Wlckes. noted trafflo ex pert, will arrive In Greensboro today to study trafflo conditions In this city, especially as relates to street cars, and to maRa recommendations to the olty government In regard to handling of street cars. Colonel Wlckes will be In ths city for three days and will go over the situation thoroughly for the city. wnicn is defraying the necessary ex penss for ths survey. Especially will he consider the problem facing the city government In regard to the car tracks on South Elm street. City of flcials state that It is their belief that one of the two tracks now on the street can be removed without affect ing the handling of passengers by the Public Service company. However. ths street car people have stated that the opinion of experts In their employ is that ths removal of one of the tracks will be impractical. Another matter to be considered is whether or not two tracks will be placed in ths underpass under ths new passenger station. Hers, too, the city thinks one track will handle the traf no while the Publlo Servlos oompany wants two tracks. The entire problem will be eonsld ered from the standpoint of trafflo conditions in ths futurt as well as at the present time. It Is renllsed that sometime, perhaps, even In the life time of people now living, Elm street will be paved and when the pavement la laid olty officials do not want to have to tear the street up either to place another track thereon or to take one up. The suggestion made ssvaral weeks ago that part of the street car traffic could be diverted to other streets par atlet-to-Elm street will also be ron sldered In the survey mads by Colonel MRS. D. M.

Tells Them to Inform Parents Christmas Packages Must Be Mailed Now. GIVES FULL INSTRUCTIONS Will Hays, the postmaster general. In his characteristic style, Is carrying his Christmas troubles to ths boys and girls of ths United States. He has ad dressed the following message to the young folk: "Our postmaster has asked us to mall our Christmas parcels this week, for nless we do. Uncle Sam's load may be so heavy the last few days before Christmas that he won't be able to de liver all the presents by Christmas eve. Following the message Mr. Hays has the following to say about parcels and ther mall matter: 'The parcels must be well wranued and tied and addressed plainly In or der that they may arrive In good con Itlon with their Christmas appear- ance unspoiled. You can put on your packages 'Do not open, until Chris- mas.' "And there must be a number on your house and a mall receptacle, too, for,1 If there lsn t, Santa Claus' mes senger, your letter carrier, may not be ble to find the houas where the pres ents belong. There are some other things which you can all ansiat in Improving the mall service and In saving our great government million of dollars a yeai that is now wasted because of our carelessness yours and mine. . Every day that you drop a letter In the mail box 40,000,000 other letters are already , pushing and - jammtnx through the postal machinery. On etter a day for each family of five per sons In the United States Is given to Uncle Sam to deliver. 'When you send a parcel to the post- ffice for mailing any day there are about 1.000,000 other parcela ahead of yours passing through the postal hop per. This Is In ordinary days, at Christmas time it is multiplied many times. "You boys and girls can help the postal service and savs your father somo money, because he has to help pay the cost of searching addresses on letters and paroela sent out by one careless and thoughtless family. First find out If your family la the careless one, then bear In mind that your lettera must bs handled by skilled mall distributors standing In post offices and on swaying postal cars of mlie-a-mlnuts trains, often under poor light. The address on every letter, card or package must be correct, complete and legible, -Including the house number snd name of street, and the 'from' address should bs In the upper left hand corner so that the mall will be returned to you in case It is not de llvered. Do not abbreviate names of states because so many look alike when so abbreviated. Put ths proper amount of postage on your letters and wrap the parcels carefully. Avoid fancy writing, which causes postofflcs clerks and letter car riera to stop and study, and thus lose time. Make the address plain and easily read, and always use pen and Ink or typewriter and light-colored envelopes, so as to aavs the eyes of ths postofflcs clerks. Do not use envelopes of unusu al size. The little ones that are frequently used for cards and notes at Christmas or other holiday times cause an untold amount of trouble and labor, aa they will not fit our cancelling ma chines and must therefore be cancelled by hand, Mall your letters and packages early In the day because this avoid; overloading and delaying mall at the end of the day."
