 ing Series of 12

Washington, September 29-Arrange- ments have been made by Postmaster General Hitchcock for engraving and manufacturing series of P stamps, unique in size and novel in design. for exclusive use in forwarding packages by the new parcels post. Under the law re- gently enacted by Congress ordinary stamps cannot he used for this purpose.
 The special parcels post stamps will be larger than the ordinary stamps. and will be so distinctive in color and design as to avert possible confusion with stamps now in use.

 The second series will show at work in their several environments the four great classes of postal employ clerks, railway mall clergs, city letter car riers and rural delivery carriers
 The third series will represent four in dustrlal scenes showing the principal sources of products that probably win be transported extensively by parcels post
 The stamps will be ready for dstribu- ton December l, in order that the t0.n0o postof'ices may be supplied with them be- fore the law becomes effective January l..
