Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that postmesters be advised
that parcel post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing unless they bear
a distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card

ton for this class of mail as required
by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments of these
stamps will be ready for shipment to
all postofices in ample time for the
establishment Of the new system on
New Years day.
The postofice department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
1ect OF the parcel post and especially
on the use Of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment of the re-
turn card. The law requires that all
fourth-class matter mailed s,ter Jan.

stamps attached shall be treated as

post packages will be mailable only

designated by the postmasters.

rates OF postage are fixed from the
unit in which the sending postofice is
situated, but the price to every place
IN any zone is just the same. To H.
lustrate, it will cost exactly the same
amount to send a parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that it costs to
send it to Atlanta, Ga, because Erie
and Atlanta with reference to Wash
ington are situated in the fourth
zone. The rates therefore are fixed
from the unit in which the postoffice
is located, but they are the same
from that Office to any point in any

should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express

1t can so compete. It was the ex-
pressed desire of the legislators and
of the postofice officials that the par.

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-.
ger into a new field of enterprise
fhe transmittal of merchandise by
what is known as the parcel post.
For years there has been a demand
for such a system of inexpensive
fransmittal of packages. The camps
20 favor and disfayor of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
pr congress a bill was passed which

than an experimental way.

each year. II 1t is found that the
plan is successful from the point of
view of the people, which means the
government also, the parcel post will
be extended until finally it reaches
The proportions which its proponents
fa1 they believe 1t is destined to as

81! Zone System Explained.
It is. no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inuuir-
tes have been made of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. It was
the law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for a
division of the country into zones
and into $4,000 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
eles which mark the boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, of this
zone system, but really it is a very
simple matter.
The accompanying map shows the
country: divided into zones from the
, unit in which Washington is sit
nated as the center. Accompanying
the map is table showing the rate
pf postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square Now each unit is a
center from which the zones are
drawn and so every unit in the coun-
try no matter where it is situated will
have zones drawn from 1t just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
It. For instance, take Keokuk. Ia,
which is in unit in the fifth zone.
from that will be drawn circles ex-
actly as they are drawn from Wash
lngton and they will be numbered from
Aeokuk as number one, just as they
are numbered from Washington as
number one. OF course, however,
Zone Six will have a different geo.
graphical position as related to Keo-
kuk than it has as related to Wash
lngton, but as the radius of the circles
nrawn from Keokuk is the same
length as the radius of the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk's
Zone Six will be Just as far from its
eenter as Washington's Zone Six is.
How Rates Are Fixed.
It can be seen from this readily
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone will
be the same as the postal rates from
Keokuk to its particular zones. Each
