Oscar S. Straus was much impressed
with the social legislation of England
and compliments Mr.. Lloyd-George, the
minister who has been so useful in OBJ
tanning the new measures. He credits
Mr.. lloyd George with great vision and
great tact, and says that there is
nothing theatrical about him. In deal
ing with his colleagues and, in fact, in
his official dealings, the eminent Welsh
man does show these qualities, but
when out on the stump appearing be
fore a sympathetic audience, he has
sometimes thrown discretion to the
winds. He has been not altogether I'M
fairly charged with stirring up class
hatred, and some of his speeches arc
by no means free from traces Of the
demagog, though his enemies are prob
ably wrong IN calling him one.

Weight Limit Now Raised From
II to 20 Pounds.
MORE PACKAGES HANDLED,
New Rule Presents Special Advantages
to the Merchant Through Consolida-
ton of Zones-BurIeson Sends Presi-
dent Wilson Seventeen Pounds OF
Peaches.

The extension of the parcel post
rule, just made effective, raising the
weight limit on packages from eleven
to twenty pounds and consolidating
the first and second zones. thus max
ing single and cheaper rate for all
localities within q radius Of approx
mately $50 miles from any given post
office, has already resulted in q mark
ed Increase III the number of packages
carried by the government. and this
number is steadily increasing from day
to day.
The first day after the rule went into
effect the governments parcel bust
ness, especially In the vicinity of the
larger cities, took such a jump that it
necessitated the sending out Of a hurry
call for help by the parcel post clerks,
and in many cases postmaSters found
it necessary to transfer some of the
other clerks to the parcel post depart
ment to tide over the rush.
This sudden increase in the parcel
post business was not anticipated in
most instances, as it was believed that
the growth of new business would
be slow and that the benefits of the
reduced rates would not be taken al.
vantage OF by the public at once. The
] reason for the sudden jump in the
number of parcels mailed under the
new rule. it was explained by postal
/ officials, is accounted for by the fact
/ that many of the department stores OF
/ the larger cities had anticipated the
I rule becoming effective and had pro.
i ceeded at once to ship their suburban
/ deliveries by mail
Arrangements are now being made
/ by the n0Stmasters of most large cities
to augment their facilities for handling
the additional business. Il thing that
I most of them had not contemplated do
ing before the beginning of the au
tumn rush.
Advantages to the Merchant.
While the new rule obviously greatly
benefits the public, it has in it ever
greater advantages for the merchant
as it enables him TO send his merchan
disc to any point within n radius Of
80 miles at a cost of > cents for pack
ages weighing pound or less and III
additional penny for each pound over
that weight. Prior TO the rule becom
ing effective this rate applied to pack
ages sent to points within a radius o.
fifty miles, but parcels sent to point:
within the second zone cost cents FOL
the first pound or fraction thereof an(
an additional 4 cents for each extr;
pound
The following table shows the new
rates of postage in the first and SECOND
zones:
