Every postmaster in the United
States will have parcel post map
like the one which Is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit of his postofice
as q center. All that a postmaster
will have to do when a parcel Is pre-
sented for transportation Is to find
out in what zone the destination of
the package lies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound from
the unit in which his postofice lies
to the zone Of the packages destina-
tions, the price as has been explained
before, to every postoffice in any one
zone being the same. The parcel post
will take nothing but fourth-class mat
ter. Printed matter Is still in the
third-class designation. Therefore
books cannot be sent by the parcel
post system. This the postofice au-
thorities seem to think Is in way
unjust and may work hardship. 1t
may be that in the future the law will
be changed 80 as to include all print
ed matter It seems to be certain that
an attempt will be made to bring
about this change as speedily as pos
sible.
Must Bea. Stamp.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that postmasters 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
Of the sender. A series Of distinctive
stamps is now In course of prepara-
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 postof1ces in ample time for the
establishment of the new system on
New Years day.
The postofflce department has given
instruction to every postmaster IN the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
ject 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
uary 1, 1913, without parcel post
stamps attached shall be treated as
"Held for postage" matter. Parcel
post packages will be mailable only
at postoffices, branch postoflces, let
tered and local named stations, and
such numbered stations as may be
designated by the postmasters.
II has been announced by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock that nearly TO-
600 scales will be required for use in
the parcel post system which Is to go
into effect January 1st. He has ac-
cordingly authorized the Issuance OF
bids for that number. Two hundred
of the largest postoffices and their
branches will be supplied with auto
matte springless scales. The next
class of Offices, numbering about TO-
900, will be given high grade beam
scale, while the four class offices,
numbering about $4,000, will be fur
nished with the best spring balances
obtainable, each having capacity for
twenty pounds. These scales will be
used by postmasters to determine the
amount of postage required on parcel
post packages. The fact that many

BY EDWARD B. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-
ter into a new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by
what Is known as the parcel post.
For years there has been demand
for such system Of inexpensive
transmittal 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 a bill was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only 1t 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 1t will be, how much 1t 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 1t reaches
the proportions which its proponents
say they believe 1t Is destined to as
sumo.
Zone System Explained.
It is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inquir-
les have been made Of the postmaster
- ,r% xr,ho
post will mean to the people. 1t 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
cles which mark the boundaries OF
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, Of this
zone system, but really 1t Is a very
simple 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 q table showing the rate
of 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
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
1t. For instance, take Keokuk, la.'
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
Keokuk 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
ington, but as the radius of the circles
drawn 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
center 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
unit being about thirty miles square
will Of course contain in most cases a
number of postof1ces, but each Office
in the same unit Is considered as be-
ing the center Of the circles from
