NEW EXPRESS RULES EFFECTIVE NOV. 10 EXPLAINED BY AGENT

Steps were taken Tuesday by J. C. Rife, in charge of the city express office, to prepare for the new express packing requirements, which go into effect on December 10. He has been advising express shippers to study the new rules, which have bpen approved by the United States Railroad Admin istratlon, so that hey may be able to adjust their packing methods to the ionhcoming new standards. Under the new regulations, which are embodied in what is known technically as Supplement No. 5, to Express Classification No. 26, all shipments sent by express weighing over 25 pounds, must be packed in wooden containers, of cartons of fibre-board, pulpboard, or corrupated strawboard material, of specified "test strengths". This means, according to. Agent J. C Rife, that after December 10, packages over the 25-pound limit will not be accepted for forwarding by the American Railway Express Company, handling the express business of the entire country as agent of the railroad administration, if only paper wrapped. Nor will ordinary paper boxes, wrapped or unwrapped, be accepted as suitable protection for these heavier shipments. The regulations, however, do not affect shipments under 25 pounds. Regular shippers, Rife said Tuesday, will not be mystified by the new regulations, as they follow very closely the packing requirements long in vogue in the freight service. The express regulations, however, allow a little rnor3 latitude in the size of the carton used. The enforcement of the new rules was postponed until December 10, so that shippers would have plenty of time to prepare themselves for this change In express packing standards. Rife expressed the opinion that these new rules will not work any hardship on ehippers, but ehould provide additional safeguards for merchandise ia transit. Moreover, they will establish a uniformity of express packing rules which heretofore has been lacking. The new order does not affect the movement of food products by express, which are ordinarily shipped in crates or barrels. "We believe." stated Rife, in oxplaininp the new regulations, "that the ?b ppinfr public will welcome the new standards when they understand then, nnd the reasons for putting them into rffCt." Rife i she to Istipply shippers with copies of the Supplement No. 5 to Express Classiflcat ion No. 2G, in which the new rules are outlined in detail.

Siberian Refugees Flood Into Irkutsk From North CF.y Associated Press) IRKUTSK, Siberia, Oct. 2S Ten thousand refugees from the Ural mountain districts of European Russia and Siberia have for weeks filled the yards of Irkutsk with their railway cars. Forced to flee from their homes in Perm, Ekaterinburg, Tumen Cheliabinak, Ufa, Petropavlovsk, Kur-; gan, Barnaul ana otner cities or western Siberia because of the menace of the Bolsheviki, they took refuge in the railway box cars provided by The Omsk government and started eastward. Irkutsk, midway between Omsk and Vladivostok, has felt the full impact of the enormous tide of refugees. Thousands have been sent on eastward, but they still remain in and around this district an extraordinary number of people who have no homes but box cars or hovels somewhere along the railroad line. A week ago it was estimated by an officer of the American railroad corps, which is attempting to rehabilitate the trans-Siberian service, that no fewer than 35,000 cars of refugees were amassed in and around Omsk.

City Plan Commission Asks For Better Town

CONTRIBUTED. In the life of the modern city the importance of city planning is fundamental. It Is a function which need not be delegated only to city officials but ehculd be shared alike by every citizen. As stock holders In the city corporation each one should be vitally interested in the policies and plans of that corporation both, as to its present necessities and to Its future needs. The city has a dual nature; it is Both from a business and a social standpoint, it is vast and complex. On the business side, there are the indus tries, great and small; the wholesale ; and retail business, and the instruments of business are the city's business streets, railroads, warehouses and stores. On the social side, there is the task of providing houses for the citizens, of feeding them, of furnishing them with their many necessities, their comforts and amusements: and the instruments for these tasks are the streets, the system of public utility, the parks and playgrounds, the schools i and libraries and the public and pri vate buildings. We know that the purpose and usefulness of all these separate factors in citv life is to make the citizen healthy. prosperous, intelligent and contented with his home city; but we are iust beginning to realize that this result is obtained only by the proper relation of these many elements, one with another, in community life. This relation or unity does not come of itself, by chance: it is the result only of careful planning. Culmination of Efforts. The city planning commission is tlia culmination of an effort to unite in a small workable committee a responsible, representative citizenship, linked together with the administrative and legislative bodies of the city government. Men of different vocations were selected from different sections of the city so that the commission is now composed of a lawyer, a manufacturer, a minister of the gospel, a plumber, an architectual engineer, a councilman and a civil engineer. Due to the exigencies of the various pursuits of the majority of citizens, they are afforded very little opportunity to secure data and information relative to Ihe various civic undertakings which are brought up from time to time. Conseouentlv, one of the main obieets of this commission is lo act as a publicity medium and with thn co. operation of the press to act as a clearing house for idea;. To inform the citizens what other neighboring cities are planning. This information will tend to show that we must enlarge our vision anil not be hermits in planning for our future. The citizens with this information at hand, will be more competent ' forming unbiased opinions. These Questions should be determined without regard to politics, religion or personal grievances whatsoever. The other purpose of this pommls - sion is to. after a studv of the data which it has at hand concerning some! particular problem, outline its plan.' and make its recommendations to the! board of public works and the rom- j mon council. When with the help; of interested citizens, it will make an i effort to have the proper action taken. Need More Workers. j This activity, like every other fig- j nificant one, needs more workers, j Every citizen needs to do his part: every woman ann emia ns wen as every man. Susreestions of any nature pertaining to the improvement of the , community is solicited by the city i planning commission. Thev realize j that many of thepo civic undertakings I will require considerable time to materialize and that it will require fu ids to make any improvement Even so i it will improve the spirit of th'" comj munity to keep the interest of the I eitizens active and alive to what its I needs really are. j This commission should bo the nucleus about which other committees of like- nature should lie formed from lie j variouc; oracnizations in the citv. all i co-operatina: one with another to se cure for Richmond those thincs which will further Ihe interests of the community as a whole; to the .end tlia' the citizens may enjoy it? benefits and secure for themselves health, prosperity and happiness.
