THE.'fiUXDAY OREG03PIA3T. . PORTLAND, DECEMBER 21, 1913. 16 UNSELFISH SPIRIT MUCH ElEfJC E On Every Hand Time, Energy and Money Go Ahead in Charitable Work. PRISONERS NOT PASSED UP "Goodies" for Neglected as. Well as edjr Being Prepared as Christ mas Orferlng rians Made for Cbcerlngr tho Orphans. With all the rush of Christmas preparations for the family dinners, re unions and parties, the Institutions are pot being forgotten. Unselfish men and women are devoting time and energy and their best thought to the planning of the dinners and festivities for the poor, the shut-in and the neglected vnes. The prisoners will not be left out, either, for kind-hearted women are pro. Tiding baskets of cakes, fruit, candles and other "goodies" for all who are occupying the Jails. The message of Christmas cheer may mean much, may make an appeal to these men and wom en that nothing else could Inspire. The members of the Junior League will pro vide a large number of these baskets. The young women of the organization are assisting in the work that Mrs. Millie Trumbull outlined. The mem bers of the Portland Woman's Club are also among those who are contributing to the prisoners' baskets. The People's Institute will be remem bered by the tots of Miss Matthews' kindergarten. The little lads and lassies of the school will hare a Christ mas tree at which they will receive a little candy for themselves, but the trreat event of the day will be the col lection of the gifts for the other chil dren the boys and girls who have little of the world's favors. Miss Matthea s has given her little pupils lessons In the life of the Christ child and has Im pressed upon them the lesson that the Joy of giving is the greatest of all the Jovs of Christmastlde. The Christmas trees for the children ef the Institutions are claiming the attention of a busy band of workers, including members of the People's In stitute, members of church societies and various organizations. A brightly lighted tree, dazzling in lis gorgeous trimming of tinsel and orumrnti. will attract 550 children to the South Portland branch of the Peo ple's Institute tomorrow night. Santa 'laus will be there to see his little friends, and there will be candy and a good time for all. The parents will accompany the little folks and share In the festivity. On Tuesdav night, the Albina branch of the institute will have its grand, party and tree. The headquarters are fsr too small to accommodate the large crowd that is expected and the hall of the Sharer school will be the scene or the Christmas tree. Preparations will be made for 300 guests. The Patton Home will have a Christ mas tree and programme on Tuesday. The 80 youngsters of the home will all be remembered. The Baby Home will have a tree for the mites pf humanity who took part In the "Cuddle-l'ps' " chorus of Jappy ln.i will decorate the tree. Rattles, dolls and linen picture books will be appropriate for this affair. The Children's Home will not be for gotten. On Wednesday the boys and girls will have a tree with a pro gramme of songs and recitations and a general jollification. Mrs. Matlock, the matron, and her assistants are plan ning a number of surprises for the children, and the Toung People's So ciety of the First Presbyterian Church will go out to the home and give a programme and some little gifts. On Christmas day all the Institu tions and homes will have a big din ner and if the good work of the friends of the organization Is kept up. there will be enough for everyone. The Toung People s Society of the White I Temple will give the Christmas entertainment at the Boys' and Girls Aid Society. Several other churches will sing carols and otherwise enter tain the children and the old people who make these institutions their homes. These songs and. recitations will be especially appreciated by the old people who are unable to get out. Tn the various homes for elderly per sons the sweet old songs of the Christ mas tide will find appreciative audi ences. At the Multnomah County farm such visitors will find a hearty wel come. The Junior Police of the Junior Gov ernment will help the Associated Char 'ties and the People's Institute In the distribution of Christmas baskets for the poor. The boys are enthusiastic In the work and delighted to have the opportunity to help. PERSONALMENTION. Mrs. Charles A. Glos. of Corvallls, Is at the Carlton. O. J. Iswald. of Mount Angel.

EXPRESS TRAFFIC SUFFERS HEAVILY Volume of Christmas Trade to Date Said to Be Only Half That of Former Years. WIDE REVISION EXPECTED Public Service Commissions to Regu late Intrastate Rates on Inter state. Basis and Heavier Goods May Be Carried. , Christmas business at the express of fices in Portland has decreased 60 per cent since last year, due to the opera tion of the" parcel post. - -While the express offices were pre pared for a heavy loss, they did not expect it to be - so great. They bad made their usual arrangements in ad vance to handle within 20 per cent ot the usual volume of Christmas traffic. Xow they find that some of the extra help and much of the extra equip ment are not needed. Up to the present time the Christ mas business has been limited to pack ages going to distant states. When t)i local business starts to move next week the. loss will be even more severe, they fear. "A peculiarity about a lot of our pa trons this year." said A. E. Muncey, general agent for Wells-Fargo & Co, yesterday, "is that they explain to us why . they are not using the parcel post. 'While " they advance a . variety of reasons, the one most often heard is a desire for assurance that full value will be recovered in case of loss. "Some people seem to fear that they can't recover losses from the parcel post service." Buslaesa Less. Service Better. A paradoxical result is that the ex press companies are able to give bet ter service this year. than before. The decreased volume of traffic makes pos sible better attention and prompter de livery for the business that remains for them to handle. The express companies have not at tempted to discourage their patrons from using the parcel post. They have accepted the Government service as fair and legitimate competition and have met It as such. They have advertised their service as prompt and effiuient and have sought to. how that they can handle the busi ness as .well now as they have in the past. Just what effect this heavy loss of business will have on the express busi ness In general Is hard to estimate. It is certain, though, that it will cut deeply Into the gross revenues. The express companies always have depended upon the Christmas package business for a substantial share of their annual receipts. The loss may affect some companies quite seriously, it is believed. It is probable that within the com ing year the entire express service in the country will undergo a radical revolution. The general reduction In rates that becomes effective on February 1 is looked to as the means of recovering some of the business that has been lost to the parcel post, although the aggrer gate loss in revenue In the United States Is estimated at 126,000,000 a year. Freight Inroad Expected. The new rates also will effect a de cided reduction on some of the heavier commodities that now go by freight. The express companies expect to handle some freight traffic. At the same time a general reor ganization of the intrastate rates to make them conform to the interstate rates is in progress. A meeting was held In Chicago last week at which the railroad, and public service commissions of 29 states were represented. The whole country was divided into five zones, with a com mittee 'in charge of rate readjustments in each zone. Oregon, Washington and California are in the rmn zone. u. v. Calderhead. of Washington, and James Eschelman, of California, are the com missioners for this zone. Reports from the various states dis closed that the rates on the same com modity for the same distance vary as much as 50 per cent, it was ten tatlvely decided to adopt the interstate rates as a basis for the Intrastate Mt Although commissioners from some states objected on the grounds that their home rates now aro lower than the Government rates, and that this basis would result in an Increase of local rates rather tnan a decrease, v-hir4i seeminalv Is the object desired. The express companies themselves are eager to have a uniform tariff In the various states of the Union, but hv do not take kindly to the scheme for a further reduction in their local rates at the same time tnat tne inter state rates are going Into effect.
