OVERSEAS MAIL
ING OF CHRIST
MAS PARCELS

Mailing Of gifts for Army and
Navy personnel overseas must begin
by September Is, if many of the men
and women in our armed services
are not to be disappointed.
Christmas gifts may be mailed Dy
marcel post to Army men and women
overseas only between September
Is and October Is. After the latter
date, such parcels may not be mall
ed unless a written request from the
soldier for the article is presented
with each parcel. No soldier should
have to ASK for Christmas gift;
so gifts must be mailed on time. The
Navy also urges that gifts be mailed
between September 15 and OCTOBER
15.
Reasons for the early mailing
dates are: The vast distances tnat
the parcels must travel to reach men
at war fronts and stations the world
over; frequent transfers OF thou-
sands of men from one location TO
another, which means forwarding
of the mail and consumes additional
time; the necessity for giving pre-
ference to reinforcements, arms, mu-
nitions, medicine, and food in allot-
ment of shipping space, which Of
ten means that the shipments OF quits
must wait. And it is most urgent
that gifts be delivered to the men
IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, to
keep their spirits high
The only way to insure against
disappointment for the fighting men
is to buy at once and mail early
mail your gifts as soon as posslpie
after the September Is starting
date.
Rules for Christmas mailings to
the fighting forces overseas were
made public in June for the guidance
of early shoppers. They include:
The parcel must not exceed five
pounds, and must not be more than
Is inches in length or 36 inches in
length and girth combined. 1t should
be marked Christmas parcel SO
that it may be given special atten-
ton to assure it's arrival before De-
cember 25.
Not more than one parcel may be
mailed in any one week to the same
member of the armed forces by or
in behalf of the same mailer.
The parcel must be we'll and
strongly packed, in a contalner OF
metal, wood, strong fiber board, OF
similar material, then wrapped in
strong paper and tied with twine.
The cover should be such that it can
be opened readily for censorship. The
contents should be packed tightly.
Perishable goods, such as fruits
that may spoil, are prohibited. IN
toxicants, inflammable materi
such as matches or lighter fluids,
poisons, and anything that may dam
age other mail also are prohibited.
Gifts enclosed in glass should be sub
stantially packed to avoid breakeage.
Sharp instruments such as razors
and knives, must have their edges
and points protected so that they can
not cut through the coverings and
injure postal personnel or damage
other packages.
Since the armed forces are Delng
plentifully supplied with food and
clothing, the Army and Navy recon-
mend against these as gifts.
Addresses must be written clear
ly and completely. In addition to the
return address of the sender, par
eel for an Army man should show
the name, rank, Army serial number,
branch of service, organization, Ar
my post Office number, and name OF
post Office through which the parcel
is routed.

if you don't mind, I'd like to get out

The morning few by in con-
tinuous rush Of urgent work. At
noon, Jean ate with Lands and met
some Of the engineers and super
intendents, a serious, Woodworking,
youngish group of men.

At six o'clock, Lands reluctantly
stopped debating. AS Jean closed
her notebook, he shot her an apollo
getic grin. Glad for your sake to-
morrow's Sunday" he said. Give
you a chance to get your breath
and brace yourself for the long pull
we've got next week" He took her
through some Of the plant, told her
something Of the finer technical

said. Everything should be ready
to roll about the same time--that
is, II all goes as well as it did on
paper"
1T will, I'll bet" Jean murmured.
From the way he had handled each
emergency this first day, Jean
found herself feeling a high conf
dence in this eager, driving young
man. Aren't you going home
now ?" she added as he said goodby
at the door.
He grinned a little sheepishly

CHAPTER FOUR
"BUENOS DIOS!"

Jean turned her head on the pill
low TO blink against the bright
Mexican sunlight. No familiar vista
of chaise Tongue and tulle Grapes
met her sleep-dulled gaze, but the
enormous figure Of her landlady
waddling across the tiny. grayish-
pink plaster room, a bright-flow-
cred lacquer tray in her hands
you -leepa good, Ell ," she beamed
triumphantly. ut is the, time you
say should bringa da coffee, yes"
Jean glanced at her watch, then
slipped into robe and slippers with
guilty speed. The Mexican woman
put down the tray and brought her
a towel, sly grin creasing her fat
cheeks as she watched Jean battle
her face. You lika da serenade
last night, yes?" she said jovially
She moved about the room, arrang-
ing the tray on the bedstand as an
excuse to watch Jeans swift dress
ing.
Who was that man ," Jean slid
her blue French linen frock over
her head. pulled the narrow belt
esound her slim waist.
The Mexican womans bulk ouiv-
cred with mirth. Dat Curley, de
crazee Americana He work leetle
on de beeg Rancho Gasoline, but
most tink he make fun in da
town. All ia girls" she rolled her
eyes in roguish ecstasy, "dey love
dat Curley"
Jean set down her coffee cup with
a disguised bang. He sounds like
splendid citizen" she cried scorn-
fully. Any full-grown American
who hasn't anything better to do
this year than-'make fun in the
town Is moron. An infantile
moron!| She ran out, slamming the
door in the surprised face Of the
landlady. Lands had put the COM
pany station wagon at her disposal
temporarily. and as she drove 1t
now over the bunny dirt road be-
tween the sun-bathed guayule
fields. she was uncomfortably con-
scious Of her stin heavily humping
heart. She refused to dwell on the
cause Of her violent anger because
she knew it was only one thing
disappointment that the bold.
black-eyed, gay serenader was
worthless firt!
The incident was forgotten fast
enough once she reached the plant
though. and Steve had shown her

and her smaller cubicle adjoining
