FILMS ADMITTED TO MAILS

Washington, D. C., December 23. —Motion picture films are admitted to the mails by an order today of the postoffice department, effective January 1. Films will go under regular parcel post rates, but stringent regulations governing packing have been adopted. They must be shipped outside mail hags, inclosed in metal cases and sparkproof boxes bearing a label with a warning to keep fire and lights away. Motion picture companies have sought admission to the mails for several years. v.— V A'A
