Roberts of She!, by has received the following Christ mas message from Will It. Hays, postmaster general, which , message will be read in the public school in 'he hope that all patrons of the post ffices will follow the instruction and facilitate the handling of Christmas tails as much as possible! This mes age Is addressed to the boys and girls ind reads as follows: Christmas is almost here ' Your great Post Office Department . MS a pig joo aneau and needs your help. i Think what; it means to be Santa Clans to our 100,000,000 people and to deliver Christmas parcels to every Jamily in this great country within the short space of a few days and without disappointment. ' It can be done, and 'we're going to do it if we may have your help, I want to enlist the active assistance of every boy and girl fn the schools of our country in getting parcels mailed THIS WEEK to relieve the rush that comes directly before Christmas. Will you go' home' today . and take this message to your' parents and . riends: . ., . "Our , postmaster has asked as to mail our Christmas , parcels THIS WEEK, for, unless we do, Uncle Sam's load may be so heavy the last few days before Christmas that he wont Jbe able to deliver all the presents by Christmas eve." The 'parcels must be well wranoed and tied and addressed -plainly in . ord er that they may arrive in good con- iuon with their Christmas? appear- ance unsnoiled. Yon can nut nn n, packages, "Do not open until Christ mas." :- :. And, there must be a number on your house and a nvui receptacle, too, jot, u mere isn't, Santa CJaus's mes enger, your letter carrier, may not 'se able to find the house where the wesent belongs. ' , There are some other things, too, n which you can alt assist in improv ing the mail service and in saving our arrest Government millions of dollars a year that is nowVasted because of tur carelessness--yours and mine. Every day that you droD a letter in the mail box 40,000,000 other letters are already pushing and jamming through the postal machinery. One letter, a day for each family of five persons in the United States is eiv- n io uncie Kara to deliver. - "When you send a parrel to the post eJEee for mailing any day there" are abeut 8,000,000 other parcels ahead of jurs passing through the postal hopper,-This is in ordinary days; at Christmas time it is multiplied imany One family in about every ten puts badly addressed letter in the mail IL?68 with - the ,yw,vw raiiy dressed letter. This means that the fully addressed itven must wait on tjbe slow moving roorly addressed letters just like the larger boys and girls are delayed by bach of "bad kids- tagging along. ion boys and girls- can help the Festal Service and save your father some money because he has to help pay the cost of searching addresses n letters and parcels sent out h thu fine careless and thoughtless family every ten. , v . r -. , Fiirst find out if your' family is'the careless one, then bear fa mind that your letters must be bandied by skill ed mail distributors standing in" post' offices and on swaying postal cars of a snile-a-minute mail trains, often un fw foor light. , ;....,- . . T drec-es on every letter, card, ! -i package must be correct, complete, nd legible, including the house num cr and name of street,' and the From" address should be in the np- er left-hand corner so that the mail rill be returned to you, in, case it U not delivered. Do not abbreviate names of States, because so many look alike when abbreviated.. y'''' Put the proper amount of postage on your letters and wrap, the parcels carefully. Avoid fancy writing, which causes post-office - clerks - and letter carriers to stop and study, and thus lose time. Make the address plain and easily read, and always use pen' and ink er typewriter and f light-colored envelopes, so as to save the eye's of the post-office clerk. Do not use enve lopes, of unusual sue. The little ones that are so frequently used for cards and notes at Christmas and other hol iday times cause an untold amount of trouble and labor, as they will not fit our canceling machines 1 and must therefore be canceled, by hand, be cause of their sire and tendency to slip out of a package, these small envelopes are more likely to be over looked or lost ' ' ;;;; . " Mail your letters : and packages early in the day, because' this avoids overloading and delaying mail at the end of the day. ' . tt ! Your local postmaster ; and your teachers will tejl you; more about the Tostal Service. - : ' Do these things, and you will : ,win ' the rreatful appreciation of the peo- pie in your post office and especially of xt T Postmaster General. v " WILL JX.

' WANTS NATIONS TO . CONFER IN FUTURE President Hardias WaslA En voys to Discuss World Prob lems Of tea . ....', Adoption of a definite V. agreemt for future -meetings to discos werlt problems is hoped for by President Harding before the arms' conference ends. It was revealed that, although the President does not propose to in ad duce formally the subject tnto the ne gotiations here untD the naval and far eastern discussions have reached a a cision, he does expect that before tic delegates separate they will agree tin a -plan by which similar disctmsitrs will take place in the future. At the same time it was made known that in drafting the frame work of his plan the President endeavoring to avoid the impreasian that any resulting "association of na tions" might become a rival of the league of nations organized at Versa illes. In highest administration quar ters it was declared that Mr. Eardiii had no desire to interfere with tke league, and. hoped only to find a way by which the nations could be brought together for consultation in the com mon interest. To what detail the President's pro posal had been reduced was not re vealed, nor was it made known by what ' method the: subject would be brought formally before the arms con ference. On the ether hand, there were indications that even the informal aia eussions now proceeding with regard to the project wotild be subordinated as much as possible at the present rtage of the conference, and that fur ther information regarding it woiid be withheld until the' time is consW ered ripe for its formal submission. Until that time, too. administrate officials expect to refrain from ; eoii ment on the widespread speculation that the President's suggestions hw aroused. It is said to be the feeliflC of these officials that to keep the question in prominence now might i terf ere with the plan to keep the at tention of the conference centered wholly on the naval and far eastern problems until they are solved.
