Despite Great Increase in Traf fic, New Operating System Re sults in Avoiding Congestion. . . Despite the necessity of handling during this before-Chrlstma season express freight far In excess of nor mal, the Charlotte office of the rail way express has succeeded, so far in avoiding any congestion and the like lihood that the qflantlty of Incoming freight, will exceed delivery facilities has passed, according to Information obtajnett yesterday from the office of W. 8. Halt, agent. , The prospect late yesterday was that the warehouses would.be ""in pretty rood shape today, it is explained. Exclusive ' of government shipments and packages to and from soldiers, it was declared that the freight this season ia almost double the quantity handled during normal pre-war sea sons. Though about 0.000 soldiers were quartered at Camp Greene last winter, the quantity of freight handled this Christmas has been about equal to that handled during he 117 sea son. . A new svsesa- of handling freight was declared largely responsible for the prompt despatch of local ship ments and the prompt delivery of In coming frelehL The delivery facili ties also are much greater this year-) than in the past ,thl office having yesterday 15 trucks engaged in trans porting freight. Fifteen motor truck loads of boxes and packages were delivered Sunday, which also was a factor in preventing an accumulation during the day which would have been sufficient to cause congestion. This office has not exper ienced labor troubles during this rush season, It was stated, and almost all employes holding the more responsible positions who have been sick have returned to worfc.

Green, of 815 West Bland street, was awakened about 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning by angry barking of the watchdog. Hearing noises in the rear of the house, she slipped quietly" over to the home of Mrs. R. O. Hlgglns, next door, taking her girl-child along in her arms. Soon after arriving there one of Mrs. Hlg glns' children ran screaming from her room, 'saying "a man was peeping through the unshaded window," In the alleyway, she noting that the man had his hand shading his eyes to see clearly into the darkened room. Mrs. Green opened a window and fired a plstolshot into the air. When all was quiet, an investigation showed that the probable burglar, or maybe a Peeping Tom, had made friends i with the dog, unfastened the lattie door to the plazaa and locked up the canine. Nothing about either house has been missed. Mr. Green has a telephone for pro tection, but in the excitement Mrs. Green forgot all about "88," police headquarters. Besides, she says, "the shriek of women and children has a telephone call beat 40 different ways for defensive purposes."
