MAIL ALL PARCELS BEFORE END OF
WEEK, URGES POSTMASTER COLLINS

Only eight days to Christmas. and
the request is made by Postmaster
Collins, that those who have not
vet attended to their Christmas
mailing, do so before the end Of the
week.
Each day sees a heavy increase in
the amount of incoming and out
going mail at the post office, and
the. force of clerks is kept working
at top speed throughout the day
in order to keep things cleared. Any
tl;ug that can be done to expedite
the sending out Of mail this week
will mean Il lighter burden for the
clerks next week.
RI Centre residents who have
presents to maiNfor eastern cities.
will do we'll to get them off as early
this week as possible in order to
Lave them arrive somewhere near
Christmas. 1t is not too early to
send Gift to the middle west and
southern sections. Packages can al
ways be marked DO not open un-
til Christmas. and The postofficc
officials feel that it is better to be
u little ahead of time than TO be
two or three days or even a week
late.
Will Assist Public
The parcel counter has been es-
tablished in the lobby of the post
office, and every assistance will be
given the public in mailing Christ
mas packages. Wrapping paper ami
twine will be supplied free through
the courtesy of the Valley Drug
which is maintaining the
Imperial Valley press., 1925-12-16

wrapping counter this year as a
community service.
The public is requested to take
special pains to see that n sufficient
amount of postage is placed on all
packages before they are mailed.
There have been several changes in
postal rates since last Christmas.
and Postmaster Collins advises that
it will be well for the public to
make certain that they have affiy-
cd the proper number of stamps.
otherwise mail will not only be de.
lavcd, but may be returned to the
sender for the additional postage.
Special Care Advised
Care should be taken to see that
names and addresses are legiblv
written and that return address
has been placed on the package or
parcel. Packages should be secure
ly wrapped and tied so that they
viii not become broken in transit.
Valuable presents should be insur-
ed and money should be sent by
check or money order.
As the Christmas rush increases,
additional clerks will be placed on
duty in the lobby to expedite the
mailing of Christmas packages.
However, the public is urged not to
wait for this. but to do their Christ
mas mailing NOW and as early in
the dav as possible. \ load of mail
dumped in the postoffice after
O clock, is sufficient to eliminate all
all progress that has been made dur
mo the daV.

PARIS BURROWINC
TO MEET PROBLEM
OF GROWING CITY
By United Press Leased Wire

PARIS, Dee. l6.-Prevcntcd bv a
sandy subsoil and the fear of fu-
jure air attacks fro building New
Acrkian skyscraprrs Paris is fight
my growing congestion by burrow-
ing.
Nowhere in the world are living
quarters as hard to obtain as in
Paris. The city is fairly bulginy
with its mounting population. |.
: 10 relieve this that Paris is be-
ginning to build downwards.
Already the bones of the cata-
combs are being swept TO one side
10 make room for the public mar
kcts. Other sections Of the huge
ouarries followed out unde the
street level by centuries OF building
are being converted into garages.
Before the war, Paris WAS a com
Portable city to live in. There were
fewer autos in thise DAYS and the
streets were clear; there were many
new buildings and flats were plen-
tiful. But today there are few
crossings in the world more con
gested than the place where the
avcnuc de l'Dpcra joins the boule-
wards and there is no other city in
the world where there exists such
a shortage of apartments.
Lots of Room Below
Looking around for solutions of
these problems, The city fathers of
Paris have discovered that there is
..
services and public utilities which
yet occupy space above ground. The
idea is not new to Paris, for her
subsoil is fairly teeming with life.
A perfect subway has done much to
relieve the congestion of the streets
Under an eighth of the area of
Paris is a great hollow space. This
was once quarry but in 1871 the
government decided to follow the
example of Rome and establish
catacombs to which were moved
skeletons and bones taken from Gem
eteries which it was decided to abol-
ish.
Now certain members of the mu-
nicipal council. are entertaining the
idea of sinking the city markets
into the catacombs, sweeping up
the bones into one corner and by
lighting up and providing vcntila-
tion provide the city with a great
public market at little cost, allow
ing the destruction Of the present
central markets which occupy
ground much too valuable for such
purposes.
There is also q plan underway to
hollow out great space under the
boulevards, near the Opera. which
will become a public garage dcs-
fined to hold the ears of business
men. 1t will then be forbidden to
leave car standing at the curb in
Tie downtown district for more than
minute. Such a garage could ac-
csmmodatc 10000 cars and would
be reached by inclined roads.
A great program Of subway con
struction is actually under way
which includes tfc construction of
four new lines and the prolonging
of five others. Under the boulc-
wards, two tubes are being dug
one above the other and the day is
not far distant when every Partisan
will have subway station within
five minutes of his door.

LONDON. Dee. 16.-With hunt
ing in britain in full swing the
English public is specializing on
how many times this year the
Prince of Wales will Anl.
In little les, t:ian = month he
has had two t,mbles. This makes
thirteen misAaps since November
1920. The .'Tory" newspapers ar"
loud in their condemnations of the
risks run y the heir to the British
, throne. They demand that less
fiery seeds and safer jumpers be
chosen fer him.
4 controversy is also raging as
TO whether the prince is 4 good or
had rider.
The majority of hunting people
favor the former. They point out
that only the good riders take risks
possibly involving fail, whereas
the poor riders make for gaps in
the hedges and prefer TO dismount
and open a gate rather than take
the chance Of their horse jumping
il.
Says It's Horses Fault
The minitiated general public Is
not 50 sure however. Possibly the
reason is because every time the
prince falls the incident is banner
lined Ia the newspapers. \ mere
ordinary" doesn't get into print.
The question is becoming Il publ"

Lifting PoUer of LoUe

Love lifts up the lowest to the
highest, places the lowly born by
the side of the bright particular
star 1t binds us to earth; and
when our loved one has been taken
from us it lifts us to heaven. Who
shall tell its glories and it's VIC
tories? Without it a life passed Is
like a year gone by without any
summer-cold, chilly, unfruitful,
without pleasure or charm. With it
the worst state is endurable. The
palace is but stable or an out
house without it-a very prison;
the very prison when the loved one
shares it is a palace Such is par
ticular love. When that, upon the
freeing of our souls from this mud
dy vesture of decay" which incloses
it. has grown into general love for
our fellows and love of alteration
for our Maker We shall not be far
off paradise, for indeed heaven's
harmony is universal.-Hain Fris-
well.

Buyers and Sellers
To Meet at Phoenix

Another buyers and sellers con-
ference of purchasing agents, man
ufacturers, wholesale distributors
and farm organization representa-
tives from all parts of the state,
will be held this year as a feature
of TRADE at Home-Use Arizona
Products" Week.
The conference will be held in

nouncement by the Arizona Indus
trial congress.
A general invitation to attend the

pected. A number of those who will
be present will remain over from
the district Rotary convention to

and II.
The buyers and sellers confer
ences held during the last three
years are given much of the credit
for the pronounced increases made
in the use of Arizona products IN
the state during that period. The
meetings not only have resulted in
valuable exchange of ideas regard
ing improvement of the quality,
packing, grading and handling Of
all products, but have brought the
producers. distributors and large
buyers of the states products into
direct contact and understanding,

BISHOP ATWOOD
Is SAID TO BE
RESiGNING POST

1t is rumored that the Rt. Rev.
julius w. Atwood, archdeacon of
the Episcopal diocese of Arizona,
and we'll known in Winslow, where
he has filled the Episcopal pulpit
many times, will resign and return
to the east. Advancing age is said
to be the reason for the Rev. Mr..
Atwood's withdrawal from active
work in this state.
Bishop Atwood, a native of Yer
mont, born in 1857, was ordained to
the priesthood in 1888, serving as
rector of churches in Ipswich,
Mass; Providence, r. l., and Co
lumbus, Ohio, before coming to
Arizona in 1906, to be archdeacon
of the local diocese and rector of
Trinity church in Phoenix. On Jan.
II, 1911, he was ordained bishop,
succeeding John Mills Kendrick,
who then took especial charge in
New Mexico, which had been en-
braced with Arizona in a single
charge.
The administration of Bishop At
wood has been marked by notable
church growth, with strong organ
izations now known in more than
a dozen Arizona cities, besides
number of missions. In 1921 was
completed the cathedral in Phoe-
nix. He has been deeply interested
in st. Luke's home, a tubercular

sanatorium founded by him IN
Phoenix, with branches on the des-
ert, near Tucson, and in the pines,
near Prescott. He also has carried
on the work of a church hospital
established by Bishop Kendrick at
Fort Defiance on the Navajo Indian
reservation in Northeastern Ari-
IONA.
1t is considered possible that
Bishop Atwood's successor will be
William Scarlet, dean of Christ
church cathedral, st. Louis. Dean
Scarlet, a Harvard graduate, or
dained to the priesthood in 1910,
was an assistant in st. Georges
church, New York, till he came to
Phoenix in 1911 to be dean of the
local cathedral, a place held by him
until he went to st. Louis in 1922.
