PARCELS POST
REGULATIONS

Inc pOTStl post CTcdUcu ny dCL "a
Congress Aug. 4, 1912, to begin oper-
alton Jan. l, 1918, has awakened
great interest all over the country,
especially In rural districts. Other
countries enjoy the benefits of this
cheap and convenient method of send
ing small packages; and our Govern.
ment, in treaties, agrees to deliver
parcels sent In this manner from such
countries to persons In the United
States. There seems no reason. there
fore why we should not use the sys.
tenn to the advantage Of large pro-
portion of our people. The scheme
is yet only an experiment, but will
probably become a valuable institu
ton. Its success will depend upon
the rates charged In comparison with
those Of express companies.
The writer learned, at the Post OF
flee department, that while large
part Of the office force Is busy per.
fecting plans, there are still import.
ant details yet unsettled.
The Act creating the Parcel Post
is briefly as follows: Fourth class
mail Is extended to include every
thing not included now In other
classes; provided the packages do
not weigh more than II lbs. nor
measure more than u inches In
length and girth combined; and fur.
Their provided they be not Of q shape
or character to injure other mail, or
to spoil before delivery In reason
able time. This Is practically the
whole bill except as to rates. 1t is
easy to regulate the size and weight
Of parcels, but not easy to decide
what may be perishable for each dis
lance, or too dangerous to other mail
These questions are puzzling special
commission, which in conference with
Senator Bourne the author Of the bill
Is now trying to settle such details.
Shall live animals be admitted p
and such things as butter, eggs, milk,
live pigs and whiskey? 1t Is the ev-
dent intent Of the bill to provide
for dressed poultry, butter eggs and
liquors.; for farm and factory pro-
ducts are especially mentioned. But
such articles must Of course be put
in safe containers, which may pos
sibly be sold like envelopes.
Dangerous explosives cannot be &C
cepted, and live pigs and turkeys
will usually be excluded by weight.
But live chickens, for short hauls
may become common part of the
postman's delivery.
For the purpose Of fixing rates,
5 zones are created, based upon I'M
it's that are about 30 miles square, or
half degree of latitude. But for
practical purposes we may say that
the first zone includes all points
within so miles Of the sending office;
the second points between so and $50
miles distant; the third $50 to 800;
the fourth 800 to 600; the fifth 600
to 1000; the sixth 1000 to 400; the
seventh 14OO to 1900; and the eighth
all areas beyond 1900 miles from the
sending office. The rates proposed
are as follows:
