AMY SHIPulEWTS ARE DELAYED BY POOli LiARKINGS

Express - Offices Are. "Junk : Shops' Full of Lost Material Says Agent. Nearly a thousand shipments a day are sent to. the "No Mark Bureaus" of ;the express company, because all means of Identification have been lost, according to a statement made at the Better Service Campaign, meeting .of the local express employes today. At this rate 25.000 shipments a month or op;000 a year, go astray because tags or labels have been torn off, thus remortnff all means of "locating either the shipper or the consignee. ' ' ' v Agont H. B. Lee, who conducted the meetings of .vehicle men, platform men and office employes, laid emphasis on the fact that better packing and better marking would cure this evil. As everything movable is sent by express, the No Mark Bureaus are great "Junk shops," containing a lot of miscellaneous material which the express company has gathered together because delivery .was made Impossible due to Inadequate marking and packing. - . . Prom July ' 1 to November 30, last year,-127.859 shipments were received by the No Mark Bureau, all of which were entirely without mark, or bore addresses that could not be jnade out, or cons!gnedto "destinations that did not exist The size of an article makes no difference so far as these bureaus are concerned, for even aeroplanes.

heavy machinery and big castings

sometimes go astray for the lack of

an address. - Baggage Is Stranded.

Great quantities of baggage are also

left stranded because old marks from previous trips have not been removed, or dependence was laid upon a single tag to direct a trunk, a valise or a suitcase to destination and the tag was torn off in handling. About 1,500 pieces of baggage find their way into these "graveyards" ofc business, eighty per cent of them bemg there on account of old marks. The present campaign alms to cure this trouble. " Pointing out the tremendous growth of the express business in recent years. Agent H. B. I-.ee stated that more than 300,000,000 shipments a year are being handled by the American Railway Express Company, which is operating the express business on all of the railroads of the country About 135,00 employes are now engaged In various branches of the service. He declared that this made it the most extensive transportation organization in the world and that the centralized management has made It possible to strengthen and better the service since the merger of the previously separate lines. The consolidation has also cleared the way for an aggressive drive to Improve internal operating conditions and methods, and the Better Service Campaign is the first step In this direction.

EIGHT SURVIVORS OF LONDON GUARDS ARE WELCOMED HOME

(By Associated Press) LONDON, vFeb. 26. The Second battalion of the grenadier guards received an enthusiastic welcome on its return to London from Germany yesterday. Although no ceremonies had been arranged and the hour of arrival

was uncertain, immense crowds assembled at St. Pancras Station, which was thronged, large crowds being congregated outside. The only indication that something unusual was happening was the presence of massed bands which played, "See, the Conquering Heroes Come," as the men left their train. General Fielding, commandant of the London

district, welcoming the battalion in be

half of the king and then the guards began a triumphal march across London to Chelsea Barracks. Unprecedented scenes were witnessed as the troops proceded through the crowded streets, thousands of people joining in the march, which eventually assumed such proportions that it resembled a general exodus. The wives, relatives and sweethearts of the guardsmen were given places of honor among the civilian marchers, while many members of the returned battalion could be seen leading their children. The bands played throughout the march, the crowds joining in singing popular airs. Even the London policemen were unable to resist waving their hands. It was the most exultant and happiest procession London has seen for many years. Queen Mother Alexandra, outside of Marlborough House; the Duke of Connaught,, and the crown prince and princess of Sweden, before Clarence House and King George and Queen Mary, with their children at the open windows of Buckingham Palace, greeted the warriors as they passed. Of the original unit that left England in 1914, only twelve men survived to take part in this great homecoming. ,

The opening of the exhibit of the

work of Frank Townsend Hutchens well known New York artist, will.be held Wednesday evening In the public art gallery at 7 o'clock.' The pictures were hung Wednesday morning and make a beautiful display of color. The

exhibit will be hung until March 12.

Muchpt his work is done out of

doors. There is variety of colors, to landscapes and figures.

Perhaps the most appropriate ana

for this reason the most appealing is "Recompense" which was recently displayed in the - N.ational Academy. The picture was painted last summer. It shows a mother bending over her child in a garden, and one realizes up

on looking at the picture ' that the father of the little family Is serving his country. Many scenes are done near Mr. Hutchens' famous home in Silvermine, Conn. Notably among these Is "Hills in October." The rocks and the foliage yield in a well graded tone to a vision of Long Island with the Sound in the background. The color in this is unusually strong. t One evening while motoring with some friends near his home in Conneticut Mr Hutchens turned around and saw a wonderful scene in the twilight. The next evening at twilight with his paint and brushes he went back to this scene and the result is "Moonlight," magnificent in blue and green tones. It has been said of Mr. Hutchens that he is possessed of a splendid coloristic sense and a master in the creation of atmopshere. These statements are born out in the exhibit that will open tonight. Another Interesting feature of the exhibit is a portrait of Mr. Hutchens

NEW HATS MARKED BY JAUNTY SHAPES!

painted by Weyman Adams who has exhibited many times in the public art gallery. Mr. Hutchens has been

persuaded to hang this in his exhibi

tion.;.-.- .. ;

Another picture that , has been ex

hibited In the recent war exhibit is "The War Harvest" showing a young girl and' her father In the field. The picture is rich In orange and yellows. Perhaps the most delightful feature of the exhibit is that the artist himself In in -attendance and will be throughout the exhibit. Mr. Hutchens will talk during "the evening in the art gallery. He Is a prominent artist in Europe and America and like all painters who have had the experience of painting for years in the atmosphere in which . Mr. Hutchens has painted, is interesting, charming and unassuming.

Talk on farm Profit Given at Court House Lynn Robertson, of the Purdue Experiment station, gave talks on condi

tions influencing profit from the farm, and on farm records and their use, before a good-sized audience in the superior court rooms Tuesday evening. Robertson remained in the courthouse Wednesday to inspect the farm record books given out last spring and to make suggestions based on records.

BRAZILIAN BALM For Spanish Influenza As the Balm is the only thing ever discovered that kills every germ and cures pneumonia never having lost a case yet in 40 years, many people have learned this fact and sent to us by scores for $1.00 bottles hence the Druggists should keep this size on hand. They can always get it of Mr. Danforth, of Washington, or any Philadelphia or Baltimore wholesale house. Every- retail druggist ought to have a doncu bottles at least Some retailers are buying three dozen, and order' ing them by parcels post. People should saturate themselves with the Balm to kill this tough germ. It saves every case. B., F. - Jackson & Co., Proprietors, Arcade, Wyoming Co., N. Y. Adv. - . . s . ,. .

Marauding Dogs Cause Loss to Sheepowners A band of marauding dogs has caus

ed considerable loss and damage to

sheepowners in the northwest part of Wayne township in the last few days. Claims amounting to $215 have been filed since Feb. 10 for the loss of sheep by Ross Markey, Thomas Eastman and Dorah Wilt. The car

casses have been poisoned and traps set for the dogs, but none have been caught and no one has been able to identify them.
