OF INTEREST TO SHIPPERS
COPIES OF THE NEW UNIFORM BILL
OF LADING BEING SENT OUT.
To Become Effective Oct. 1-Change Is
Radical, but Thought To BE Adj
yantaSeOus to Shippers.

The uniform bill of ladlng committee Of
the Trunk Line Association, the New Eng
land Roads. the Central Freight Association
and the Association of Lake Lines is
sending out a circular containing the
amendments TO the circular issued Dec. Z,
1903. The committee desires that shippers,
printers and carriers shall unite in aiding
the reform and especially is attention asked
to queries and answers received. II is de-
sired that the new forms shall be in gen.
eral use not later than Oct. l. 1904. and II
is hoped that the freight officials and ship
pers Will supply themselves with the new
blanks at once and acquaint themselves
with the proposed important changes.
Samples of bills of lading constitute a COM
Plete set of carriers standard forms, the
uniform bill OF ladinS (origina) being on
any shade Of yellow paper, the shipping
order on white paper, and the mem
orandum on any shade OF orange paper.
The memorandum may be admitted
from set, or two or more such
memorandums, all alike, may be used
IL shippers so desire. The carriers
merely express their preference for the order
named but offer no objections to any color
preferred by shippers. The form may be
used as loose sheets or bound in books
or blocks, and used with carbon paper
Whether issued in books or block or mani
fold with carbon paper, the forms should
be used as indicated above. While IL is
desirable that the subject matter shall
conform with the standard samples, many
printing houses advise that they have mani
fold processes calling for special forms, a
convenient size for an important number
of shippers. The words Not Negotiable
have been printed on the back of some Of
the shippers bills of ladng submitted to
the committee To meet certain require
ments In certain States these words should
always be printed on the face and not on
the back Of the original uniform bill of
lading and other forms of the set. The
use of the words Not Negotiable should
not interfere with the use of the uniform
bill OF lading, as the original, shown in
this standard set of the uniform bill of
ladng, appears in the official classification,
which is substantially the same as TO con-
dition. This may be used until due notice
is given TO the CONT y. There are twenty
four articles Civ eneral information for
shippers.

Unprecedented Freight Business.

fair will hurt the summer travel much.
Some new cars have been ordered and will
be put into service before the heavy traffic
commences.

dressed woman has no pocket and any
receptacle for the powder would be out
of the question. For instance, she would
not dare enter polite company with a box
OF rouge in her hand, or swung to her
belt by a chain.
So the Chicago man has invented a hand
kerchief. in one corner of which there is a
dainty little pocket not observable by any
one, as IL is neatly tucked in the cOrsage.
This pocket is designed To contain just
little bit of powder and. my lady can an-
ply il TO her face deity as she passes a

what she is doing. 1t seems TO be a good
idea and the ladies should take kindly to II.
