"Woman's place IN the world Is 10

that more and more in her club WORK
said Mrs John Francis Yawger, first wee
president of the City Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs.
1.-THE present club season, when prac-
tically ends this week. has made me re-
alize that women are reaching tnei
proper level through work for humanity
Woman was put here TO do the most TOT
everybody that she can. In the nome
she serves as wife and mother and out
of the home she ought to do all sne can
in the service Of mankind
Time was when women's clubs met
for reading and discussing poems or TOT
their own social amusement, but they
have begun TO branch out and even the
smaller clubs out in the country districts
go in for civic improvement. / was much
impressed with the work they are doing
at the recent meeting Of the State fed-
Grafton. They are civic nurses and house,
keepers. and many of them have done
notable work in the housecleanins oil
their villages"
Mrs Yawger thinks the most successful
big bit Of work done BY the cluowomen
this year was the securing of the appro-
priation for the Bedford Reformatory
THE biggest disappointment OF the
year was the Legislatures failure 10 pass
the bill for widowed mothers pensions
Another disappointment was the failure
Of the milk bill TO pass, but we shall con-
tinue 10 work next year for both those
measures" said Mrs. Yawger.
In reply to the statement often made
that the woman suffrage movement has
weakened the clubs by diyerting the ac-
tivities OF some of the clubs best work
ers. Mrs. Yawger said that the women's
clubs were never so strong as they are
to-day and that in many ways they and
the sunragists were working hand in
hand.

PARCEL POST CRITICISED
Mail Order Men Tell Their tx
perienCe with New System.
ZONE RATE TROUBLESOME
Would Be Better for Govern
ment and Shippers to Pay by
Bulk They Tell Officials.

Criticisms OF the parcel post and sue-
gestions for its bettcrment were made
Yesterday by representatives Of several
biz mail order houses Of the city al a
meeting i'm the Merchants Association
rooms. in the Woolworth Building. The
meeting was called at the request of the
Postoffice Department. and was at
tended by j. NJ. Masten, f. T. Bushnell
and c. II. Mcbride. representatives of the
department.
Jacob Rubel. general manager of the
Standard Mail order Company, thought
the postoffice should discard sacks and
ne hampers, which would eliminate dam
age 10 merchandise He said that when
the service was started his firm shipped
200 to 500 packages daily, but found that
so much damage was done by packages
being crushed that about half their ship
: ments were made by express.
Mr. Rubel was opposed also TO the use
Of special stamps. lie said all mail or
der houses received from customers large
numbers OF stamps. and as they seldom
sent in parcel post stamps, his firm was
rapidly accommodating a great quantity Of
ordinary stamps which. under present
conditions could not be used
Government insurance OF packages, ne
said was too expensive and cumbersome
He contended that the government should
adopt an insurance rate of about five or
six cents for a hundred dollars value
Mr.. Rubel urged that the government
abolish the zone rate system and sdvo-
Gated a system whereby shippers might
deliver merchandise in bulk TO the post
Office and have il weighed in bulk. set
Ting with the postoffice daily, making
unnecessary the affiXing of stamps and
eliminating the damage and cost Of can
collation..
William O'Meara. representing Peter
Henderson & Co, also advocated fiat
rate based on weight He contended that
the averager user of parcel post would
be willing to pay little more than the
average zone rate II permitted to ship
and pay by bulk.
1t was generally admitted that the use
Of precancelled parcels stamps would do
much TO save much annoyance and labor.
Edward NJ. Morgan Postmaster Of New
York. said he could see no reason why
precancelled stamps could not be used.
D. O. Haynes. Of Haynes & Co.. pub
fishers. said he could not understand why
the Post Office Department should dis
crlminste against books by parcels post.
especially as such shipments made con-
venient packages He pleaded that books
be admitted 10 the parcel post believing
T. would increase the business Of pub
fishers.
Lewis B. Bement. OF the Dennson
Manufacturing Company, said that out Of
5000 packages shipped by parcel post not
a loss was reported, and he considered
the service absolutely satisfactory.
Aussel H. Ball of Best & Co., said his
firm encountered a great deal Of trouble
with merchandise returned by patrons
through out-of-town postmasters accept
ing improperly packed parcels Mr.. Ball
found the service otherwise satisfactory.
The Postoffice Department committee
will remain in the city to-day inspecting
the work of mail order houses.
