POSTfFKTO
Assistant Postmaster General
Says Experiment of Six
Days' Opening Has Not Beenj
Success.
The law prohibiting the opening of
postoiilces and tho delivery of mail
on Sunday has added largely to the
cost of tho postal service and "ma
terially lessens its efficiency." accord
ing to the annual report of Daniel C.
Uoper, first assistant postmaster gen
eral, made public Friday.
Mr. Uoper suggests that it would be
in ihe interest of both the service and
employes to amend the law so as to
authorize Sunday work and grant
compensatory time off to employes as
signed to Sunday duty.
The experimental delivery of mail
in villages has been a failure. Mr.
Koper reports, and he recommends
that the service be discontinued. Ho
also recommends that the compensa
tion of rural mail carriers be chan?d
from a mileage to an eight-hour ba es.
"and that the carriers be permitted to
deliver mall regardless of the distance
from tho postotflce or tho corporate
limits of the town."
He also strongly urges that many
small independent postoifices he dis
continued and re-established as sta
tions of ne.arby large oiliees.
General approval to the operation
of the eight-hour law is given by Mr.
Roper. The schedules of GO.OOo em
ployes have been adjusted to the law
though it has been necessary in many
instances cither to work clerks over
time, or to employ an auxiliary force
at ;'.0 cents an hour.
The report estimates that COO. 000,
00 parcel post packages were
handled during the hrst six months
of the system's operation. Methods of
handling parcel post mail have been
practically standardized, with a result
of a material reduction in the cost.

I TURKEYS HEf
Holiday Shopping Active On
Public Market With Likeli
hood That Turkey Prices Will
Go High By Thursday.
A gradual increase in the price of
poultry during tho past two weeks
which threatens to send the cost of
the bi Christmas dinner soaring
higher than ever this year, brought
out the largest winter crowd of econ
omical housewives and salesmen to
the public market Saturday of tho
season.
Poultry which during the past few
days has been coming in slow at tho
city sales place, was the chief ware of
barter. At present the prices range
about the 28 cent mark for Mr. Turk,
dressed and ready for the cook. This
is the point at which the price rested
Thanksgiving time at its high mark.
liut few of the dressed birds were
brought to the market so far, most
of them being presented alive. Every
fowl sold will be good, as tho city
health department is keeping careful
watch for spoiled meat. The live
turkeys were selling Saturday morn
ing for 20 cents a pound. Chickens
were selling at 13 cents live and 20
cents dressed. Geese and ducks were
selling at 18 cents live weight and 26
cents dressed.
Scores of Christmas trees were
brought in Saturday also by farmers
and many a housewife went home
with a Christmas tree tucked under
one arm and a live turkey under the
other. Most of the Christmas trees
were of the home-grown cedar va
riety, although some of the regulation
pino trees have been shipped in from
the north.
Nearly one in every ten families in
the city will have a Christmas tree
this year and it is estimated that over
2,300 will be sold here.
In preparing her dainty Christmas
dinner the cook will be able to secure
cranberries at the usual price which
will ranger between 10 and 15 cents,
depending on the grade. Other pro
visions can be secured at approxi
mately the usual costs.

Earliest Mails Bring Response
to. News-Times. Latest Ap
peal in Behalf of Babies.
Scarcely had the mail man made
his first delivery Saturday morning
when two litle pink silk stockings, ad
dressed to the "Babies Health,
Strength and Happiness Fund" were
returned to the News-Times office
containing crisp bills for the babies'
Christmas gift. By noon four more
had arrived, and the prospuect is
that the "pink stocking campaign"
will bring in the best results of any
method yet tried in the effort to raise
monev for the dispensary.
The first stocking to arrive, con
tained a dollar bill from "A friend,"
and the second, $2.2f. from the office
employes of the George Cutter Co.
The others contained various sr-'.ras
but bore no name3 of the senders.
With "Health, Strength and Happi
ness for the Babies" us its slogan, the
"pink stocking campaign" was
launched Friday afternoon by the
News-Times.
Its purpose is to raise the present
dispensary fund to an adequate sum
by Christmas day.
Following a suggestion made by
Miss Anna E. Coushaine, recently in
the city in the interests of Epworth
hospital, tho News-Times Friday sent
out through the mail.M 600 cards bear
insr a Dlea for the tables. On each
card is a tiny pink stocking in which
the contribution is to be placed and
addressed to the "Boies' Health,
Strength and Happiness fund", News
Times office.
A similar campaign conducted by
Miss Coushaine in Buffalo raised
$13,000 in three days for a children's
hospital.
What will it do for the babies of
South Bend?
Only $1,700 has leen raised thus
far, $300 less than is required to run
the dispensary one year. Yet the
dispensary association hopes to build
a little cottasre which will cost not
less than $5,000.
Cards Bear Two Pictures.
The cards sent out yesterday bear
two pictures, one of a tiny baby, poor
and sickly, it's little head drooping
to one side, it's mouth gasping and
it's eyes listless the type of baby for
whom the dispensary exists the oth
er of a .chubby, lau?hing youngster,
with life written in i'.s dimpled cheek
and dancing eyes. Between the pic
tures is placed the little silk stocking
and around them is printed the ex
planation, "Thi3 baty is puny, sick
and poorly nourished. The money
you place in the stocking will make
her bright, chubby and healthy like
this one. Help the News-Time3 to
give the dispensary babies the great
est gifts in the world, health,
strength and happiness. Put the
monev in tho stocking and address
it to the 'Babies Health, strength
and happiness fund,' News-Times of
fice." A contribution of j;23 from the La
dies Aid society of tho First Pres
byterian church, the high school gift
of $30, and $7.15 frm the toy con
test made a substantial increase in
the fund Friday.
With the closing of the schools for
the Christmas holldsiys. zest will be
added to the toy contest, for from
now until. Christmas eve when the
contest closes, the beys and girls will
be free to bead all their efforts upon
earning one of tho beautiful toys aadi There is not enough money in the

amendments to the currency bill ami

the motion to accept tiie senate, hill.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20. The ad
ministration currency bill, fresh from
Friday night's victory in the senate,
was laid before tho house Saturday a.-f
soon as that body convened. Chair
man Glass of the house committee
moved at once that the house, dis
agree to all senate amendments and,
end the bill to conference.
Minority Leader Mann asked Glnsi
about the prospects for an immediate) '
agreement.
"I say franklj-." Glass replied, 'T
do not see any chance for an imme
diate agreement."
"You don't think you will be able
to report back to the house Into to
day?" asked Mann.
"1 certainly do not." replied Rep.
Glass, who resents the action of the
senate in appointing so many con
ferees on tho bill, asserting that with '
practically the full membership of tho
two banking and currency commit
tees acting, tho conference will re- .
semble a town meetinp. Glass was ,
still pessimistic when Hep. Murdockr'
asked if there was a chance for an
agreement Monday.
"I am sure 1 do not know." he re
sponded. Other members were more
confident, however.
"We shall made the measure a
Christmas present for the president,"
said a prominent democrat represen
tative, who will kIvo his support to
tbo bill as it parsed tho senate.
"Matters of difference will be rap
idly sorted out and within a few days
the bill will be in the hands of Mr.
Wilson."
Up to ConlVreiKT.
The fiKht now centers in the -on-ference
between the set ate. and house
committee. There are 12 of thcj- .
divided as follows:
Senate. Democrats Owen, O'Gr-
man, Tweed, Pomerone. Shafroth and
Ilollis.
Republicans Nelson, Bristow and
Crawford.
House: Democrats Glass and
Korbly.
Republican s I la yes.
Total democrats. 8; total repub
licans, 4.
The republicans, outnumbered two
to one. will be unable to halt the
bill and as a matter of fact, will be
marred from the working sessions,
so it will be up to the dominant party
alone to whip the measure into shape,
for submission to the president.
The final vote on the bill in the
senate Friday niht was Zi to .14.
