Christmas Mail for Americans.
The time is approaching to give j
thought to bringing Christmas;
cheer to the American soldiers and
sailors abroad.
Arrangements have been per
fected whereoy the Christmas mail
to the American expeditionary
forces in Europe is to be delivered
by Christmas morning. Without
the fullest cooperation on the part
of the public, it will be impossible to
accomplish this result.
The three essential respects in
which the public can aid in assur
ing a happy Christmas at the front
are: Mail early, and address in
t.lligently and pack securely. For
the reason it is urgently requested
that all persons having Christmas
mail for the soldiers and sailors and
civilian units attached to the army
in Europe observe closely the fol
lowing directions:
1. Mails to reach the soldiers
in France by Christmas morning
must be posted not later than No
vember 15. By order No. 821. of
the Postmaster General, dated Oc
tober 23, 1917, sui.h parcels will
be limited in weight to seven
pounds.
2. Every package must bear
conspiciously the words “CHRIST
MAS MAIL," the complete address j
of the person for whom it is in- :
tended, and, in the upper left hand
corner, the name and address of
the sender.
3. Every package must be so
packed and wrapped as to admit of
easy inspection by the postmaster.
No parcel will be dispached to'
France which has not the post
master's certificate that it contains
no prohibited articles. Intoxicants,
inflammable materials (including
friction matches'), or compositions
which may kill or injure another or
damage mails are amongst the ar
ticles prohibited.

No Stamp Tax on Checks.
Although the stamp taxes of the
new war revenue measure are not
in effect until December 1, there is
already much inquiry regarding
this featu; e of the revenue meas
ure, says Collector Jack Walker, in
charge of the Little Rock office.
Contrary to the belief of many
inquirers, there is no tax and will
be none on ordinary checks and
bank drafts given in ordinary busi
ness transactions. One section of
the stamp act which relates to
to checks and drafts states that
"drafts and checks payable other
wise than at sight or on demand"
are liable to a tix of two cents for
each $100 or fractional part there
of.
This, Mr. Walker expla;ns, re
fers to checks or drafts v.'hich are
dated ahead and are in substance
notes or promises to pay. Checks
dated ahead of the time at which
they are given are subject to the
war tax.
Gas and flame Regiment.
The “Gas and Flame" regiment.
-30th Engineers, is being recruited
by Capt. N. M. Cartmell at Little
Rock from men now volunteering
for the service, who will be ready
to “go over there" by Thanksgiving.
This is to be a regiment for skilled,
practical men, in many trades, who
will be called upon at once to dem
onstrate their worth and skill. It
is an opening for men who have
previously felt that they were most
needed at home, because of their
special training and experience.
The regiment will be required in
the field of operation to supervise
the American offensive in “Gas
and Flame" service, and will be
called upon to instruct men all
along the front ill this most import
|ant work. Consequently these
men, all volunteers, will be in the
thick of the greatest activities.
It is the pioneer regiment in this
service, and men who enlist now
i will be leaders in the spring effens
i ;ve. Five have already volunteered.

HATS FOR THE MATRON
The most difficult problem that
faces the milliner is solved when she
is able to produce hats that will suit
her up-to-date patrons who have
reached or passed middle age. Ex
perience makes the matron the most
exacting and discriminating of all
those who demand much in the matter
of beeoiningncss in headwear, and
specialists devote their time and tal
ents to meeting this demand.
Two of the rich and brilliant lints
with which middle age will face the
coming winter are shown here. At the
top a handsome tailored model pre
sents the tall crown nnd graceful,
carefully managed brim lines that
characterize the season’s styles. Be
low, a draped velvet turban provides
a background for a feather wreath of
wonderful coloring made of natural
plumage.
Youthful Lines in Surges.
Simply and iru xpenslve serges,
youthful in effect. have plaited tunics
longer at front than at hack and sides,
also wilh straight hells, vest effect and
