tant changes in parcl regula
tions including general reduction in
rates and increase maximum weights,

ions were made upon recommendation
of Postmaster General Burleson, and
In a majority of cases an effective
January 1, 1914. Books are admitted I
to the parcel post: weight limits frre
increased in the first and second /.ones
from 20 to 50 pounds, and In all zones
beyond the second from 11 to. 20
pounds and rates are reduced in the
third, fourth ^and sixth zones. ,
REDUCTION IN RATES.
The changes in rates to be in ef
fect January 1. 1914 follow:

zone from seven -cents for the first
pound and five cents for each addi
tional pound to six cents for the first j

zone from 10 cents for the first pound
and nine cents for each additional

TO PROMOTE SERVICES TO PUBLIC
"It seems obvious," says a statement j
by the commission, "that the service
to the public will be promoted by
these changes provided t??.e revenue
from the service be not lei; than the
cost thereof. Experience ieems to
show clearly that the revet ..3 will not
be less than thee ost of the nervice.
INCREASED WEIGHT ALLOWANCE.
"We can conceive of no opposition
to the increased weights and reduced
rates except from the carriers that
transport the mails. We have heard
some objections from them on the
ground that the increased weight
should not be permitted until provi
sion for additional compensation to
the carriers has been made."
BOOKS BY PARCEL POST MARCH
16TH.
It Is provided by the Postmaster
General with the consent of the com
mission. "that the rate of postage on
parcels containing books weighing
eight ounces or less shall be one cent
for each two ounces or fractional part
thereof, and on those^weighing in ex
cess of eight ouncs, the zone parcel
rates shall apply."
This is to be effective March 16,
1914.
Consent also was given to admis
sion of shipments of gold, gold bul
lion and gold dust in Alaska and to
and from Alaska in packages weigh
ing not more than eleven pounds.
The rate of postage fixed is two cents
an ounce or fraction thereof for all
distances. "
EXTENSION OP LIMIT HAS BEEN
The Postmaster General issued an
order exective August 15 last increas
ing the weight limit in the first and
second zones from 11 to 20 pounds and
materially reducing the rates of post
age for these zones and stated at that
time that this step was in the nature
of an "experiment," and a statement
issued tonight by the Postofflce De
partment. rt After these changes had
been in operation for some time a
record was kept of the nuir^r of par
cels bandied in a large numb ? of rep
resentatives postofflces throu. hout the
United States and the repor'r. receiv
ed from these offices shon that the
changes in the service _ ji been
greatly appreciated by the public."
HELP 8CHOOL8, LIBRARIE

relating to books that It "has strongly
been urged by circulating libraries,
schools, colleges and publishers ever
