Jumped prices for corn, barley ahd
rice flour, it is said, to such an extent
that bakers will be unable to handle

FREIGHT EMB ARGOS
BURDEN MAID SERVICE
WASHINGTON: Freight embargo*
and weather delays to freight ship
ments have thrown a heavy new bur
den on the mall service by adding
thousands of tons of parcels post.
Otto Praeger. second assistant post
master general, said today that
steamers were being used for the first
time in carrying parcels post.
Owing to missed connections and
weather conditions, deliveries now
are from twelve to twenty-four hours
late between New York and Chicago
and from twenty-four to forty-eight
hours to the Pacific coast.
Nightly-‘parcels post service by
steamer from New York to Norfolk
has been put into effect with a sche
dule of nineteen and one-half hours,
faster than by train in the present
blizzard. Distribution of westbound
mail is being done after the mail
crosses the Mississippi instead of at
New York. Added track and ware
house facilities have been obtained,
Mr. Praeger said, and the department
is prepared to handle any increase in
business if the interstate commerce
commission decides to put into effect
the proposed fifty-pound weight limit.
Instead of twenty pounds. Parcels
post business in December was 1,173,
000 sacks more than in the same
month in 1916.

AN ACCIDENT
“A resident of the Bowery took an
accident insurance policy and then I
fell ill of pleurisy. He brought action |
against the insurance company and !
lost in the municipal court, which de-,
cidod that pleurisy was not an acci
dent but a visitation of God. The su
perior court reversed the finding on
the ground that a visitation of God
to a resident of the Bowery was an
accident.”
