Washington, March 4~:--Senator

vestigation of the subject, viii raise
the limit to be carried by post to
eleven pounds, the same as that on
packages between this country and
foreign countries. 1 am inclined to
believe that the committee will rec
ommend a zone system of rates, SO
that the postage on q parcel, say
from q town in New Jersey to an
address in New York city would not
be as high as the charge from some
town In q western state to New

mended by the House Committee in

re~sentative Tutle, OF New Jersey Is
q member will not carry a provision
for rates By zones. II the Senate and
House disagree on this phase OF the
legislation, 1t will be necessary for
the bills to be threshed out In a joint
conference committee.
More than a dozen bills promis-
ing to establish a parcels post system
in one way or another have been In
troduced. but Mr.. Briggs says that
the Postoffice Department had pro-
nounced q number of propositions
as unavoidable in that the DEPART
ment could not handle the business
as at present organized without de-
moralizing the whole service. The
Culzer bill, which is being strongly
urged to passage by many petitions
received by members Of Congress, is
declared by the department to be
impracticable or operation at the

whether regular army officers who
are graduates OF West Point Military
Academy shall be credited with the

computing their longevity pay. The
Navy Department, In fixing the Pc
rlods Of longevity pay, has refused
