Benjamin S. Jackson. Harry V. Belt,
Victor H. Elaenbelss, and Charles 1
Marschauer. Tho first six are to bo
employes In the delivery division and
the remainder in the mailing division.
Conferences with the wirlous super
intendents are beintf held by Postmaster
Murrltt. so that an ebtlma'.e can be
made of the appropriation necessary
to move the mnil as r.ipldly (hiring the
holiday season as during the dull
months of numrr.er. Mr. Mcriltt has
announced that no mail will be "side
tracked" this year to make possible the
delivery of Christmas packages. He has
served notice that the thousands of pos
tal card 8 must bo distributed with the
same speed as the big packages.
"We expect that the new automobiles
mall wagons will help materially." said
Mr. Meiritt today "Then we will have
a large wagon set Ire fcr tho holiday
rush.
How It Will Be Done.
"Take, for example, sixteenth and O
ptreets northwest. When the wagon ar
rives there, two carriers will Jump oT,
spread canvas on the ground and dump
out the mail for four blonks, whose
corner touch there. From that polnt,
which Is, in reality, a temporary sta
tion, the distribution begins. We In
tend to practice tha scheme. The plan
was devised by C. B. Matthews."
As the season advances many substi
tute carriers will be put at work and,
to facilitate the handling it the mail,
a number of new cases are being constructed.
POSTAL BONDS MAY
BE REDEEMED AT
ANY TIME AT PAR
Postofflce Department Makes
Explanation to Its
Depositors.
Postal savings bonds will be redeemed
at par any time that the holder 'desires.
8uch is the Information given at the
Postofflce Department this morning.
This Is consldertd important, for many
persons hesitated to transfer their pos
tal savings Into bonds on account or
their likelihood to be "hard pressed."
With the Government pledged to rodecm
the bonds dollar for dollar, there will no
longer be this hesitancy.
Under tho authority given the boaid
of trustees of the postal savings system,
the bonds offered for sale will bo pur
chased at par. The postal savings act
gives the board of trustees tho right to
withdraw 30 per cent of the postal sav
ings fund on deposit In banks and post
nfrirrn for Investment in bonds . and
t)ther securities of the United States. II
is under this authority mat me posmi
savings bonds will be purchased from
tho holders.
In regard to the report that the mark
et value of these bond at 92, Mr. Hitch
cock said that nothing could bo more
misleading. The onlv basis for the ru
mor of an actual sale at that prlre was
an offer the other dav by a New York
bioker to purchase $200 of the bonds be
low par, which vad not accepted by the
holder. Mr. Hitchcock btated that postal
savings bonds wore not Intended for
speculation.
Tho purpose of the board of trustees
was to give tho mass of people an op
portunity for permanent Investment In
the securities of the National Govern
ment. By the purchase of a 20 postal
savings bond, any thrifty person of lim
ited means may beccme the creditor of
the nation.
The repayment of tho Investment with
accrued Interest Is secured by tho
pledged faith of the United States. Of
tho first Issue of bonds. 85 Der cent was
In the registered form, showing that tho
Intention of tho purchasers was to re
tain them as permunent Investments
and not to use them fqr speculative
purposes.

High View
Overlooks the City
r
V
THE Capitol, the .Congressional Library, Postoffiee, and
Washington Monument are in full view. Right here
on the summit of High View are those modern six
room homes which are making such a record for rapid
selling.
And High View is right on Rhode Island
Avenue just one square east of North Capitol
Street.
There is as much city development miles
beyond it as this side of it.
A small cash payment makes you the immediate owner.
After that you pay but $26.92 per month. This $26.92 pays
directly on the home and includes all interest.
The character of these homes, their location, and the
transportation facilities (two double track car lines) make
this a home buying opportunity that will probably never be
duplicated again.
If you want a home here to start in, in the
Spring, you will have to come now.
Price, $3,300

TO INSPECT Take any G St. cur marked "Brook

Note the Great Depth of These Front Lawns
rp HE DEVELOPMENT OF 14TH ST. N. W., and intersecting streets for a distance
I of several squares east and west of 14th, has been nothing less than phenomenal.
And, as this development increased real estate values have increased and will
continue to increase.
NOW COMES THE CLIMAX of 14th St. and vicinity development the opening
for inspection and offering for sale of the properties we illustrate above right at 14th
St. and ON SHYING EOAD.
Here you will find homes as homes should be. Look at those deep front lawns,
highly terraced where in all Washington will you find such front lawn depth on pur
chaseable houses?
Then look at the type of architecture! Aren't they beautiful! That handsome
pressed brick construction is re-enforced with steel to make the homes doubly durable.
Those quaint dormer windows at the top give a three-story effect, don't they?
What a fine place those porches will make on which to while away a pleasant
sunny afternoon. They are ver y imposing looking, with their massive pillars and rail
ings. Yes, and there's a second story railed balcony on each side, adding beauty with
utility.
Now, let's step inside. You will appreciate the conveniently arranged artistic
ally mapped out interiors all finished with hardwood trimmings and the floors are
hardwood, upstairs as well as downstairs. A fireplace in the parlor and another in the
dining room A MASSIVE CARVED PILLARED ENTRYWAY BETWEEN THE
TWO ROOMS and between the parlor and hallway. '
The upstairs rooms are equally as fine in their way. And don't forget the two
Btory rear porches that overlook neatly picketed back yards. Every modern con
venience such as electric ligh t, gas, a model heating plant with hot water attachment,
etc., will be found already installed.
All that's needed is your furniture AND BUT LITTLE OF THAT IS ACTU
ALLY REQUIRED, so artistic are the decorations and so complete the fixtures. AND
YOU CAN BECOME THE IMMEDIATE OWNER of such a home for a cash outlay of
BUT $425. And after that but $38 per month is required, payable just like rent, only
$38 each month pays directl3r on the home, including-all in terest.
The full price of these homes is only $5,000. But $5,000 for such a home in a
built up community where th e average price is at least $7,000. You know just as well as
we do that you should see th ese houses NOW before they are ALL SOLD.
TO INSPECT Take any 14th street car going north. Get off at 14th and Spring
road, and you are right at the homes only a few minutes' ride from center of city.
