MORE LIBERAL PARCEL POST
Is Advocated by Postmaster General
Hitchcock in Report.

Postmaster General Hitchcock in
his annual report tentatively suggests
reduction of some c.cel post ra.es
and increasing the limit of weight be-
yond eleven pounds. 1t also recon-
mends civil pensions for postal en-
ployes an increase in rates on second
class mail, which may pave the way
for one-cent letter postage, and the
consolidation of the third and fourth
classes so books and papers may be
forwarded by parcel post. On this sub
ject the report says:
while the postage rates for the new
parcel post system range consider
ably lower than corresponding express
charges it is believed that experience
will show them to be higher in some
instances than is necessary in order
to maintain the service at cost. Like
wise, the restriction that places an
eleven-pound limit on the weight OF
parcels mailed should be regarded as
merely tentative. After the system Is
thoroughly organized on that basis the
scope of the service, in its usefulness
to the public, should be still further
enlarged by increasing the weight
limit. If properly developed under eli
ficient management the parcel post will
prove to be most important factor IN
reducing the cost OF living"

Manusorlpt Of Thirteenth Century.

While reading a French book of
the sixteenth century in the univ ersity
library, st. Andrews, the German
lecturer, DR.. Schaaffs, noticed some
fragments of an old French poem
which the binder had pasted on back
and covers of the book.
After loosoning them he removed
the glue and out of the four pieces
obtained composed two larger pieces,
parts of two leaves of manuscript
written in a beautiful and clear type
in two columns of thirty-nine lines
each, 144 in all, with red and blue
initials. The names occurring in the
text leave no doubt that the frag-
ments contain parts of the old
French chanson lie Roman de Girard
de Viane," and from the language and
script it appears that the manl script
was written between 1850 and
London Globe.
