pounds weight.
Every postmaster In the United
States will have a parcel post map
like the n which Is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit Of his postoflce
as q center. All that q postmaster
Will have to do when a parcel is pre-
sented for transportation is to find
out in what zone the destination of
the package lies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound from
the unit in which his ~postoflce lies
to the zone Of the packages destina-
lions. the price Is has been explained
before, to every ~postofice In any one
zone being the same. The parcel post
will take nothing but fourth-class mat
ter. Printed matter is still In the
third-class designation. Therefore
books cannot be sent by the parcel
post system. This the ~postofice au-
thorities seem to think ia in q way
unjust and may work a hardship. 1t
may be that In the future the law will
be changed 80 as to include all print
ed matter. It seems to. be certain that
an attempt will be made to bring
about this change as speedily as pos
sible.
Must Bear Stamp.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that postmasters be advised
that parcel post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing unless they bear
a distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card
of the sender. A series of distinctive
stamps is now in course of prepare
ton for this class of mail as required
by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments Of these
stamps will be ready for shipment to
all postofices In ample time for the
establishment of the new system on
New Years day.
The p~ostofice department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
ject Of the parcel post and especially
on the use Of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment Of the re-
turn card. The law requires that all

BY EDWARD g.. CLARK.


With the coming of the New Year
The United States government will en-
ter into a new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by
what is known as the parcel post.
For years there has been a demand
for such a system of inexpensive
transmittal of packages. The camps
OF favor and disfavor Of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
of congress a bill was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only it must be said in little more
than an experimental way.
1t is the intention of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly In the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar 1t will be, how much 1t will cost
the government, and whether there is
to be a profit or loss at the end of
each year. If 1t is found that the
plan is successful from the point of
view Of the people, which means the
government also, the parcel post will
be extended until finally 1t reaches
Che proportions which its proponents
say they believe it is destined to as
sumo.
Zone System Explained.
1t is no ex%aggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands Of inquir-
Hes have been made of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. 1t was
the law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for a
division Of the county into zones
and into 81 5000 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
eles which mark the boundaries of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, of this
Zone system, but really 1t is a very
simple matter.
The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit in which Washington is sit
uated, as the center. Accompanying
the map is a table showing the rate
Of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square Now each unit Is a
center from which the zones are
drawn and 80 every unit in the coun-
try no matter where It Is situated will
have zones drawn from 1t just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
II. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia.
which is in a unit in the fifth one.
From that will be drawn circles ex-
actly as they are drawn from Wash
fngton and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, just as they
are numbered from Washington az
number one. OF course, however.
Zone Six will have a different geo
graphical position as related to Keo-
kuk than 1t has as related to Wash.
ington. but az the radius of the circles
drawn from Keokuk is the same
length as the radius of the circles
drawn from Washington. Keokuk's
Zone Six will be just as far from it's
center as W~ashington's Zone Six IL.
How Rates Are Fixed.
1t can be seen from this readily
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone will
be the same as the postal rates from
Keokuk to its particular zones. Each
unit being about thirty miles square
will Of course contain In most cases q
number of postoflces, but each Office
IN the same unit Is considered as be
ing the center of the circles from
