PRESENTS CROWD MAILS
PARCEL POST BECOMES CHIEF AID
OF KANT A IX PORTLAND.
Another High Mark for Pounds of Mat
ter Handled by Loral Postoffice Set
and Gain la Condoning.
Portland people are taking to the
parcel post as a means of transmitting
their Christmas packages like the well
known duck does to the equally well
known water.
Not many of the things that make
up the bulk of the Christmas sending
are in the non-admissible class, so that
Uncle Sam has become in a single year
Santa Claus' right-band man Instead
of sharing the honor of being one of his
chief aids with the express companies.
as in former years.
The parcel post stations established
in the department stores are proving
popular. Buyers make their selections
of Christmas goods, see them wrappea
by an expert, write the addresses on
the Dackages. insure them and see them
safely mailed, all without leaving the
store.
One mail wagon was kept busy yes'
terday collecting the parcel post pack'
aces and delivering them to the ter
mlnal station at Fifth and Glisan
streets, where they were sorted and,
to some extent, packed in the sacks so
as to insure their safe shipment.
This wagon took up 125 sacks of
such packages, and, despite the oft-repeated
warning- to do your Christmas
shopping early, the real Chri3tmas
shopping rush has not yet begun.
In suite of the fact that there has
been little alteration in the equipment
of the local Postoffice since the parcel
post went into effect, the rush of new
business is being handled without seri
ous inconvenience, and Postmaster
Myers declares that there will be little
trouble in taking care ol the situation
"The postoffice department will dem
onstrate that lt can take care of what
ever business is given it," ho said yes
terday, "and when another holiday sea
son rolls around, with the experience
we are now getting, we will be much
better prepared to cope with the new
conditions and problems presented by
the parcel post" -
Thursday's high-water mark of 225,
000 pounds of outgoing mail was ex
ceeded yesterday when approximately
232.500 pounds of matter mailed in
Portland was handled. It Is predicted
that the record will be broken every
day until Christmas.
HAZELWOOD CASE IS OFF
Commissioner Mickle Loses Batter
Suit Against Cream Company. -
At the conclusion of the hearing yes
terday afternoon Judge Jones dismissed
the case against the Hazelwood com
pacy by State Food and Dairy Com
missioner Mickle in which the company
was charged with Importing butter
into the state without making the
proper reports to the office of the Food
and Dairy Commissioner.
"I find that there is no evidence of
fcuy intent of the company to disobey
the law," said Judge Jones. "The in
formation desired by Commissioner
Mickle was compiled and forwarded
to him before the complaint was served
by htm, and I believe the results Mr.
Mickle wished to obtain have been
broucrlit about.'
Judge Jones did not allow the Com
missioner to present any evidence tend
ing to show the quality or condition of
the butter, holding that the complaint
which charged the company witn tail
ing to make the required report, did
not comprennena tne quality oi me uui.

demands are coming from those under
misfortune. "Joe," the crippled pencil
seller, who has been on the streets for
some months, received his Christmas
nresent yesterday in the form or an
artificial leg, which will make it pos
sible for him to go to work once more
at his trade as a cook. The leg was
given him by clerks at Ladd & Tilton's
Bank, who took up a collection oi
necessary.
Relief Fund Growing.
Joe was in the office of the Associat

young men at the bank and Jubilating
over the nrosDect of getting off the
streets and into a self-supporting joo
in a little while.
So raDid has been the Increase in
the Christmas relief fund in the past
three days that it appears as tnougn
the total will reach 13000 by Christ
mas. This money is going partly to
meet immediate need of the pre-holl-
day period, partly for Christmas cheer
and largely for the assistance or oes
titute families during the Winter
months following Christmas.
There are hundreds of cases in the
care of the Associated Charities such
as the few that are given here, which
will be cared for out of tne Christmas
relief fund.
Case 24 Husband Ia Blind.
A woman 5 years old has to earn
the nrlnuinal Dart of the living since
her husband became. blind and .unable
to workv There is a girl about IS
years old, who earns a little, but the
principal burden is on tne snouiuers oi
the "mother.
The woman is not able to go out to
work, since she must care for the
blind man, so she acts as a day nurse
for babies of women who find It nec
essary to leave their children tem
porarily In the care of others during
the day. In a letter to the Associated
Charities, the woman spoke hopefully
of the future, but said that at present
they are very poor and asked that
something might be sent to make
Christmas a little bit more cheery.
Case 23 Children Are III.
Two children in a family of eight
are sick with the measles, there Is in
sufficient food, and not proper medical
attention: the father Is out of work

and food and clothing are an urgent
want. Rent Is behind. Fuel and other
supplies are required. The woman is
not able to work out because of the
necessity to care for her eight children.
The eldest child is 14 and the youngest
Is a baby only a few months old.

Five children look forward to Christ
mas with hopes that Santa Claus will
bring them something that their hearts
desire. They are little things the two
girls In the family and their wants
are simple. Dolls or hair ribbons or In
expensive toys will mean the difference
between disappointment and happiness
for them on Christmas. There is a boy

mother is a widow and the income is
too small to meet more than the sheer
necessities of life.
Case 27 Widow's Children Hungry.
A Christmas dinner, supplies of the

Furniture la Good, Too.
"The work done by your girls is per
fectly wonderful; they show excellent
training in all branches of the art of
millinery, and we would like to employ
some of your pupils in the coming sea
son." This was the criticism of two
of the leading milliners of the city
when they had examined the hats, caps
and other creations shown yesterday
at the exhibition held in the School
of Trades, Fourteenth and Morrison
Under the direction of Miss -ucie
Schmit and her assistants. Miss Grace
Funston and Mrs. M. Walker, the girls
of the millinery department have
learned to make hats frame, shape and
all including flowers and butterflies.
The styles of various periods .are
studied and their application to present
day use made. Color combinations,
choice of materials, dyeing, renovating,
economy in making over oiu nats'iuiu
new and all the arts and devices of
the professional and the home milliner
are taught to the girls, who are thus
a. . mfltiA their own hats or have
a trade at which they can earn a liv
ing. The sewing of furs ana tne maa-
intr of collarettes ana rurs are aiso
taught.
Dainty breakfast caps, irencn ana
Dutch caps, in fact, caps of every kind
and color were snown in me caiuuiu
Dolls' hats were numerous, many of
them, having been fashioned for little
sisters' dolls. Baoys Donnets were in
great favor, and artistic fancy work
for mothers' gifts were an important
feature. The girls enjoy their work.
and are looking forward to tne next
term when they will learn further of
the mysteries of their delightful craft-
Another exhibit of the handiwork of
school children was held at Vernon
School on Thursday night. Besides the
regular school work, including papers
on various subjects, the departments
of manual training and sewing showed
examples of their industries.
The girls had dainty articles that
they had designed and made, and every
apron, hand bag or bit of lingerie was
fashioned with remarkable ability.
The furniture for the community
house attracted much attention and fa
vorable comment. The boys have rftade
the articles substantial and in good
taste. The house, 999 East Twenty
fourth street North, will be maintained
on an economical basis, and will serve
to demonstrate to the pupils practical
housekeeping and economy. The plan
is being worked out by Principal Parker
and his staff of teachers, and the house
will be ready for use next month.

Tango Frocks Shown. j
The Tango, the Tango! Even in the i
Christmas giving the dance Is consid

ular dance are among the most suitable
presents for the debutante and the so
ciety belle. One of the most beautiful
tango gowns shown is built along
Grecian lines of pure white heavy crepe
with tango pleating to allow of just
as much "kick" as is needed and-the
bodice in V. clear to the waistline. The
girdle and sash of emerald green chif
fon make a striking contrast.
Another beautiful dancing frock that
Is to be the property of some fortunate
girl is of white net with brassiere ef

rosebuds. The butterfly ruching and
bow at the back make it distinctive.
Gowns of golden-hued velvet and
gowns of delicate shades- of silks,
waists of every description, all make
