Washington, Fell. 11. A bill to reg

gerous articles has been introduced in
the senate by Senator Clapp of Minne
sota. The measure, intended as an
amendment to the criminal code,
would require that all packages con

for kiU-rtatc r-hipnient be marked

The mail order business of the Hon
Marche, especially since the Inaugu
ration of the parcel post system, has
assumed such proportions that it hits
boon found necessary to create a sep
arate department and to give it In
dividual quarters. Notwithstanding
the store is one of the newest mercan
tile establishments in the city, the
management is instituting extensive
improvements in order to keep pace
with Ihe increase In patronage and to
show the goods to the best advantage.
Most of these improvements are about
complete. The idea of the manage
ment seems to be to keep up with or
a little ahead of the times.
The mail order department is on
the third tloor, partitioned off from
the rest of the room. In this is an
"addressograph." Thousands of name
plates of customers oi possible cus
tomers are kept for this machine and
advertising is sent out all over the
western part of the state. The store
is now sending out maps showing the
various "zones" and explaining the
details of the parcel post system.

kin stated to the board that he called
at the postofTlce early yesterday morn
ing and asked for all special delivery
and registered mail let himself or the
city, thinking that some of the bids
might have come in at a late hour.
He then instructed one of the officiuls
that If anything came before noon,
either as special delivery or registered
mail, to see that It was delivered at
City hall Immediately. He was in
formed that no more mails would ar
rive before noon carrying registered
mail.
Mayor Rankin said that he thought
t'len that every precaution had been
i f on against the late arrival of the
bid and the opinion of the corpora
tion counsel was asked. .Mr. Glenn
stated that ho thinks the city can
show itseir to be thoroughly free of
any blame in the matter, and further
that he does not believe that the
Langley company will lake any steps
towanl enjoining the sab'. He thinks
that they must realize Ib.tl Ihey can
do nothing legally.
It was finally derided to write to
the company fully, reciting to them

tion of the trophies of thie season will
be made an event to be remembered.
This celebration Is all that remains
of the present basket ball season as
the games scheduled by the associa
tion picked tejim have all been played
and the season is closed. There would
have been one other game between the
locals and Charlotte if the latter had
not admitted that the Asheville boys
are the state champions. It was
thought, therefore, by the manage
ment that the season had as well he
closed as it would be too expensive to
arrange other games this late in the
year.
The team has been very successful
this year, winning the state champion
ship again and taking all the big
game played on the local court. The
championship or the south Tmd to bo
abandoned on account of lack of funds
to push the campaign. There Is not
a local fan that doubts that the Ashe
ville boys could have won It If they
had gone after it. Altogether, any
way, they consider the season to have
leen a success.
