not exceed eleven pounds in weignt
or is not greater in dimensions men
seventy-two incites in combined
length and girth, and is not of such
a character its to injure postal em-
ployes or damage equipment or
other mail matter. In a word, it
will include all kinds of merchan-
dise.
The rates are computed on the
distance and on the weight of *m
package in pounds. Provision is
made, however, for small packages
weighing from one to four ounces,
wh'ch may be sent at a flat rate oi
Ic for each ounce, but for packages
weighing more than four ounces,
the pound rate of postage applies
Within the postal district of any
poptofiieo a local1 rate of Bo'for tno

tional pound is prrs*ribed.\ W’thin

zone, the rate is 5c for the first

pound until it reaches a maximum
of 12c a pound for delivery within
the eighth zone. 1,suit miles from
the point, of mailing.
Points Outside ('niloil Stales,
Under tlie regulations by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock the maximum
rate of 12c a pound applies to an
parcels, except those* weighing four
ounces or less, addressed to any
point in Canada. Mexico, Cuba and

mestic rate also applies to any pom'

Provision for l.osi Packages.
Provision is made in tlie law for
tin* indemnification of shippers for
lost packages. The law- prescribes
that by insurance the actual value
of lost, packages will be-given 'o
tin* senders. Postmaster General
Hitchcock has devised a unique sv t
leni .fop 'handling insured parcels
consisting of a shipping tag printc |
with two coupons, one of which is
torn off and given to tlie sender,
the second retained by the postmis
ter, the tag itself being attached to
the p-.ucel anl bearing the mum
and address of the person to whom
U is io be delivered. The fee for
'bis insurance is toe. in tlie event
of loss the government will pay tin
actual value of .tlie contents of the
paekage. not exceeding $50.
'Postmaster General Hitchcock en-
tertains the belief that Jjie parcel!
post is destined to become one of the
most important features of the pus
tnl service.
