Post Office Prepares
 For Christmas Rush
Holiday Business Will Necessitate Employment of 100
 "Extras" Substitutes Favored

About 100 persons will be given employment at the post office dur ing the Christmas holidays, in ad- dition to the regular postal force, it was estimated today by Post master James T. Kelley. The rush this year is expected by post office department officials to reach the highest volume of mail since 1928 and 1929. 4s
 Most of those who will be em- ployed, according to the postmas- ter, are those who already have applications in for regular post office jobs and are listed on the office records as substitutes. Their number is so high in Waterbury that is will be possible to employ only a few outsiders to help in handling the Christmas mail.
 Preference For "Subs''
 Substitutes, according to the postmaster, have~very little oppor- tunity for even small part-time work during the year, hence they are given the preference during the holidays. They are also favored, says Postmaster Kelley, because most of them have some post of flee experience and will be able to do their work well and expedit- iously.
 Those hired from outside the post office ranks will be needy war veterans and others deserving of the posts. From Washington the order has come that veterans and relief cases are, to be given the preference in alloting any addi- tional Christmas iObs which the postmaster has at his command. Business Increase The extra help hired for the hol- idays will work from periods rang ing from None or two days to sev- eral days or a week. Their as- sistance is found necessary be- cause, of the fact that volume of mail usually increases about 200 per cent over that of the ordin- ary times. Bulk and package mail, more difficult to handle, usually shows the largest jump in volume.

 But on the stairs she tainted and fell to the bottom How long she lay there she does not know. When she regAined con sciousness she was unable to rise. Draw ing herself along the floor, she reached the telephone cord, pulled the instrument off a table, dialed Operator and sue ceeded in asking for number before fainting again.
 Telephone Operator Julia CrowelI rang the desired number again and again, re- ceived no answer. She tried to report this to Mrs. Bailey. No answer there either,

Bronchial Troubles Need Creomulsion

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is new medical discovery with two-fold ac- tion; it soothes and heals the in famed < membranes and inhibits germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical author ities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, and attacks the seat of the trouble.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satis- factory in the treatment of persist ent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma. bronchitis, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Your own druggist is authorized to refund your money on the spot If your cough or cold is not relieved by Creomulsion. adv,

 Naturally President Roosevelt is Americas chief news personality so far as Germany is concerned Run ming him a close second is Senator William Borah, whose activities are followed closely here because his strictures against the Versailles treaty include criticisms of the Polish Corridor scheme.
 Interested in Liquor News
 Americas liquor situation, too, has attracted attention, with Ger man vintners and distillers welcom- ing the additional markets created by repeal but bemoaning the fall of the dollar, which tended to give German exporters a lower price for their goods.
 Track athletics and boxing hold the center of American sports news for Germany, largely because of Max Schmeling.

GERMANS HOLD s POLICY AS
 BIG NEWS
EDITORS NOTE: This is the seventh of series of eight daily articles telling in what American institutions and cus- toms foreign peoples chiefly are interested.
By TOM WILHELM

BERLIN, Feb. 15.- The Ameri- can dollar has become a, star per former on Germany's news stage.
 Because of their own experiences with imitation, Germans read eag- erly of the United States monetary moves, and they are most interest ed in the inflationary aspects.
 Save for stories of catastrophes little foreign news is printed in Germany, but articles on American money manipulation are given a good deal of attention.
 Change Description of America
 Since the dollar was pushed off the gold standard, German news editors have altered their appella- tion for America. It used to be the land of 'boundless possibilities. " Now it is the former land of boundless possibilities"
 Some writers caution Germans to withhold judgment of the Roose- welt monetary policy, declaring that sAncri@l'i supply of Gold is such as to pc-,it her to chamber back ar2srl tt7 gold standard wagon over risas at the dsvalued dollar spg'ce.
 Poli ',sl writers make capital out of .t'ls ia'latiol theories in Ameri- 5ca. ghe r., ehtauseabe wrote:
