DEAD PARCEL SALE
WILL END TODAY
JeWelry, Auto Accessories
and Artificial Leg In
CIuded in List.

Uncle Sans auction sale of dead
parcels was coming down the home
stretch this afternoon, with Charles
Kracke and christopher Zepp, posta
clerk-auctiOneerS, getting hoarSel
every minute.
All day yesterday these two clerks
labored and barked, and when they
stopped selling at 4:30 o'clock in the
afternoon they had disposed of Csc
lots of goods to the merry tune of ap
proximately So 500. But while the ac-
tual selling procedure was halted a
the regulation Government quitting
time, Kracke and Zepp and the corps
of cashiers under T. j. King. along
with the other workers, stayed on tho
Job until after O'Clock in the evening
preparing the goods that had been
sold for delivery to the purchasers
and arranging the remaining mer-
chandise for the continuation of the
sale today.
Artificial Leg for Sale.
Today's goods consisted of a more
interesting variety than that sold yes
terday, which was chiefly clothing
most of it uSed-and dry goods ma
terials. The catalogued list today,
however, included all kinds of jewelry.
some automobile accessories, crutcheS
and even an artificial leg and foot, in
addition to new clothing and a few
musical instruments. The crowd of
bidders today, like yesterdays, was
medley of men and women, individual
buyers and store proprietors In search
Of stock.
When the sale is ended at 4:30
o'clock this afternoon 1,2O0 lots OF
the unclaimed goods will have been
disposed Of While Frank c. Staley.
superintendent of the dead letter and
dead parcel division of the Post
Office Department, under whose di-
rection the auction is conducted,
would not guess at the probable re-
turn on the sale this morning, he
said he thought the proceeds would
be not very different from the June
sale. when $4,500 was turned over
to the Treasury. Whereas, the June
sales catalogue was q little smaller
than the present list, the material
auctioned then was of perhaps
better grade, and so the aggregate
hrices will be about equal.
Carelessness Is Blamed.
Mr.. Staley said this morning that
another such sale will be held prob
ably in March. when we can get
hold of a lot of that Christmas stuff
that's coming" Failure to place
return address upon the parcels and
fiimsy wrapping are the chief causes
why parcels leave home and sink
into the depths of the dead parcel
department shelves, the superintend-
ent said.
All the money paid by the bidders
to the department is not profit, it
was explained, for in some instances
where insured parcels have been
damaged Uncle Sam had to settle
with the shippers, and so some of the
damaged goods merely reimburses
him for his trouble.
