The post office department, dur ing the month of November, is Nib serving National Parcel Post Month and is endeavoring to inform the public with every means at its com mand of the facilities that are avail able for mailing and receiving pack ages. This month marks the twenty fifth anniversary of the inauguration of this particular service by post offices throughout the United States. Domestic parcel post (fourth class matter includes merchandise, farm and factory products, gifts, clothing, personal articles, in fact everything that can be properly packed for transportation in the mails, that weighs over eight ounces and that does not contain writing. The minimum weight for parcel post is determined by whether the package weighs under eight ounces or over, if under, it is classed as third class. matter and subject to postage at the rate of lc per each two ounces or fraction thereof, if over it is classed as parcel post and the amount of postage chargeable de pends on the weight of the package and the distance it will travel in the mall. The maximum weight of any parcel post package is 70 pounds, regardless of distance. There is also a limit of size of par cel post. Packages may not exceed 100 inches In length and girth com bined. In measuring a parcel the greatest distance in n straight line between the ends (but not around the parcel) is taken as its length, while the distance around the parcel at its thickest part is taken as its girth. For example a parcel 36 inches long, 12 inches wide and 16 inches high measures 94 inches in length and girth combined and is acceptable for mailing. Packages should be carefully pack ed to withstand handling while in transit. For transportation on trains. parcels are placed in mail sacks and these sacks are usually handled quite swiftly, on some occasions being al lowed to drop several feet onto a truck or platform. Under the cir cumstances if patrons would pack their parcels with the expectation of having them receive such handling while en route, the danger of break age would be considerably lessened. Parcels may be sent anywhere within the United States or to any of its possessions at domestic rates. These rates vary according to weight and distance. There are 560 different rates. For example a ten-pound package may be sent from Platts mouth to Omaha for 18c, to Chicago for 42c, to Los Angeles for 75c, to the Canal Zone for $1.14. Parcels may be insured against loss, rifling, or damage, by the pay ment of small additional fees; in case of unsatisfactory condition on arrival, the sender can file a claim which should be paid within one month.
