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 postofice
as a center. All that postmaster
will have to do when a parcel is pre-.
scented 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 postoffce lies
to the zone of the packages destina-
lions, the price as has been explained
before, to every postomce 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 att
thorities seem to think is in a way
unjust and may work a hardship. It
may be that in the future the law will
be changed so 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.

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

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 postoff1ces in ample time for the
establishment Of the new system on
New Years day.
The postofnce department has given
instruction to every postmaster In the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
Jet 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
