Driving for Women
Becoming Simple
George R. Daniels, vice president nnd
general manager of the Oakland. Moior
far company of Pontlac, discussed re
cently the question of "The Woman
Driver and tho Automobile," stating
that the Improvements on gasollno cars
had now done away with the objections
offered In some quarters against the
gasoline car for woman's use.
"Women, as well as men today," he
raid, "can learn tho Ins and outs of
motoring within a few days by "reason
of the simplified construction of gasoline
cars. Time was when a woman had
more or less anxiety about attempting
to handle cars of this character, biit
everything Is now so simple that the
manipulation of the lever and pedals bo
comes natural; In fact, almost auto
matic In a short while. For Instance, 'n
the Oakland ear the spark and throttle
lovers are oh the steering wheel, the
clutch and brake pdal at your right.
Their proper nnd Instantaneous handling
requires but little practice."

For parcels post matter a distinctive set
of postage stamps has been provided.
These distinctive stumps must be used
for all parcels post matter. If tho pack
ages bear ordinary postage stamps they
will be held for postage.
Detnils AVork.'il tint.
Immediately upon tho enactment of the
parcels post law. Postmaster General
Hitchcock appointed a commlttco of
postnl officials to work out the details
of the new system and to put It Into
operation. Tho committee consists of tho
highest authorities on all phases of postal
administration. Its personnel Is Robert
S. Sharp, chief postofflce Inspector, chair
man; J. C. Ktjons, superintendent of
salaries and allowances; C. H. Hurrey.'
chief clerk to the third assistant post
master general; G. L. Wood, superin
tendent of rural malls, and A. A. Fisher,
chief clerk to the second assistant post
master, general. Assoclnted with the com
mittee In on advisory capacity is George
G Thomson, chief clerk of the 'Post
office department These officials have
developed the .plan of the parcels post and
prepared thu details of Its operation.
The drafting of regulations to govern
matter transmitted by parcels post was
personally directed by Postmaster General
Hitchcock. One of these regulations Is
that each parcel mailed must bear on
Its face the nnme and address of the
sender preceded by tho word "From."
Parcels Intended for dispatch must be
mailed tit a postofflce, branch postofflce,
named or lettered station or ouch num
bered station ns may bo designated by
the postmaster. They must not be placed
In or upon letter boxes or package boxes
located in city streets. The ma' be
given, however, to nny rural or star route
carrier. Purcels must not be sealed and
must be so prepared ns to permit of easy
examination, such parcels as contain two
or more classes of mall matter are charge
able with postage at the rate prescribed
for the higher class.
Hum OliNfeiip Mutter.
All matter which Is declared unmall
ablo by law will bo unmallable aa parcels
post mutter. This Includes obscene, in
decent and immoral matter, intoxicating
liquors, poisons, live unlmulu, birds
and poultry. Inflammable articles and
such things as raw hides or pelts or
other nrUcIes having bad odor. The
regulations prescribe minutely methods to
be used In packing parcels. Liquids and
oils, paste and Halves, sharp Instru
ments, Ink powders, pepper and snuff,
must be plated in water-tight receptacles
nnd In many Instances surrounded by
absorbent material to prevent damage
to other mail matter.
I Articles such as millinery, toys, musical
Instruments and glassware must d
labeled "fragile."
One of the Interesting features of the
regulations concerns perlshablj articles.
In this class aro placed butte-r, lard, fish,
fresh meats, dressed fowls," vegetables
and fruits nnd berries. Provision Is
mado for- carrying almost every article
produced on, the farm except live animals
nnd live fowls. In the local zone llttlo
packing is required. Within the' first
zone that Is for a shipment of fifty
miles all these articles musl Iks en

General Hitchcock has devised ii Unique
system of handling Insured parcels, con
