CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS
FOR SENDING OUT MAIL

Now is the time to begin to think
about Christmas mailing. From the
office OF Postmaster F. r. Plaisted,
come the following valuable sug-
gestions:
Do you realize that the post office
always needs your assistance, but
in one particular especially, just at
this time?
During the holiday season large
quantities of unusual and irregular
sized envelopes and cards are put
into tire mails with the result that
all postal work is very much re-
tarded and mail dishgured and mu-
tilated. These odd and diminutive
use within the past few years in
particularly large quantities at
Christmas time when the whole
postal institution is keyed up to top
speed in trying to keep on top Of the
load. It is not generally known that
the liability to loss or damage to this
class Of mail is smaller if the pieces
are of a uniform size.
On unusually small cards, adj
dresses are frequently obliterated by
cancellation. The mail is too small
to run through the facing table and
canccllng machine, which necessi-
tates extra landings with conse-
ducnt delay. The smaller cards cam
not be distributed rapidly and LA
bility to loss is increased as the
cards may easily slip inside larger
envelopes which are unsealed. All
letters and cards must be tied in
bundles for dispatch to the trains
and when many of the smaller size
are 1ncuded, the edges of the larger
pieces of stationery are cut by the
string which must be drawn tightly
in order to firmly tie the package.
Postal employees will greatly APP
preciate cooperation in the use of
stationery of the proper size in or
der that the handling of all mail may
be expedited. When purchasing
Christmas or correspondence cards,
if the size is not, less than IA by
inches, the purchaser may be as
sured that he is lending assistance
in making it possible to handle mail
ings with speed and accuracy. and
that there is little likelihood of his
mail reaching the addressce in an
imperfect condition If it conforms to
the ordinary sized envelope or card.

Layman's Sunday At All Souls

Sunday, November Goth, is to he
observed as Layman's Sunday at All
Souls Church, as it will be in every
other Unitarian Church in the coun-
try except a few exceptions in
churches whose calendars are 50 ar
ranged as TO make it necessary to
have the service on some other Sun
day in November. At All Souls the
service is to be in the competent
hands of four members of the chap
ter, Mayor Sanford L. Fogg, Don c.
Stevens and Hon. Norman l.. Bas-
sett. The president of the chapter,
Hon. Leslie c. Cornish is to take the
sermon appropriate for Thanksgiv-
ing and the whole service as well
has been arranged to be one of
Thanksgiving and praise. Fine old
hymns will be sung by the congrega-
ton, led by group of men under
the direction of F. r. Purinton, with
Scion Purinton at the organ. The
indications are that it will be an UNI
usually fine service.
In the afternoon at 4.So o'clock will
come the Children's Nesper Service
of Thanksgiving. with parts by
members of the church school and a
special service for the occasion in
which all may join, with Mrs. I. A.

the pleasure of hearing an address
from Dan Huntington Fem, student
assistant at the First church in
Cambridge. Mr.. Fem, who works
under the direction of Samuel Nc
Chord Crotbers, D. D.. minister of
the First church as we'll as the<ell
known author and essayist, is
young man of unusual ability and
personal charm, whose training and
experience have brought him much
success in his work with the students
of Harvard university. Whatever
he may have to say will be worth
hearing by old as we'll as young. Mr..
Fenn's address will also be in har-
mony with the spirit of Thanksgiv-
ing. To both these services the con-
gregation OF All Souls invites any
and all who may care to come.

In any event, the men were con-
victed OF capital crime, and UNI
less their appeal is granted will go
to the electric chair, on evidence of
an entirely circumstantial nature.
Time and again the weakness of cir
cumstantial evidence has been dem
onstrated. Hardly day passes that
will lead to this result. II so their
misleading character OF circum-
stantial evidence, even in regard to
the little things of life; and it is a
disgrace to our civilization that con-
victions should be allowed on evil

true that direct evidence is frequent

that it is better for ninety-nine
guilty men to escape than it is to
manity has forgotten this admoni-
ton. The spirit OF it has almost en-
tirely disappeared from our legal
processes, and the hardening effect
of this gradual drift Is bad for us
all.
Capital punishment, moreover, is
relic of barbarism. It is contrary
to all the ethics OF Christianity. 1t
is contrary to the legal principle that
restitution should be made for legal
mistakes-for there is no possible
reparation after the electric chair
has done its work-and 1t has been
conclusively proved that 1t is con-
trary to the best interests Of society.
Furthermore, so long as we admit
the legal principle that man has
no power over his own life we can
not honestly contend that society
has the right to take the lives Of
others. Capital punishment Is blot
upon our civilization and disgrace
to our Wanted Christianity and hui
manity. It should be wiped OF the
statute books Of every state in the
union.
Perhaps the effort to save Sacco
and vanzetti from the electric chair
will lead to this result. II 80 their
suffering and the agony Of their
families will not have been in vain.
In any event. it is to be hoped that
the most strenuous effort will be
made to bring about reversal Of
the verdict against them, and that
all those who have sense Of JUS
tice in their souls will lend their sup
port to thi effort.
Very truly yours
