Postmaster H. L. Mckee this morning
dispatched from the postofflce depart
ment at Washington. With the arrival
of this matter, preparation in every de-
tail has been completed for handling
the fourth-class mail matter under the
new system
There came also an order from Post
master General Hitchcock. which an
nounced the fact that because of the
untried condition of the new system.
the c. o. d. feature of the parcels post
will not be put in operation immedi-
ately 1t said:
The c. O. ID. feature will not be
placed in effect until the department
has opportunity to determine the best
system after observing the operation of
the service"
Also, in regard to the special deliv-
cry feature of the original law, the or
der announced a delay, saying;
vi tiCNOullJ VI Illt liiNl tftSe u weight
and size of the fourth class matter to
be accepted for mailing under the par
cells post law. the department has not
considered it wise to begin special de-
livery service of this class of matter
when the law goes into effect January
l. The advisability of providing spe-
cial delivery for such mail can be more
readily determined after the parcels
post is in full operation"
The arrangement for insurance Of the
parcels is settled, however, and will go
into immediate operation. Upon pay
ment of fee of ten cents, announces
Postmaster Mckee, the delivery of the
package is insured. Insurance tags
will be placed on sale with the stamps.
At each of the four windows in the
Atlanta postoffice. parcels post stamps
are obtainable.
The delay in the complete operation
of the law is due to the spirit of ex-
pertinent which is attached to the new
system, in stations high and low The
final arrangement by which the traffic
will be handled Is to be determined by
developments and exigencies in Atlanta
as well as in Washington.

young riot.
Walter Jones, who created the part of
Jimmy several seasons ago, is the ring
leader of the fun, and he is backed up
handsomely by Miss Marjorie Cortland as
Zoie Hardy the pseudo mother, and Miss
Vera Rail. as Jimmy's wife.
Beneath all the fun there is the pretty

for her husband-a veriest butterfly, and
