable to fur
nish cots and other camp furniture
this year owing to the great demand
for these supplies during the past
year and their inability to obtain 9TH
er stock.
at looks as If the campers will
have to visit their garrets and their
next door neighbors, to help supply
their tents with the necessities they
formerly got from local dealers" said
Wissler Thursday.
The sale Of tickets kept up at a fair
" steady pace all Thursday morning
at the Richmond shops where they
are being sold. Tickets can be pur-
chased for 81 for children and So for

DEMOCRATS URGE.
LEAGUE SUPPORT.
BEFORE SENATE
Owen and Randsell Speak in
Favor of Covenant-See
End to Wars.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The sem
ate was urged today by Senator Owen,
Democrat, Oklahoma, to accept the
league Of nations covenant in order
to establish a new world order, and
not to delay it's action by "captious
and partisan disputes" over the word
ing Of it's various provisions.
II shall not criticise the rhetoric
or the verbiage of the covenant" said
Senator Owen. This covenant Is wise.
1t is thoughtfully drawn. In it's sub
stance it is splendid. In it's purpose
1t is glorious.
"A perfect contract between scoun-
drels is worthless. An imperfect con-
tract between trustworthy friends,
who have fought and bled together
in common love Of justice and lib
erty. is of very great value. Let us
be devoutfully thankful for the oppor-
tunity to bind the world together in
bonds of peace.
Formed on Battle Field
"On the battle field league or
victorious nations was established.
The nations composing it discovered
that while they were bound together
by the exigencies of war in framing
the future relations of the nations of
Europe with Germany 1t was essential
to establish league that should en-
brace all the nations of the world.
1.-The political enemies Of President
Wilson should not throw themselves
In blind fury against the covenant
on the theory that it is his child. The
principles of the league are those of
The Hague conventions brought down
to date. 1t represents the best opin-
ions of the whole civilized world. Do
not Stay the covenant as President
Wilson's child. He Is not the real
father. but only an honest physician
who presided over the accouchment."
Urging prompt and unreserved rati-
fication of the league of nations cove
nant, Senator Ransdell, Democrat. La,
declared in senate speech today that
the document met the ends of univer-
cal peace, "as closely as any human
agency can"
Protection From War
Every one demands" said the
Louisiana senator, that something
should be done in order to save man
kind the horrors of war. Its enemies
submit all of objections to this parti-
cular league but propose nothing in
its place. When one considers the
mighty stake, does it not seem the
height of folly to bubble and complain
about each and every detail Of cove
nant, about whether this i should be
dotted or that It crossed, when the
fate of humanity hangs in the bal,
ance?
In this most trying hour. the
United States is the sole hope Of man
kind. If our mighty republic fails
to ratify the league, the league will
fail, and if the league fails, the various
nations of the world will continue
the same mad effort for self-aggran
dizement. At the close of the next
general war darkness will settle upon
the earth; men will move back more
than twenty centuries; and Christian
civilization with all the good things
it has done for humanity will cease
to exist"

THOUSANDS VIEW
THE CIRCUS PARADE.

Birmingham's thousands lined the
streets Yesterday shortly before noon
to view the parade of the Sells-Floto
circus, which traversed the business
part Of town before opening the great
show at Smithfield
The brass bands the caliopes the
lions, the tigers and elephants, the
camels. the riders, men and women, on
their fine thoroughbred were there
in sufficient numbers to appease the
hunger of the multitudes for the things
that go with first class circus.
All along the route of march the
streets were lined for an hour or more
before the advance guard of the circus
the brass band seated on the usual high
band wagon drawn by eight beautiful
white horses appeared out of the west.
But the clown, that inimical character
that usually delights the little boy and
the little girl, and the older ones. too,
was missing. 1t was a grievous over
sight on the part of the circus manage
ment not to provide these accustomed
mirth provokers, but they made up
for this loss in the beauty of their
horses. the comeliness of their women
riders the number and bulk of their
elephants andthe other animals Gagged
and uncaged, that made up the parade.
Without circus in the fall, Bir-
mingham's bill of amusements would
be incomplete. Sells Floto were late
coming. but they came, and that was
all the little fellows and their elders
who felt it duty TO take them to the
circus are satisfied.

Battle Begun to Restrain
Enforcement of Law and
Liquor Dealers From
Dispensing Drinks

New York, October 3o.--The close of the
in New York found q persons arrested,
1000 saloon keepers in Brooklyn announc-
ing the close of the places tomorrow and
the opening guns fred in court battles to
restrain law enforcsrs from enforcing and
liquor dealers from selling.
Jacob Rupert, brewer, brought suit
against Francis G.. Caffey. United States
district attorney, and Richard McElligott
deputy collector of internal revenue, to
restrain from enforcing the war time pro-
hibition law. Meacw lille. Earl b. Barnes,
assistant United States district attorney,
filed suit against five liquor dealers ar
rested yesterday for violat ton of the law,
seeking to have them enjoined from con
tinuing business. A decision in these suits
favorable to the government would allow
prohibition enforcers summarily to arres1
liquor sellers as maintainers of public
nusances.,
The saloon keepers in Brooklyn who
voted to close their places at 1 O'Clock to-
morrow were members of the United Re
tail Liquor Dealers of Kings County, They
unanimously decided to keep their estab-
lishments closed until such time as the
law allows us to sell something more than
one-half of one per cent.
The revenue bureaus offices at the Gus

bottles brought in by prohibition enforce
