which the zones are drawn. The
rates of postage are fixed from the
unit in which the sending postofhce is
situated but the price to every place
in any zone is just the same To il
lustrate, it wi1l-cost exactly the same
amount to send a parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that it costs to
send it to Atlanta, Ga, because Erie
and Atlanta with reference to Wash
ington are situated in the fourth
zone. The rates therefore are fixed
from the unit in which the postofice
is located, but they are the same
from that Office to any point in any
one zone.
1t will be seen by reference to the
table of rates of postage that 1t will
cost more per pound to send pack
age a long distance than it does to
send it a short distance. The rate in
creases for a package weighing one
pound at the rate of one cent for
each zone. No package weighing
more than IL pounds can be sent un-
der the new parcel post law. 1t
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies, but that on shorter hauls
it can so compete. 1t was the ex-
pressed desire of the legislators and
of the postofice officials that the par
eel post system should be made of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. 1t is probable that pro-
ducers must study the rates of post
age and the convenience of trans
initial and compare them with the
cost and convenience under present
methods before individually a man can
determine whether he is to profit or
not by the change. Then there is an
other thing to be considered and
which only can be known definitely
when fuller regulations have been
made to specify exactly what kind of
things can be sent by parcel post. 1t
| can be said in a general way that any
thing can be sent which is properly
wrapped and which will not fnjure
other mail matter with which it may
come in contact.

1t is probable that the government
will adopt a means of transportation

can be sent If it is sent in different

would be heavier because the In
crease per pound on a single package
is not great up to IL pounds, and
probably IT would increase at no great
er rate If the government were to
raise the limit of weight which is now
fixed To make 1t simpler, it will
cost more to send two packages of IL

BY EDWARD q. 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
divided Finally at the last session
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.
It is the intention of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly in the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar it will be- how much it will cost
the government, and whether there is
to be a profit or loss at the end of
each year. If it 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 it reaches
the proportions -Shich its proponents
say they believe it is destined to as
sumo
Zone System Explained.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of incuir-
les 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 country into zones
and into 95 600 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries of
understanding. apparently, of this
zone system, but really it 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 3
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 q
center from which the zones are
drawn and so every unit in the coun-
try no matter where 1t is situated will
have zones drawn from it just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
II. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia,
which is In a unit in the fifth zone.
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 as
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 as 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 Its
center as Washington's Zone Six is
Now 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 g
number of postofhces, but each Office
in the same unit is considered as be
ing the center of the circles from

er single package to be carried and
should charge in proportion just what
it does now for one package of IL
pounds weight
Every postmaster in the United
States will have a parcel post map
like the one which is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit of his postoffice
a center. All that a 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 postoffice lies
to the zone of the packages destina-
tions, the price as has been explained
before, to every postoff1ce 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 postoffice au-
thorities seem to think is in a way
unjust and may work a hardship. 1t
may be that in the future the law will
be changed so as to include all print
ed matter. 1t seems to be certain that
an attempt will be made to bring
about this change as speedily as pos
sible
Must Bes= 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 prepara-
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 postoffces in ample time for the
establishment of the new system on
New Years day
The postcfice 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

stamps attached shall be treated as
