SMALL ENVELOPES
AND CARDS TABOO
Cause Much Delay in Handling Mail
During Christmas SeasOn-AppeaI
by PostOffice Department.

The postofice department seeks the CO
operation of everybody with respect to
the avoidance Of the use of small sized
cards and envelopes during the holiday
season. At this particular time of the
year large quantities Of very small en-
vploDCS and cards arc put into the mails.
with the result that all postal work is
very much retarded and mail disfgured
and mutiiated, but this fact is not gener-
ally known To the public.
The minimum size Of cards and enye-
lopes should not be below two and three
quarter inches by four inches. for the
following reasons announced by the
postCfiice department:
L. Addresses viii be obliteratcd by can
collation. mark
=. Too small to be rum through facing
table. necCSsitating three extra landings
with consequent delay not only to this
but other mail.
3. Delay lin cancellation because of awk-
wardness in putting through canceiiing
machines.
T. Delayed through difficulty in sorting.
>. Liability to loss or damage as small
sizes do not fit letter packages and can
not be tied securely.
These odd and diminutiye sized pieces
of stationery have come into use in the
past few years and only appear now in
any quantities at Christmas time. when
the whole postal institution is keyed up
to top speed and trying to keep on top
of the load. The work of the mail hand
lers would be greatly expedited during
the holiday season and persons would
have less occasion for complaint about
the delay in the transmission of first
class matter If the public would desiSt
from the use of these freak size pieces.

TRIAL
OPENS TODAY
Scores of Witnesses Waiting TO Tell
About Death of Nir-

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 14-Roscoe
e. tFaytyb Arbuckle, favorite motion pic

charge of manSlaughtcr growing out of
the death of Miss Virginia Rappe motion
picture actress. Sept. .. Scores of wit
n"sses ON both sides awaited the call to
the stand.
For more than a week the contending
sides nave had their decks stripped for
action and the eagerHeSs with which they
called all possible evidence indicates a
hard and bitter contest.
4 panel of sixty-fvc has been called
from which to obtain a jury. There are
thirteen women in this number. If a
jury is not obtained fromt this panel two
other panels win be called. In all. the
attorneys have 207 men Hna euFcn from
whom TO choose a dozen jurors.
It ought not to take more than few
days To get jury, said Gavin McNab,
eho31ld be over iu about three weeks. ."
The defense win call twenty-five or
more witnesses The state will produce
number OF exhibits to 6e offered i'm evi-
deucc.
Arbucklc was charged with murder at
first. but after listening to the arguments
and the evidence of attorneys at a pre-
hminary hearing. Judge Silvian Lazarus
decided this charge was unwarranted.
District Attorney Matthew Brady has
declared publicly that it was ridiculous
to charge Arbuckie with manSlaughter
yet he will try the comedian on that
charge. The defense will try to show
that Arbuckle did not attack Miss RappC
and did not injuTe her.

Although former workmen for the In

strike in Bellows Falls are keeping up
their practice Of assembling in the village
square three times a day when the men
employed in the mills come into the square
from their work, their spirit is different

prison for attempting to intimidate a
workman employed by the company.
