BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

With the coming Of the New Year
the United States government will en-.
ter into a new field of enterprise
the transmittaI Of merchandise by
what is known as the parcel post.
For years there has been a demand
tor such a system Of inexpensive
eransmittal Of packages. The camps
Of favor and disfavor of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
Of congress q bill was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only it must be said in little more
than an experimental way.
It is the intention of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly In the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar it viii be, how much it will cost
the government, and whether there Is
to be profit or loss at the end of
each year. If it 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
say they believe 1t is destined to as
gune.
Zore System Explained.
It is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inquir-
les 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
division of the country into zones
and into $4,000 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, of this
zone system, but really 1t is very
ample matter
The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit in which Washington is sit
uated, as the center. Accompanying
the map is a table showing the rate
Of postage per pound for parcels from
to places within all the
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square. Now each unit is q
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 it just exactly
rs Washington has them drawn from
It. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia,
which is in a unit in the fifth zone.
From that viii be drawn circles ex-
actly as they are drawn from Wash
ngton and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, Just as they
are numbered from Washington as
number one. OF course, however,
Zone Six viii have a different geo.
graphical position as related to Keo-
zuk than it has as related to Wash |
ngton. but as the radius of the circles
irawn from keokuk is the same
ength as the radius Of the circles
lrawn from Washington, keokuk's
Zone Six will be just as far from it's
center as Washington's Zone Six is.
How Rates Are Fixed.
It can be seen from this readily |
'nough that the postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone will |
'e the same as the postal rates from
seokuk to its particular zones Each
nit being about thirty miles square
viii of course contain in most cases a
lumber of postoHces. but each Office
n the same unit is considered as be-
as the center OF the circles from

New Preparation.
This is another great danger that
threatens our American home. Each
period in childhood is not given it's
due time to develop. Childhood should
be a time Of preparation for travel,
society and the home Or the profess
sion. One reason Americans make
themselves laughing stocks when they
visit abroad is that they have not
spent the necessary time in study and
preparation.
Finances Important.
The lack of a financial understand
ing between husband and wife is the
cause Of many domestic quarrels.

bride just what his income u.s." she
