In preparing your Christinas pack.
age to send by mail keep in mind that
to insure delivery before Christmas day
it’ should be mailed early and marked
“Do not open until Christmas” if that is
your desire. Place the address on the
lower right corner and the return on the
upper left hand corner. The address
and return so arranged aid very much to
the speedy handling of mail of all class-
es,
Do not write the address more than
once on your package. Duplicate ad-
dresses are confusing to everyone who
handles the package, The only time a
duplicate address is required is when a
shipping tag is used, If you use the
tag for address the requirements are
that you also place the address on the
package.
In addition to placing your return
card—name of sender and address on
the upper left hand corner of the pack-
age—it is also required to place your
name and address inside the package.
All parcel post packages must be
wrapped so the contents may be in-
spected, The sender must also declare
to the postmaster the contents of all
packages not sealed. The statement
that the comtents is ‘‘merchandise” is
not specific enough. The reason you
are asked to declare the contents of
your package is so that it may be prop-
erly marked and thus properly handled
by the postal clerks and postmaster at
office of delivery,
During the holiday season, which is
from now until, say a week after New
Year, you are permitted to write ‘‘Mer-
ry Christmas”, “Happy New Year”, or
some expression of that kind on your
package, as well as place a Red Cross or
some Christmas or New Year stamp on
it.
Again, wrap securely, address plainly,
mail early.
HOW HAILSTONES ARE FORMED
According to Theory, Electrical Action
Is Responsible for Storms That
Frequently Dec Damage.
The formation of hall through elec:
trical action, according to one theory,
is an interesting and even wonderful
process. The wind draws out a cloud
into a long, narrow strip. In that
form, to the great amount of
surface exposed to the alr, the cloud
evaporates rapidly, producing intense
cold.
Dry particles of snow are then form
ed, and these, by friction with the wa
ter drops, quickly become charged with
