POSTAL CLERKS ON
JOB DURING RUSH

Late hour rushes to get packages
mailed at the local post office taught
patrons lesson that they are putting
into practice during the hours re-
naming before Christmas.
Before Z o'clock this morning peo-
Pile with parcels in their hands were
standing at the post office waiting
for stamp and delivery windows TO
open, Clerks were prepared and the
crowd was soon down to normal and
at 10 o'clock no unusual crowd was
noticeable in the lobby.
Postmaster Hopson and his clerks
have handled the situation in an ad-
mirable manner, and where delays
were inevitable owing TO the Christmas
rush. AS a rule people have not had
to stand in line for any length of time
to get waited on.
The postmaster and all his assistants
are calling attention of patrons to the
necessity of more room and equip
ment to keep up with the rapidly
growing city, and hope that some
of them will urge upon the powers
that be at Washington the necessity
of rushing through another appro.
priation for that purpose,

NOTHING ROMANTIC
BUT ONE OF THOSE
REAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS

An artificial limb for a Christ
mas present. Nothing romantic
about such a gift. but really it is
more practical than many things
that will be given during the holi-
days.
John w. Holden, at S22 Fifth
avenue, northwest, many months
ago had trouble with q foot. He
was hunting work one day and the
man he approached saw blood on
the mans foot. An investigation
was started. The man was sent
to hospital. After treatment was
begun it became evident that the
man had to be relieved Of the dis.
eased member.
Such work as the man could per-
form afterward was secured for
him and the man who discovered
the blood in the mans shoe and
upon his foot has been his good
friend.
An artificial leg has been pur-
chased for Holden. The leg ar
rived yesterday. Several men i'm
bued with the Christmas spirit got
together and contributed funds
necessary to pay it out. One Of
the donors to the fund happened
to be q former manufactures OF ar
tificial limbs. He knows how TO
fit them and after giving his
money 10 help buy the leg the
man offered his services to teach
the man how to use it and how
70 make it serviceable.

Among the dainty trifles TO be given

to be the motto, for a plain one asso-
ciates itself with very frilly, filmy

Most Of the palmer ones, sometimes
colored, sometimes white, have drawn

embroidered flowers are often added
in fascinating groups. Frilly hank

white, and then again with contrasting
colors. Wee spots of colored embroid-

! For those who enjoy doing drawn
work there are several varieties ol
collars and cuffs, ON which to be
STOW une'a dainty stitches. for the pur
pose of making very acceptable gifts
/ one SET of collars and cuffs Was hem
. stitched with an inch hem Of canary
, yellow linen. Another was very simple
and smart with a single line of drawn
work inside the hem, and a narrow
edeng of filet.
Embroidered dots make clever trim

material is used, are very effective

sents an interesting problem TO the
designer. Velvet petals may form the

In the past all the best clay used for loading paper has been imported.

Between November 15, 1920. and February 21. 1921, over 3,25O.OOO lbs. of sugar-beet seed were imported into the United States.

The them for discussion was sclentifit temperance instruction in the schools.
 Mrs. C. NJ. Hirst proved herself a very efficient leader in the way in which she handled the subject. Mrs. J. O. A. Bush spoke of the instruction of our young as undergrding law en- forcement. Mrs. \. E. Nelson read an struction as d means of safeguarding the child Mrs. Pittman gave an ar ticle on the instruction of the young from the standpoint of a moral or sci entifie question.
 Other thoughts were brought out by different members such as the efforts people are making to gain q foothold again and the great need for every be- iiever in temperance and freedom to continue to educate and create public sentiment for law enforcement and pro- hibiton of the liquor traffic; and the gratitude we owe to the teachers of our land for the services they are rendering an the training of our children.
 Needless to say that all who attend ed this meeting gained deeper ap- preciation of the work that is before us along educational lines and great CT sympathy with the teachers of our land.
