For Christmas | .On Thursday Peak load of Christmas mailing throughout the country will come Thursday. according to expecta- tions of officials of the Post Office | Department today. Telegraphic reports from the fif- teen railway mail centers of the country to the department showed an increase of 20 to 25 per cent in mailings over the same time last year. The trapsportation system is ‘working . satisfactorily, reports showed, with no “unworked l'nlll" olling up in terminals. Peak of the goreign mallings was reached last daturday. Parcel post packages are com- mg in slowly at the Washing- ton city post office, leading offi- clals there to believe that people throughout the country are not ! heeding the “malil early” slogan as well as they might. Officlals at the local offices are hoping that the department pre- diction of Thursday as the “peak” ‘will be true, but believe that Bat- urday will be nearer the day for ‘Washington's peak load of parcels. Yesterday but 3,503 sacks of parcels were recelved hers, in com- parison with 3,335 received cember 18, 1921. As the latter date ‘was on Sunday, when mallings are usually lighter than on week days, the comparison with yesterday’s {s even more disconcerting. Washingtonians, on the other hand, are mailfng early with a vengeance. Yesterday 12,955 sacks of parcels were dispatched as com- ?’l'rzd with 6,866 on December 18, of thet- lrrml(on bill for the Shipping Board | S UPER QUALITY “A Few Cents Moro-—B-t a \Vhob Lot Better” .
