ZONES-POSTAL GUIDE AND KEYS .- For parcel post purposes the United States is divided into units of area 30 minutes square, which form the basis of eight postal zones. To ascertain in which zone a post office is located from the office of mailing it is first necessary to find the unit number of the office of address and then refer to the zone key for the mailing office. The unit numbers are shown in the State list of post offices in the Official Postal Guide. The guide is applicable to all offices, but a separate zone key is required for each unit. Space is pro- vided for the insertion of a zone number opposite the name of each post office in the guide. For in- formation relative to obtaining guides and keys.

possessions; (7) between the United States and its naval vessels stationed in foreign waters; (8) between the United States and its Expedi- tionary Forces in Europe; and other places where the United States mail service is in operation.
The rate of postage on gold coin, gold bullion, and gold dust offered for mailing between any two points in Alaska, or between any point in Alaska and any point in the United States or its possessions, is 2 cents an ounce or fraction thereof, regardless of distance. Such gold coin, gold bullion, or gold dust must be inclosed in sealed packages not exceeding 11 pounds in weight and sent by registered mail.
CANADA, CUBA, MEXICO, AND REPUBLIC OF PANAMA .- The rate of 12 cents for each pound or fraction thereof also applies to fourth- class matter, including seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions, and plants (but excepting books and other printed matter, on which the rate is 1 cent for each 2 ounces or fraction thereof in all cases), weighing more than 4 ounces and not exceeding 4 pounds, 6 ounces when mailed to Canada, Cuba, Mexico and the Republic of Panama. (Parcels weighing up to 20 pounds may be sent to Mexico and the Republic of Panama as foreign parcel post mail under the parcel post conventions with those countries.)
.
WAR STAMP TAX ON FOURTH-CLASS (PARCEL POST) MAIL .- Under the war revenue act of October 3, 1917, parcels transported from one point in the United States to another by parcel post, on which the postage amounts to 25 cents or more, are subject to a warstamp tax of 1 cent for each postage charge of 25 cents or fractional part of 25 cents. The amount paid for special delivery, insurance, or C. O. D. fees is not counted in determining the tax. There is no tax on parcels subject to less than 25 cents postage. The tax on a parcel chargeable with 25 cents postage is 1 cent; on parcels subject to from 26 cents to 50 cents postage the tax is 2 cents each, and so on. Internal-revenue stamps must be used to pay the tax. Postage stamps are not valid therefor. Internal-revenue stamps affixed to parcels in payment of the tax must be canceled with ink by the sender placing or causing to be placed thereon his written or stamped initials, together with the date upon which the stamps are attached or used, but in no case shall the sender cancel the postage stamps affixed to parcels; the latter may be canceled only by postal employees. Postmasters shall not accept parcels for mailing unless the required war-stamp tax is prepaid thereon. Those deposited without having the tax paid will be returned to the sender. Internal-revenue stamps for use in paying such tax may be purchased from postmasters.
The war-stamp tax does not apply to parcels sent to (1) United States Expeditionary Forces abroad, (2) Porto Rico, (3) Philippine Islands, (4) Canal Zone, (5) Virgin Islands of the United States, (6) Guam, (7) United States naval vessels, (8) parcels addressed to foreign countries, (9) official parcels mailed by Federal or State officers or employees, and (10) certain parcels mailed by the American Red Cross in connection with war work for benefit of United States.
THE LIMIT OF WEIGHT of fourth-class matter is 70 pounds for parcels mailed for delivery within the first, second, and third zones, and 50 pounds for all other zones, including Manila, P. I., but parcels for other places in those islands may not exceed 20 pounds. For limit of weight for parcels sent to or from United States Expedi- tionary Forces in Europe, inquire of postmaster.
LIMIT OF SIZE .- Parcels may not exceed 84 inches in length and girth combined. In measur- ing a parcel the greatest distance in a 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 35 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 5 inches high measures 65 inches in length and girth combined.
NAME AND ADDRESS OF SENDER .- A parcel of fourth-class matter may not be accepted for mailing unless it bears the name and address of the sender, which should be preceded by the word "from."
ADDITIONS TO FOURTH-CLASS MAIL .- Any marks, numbers, names, or letters for pur- pose of description may be placed on fourth-class matter or on the wrapper or cover, tag or label.
There may be written on the blank leaves or cover of any book a simple manuscript dedication or inscription not in the nature of personal cor- respondence. Space sufficient for a legible address, postmark, and the necessary postage stamps must be left on the address side of parcels.
Inscriptions such as "Merry Christmas," "With best wishes," "Do not open until Christ- mas," or words to that effect may be written on fourth-class mail, or on a card inclosed there- with.
INCLOSURES .- There may be inclosed with fourth-class matter a written or printed invoice showing the name and address of the sender and of the addressee; the names and quantities of articles inclosed, together with inscriptions indi- cating "for purpose of description," the price, style, stock number, size, and quality of the articles; the order or file number, date of order, and date and manner of shipment; and the initial or name of the salesman, or of the person by whom the articles were packed or checked.
