 Parcel Post

Postmaster R. B. Smyer is searching for a building containing as much as 4,500 square feet of floor space. He reeds this much room for the twelve new trucks that will be started on their rounds of delivering parcel post pack ages late Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
 Thomas G. MaIlaleu, from the depart ment of transportation at Washington, lia in Birmingham to start the new trucks off, according to previously laid plans.
 The dozen or more employees who have stood the civil service examination as truck drivers and mechanics, several of whom live outside of Birmingham, are being ordered to report at the postoffice Monday morning.
 An effort will be made to get the trucks in running shape, probably Monday night, so that there will be as little delay as possible in making the first run, the exact time of which has not yet been decided.
 According to MT. Mallalieu, 100 cities in the United States already have truck delivery service, and there are 2,oVV trucks in operation. These new trucks now demand the services of more than 5000 men.
 The delay caused in beginning truck service in many cities Is because uni gform bodies are being installed on the trucks formerly used in the army, and there is a shortage of these bodies, il is said.

 Probably the most striking development in regard to the Salvation Army an nounced recently Is the official statement that not an officer or other member or the organization received enough yearly income to make an income tax payment. Even Commander Evangeline Booth re- ceived less than S1 GOO for her salary Tn 1919.
 Throwing their treasury open to the recent storm sufferers the army posts in this section sustained a severe drain on their funds for the customary heiplui things they do.
 There is little story told about Cap tain Fowler, of the Salvation Army, in A southern city not long ago. He hat taken many baskets of food to needy people who gladly received help, but there
 were several older families, penurized'
 who would have died before asking toc
 charity. It was Captain Fowier's GUS
