address a letter to the Bonus

By THE BONUS EDITOR
Here's tip for veterans or any
one else desiring to obtain in
formation from the Bonus Editor
Of The Washington Times:
Write your question and send
it through the mails.
The reason is that questions can
be answered only in this way.
Telephone inquiries or personal
calls cannot be accommodated.
Hence, to save time and trouble,
it's best to start off on the right
foot and use Uncle Sans postal
facilities rather than a nickel for
a telephone call or the well-known
shank'5 mare.
Reason for Advice
This advice is given today be-
cause of an increase in disap-
pointed readers who have both
cred themselves to visit the office
Of The Times in person, or to at
tempt vainly to get information
over the phone.
One of the reasons for an avoid
ance Of these practices is the fact
that technical points often occur
in the queStionS-technical points
must be answered unofficially and
perhaps incorrectly if the data
must be given on the spur of the
moment. When the question oc-
ours in a letter, the bonus editor
has time to search for authorita-
tive data
In the average case, a letter is
answered the same day it arrives.
The sender receives a reply the
third day after he mails his letter.
This service is undoubtedly quick
enough in practically every case.
How To Get Reply
To insure a prompt reply, en-
close a stamped, sef-addresSed en-
velope with your letter. This will
assure you Of rapid service.
Anonymous letters cannot be
answered. About 20 letters to which
no name is signed are now on
hand. If the senders will write
again, giving their names, they
will obtain answers quic ky
through the mail.

PROSPERITY NOTE
TO BRING IN 1887
New Year Celebrations May
Outdo All Previous Ones
in U. s. History
Bx the Associat ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 31.-A
note of prosperity was in the air to-
day as the Nation ushered another
OLD year toward its exist and went
gayly about preparations to sound q
rousing welcome for the new year
tonight.
From coast to coast there were
reports indicating the arrival Of 1887
would witness a New Year eve cele-
bration perhaps unparalleled in the
country's history.
The more populous centers expected
record turnouts for parties more
numerous and elaborate than in previ-
GUS years.
There was feverish activity on
Broadway as the major dosnos Of en-
tertainment strained every effort to
provide New Yorkers with newer and
noisier fun.
Prices ranged slightly upward In
most cases above the levels of a year
ago, but hotels. theaters and night
clubs experienced rush for reser-
vations that promised a sell-out Of
space, even with the increased &C
comodations provided.
Times Square merchants boarded up
their windows as protection against
the press of the crowd that gathers
there traditionally. Police made ar
rangements to handle an outpour-
ing Of q million or more persons In
the midtown area.
The New York Times estimated the
cost Of New York's party may run
we'll above $4,000 OO0."
New York and Chicago night spots
we're prepared to entertain patrons
until well into the morning with
breakfasts free in some places to those
who stay that long. Extra supplies OF
liquor and cordials were laid in.
Neighborhood liquor stores reported
booming sales presaging a wide con-
sumption of festive spirits" and q
possible bumper crop of morning
after ills.
Entertainment prospects ranged
from the fiamboyant girl shows on
Broadway to a full-rigged circus under
canvas in Park avenue hotel.
The annual watch-night services in
the great cathdrals and churches pro-
| vided a more sober note that will ap-
peal to thousands who will see the new
year in quietly.

confession in the Lindbergh baby
kidnapping. and then brought to New
Jersey. Investigation Of the Com
fession" delayed for three days the

mann for the crime.
