tional fee is called service charge.
The new law also provides for special
handling of parcel post packages at
an extra charge of 25 cents. Special
handling means that parcels will be
handled as expeditiously as first class
mail. It's particular advantage applies
mainly to it's handling enroute by the
railroads and other transportation IA
cilities. Such parcels will not be
routed thru the various railway mail
terminals but will be handled in di-
rect sacks, thus speeding up the trip.
This special handling charge is not
obligatory on shippers except on day
old chicks.
Registers will also carry an addi-
tional three cents charge if a re-
turn receipt is requested. Special de-
livery rates will be increased and
graduated with higher rate for
larger packages sent special delivery
under parcel post.
Under the new law there will be
no overlapping of third and fourth
class matter. Everything over eight
ounces will go as fourth class and all
similar commodities Of less than s
ounces must take the third class rate
The new schedule Of money order
fees begins with five cents and is
graduated up to 20 cents for the 500

The Cascade Tunnel, projected
some years ago by General H. M.
Chittenden, is the subject of PAM
phlet written by Austin E. Griffiths,
Judge of the King county superior
court. The tunnel, as proposed would
be 32A miles in length, with q max

"Melodrama, especially that hav-
ing heart interest and crook plot
will always have a popular appeal"
This is the opinion of Tod Brown
Ing, director of 1.-THE Unholy Three"
the eventfuY mystery drama pro-
duced by Observation-Disclosures,
now being shown at the Colonial
theatre.
As tho most famous director Of
crook drama In the picture industry,
Browning's opinion is decidedly
worth listening to.
"Melodrama appeals" says this d.
rector, because it thrills and draws
upon the imagination. There Is sus-
pense to the plot and there is a we'll
defined co-ordinated thread which
can readily be followed by the audi
ence.
There are few human beings who
are not interested in adventure. They
may lead lives far from the path of
thrills but they like to hear about
them or see them on the screen. Ac-
lions which are sensational are slim
ulating to the brain and, In fact, to
the entire human system.
Books dealing with adventure
and out-of-the-ordinary actions find
a more ready circulation among
readers than do volumes dealing
with philosophy or society. Most
students like history because 1t is
melodramatic. It is series of psy-
Geological incidents that are logical
In their conclusion and interesting
In their recital.
II believe that a good crook plot
with lot Of heart interest affords
more entertainment to the average
picture-goer than does any other
class of story"
1.-THE Unholy Three" is interpreted
by an unusual cast which includes:
Lon CLANCY. Mae Busch, Matt
Moore. Victor McLaglen, Harry
Earles and Mathew Betz. The Aim
is based on c. A. Robbins popular
novel. Waldemar Young wrote the

tor and Cedric Gibbons and Joseph
