81 EDWARD 8. 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.
It is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inQuir-
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 in zones
and into $4,000 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clear
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
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 a
center from which the zones are
drawn and SO every unit in the coun-
try no matter where it is situated will
have zones drawn from 1t just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from

which is in unit in the fifth zone

way that anything can be sent which

Copy Foreign Countries.
It is probable that the government
will adopt a means OF transportation
for certain kinds Of its merchandise
much like those which have been
adopted in parcel post countries
abroad. What the English call ham
pers, basketslike arrangements, prob
ably will be adopted, and as these can
be kept separate from the ordinary
mail matter it is believed that the
regulations as finally adopted will al

The 11-pound limit for single pack
age may work at first against any
very extended use Of the parcel post
for some Of the articles which have
been named. OF course, more weight
can be sent if 1t is sent in different
parcels, but the cost In that case
would be heavier, because the in
crease per pound on single package

probably 1t would increase at no great

raise the limit Of weight which is now
fixed.
Every postmaster in the United
States will have a parcel post map
like the one which is here reproduced
