MAILING XMAS PRESENTS.

While the importance of early Christ mas shopping is being urged, and prop erly so, there should not be overlooked in connection herewith the importance of getting those Christmas presents that must be mailed, mailed early.
 The postoffice department is always obliged to shoulder a big burden at the Christmas season. Everyone is anxious that his presents should be delivered be- fore rather than after Christmas, but too frequently it is the case that he does not make due allowance for any such per formance. There are limits of possibility under the best conditions and the holiday season is one of the times when the vol ume of business thrown upon the postal service would make it impossible to han dle it unless there is a proper distribu- ton.
 Naturally those going to the long dis tance points should be sent first. There must be time allowed for transportation and expeditions handling, but what is Necessary in connection with the mailing of Christmas parcels is to guard aga inst waiting until the last minute and then expecting the postoffice department to make up for your own delay The num- her of packages going across country will be much smaller than those going within

GOOD RESULTS,

That the policing of the highways by the repr aSentatives of tEe motor vehicle department of the state ad a wholesome effect on tn day of the Yale-Harvaro football game when there was an in creased amount of travel over the high ways of the state is indicated by the small number of accidents
 NO one "a If course tell just how much additional travel over the roads resulted by those going to the game by machine Many who went there might have gone on trips in other directions but travel was nevertheless heavy and included many machines from outside of the state It wasn't day that was free from accidents but the number was slight and in the worst the driver of the ma chine was exonerated.
 Even as it is impossible to tell the number of cars carrying people to the game. there is likewise no way of telling just what the influence of the guardians of the highways was but it is a safe in ference to attribute the freedom from serious smashups and arrests for viola ton of the automobile laws to the good service that was performed by those on patrol and the influence that the an nouncement that such policing would be done had upon the drivers
 When it is known that enforcement of highway laws can be expected there is bound to be respect shown for it. If the impression is permitted to get abroad that anything will be permitted results in keeping herewith are bound to follow from speeding. cutting in or disregardins the rights of the other users of the road: going in the same or opposite direction
 The results obtained therefore becaus' of the vigilance of the representative! of the motor vehicle department ana other authorities must be regarded al highly satisfactory. It is one of tn means of law enforcement which il bound to operate for the greater safet. of the highways, and those who use them know that too much attention can not be given thereto.

DD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
When Lafayette Visited America

America will ever have a kindly feel ing toward France, on account of the service rendered to this country during the times that try mems souls"-eur Revolution and the period immediately following it, for having sent to us Lafay- cite, as well as many other prominent Frenchmen, who figured in our events that gained for us our liberty, and established our country on, a firm footing.
 The services rendered by tfE Marquis de Lafayette during this period. were second only to those of our distinguished cou1trynan. George Washington. And it was but natural Ihat years al CT the Republic was firmly established this na- ton should pay full homage to Lafayette when he felt disposed to visit our coup- try to observe the progress we had made. and in which he no doubt had personal pride.
 When war broke out in his own coun- trv during the Revolution, Lafayette re- turned to France. and in 1874 he, re- visited this country and was reeeiHe71 with enthusiasm wherever he went me country. however. was in too much or a turmoil to fully honor the great French lover of liberty. but the appreciation or his services was not to go unnotced TOT

 This invitation was extended and ac- cented and on July 12, 1924, Lafayette accompanied by his son. George Washing ,on Lafavette, as well as his secretary sailed from Havre for America. He ar rived in New York on August 15. and one of the first to greet him was Joseph Boneparte a brother of the great Ma poeon, who was residing in the United States, at Bordentown, N. J.
