BERLIN TAXICABS GIVE
REBATE TO CUSTOMERS
Regular Patrons Allowed Per

wrestling with the problems of taxicab

company, Kraftag, a concern affiliated
with the Kraft organization which
operates the bus lines in the metro
politan district here. 1t now has TOO
cabs on the streets and expects TO
have 1900 by the end of the year.
Some of these innovations we're
demonstrated recently for the benefit Of
the Berlin press. Every cab entering
the garage Is at once turned over TO
a special department for automatic
cleaning and washing. The cushions
and the upholstery inside the car are
treated with vacuum cleaners and are
then disiHfected.
To every passenger a receipt is given,
showing the amount due, the date and
number of the cab. These receipts are
especially useful in recovering lost
articles, and also are a convenience to
business men in making up expense

ceipts amounting to 20 marks the
Kraftag allows rebate of 5 per cent.
The owner of the receipts also will be
entitled to a free ride up to the value

There is still another surprise. Every
Kraftag chauffeur carries an umbrella
in his cab. In case of rain he con-
ducts the passenger or passengers to
the door of the house, hotel, gallery,
office building or public building. Pref
erence is given in hiring chauffeurs to
those who can speak foreign languages.
IN spite of all these Improvements in

1000, 900 CHRISTMAS
LETTERS LOST BECAUSE
OF POOR ADDRESSING

In January every year the dead
letter service Of the postal depart
ment receives between three and
four million letters that are undeliv-
cradle. This is due primarily to in
correct addresses and failure to place
return addresses on the envelopes,
Assistant Postmaster H. P. Warner
said.
Early mailing of Christmas pack
ages and letters, particular those go
ng to distant points, was urged this
week by Assistant Postmaster War
ner. The last days on which to mail
be sent to foreign countries with any
certainty of delivery are: Norway
Dec. 8, Belgium, Dec. Is, Germany
Dec. 10, Sweden Dec. 8, Netherlands
Dec. II, Denmark Dec. 10, China Nov.
Is, Japan Dec. A, England Dec. II,
and Bermuda Dec. Is.
The postal department calls the at
tention of the public to a ruling
which directs that Christmas stamps
and special labels must be placed on
the opposite side Of the package from
that on which the address is placed.
The department will not dispatch
packages from this country which do
not comply with this order and if
sender's name is not available the
mail will be sent to the dead letter
office.

The Need of Christmas Buying

The Need of Christmas Buying
IT HE giving of Christmas gifts, this year, is of far
greater Importance than it has been at any time

that short-sghted individuals have urged that giving
be curtaed and that the money which ordinarily would
be spent be used instead to aid those who in need
Undoubtedly, there great many who come
under that class For months, the number of unem-
ployed has been steadily increasing which in turn has
decreased the publc's buying power, and strict
my has been urged except for actual necessities
The great need right is decided loosenng
of the purse strings by those who still employed
and able to buy.
At no time of the year is there such widespread
evidence of forgetfuness of self and consideration of

and this year. urge that the idea be carried out to
the greatest degree.
A brisk Christmas trade will create demand along
many lines and industries which have partially closed
down, will again open their doors and give work to
many of the unemployed
1t is rather interesting to think of the numbers
who could get employment right now if there

But the needy, who are in want because of lack of
employment need permanent help and that be
