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.

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.
