MAP OUT NEW ZONES Postmasters have received no- tice from Washington of a ser- ies of changes in the operation of the parcel post system, Including an increase in the maximum weight limit on packages, a rate of reduction in the postage within the first and second zones, and the 'substitution of a convenient rate chart for the parcel post map In determining ' postage rates. Since the establishment of the par eel post system numerous requests have been received at the postofflce department for an Increase in the maximum weight limit of packages and corresponding reduction in the rates of postage. Changes Effective Aug. 15. After weeks of consideration ot the aubject, Postmaster-General Burleson submitted to the Interstate commerce commission and obtained Its consent to the following changes, which are to be effective on Aug. 15: The first tone shall Include the ter- ritory Within the local delivery of any office and the first zone rate of postage will apply to all parcel post mail deposited at any office for local delivery or for delivery by city car- rier or on rural routes emanating from that postofflce. The second zone shall include the remainder of what is now the first cone, together with the present sec- ond zone, and shall include all the units of area located in whole or in part within a radius of approximate- ly 160 miles from any given postofflce. The rate of postage on parcels weighing in excess of four ounces in the proposed first zone, that is, for local delivery, will be reduced from 6 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound or fraction thereof, to 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional two pounds or fraction thereof. " Thorate for the proposed second rone, that is, the territory embraced within a radius of 150 miles from any given postofflce, will bo reduced from 5 cents for the first pound and 3 cents for each additional pound (the present flrBt zone rate), or 6 cents for the first pound and 4 cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof (the present second zone rate), to 6 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound or fraction thereof. The maximum weight of parcel post packages will be Increased from eleven poundB to twenty pounds, the Increase of weight to apply only to the first and second zones. No change has been made In the restrictions as to the size and form of the package. Postmaster-General Burleson states th/it the changes decided upon: are somewhat in the nature of an experi- ment, and that it is expected that experience gained in their operation will afford a valuable basis upon which to predicate future changes in reduc- ing rates of postage and.In Increasing the limit of weight The statistics collected by the department snow that at least one-third of the total number of parcels are handled within the first and second zone*, now to be consolidated into one zone. Under regulations adopted by the postmaster-general the" use of dis- tinctive stamps is no longer manda- tory, and the public is now permitted to mall parcels with ordinary stamps affixed. Insurance Fee Reduced. The Insurance fee, which originally was 10 cehta, was found to be exces- sive, and Postmaster-General Burleson has by order, effective July 1, 1913. reduced to 6 cents the fee on par- cels Insured to actual value up to $25 and a lO^ent fee is exacted only on parcels insured to actual value of more than $25 and not exceeding $50. Under this arrangement the busi- ness of Insuring packages has more than doubled, particularly in the send- ing of valuable merchandise. WIU. TAKE ANYTHING. An iron door for a vault in the ' Dr. Mary G. McEwen of Bvans- ton, state health chairman of the General Federation of Women's clubs, has received a letter from Mrs. S. 8. Crockett, chairman of the public health department of the federation, calling attention to the great service of the club women of America in help- ing to make a success of the fourth International, Congress .on. 4School Hygiene,^wiach V«"W held la*Bft- falo the last week in August and which is being supported by the gen- eral federation, under the presidency of Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker. Mrs. Crockett has this to say in her letter: "The public health committee of the General Federation of Women's clubs suggests that women's organisa- tions generally shall endeavor to take advantage of the International School Hygiene congress at Buffalo In Au- gust so that in.their respective com- munities new interest may be awak- ened because of this great interna- tional meeting. Please remember that all those who attend this congress will be furnished with the printed proceedingsâ€"a veritable library of scientific information on the subject" The suggestion offered by Mrs. Crockett is that the-club women of this state urge the appointment of delegates to the Buffalo congress from the following organizations: School boards, health boards, boards of trade, school improvement associations, pub- lic educational associations, parent- teachers' association and others. - Accompanying the letter was a re- port on national vitality prepared by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale for the national conservation commission. In part It says: "(a) With us, W~lveTT~airTh meet European countries, children are com- pelled by the state to attend school for a number of years. Many of them suffer constantly from defective vis- ion, hearing and respiration, from nervous overstrain and from other ail- ments which are greatly aggravated by the confinement and stress of life. " (b) Pupils are always exposed to Infectious diseases. It is no unusual .thing in our country to see a contag ious disease sweep througlf a whole school so rapidly that the local board of health can hear of it and order the school closed only after the harm has been done. "(c) Great as la the Injury done by the spread of Infectious diseases to children thus massed together in schools, the injury resulting from Im- perfect seating, lighting, ventilation and sanitation of school buildings is still more serious." FIREMARSHALPREPARES FOR CHIMNEY FIRES Old "One Horse Shay" Is Being Placed in Commission for Emergencies. Fire Marshal Carl Harrison Evanston Is planning to be readiness for the large of fire alarms given ot In number In the fall and winter months on account of faulty chimneys. One of the old hose wagons in use before the automobile apparatus was purchased, Is being fitted up with shafts so that it can be pressed into service in an emer- gency. Enough hose will he placed; on the wagon to be used in any resi- dence firt. In explaining the necessity of rig- ging up the old wagon Fire Marshal Harrison- states that in an Instance when the big auto combination truck was on a run with other equipment, no hose was available at the Central engine bouse in case a second alarm was sounded before the firemen re- turned. To bo equipped for this emer- gency, the old "one-horse shay" Is being fitted out with shafts.

Tbo Bvanston police have asked to loin In the nation-wide search which is being made for Clifton Whall, an 18-year-old boy, who has been missing from his home in At- lantic, Mass., since May 24. The youth is described as being 6 feet 10 inches tan, weight 160 pounds, and of dark complexion. Hie mother has •est appeals to police cbiefaih many cnJes, Included In which Mat CWaf Shaffer was been Just now much concern is occa- sioned among the fraternity men of Northwestern university over tempo- rary quarters to accommodate nearly two hundred Greek letter men when college opena in September. The building trades lockout "which haa Just been settled; has continued so long that the best prediction made now la that the new dormitories for the several societies will not be reddy tor occupancy until December 1. •*• few Evanitonlans conversant with building matters declare that It wftl almost be in impossibility to have the buildings ready by January l. With- such conditions staring them in tfib tncu, tate "frit" members ot the seven Greek letteer societies who sur- rendered the leases on the old quar- ters at the end of the school year last month, are now scurrying about try- ing to get accommodations for the tew months until their new quartern are ready. The following is the list of so- cieties, members of which are st pres- ent "homeless": Sigma Alpha BJpsl- lon, Phi Kappa Psl, Delta Tau Delta, Delta TJpsilon, Beta Theta PI and the Scribblers. Up to "Fret" Men. Many peraona have been of the opin- ion that the university officials hail given a definite promise to the frater- nity men that the new buildings would be ready tor occupancy on Octo- ber 1, and consequently thought that It would be up to the college authori- ties to cast about and secure accom- modations for the men. However* this is the wrong view, according to W. A. Dyche, one of the university of- ficials, who states that the fraternity men are aware of the fact that it ia their own task to secure quarters un- til the new buildings are completed. Clyde Foster, business representa- tive of the Sigma Alpha Bpsilon, states that his society probably will secure the ol4-o^«arters in the 14100 block, Hinman avenue, for the few weeks until the new structure was finished. There is another phase to the build- ing sftaatlon and thatTlslhe danger <to the health of, the students and fra- ternity men from occupying the fresh ly plastered buildings just as soon as the workmen leave the places, it is stated that every new building should be thoroughly dried before occupied because of the extremely dangerous poisonous fumes which are given off by green plaster. Prominent realty men declare that experience has taught that a new building had better stand idle for weeks upon completion to allow it to dry thoroughly tnan that chances should be taken by the occupants moving In hastily and con- tracting sickness from the plaster poison. "They talk about the germs and all of that, but believe me I would rather run chances of drinking water out of. a sewer than breathing the fumes from a newly plastered house," said one pi'onunent Evanatoir realty man in discussing the situation which con- froats the students who may occupy the Duflatng before tttratlowed to dry thoroughly. "Plastering is something that requires moch time to dry out and you cannot hurry it either," he continued, "and 1 should think that due precaution would need be taken in i&e case of the students." In the event this advice is taken into consideration it will be well along into the month ci January, 1914, before the new dormitories are occupied. One more brick has been thrown Into the building- machinery follow- ing the resumption of" work. The lockout forced many workers in the building craft to seek employment in other cities and when it was settled at last it was found that hundreds of tradesmen were not available for the various big contracting jobs in this section. At the dormitories only about three-fourths of the workmen needed reported for work Monday. About 160 men an? on the Job,'but 175 and ewes *06 could be used advan- tsgeoosly.' The same condition exists In Chicago and no relief la In sight unless a large number of workmen are A warm verbal combat staged by Aldermen Burns and Turnock wasthe feature of the Bvanston city council meeting Tuesday night Both Burns and Turnock warmed up early, and when the final tilt came they were in grand form, each having his throat clear and ready for action. The climax canie when Ald^rnla* Hummelgaard, chalrnma of the aueifi- lng conimmee^ read A number of bllu and moved that they be paid. In- cluded in the long list waa oar' for $850, charged to the street and alley department When this was read with the others and the vote taken, Alder- man Burns said that the I860 was for the purchase of an automobile, and asked that a â-  mperate vote be taken. on this item. When the names were called Bums and Witt voted against it Business then proceeded quietly until Alderman -Turnock read a resolu- tion stating that the Glen View car line could not obtain power from the Chicago it Milwaukee BSectrle road, and asked that permission be granted the Northwestern Elevated road to supply the "juice," When the alder- man from the Fourth moved the passage of the resolution. Burns arose and made a bitter attack on Turnock, saying that he was favoring class leg- islation and that he was trying to put the motion through as a favor to a few golfers, who, apparently, were out ot linen and, wanted to find some means of getting their laundry to .them. After several warm retorts, In which personalities were dealt in, it was put to a vote, the resolution carrying by a vote of 11 to 2. At the opening of the meeting Alder- man Turnock asked for a suspension of the rules for the passage of two Gymnasium Was Friday NWif?tp* Ver| hstrahs* unOentral PROGRAM ^W**SSS1SJSS^ Beorstair Dale and w« cossmfttee in charge, that ma^oon^sjtt;.%r•:ls^*as>; kegee band, orchestra anil glee club, firm Friday evening in IwiitlnJ k»M* teYei|s]g»iB«7:.Bw\'^^^ size exceeded their fondest expecta- tions.
