Christmas Mail
Dates Are Set AS
Sept. 15-Oct. Is

The Christmas mailing season for
army and navy overseas forces this
year will be from September is to
October Is. the same as last year,
Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker announces. Citizens plan
ming to mail Christmas packages
to men overseas are urged to
save strong string and box mater
ial and to start to plan shopping
now"
The response our people made
last year during the overseas mail
ing period demonstrated that they
will cooperate in any measure
designed for the welfare of our
armed forces personnel" Postmas-
ter General Walker says. 1T is not
easy to concentrate on Christmas
gifts in the midst of warm weather
here at home but our people recog-
nized the need, and because they
want the men and women who are
absent from their homes to know
they are not forgotten at Christ
mas, they took pains to assure
prompt delivery of Christmas gifts.
Il know that our people will OBJ
serve the overseas mailing schedule
once more this year but do wish
to stress this fact: More care must
be taken in wrapping and packing
parcels securely and addressing
them clearly and correctly.
IF the goods are to be protected
in transit they must be packed in
boxes made of metal, wood solid
fiberboard, or strong faced
corrugated fiberboard, reinforced
with strong gummed paper tape or
tied with strong Irvine. If both tape
and strong Irvine are used, so much
the better"

5teeIs and Rails Lead
General Retreat
On Stock Market
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press financial writer

NEW YORK. Feb. 2o.-The stock
market today finished leap-year
February with q general downward
shift, led by steels and rails.
The retreat was largely Of 4
technical nature. The fact the In
dustrial average had failed to dupli-
cate the rise Of the carriers and
utilities to peaks for the past year
or longer caused the tightening OF
commitments on the idea = good
sized reaction was q possibility.
Some customers stood aside to await
more important war developments
and further domestic political
trends. Dividends and earnings
still served as props for individual
favorites.
The list began to back water after
a fairly steady start and losses run
ming to point or more were wide
spread by midday. These were re-
duced in most cases near the close
and few gamers were in evidence.
Dealings quickened at intervals.
Transfers for the full proceedings
were around 100000 shares.
Southern Railway directors voted
81 disbursement on the common
and the stock revived moderately
but failed to get ahead. Conspicu-
Gus casualties included United
States Steel, Bethlehem. Santa Fe
Great Northern, Atlantic Coast Line
American Distilling stamped" East
ern Airlines, Douglas Aircraft and
United Aircraft.
Tops for 1914 were scored by En-
gineers' Public Service, Delaware &,

sistant also we're pepsi Cola, Texas
