AGlance at Current

Washington, Aug. 27.-The recent
changes in the parcel post include an
increase from eleven pounds to twen-
ty pounds in the maximum weight of
parcels. a material reduction in the
postage rates in the first and second
zones and the abandonment of the par
Gel post map as a means of computing
rates and the substitution for 1t Of a
rate chart i~ndividualized to every post
office in the United States.
ut is my expectation and belief"
said Postmaster General Burleson,
that eventually-and it may be fif-
e or twenty ~years-the postal serv-
ice will handle practically all of the
small package transportation business
in the United States. The maximum
weight limit. extended now from elev-
en- to twenty pounds. l expect to see
increased to 100 pounds, and experience
may demonstrate the practicability Of
handling the parcel business at ever
lower rates than we now propose.
The changes which are now in force
are as follows:
The first zone shall include the territory
within the local delivery of any office. and
the first zone rate of postage will apply
to all parcel post mail deposited at any
Office for local delivery or for delivery by
city carrier or m rural routes ennanatlng
from that postotfice.
The second zone shall include the re-
mainder of what is now the first zone, to-
gether with the present second zone, and
shall include all the units of area located
in whole or in part within a radius of
approximately $50 miles from any given
postOffice.
The rate OF postage on parcels weighing
in excess Of four ounces in the proposed
first zone is reduced from $ cents for the
first pound and I cent for each additional
pound or fraction thereof to 3 cents for
the first pound and l cent for each addl-
tional two pounds or fraction thereof, and
the rate for the second zone is reduced
from ) cents for the first pound and 3
cents for each additional pound or 6 cents
for the first pound and 4 cents for each
additional pound or fraction thereof to .
cents for the first pound and l cent for
each additional pound or fraction thereof.
The maximum weight Of parcel post
packa ees is increased from eleven pounds
to twenty pounds, the increase of weight
to apply only to the first and second
zones. No change has been made in the
size or form of the package.

Annual Roundup Of Sneezers.

Bethlehem, y. H., Aug. 26.-This is
the heyday Of hay fever and an appro-
pirate time for the holding of the an
nual convention of the United States
Hay Fever association, which is a real
organization and not a creation of the
humorists, as many persons suppose.
since this annual visitant to the
afflicted has had a name and status in
the list of human misfortunes there
have been heroic attempts to accom-
plish its destruction. Fake remedies
there have been a-plenty, and the Hay
Fever association loses no opportunity
to pay them its respects. But while
skeptical the members are always
ready to listen to new suggestions be-
tween sneezes.

Road Acres For Farms.

Topeka. Kan. Aug. PA law that
would add thousands of acres, now
lying idle at the roadsides, to the
farms of Kansas will be urged by
Governor Hodges on the next legisla-
ture. This law would make the stand
ard country road twenty-four feet
wide. At present most of the roads
are sixty or more feet wide but not
more than twenty-four feet are used.
The proposed measure would grant a
strip along each side of the present
highways to the adjoining farms.
Governor Hodges says Of the plan:
The edges of most of the roads as
now constructed are waste. The grad
ing usually stops about ten feet from
the fence line. leaving room for a
good city sidewalk on either side
which is never needed or used. Tall
weeds grow there, and it makes room
for uncut hedges. A trim road twen-
ty-four feet wide, finished from fence
to fence. would be easier to care for
and better looking and would answer
every purpose Of the present roads.
The longest motorcar could turn
around in it. and the largest loads of
hay would pass.
"In the aggregate large areas would
be turned to USE
