better protection, in, fact, The rates
fer insurance on .sParceis is as follows
3 een+ts for an amount not exceeding

an amount exceeding $7S, and not
over .$3.0; 30 cents for arts amount ex-

deemed advisable for persons sending
par.:ela to insure them as then in the
case of accidents they are profited
against' lass. The rates in most cases
will ,eller. be under the old registration
