Advises Early
 Xmas Shipments

Local express forces are making special preparations for the handling of the Christmas traffic, according to statement made today by Sam Driver, agent in charge of the city express offices.
 ''We wish to emphasize the inn portance of shipping holiday gift packages early" said MT. Driver to- day. This will avoid congestion with the regular traffic, and insure their arrival on time. Our most i'm shipments is to deliver them before Christmas Day"
 The express agent declared that the carriers ask the public to ship their Christmas gifts in perfect packages" so that the shipments may be safely and quickly delivered.
 Ho points out that it is advisable for holiday shippers to take special care in the packing and marking of their gift shipments. He urges plain, legfble addresses directly on ship marks erased"
 Christmas gifts in boxes or cartons should be so reinforced with packing material as to avoid shifting Of con- tents in transit. It is advisable to place the name and address of the shipper inside of the package.
 This inside information often leads to the recovery of a misdirected or miscarried shipment, or one from which the address has been lost in transit.
 1 ing Christmas labels for gift ship ments carrying the words Not to be i opened until Christmas" which can ! be obtained at local exp -ess offices.

FINISH FIGHT ON LABOR BOARDS
 CLOSING ORDER

Washington, Dec. 15-Charges that the railroad executives are seeking to force a national railroad strike so they may have test of strength with organized labor were made here yes terday by James P. NOonan. presi- dent of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, in discussing the closing of numerous railroad shops and the order of the Railroa pat q Labor Board which practically el1m- mates the eight hour day.
 Tt is all part of 8 movement to force a strike again." said Noonan. The railroads think they have the government behind them and they want to force the issue, for they ex- rect government support. The elim- ination of the eight hour day will be strenuOusly opposed"
 This Is a direct slap at the Amer ican Federation of Labo-," said A. J. Berris. secretary of the Metal Trades Department of the American Fedora tion of Labor, commenting on the Railroad Labor Board order. "It will be fought to the finish. It is an attack on the basic principles of the latCr movement

POCKET FLASKS
 FOR MEN IS
 NOW THE RACE
Has Superseded the Necktie, Socks and Pipe For
 Christmas Gifts

The silver pocket flask is now the thing in Christmas gifts! The necktie, socks and pipe have been su- perceded. Now it is the flask for men, and, whisper 1t ever so softly, for women, too-this on the author ity of one of our leading jewellers.
 Let the 18th amendment stand if it can, everyone is carrying his or her pocket flask anyway. At a certain girls college in the east, whose name must be concealed for fear of shock all decided to give their 'men'' flasks for Christmas. Other colleges and boarding schools are following suit with the result that the flask is now the most popular Christmas gift.
 Were selling them as quickly as we can get them now,' said the jew eler previously mentioned. There was a slump in the sale of them last year until the summer when people began to go away, when they sold quite briskIy. But as soon as the Christmas season began, we sold them off every day as quickly as we could get a supply of them.
 ''The small ones holding four ounces, for the ladies. are very popu- lar. Oh. yes, we sell lots of these, also the large. 16 ounce style curved to fit to the hip.''
 The most popular gift flask is of silver. either of the plain or ham, mered variety and is either initialed or monegramed. It comes in sizes from ounces to 16 ounces and ranges in price from $3.50 up.
 In the good old pre-prohibition days a flask was a curiosity, but it Is now as much part of a mans equip ment as a cigarette case. One even sees tn em on trains. They were quite common on the trains after the Yale games.
 "Oh, isn't that darling flask. dc let me see it!' exclaimed one sweet young thing to her escort on the train coming from the Ya1e-Princeton game. Of course they're common ir restaurants and at dances and judS- ing from the way they are selling just now they will be far more com- mon after Christmas.

Why You Should Shop
 Early Before Christmas

Shop Early" not to help the mer- chant, or tho poor, tired girl behind Ine counter or even the man who de- Evers the packages. but do your shopping early because you can get the best selection of gifts then and because you can save yourself the frenzied last minute rush of late buy ing.
 This after all. is about what the new Christmas motto. which has al- most superseded the old Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men" sinners down to. For the past ten years or so we have been told to "shop carly to help someone else while in reality the greatest advantage in doing so was our own.
 For several weeks now the stores Of the city have been displaying their tempting gift suggestions. Every where in them is seen the holly and the poinsetta. Mems departments have had their "gifts for men" ready tarly, women'S departments have been displaying alluring gifts for the be- wildered man purchaser. The toy departments in all their wonder of been the Mecca of children for miles around for a month now.
 It is natural that the merchant should put out his very best and most attractive things in this early display. It follows logically that the early shopper gets the best selection. In other words, the Christmas motto Shop Eearly'' might be quite readily changed into the older adage, ''The early bird gets the worm," and serve its purpose quite as well.
 Last minute shopping has develop ed a new species of individual, pe- culiar to that time. You meet her the night before Christmas, dashing frenziedly about. scarcely recognfz- ing even her most intimate friends, half mad and worried to death She tells you that she Cant find a thing for Ann .CaQ't think what tn give

PRINTERS HEAR
 LECTURE ON
 PAPER MAKING

The members of the Bridgeport branch of the United Typothetae or America together with memners O, the Buyers Club of Bridgeport, gath cred at a dinner meeting at the Sea side Club Tuesday night when a1ter partaking of fine chicken dinner. thev enjoyed an illustrated lecture on The Standardized Manufacture of Standardized Paper" given by Dr. R. F. Rindfusz. secretary of the Amer ican Writing Paper Go.
 After being introduced by Pred- dent S. A. Cutting of the TypOthetae Dr. Rindfusz first described the var ious major classes into which paper is divided, explaining the particular advarrtageous uses of each. then with the aid of slides he explained in detall the various steps and processes in the manufacture of the papers in use to- satisfaction of those present that standardization in manufacture, as carried out by his company. makes for efficiency, capacity production and lower cost. which reflects ltseIi in lower prices to the ultimate con- s,1rner Dr. Rindfusz concluded his address by throwing open the floor for questions

mother" she's just 'been every where and is "nearly crazy,'' and hurries wildly away from you again.
 Of course shopping early does help the merchant to whom the rush of Christmas is always a trial. It does help the salesgirl, who certainly does get tired. poor thing, and it does help the man who delivers the packages. But most of all. it helps the woman who does her shopping early.
 Shopping early and leisurely, pre- ferably in the morning when the salesgirl is feeling fresh for her du- ties. becomes the pleasure the se- lecting of gifts for beloved ones should be. One does not have to take left-overs then, the first choice is the early shoppers.
 About $1,0eO,OO0,oCO is spent every year in the department stores, speci- alty shops and drygoods stores of this country for Christmas gifts. This means an average of almost $50 for every family in the United States. Ordinarily, when a family goes out to invest $50 it considers carefully. But because the Christmas present appro- priation is spread out over so many different small gifts the same care is not given. But why should not the Christmas investment be made with as much forethought and care as any other?
 Here in Bridgeport the Christmas Club plan operated by most banks has had a splendid effect upon the shopping public. Coming as the checks do early in December it is most natural that those who saved in this way during the year for Christ mas should do their shopping almost inlm mediately they are received
 But there are still hundreds of others who belong to the last minute class and to them the advantages of arIx e-Ns1 out-those who have learned to "shop early" do not need the advice.

Edward w. Redfield, the painter of snow scenes, said the other day at the Philadelphia Art Club:
 q see that in Paris the experts are proving the authenticity of dubious old masters by means of the X-Ray. This is a good idea. It will do away with lot of hoaxing.
 q heard the other day of dealer who tried to hoax a profiteer. The dealer offered a Raphael for sale, pointing to the signature triumphant ly, but after examination the sigma ture the profiteer said:
 "The name don't look like Raphael. Looks more like Rachel to me-
 "The dealer examined the signature himself.
 "'Yes, it is Rachel he said. 1ll tell you the history of that When Raphael painted that picture he was in hard luck, y'understand, so he put it in the wife's name.' '"-Washington Star.

STUDEBAKER CARS
 SET NEW RECORDS

News of more "firsts" established by Studebaker cars has just been re- ceived by Beecher and Robinson, local distributors of Studebaker cars.
 A dispatch from Nevada City, Nev- ada, states that the first automobile to come over the Yuba Pass under it's own power this year was a Studebak CT, carrying MT. and Mrs. Oscar Lis ter, of Boise Valley, Idaho, and their children, together with camping equipment weighing nearly 500 pounds. They were en route from their home to Southern California, and essayed the difficult trip over the Yuba Pass without experiencing trouble.
 From Spokane, Washington, comes the report of another Stakeholder, piloted by J. H. Collins, of Colville, accompanied by his wife, who drove their car to Seattle ana established the record of first crossing the Snoqualmie Pass. There is always considerable interest in the first car to come over this pass leading over the Cascade range, as it is usually blocked with snow until late in the season. Upon leaving Seattle. Mr. Collins was told that the pass would not be open, but he determined to set out and go as far as he could. On the summit he was held up for near ly an hour waiting for workmen to let him through. He encountered more than eight miles of snow in making the ascent, and had to resort to chains in negotiating this stretch.
 To studebaker car has gone the honor of replacing the malamute dogs and horse stages away up in the far northern snow-covered country ot Alaska. It is touring car, too, that is doing this job and it is being op. erated by Jack Collins, a "sour dough on the route of Anchorage, Alaska Latest reports state that the car IS proving it's ability to travel anywhere the malamute dogs and horse stages can go, and to cover the ground m ope-third the time.

OUR INCREASING GOLD
 SUPPLY

The influx of gold into the United States continues. The net balance of imports in May was $57,000,00O, rais- ing to about $32O,O O,OOO,00O the net gain through importation in the first five months of this year. For eight con- secutive months imports of the metal have exceeded exports.
 Owing to adverse trade balances with the Orient and South America, the United States lost gold in 1919 and the early months of 1920, with the result that our stock of gold was reduced to $2,646, 100000 on May 1, 1920. This represented reduction of SAFE, 100000 from the stock of the metal held at it's previous maximum three years earlier. In the subse- .quent 13 months, however, we have increased our stock of gold to a record total on June 1, 1921, of S3,- 175,OOO,OOO.
 The recent accumulation of gold in this country through importation, says the Guaranty Survey, New York, is to some extent reflection of the made ouate provision of credits for financ- ing our export trade. In the interest of this trade, every reasonable effort should be made to obviate the neces- sity for foreign countries to dispose largely of their gold holdings.
 While this inflow of gold has helped to improve the reserve position of the Federal Reserve banks, it represents on the whole a withdrawal of the metal from countries which need to strengthen their currencies. The et- feet of this upon exchange rates IS not precisely measurable, but IL IS certain that the movement can not continue at the present rate without adversely affecting changes. So far as this country is concerned, there IS probably more cause for apprehension on this score, in view of the posslole further impediments to our export trade, than for fear of an imitation of our currency and prices in conse- ouence of the accomplishing gold sup ply.
