But inasmuch as the old clause left
the shipper practically no show at al

jagged, the new clause might very we'll
be "fairer" than the old one, and still
not be very fair. Furthermore. IL
seems that at present both old forh!
ano new form are being used SO that
IL is toss-up as to which kind OF re-
ceipt the shipper gets.
In practice, however, IL doesn't
seem to matter much which he gets.
The new clause fixes IL SO that the
shipper must either ship packages
weighing more than 100 pounds or
pay excess expressage to be in posi-
ton to collect more than $50 in case
OF loss or damage.
Now there are very few express
packages that weigh more than 100
pounds. And the heavy packages are.

to their weight. than the lighter ones
For fnstAAct, the average case Of beer

value OF an express package Is in in

You must either declare its value and

you are in a position to recover the
value OF the stone IL IL should be lost
OF course people with $1,000 diamonds
10 send by express are not going to
haggle over a little excess charge, 50
there's no danger of anybody ballast
ing diamonds that way. But the
hypothetical case OF the diamond
serves to set forth the horns OF the
dilemma that the shipper must face
II he has anything valuable to ship,
Then there is the cunning word
shipment" That means that dozen
packages shipped at one time must all
be lost before you can recover $50
from the company, IL the total weight
be under 100 pounds, or so cents per
pound II one be lost, the company
figures the damage by the rule or
three-"As the value of the lost pack

The new clause Is ideal protection
for folks who are in the habit of ship
ping express packages of 100 pounds
or over and worth about so cents per
pound.
Otherwise 1t is a delusion and a

the German government has had no
occasion TO discuss what measures for

If trouble breaks out in the Next

else clear right. which has ever been
