fee has the express companies beaten. While it is not generally known, there is nothing to hinder 8 patron of the post office from afhxing 10 cents in excess of the required parcel post rate to any package, marking the package special delivery and carrying it to the post office for immediate transmits sion. Under this arrangement it would, cost the department stores 20 cents to secure immediate transmission of a bundle weighing 'cn pounds and g cents to deliver one weighing twen- ty pounds. All the store has to do is to dump the package into the. post office and be delivered from all fur ther worry regarding the bundle
 The new rule also opens up another possibility as the order making to- morrow's change has this clause: Fresh meats and other articles men toned in paragraph ?. Section 34, par eel post regulations, when nclosed and wrapped in the manner prescrib- ed will be accepted for mailing to offices within the first and second zones'' If the housewife finds she can buy meat cheaper in a nearby town than she can in the city 1t can be mailed in to her at a nominal ex- pense.
 Book publishers are greatly inter ested in the present effort to bring books into the parcel post, or fourth class division, taking them from third class matter. Before the parcel post was put in operation the postal au- thorities greatly, desired to include books in fourth class matter, but the publishers, not having an ink1ing as to the proposed rates, protested strenuously and succeeded in keeping books among the third class matter. When they discovered what rates were established for the parcel post, they changed their views abruptly and have since been working to have parcel post privileges extended to books ez

Residents spoke of a strange man of elderly appear ance unshaven, who roamed In the vicinity eating green apples and Der ries Though he could not speak Eng fish he spoke constantly the one word "siheria.'

SCOPE OF PARCEL POST
 IS GREATLY AMPLIFIED
 BY NEW RULES AND RATES
Merchants Speculate As To Possibilities Of Delivery Under New Scheme--C 0. D. Features Of Express Companies
 Embodied

The rates for parcel post packages which go into effect tomorrow open up chances for cheaper deliveries for local merchants. Comm encing to- morrow morning anyone in the United States may mail a package by parcel post weighing up to 20 rounds, provid- ed that the package in question does not go outside of the second zone. The figure is raised from Il pounds. the present limit on parcel post packages.
 The rate of postage is also decreas- ed, being, on parcels weighing more than four ounces, cents for the first pound and cent for each additional two pounds. when instead for local delivery or on any rural route which may start from the local office, and 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound, when in tended for delivery at other offices within the first and second zones. To make specific eases, 5 cents will de liver a package weighing twenty pounds within the limits covered by the local carriers. while a package of the same weight can be delivered by mail practically anywhere in southern New England, the second zone limit, for s24 cents.
 Superintendent of AIaiIs BreckbiIl and other employees of the Bridgeport postofhce figure that this change in the rate will make much more busi- ness Tor the local poStofdce but just how much more they cannot determ- inc.
 Managers of the department stores are making calculations as to the cheapest way of delivering packages. If they care to mail 1t, they can send a ten-pound package to Mill Hill ave nue, to Brewster street, or to Wheel lette street, for 10 cents, or 8 package weighing twice that for 15 cents. It will remain to be seen whether the by their own teams, or autom obiles. re
 If one wants to send a ham or a pair Of chickens across town, or to some one in town from one of the suburbs of Bridgeport, 1t will be seen l that they can be sent cheaper by par eel Iost than by any other means of l transportation.
