CALLS
ATTENTION TO XMAS
MAIL REGULATIONS

Christmas is just around the
corner to families with relatives
stationed overseas with the armed
forces. Wilbur R. Dosher, postmas-
ter yesterday reminded the families
of Wilmington that now is the time
to begin thinking of mailing Christ
mas packages overseas.
Regulations regarding the mail
ing of packages overseas remain
the same as last year. Gifts must
bbe mailed in the period between
September Is and October Is. Dos
her pointed out that the postoffice
further wishes to remind families
with men or foreign duty that the
following regulations must be ah-
hered to; only one package a week
may be sent without request by
any one person to the same service
man, the usual restrictions as to
size and weight of the Christmas
parcel applies, namely not more
than fifteen inches long or more
than SO inches in length and girth
combined and maximum weight of
five pounds.
Gifts that are bbest appreciated
by the men are articles particular
ly suited to whatever particular
area they are assigned to. TIE
postoffice adds that introicants, in
fammable materials (such as
matches and lighter fluids) and
perishable mattre are unacceptable
for mailing.
Wilmington families and friends
of men stationed in the China
Burma theater, India theater, the
Middle East, or on the Pacific Is
lands are urged to avail themselves
of the early mailing data to insure
receipt of the gifts by Christmas
day. The period between Septe.1 l.
Der IS and October 1, has beben
designated to mail packages to
| these distant bases.
Finally, Mr.. Dosher adds that
the best way to insure speedy deli
very of the parcels is to make sure
that the address is correct, namely
rank, name, serial numb-r bransn
of service and organization, APO.

BRITAIN DESIRES.
FREEDOM OF PORT

LONDON, Sept. g. Up Com
petent sources said today the Brit
ish, confident of American back
ing, hoped to present to the forth
coming meeting of foreign min
listers here a plan for International
ization of Trieste which would en-
able land-locked central Europe to
use the city as free port.
Trieste apparently will be one OF
the main problems in the drafting
of an Italian peace treaty, which
is high on the agenda of the first
meeting of the Big Five's foreign
ministers next week.
In diplomatic circles it was said
the British seem determined to fol-
low the priority listing for the for
eign ministers as laid down al
Potsdam, and to take up the draft
ing of the Italian peace treaty first.
These sources believed Britain
would be firm in a refusal to give
to Yugoslavia any Italian territory
west of the Morgan Line - a
name given to the temporary from
tier drawn by the agreement be-
tween the Yugoslavs, British and
Americans this spring after Mar.
shall Tito was asked to withdraw
his troops from Trieste. The "Mor-
gan Line'' would leave Trieste on
the Italian side of the border.
The Italian peace treaty also
may encounter difficulties over the
future Of former Italian colonies in
Africa. Qualified observers here
say Britain has no desire to add
any of this territory to the Empire,
and there was a likelihood that a
trusteeship would be proposed, pos
sibly with the exception of a por.
ton of eastern Cyrenaica, which
might be turned over to Egypt.
If the Big Five foreign ministers
james F. Byrnes of the United
States, Ernest B evin, Britain.
Georges Bidault, France, v. M.
Molotov, Soviet Union, and Wang
Shih-Chieh. China - succeed in
drafting an agreement on the terms
of peace treaty with Italy, it
would be submitted to the United
Nations for scrutiny and possibly
might be signed within so days by
the Allies, foreign office sources
predicted.

message received here this morn
ing from Columbia, S. c., it was
learned that Douglas L. Edwards,

DELAY INDICATED
IN SERVICE PLAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. R -
Congressional leaders predicted
today that no immediate action
will be taken to combine the Army
and Navy into single department
of national defense.
There is strong congressional
support for such a plan, now in
the hanGs of the joint chiefs Of
staff.
But leaders in both the House
and Senate indicated that congress
has more important matters in
hand for the present. One senator
said it may be a year before the
matter is taken up. =s-
In addition congressman indicat.
ed that when the proposal does
come up it will bring on a major
battle with the Army and Navy
involved in lot of back-stage po-
lltical maneuvering.
A unified national defense de-
partment has been strongly en-
dorsed by the Army on. the
grounds that World War II, proved
the efficiency OF a unified COM
mand.
The Navy, however, feels that
since Army manpower is SO much
greater than that of the Navy, the
latter would be reduced to a sec
role in any future aA-in-
one military ganization.

that complete plans for a single

BY FRANK COLBY.
Mother ShiptOn.

The witch and prophecies, Mother
Shipton, supposed to have lived in
early Tudor times, is one of the
most sensational characters in Eng
lish legendary lore.
Whether she actually lived or not,
a rhymed Prophecy" attributed to
her, and made public in 1862, had
an extraordinary hold on the public
imagination.
The Prophecy, supposed to have
been written in 1448, predicted
among other things, the advent OF
the automobile: Carriages without
horses shall go, and accidents fill
the world with woe" Worldwide
broadcasting was foreseen: Around
the earth thoughts shall fly in the
twiinkling of an eye." Indeed, radio
waves do travel at the speed OF
light-186, 800 miles second, OF
around the earth in less than one
seventh Of a second"
The prediction, England shall at
last admit a Jew" was believed to
have foretold the appointment in
February, 1868, of Benjamin Dis
raeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, as prime
minister of England.
One version of Mother Shipton' S
Prophecy ended with: "The world
to an end shall come in eighteen
hundred and eighty-one!"
During that year, thousands were
thrown into a state of terror and
despair as they awaited the Day

HENEQUEN.
(AnnDe fo1LrcrO1des

tAgdDe JolTcTOy1eS.)
The war in the Pacific has ac-
celerated the need for fibers. Latin
America has answered the call by
increased production Of henequen, a
flber-producing plant.
Today Cuba is producing one-
eighth of the worlds supply of hene-
quen. Between $4,000 and 10000
acres were growing henequen in
1914 and this year more will be
grown. Mexico has some AS 900
acres in Campeche and Yucatan
growing all the other henequen.
Henequen is a plant. that is the
source of almost all the so-called
"sisal" of Cuba and Yucatan, bo-
tanically known as Agave four
croydes. But the true sisal plant,
A. sisalana, is grown in East Africa,
the Netherlands Indies and Haiti.
Henequen is not difficult to plant,
grow or harvest. Flowing is not re-
ouired. Holes 4 to 41a feet deep
are dug in rows to feet apart.
A henequen hijo, or sprout, is put
in each hole. From the top of the
sprout grow long, green, rapier-like
leaves. AS new leaves appear the
older ones are forced more and more
from a vertical position. The lower
leaves are harvested first. Grad
ually a trunk develops, like that of
palm. During the II years of pro-
duction the henequen natures a
pole" or stem. Then pale yellow
blossoms arrive. Rope producing is
over. All remaining leaves are
stripped and the plant dies.
Henequen is fabricated into thread
mats. bagging, ropes. canvas and
many other needs. The pulp. OF
bagasse, is very acid Copper, bronze
or brass machinery must be usec
where the pulp is contacted.
