I'oBtmusters and patrons regarding

The order regarding delivery of
letters addressed to "Santa Cans"
Issued December 18, 1911!, has been
modified as follows:
"Postmacters are authorized to do
liver all letters on which the postage
has been fully prepaid arriving at
Jtholr respective Fostornees (luring
the month of December of each year
which aro addressed plainly and un
mistakably to "Santa Claim,, wltnout
any otnor termB or expressions iden
tifying the person for whom such
letters are Intended, to responsible
charitable Institutions or reputable
Individuals In the town or city of ad
dress who may desire to use them
exclusively for philanthropic purpos
es.
The order continues that the charl
table institutions or persons receiving
the letters must pay any postage due
before the letters are turned over to
them. It also specifies that the per
inn or institution wanting the letters
must apply for them, and that the
Postmaster Is authorized to distri
bute the letters as he may think best.
In case of no applications for the
letters, tho missives from tho trust
fill youngsters will find their way to
the Division of Dead Letters. This
order is algncdi by A. S. Burleson,
ostnlnstor General.
Send Parrels Early.
In a circular letter, Daniel C. Rop
er, flmt assistant postmnBter general,
urges that Christmas parcels bo mail
ed , early so that congestion of the
malls may be kept to a minimum.
The letter follows:
Extraordinary measures should he
devised by every Postmaster accord
ing to tho special needs and condi
tions of his community to prevent any
delay In the dispatch and delivery of
ninll during tho Christmas season,
and tho arrangements necessary to
this end should bo perfected well in
advance of tho rush season.
Mull should not bo permitted to
accumulate In PoBtoffices. Tho em
ployes should bo encouraged to put
forth their very best offorts during
tho Holiday season, while It Is not
desired to work undue hardship on
tho employes of the service, yet It
must he kept In mind that the Christ
mas season Is an emergency recog
nized by the department as justifying
the employment of clerks and carriers
more than eight hours a day.
Special attention should bo given
to supervision In order that the force
employed may bo utilized to tho best
possible advantage.
Patrons nro vitally Interested In
tho delivery of packages on or before
Christmas day, and every effort
should bo put forth to make delivery
of all Christmas packages before the
close of that day. Postmasters will
lighten their labor In this respect by
nBslduously seeking the ro-opcratlon
of their patrons. A supply of plac
ards urging early shipment and prop-
er wrapping or parcels will bo sent to
each Postoffice. These should bo dls
played conspicuously In the main of
fice and stations, us well as In other
public places mid stores.
It should bo advortlsed especially
that parcels may bear the words
"Not to bo opened until Christmas,"
'and similar Inscriptions, and that
this, togothor with early shipment, In
sures tho timeliness of Christina
KlftB, whereas the practice of mailing
packages lato In the hopo that t'.ioy
III reach their destination on Christ
inas day, Is likely to defeat Its own
object through unavoidable delay duo
to the congestion of the malls.
Heaped fully,
Danlol C. Ilopor,
FlrBt Assistant Postmaster General.

ZAU13RN, Alsare, Germany, Dec. H.
Lieut. Duron Von Forstner, who
started trouble between the troops
and tho citizens here by referring
scornfully to the cltlzeiiB when he ad
dressed recruits of his company,
aroused further Indlgnntion today by
cutting down n lamo Alsatian shoe
maker with his Babre. Tho titled
Is to take charge of tho Uylleaby pub
lic utilities there.
"Coos Hay mills are all l mining full
blast, and we nro shipping more lum
ber to California than all the mills
of tho Columbia Rlvor and Puget
Sound put together. Everybody down
there Is an optimist, and the only
trouble we have had down there Is
to get labor. This Is duo to the per
nicious Influence of the 1. W. W.'s,
with whom the Coos Uay towns lmvo
been having such serious trouhlo of
late. Hut these fellows jvero handled
In tho only Bafe nnd Bono way to dis
pose of them. After they had greased
tho tracks of tho logging roads In
one case resulting In the death of
four men and had burned a big
bridge and engaged In n number of
other acts of property destruction,
the business men and authorities got
togothor and drove them out.
"Since then the 1. V. W.'s have
spread the news nil up and down the
coast that thoro was a big strike on
at Coos Day, and this has made It ex
tremely hard to get the best class of
laboring men to go in there, but tho
big industrial plants nro booming
along nevertheless.
"The Southern Pacific Is pushing
Its construction of tho Wlllamette
Pnclflc road from Eugene to Coos
Uay along with the best speed possi
ble, nnd this Is helping to Increase
our general prosperous condition.
"So wo are not worrying about the
tariff, about the high rates of Interest
on money, or about the currency re
form agitation."
Green Is staying at the Portland
Hotel and will take charge of the
Everett public utilities only until suc'.i
time as arrangements for his per
manent successor can ho made.

A FLOUNCED FROCK
TO DANCE IN
Instead of more elaborate dutalla the
simpler afternoon frocks depend for
effect upon a graceful shoulder, nn at
tractive girdle or a bit of drapery.
Several such features are brouKht out
In 7897. together with an effective nar
row panel down front and buck which
serves to catch up and hold the drapery
in place. One of the new velours, u
velveteen, moire or poplin could bo
used with this design most appropri
ately. Mnhoguny crcpon relieved by a
wide girdle of Roman striped ribbon Is
shown in the Illustration.
To copy this dress In size 30 It re
quires 4!i yards of charmeusc and
of a yard of Bilk for the girdle.
Now that dancing Ih so popular ono
needs sovcral of the simpler dancing
drwmes. TheBe are mostly fashioned M
the sheerer materials, chiffon, nut and
luce. Luco Is especially modish this
season, being used for Itnunces. bod
Iccb und trimming purposes In gen
eral. This model shows n three tiered skirt
of luce tlounclng over u foundutlon of
dellcntc green liberty silk. Each
flounce is caught up slightly and held
with a tiny bow.
This model In size 18 requires 10
yards of ullover luce llounclng und 3
yards of silk for the gulmpe und foun
dation skirt.

The Postage Stamp
Consider the postage stamp. One of its chief virtues
lies in the fact that it sticks until it gets there.
