THE VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA.
(Contributed by that organization, as of Oct. 23, 1926.)

A Christian, philanthropie, benevolent organization, under the presidency of Gen. Ballington Booth,

incorporated in 1896. While its government is modeled on the United States Army, yet its rules and regulations are made by the Grand Field Council composed of officers of and above the rank of Major.

The Volunteers of America is established in up ward of 100 of the principal centres of America, and has the indorsement of leading Cabinet and State officials.

Some idea of the scope and polity of the Volunteers may be gleaned from its report of the last year's work. During that period Volunteer philanthropic homes and institutions provided 265,376 free lodgings and 234,802 lodgings paid for in cash and by work, making a total of 500,178 lodgings provided those needing them. During this term 628,374 meals were paid for in cash and by employment and 756,514 meals were given free, making a total of 1,384,888 meals provided. 93,557 persons and families, many in desperate circumstances, were assisted in a timely manner, apart from the above aid furnished in their benevolent institutions. Employment was found for 33,502 persons, many of whom were practically stranded. 129,357 garments and pairs of shoes were provided for the very

poor and needy. 53,016 mothers and children were given summer outings or were taken to fresh air camps, many hundreds of children remaining amid health-giving surroundings for two and three weeks at a time.

During the holiday and Christmas season in the work among the destitute, 123,700 special dinners and provisions were sent into the homes of families who without this aid and thought would have spent cheerless holiday seasons.

The attendance at the Volunteer indoor services reached 1,181,635, while at the outdoor services it numbered 2,039,434, making a total congregation of 3,221,069.

During the year it is estimated that over 500 prisoners returning to freedom from the State prisons have been helped to a new chance in life, positions being secured for them and the moral support so desirable at such a time provided. Over 100,000 men within the walls of the State prisons have become members of the Volunteer Prison League since its inauguration by Mrs. Ballington Booth.

The Volunteers' Gazette is the official organ. and national headquarters is maintained in their own building at No. 34 West 28th Street, New York City, New York.

12 cents each pound.

The rate on fourth-class matter between any point in the United States and any point in the Hawaiian Islands, and any point in Alaska, and between any two points in Alaska, is 12 cents for the first pound and 12 cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof, and in addition the service charge of 2 cents for each parcel. These rates also apply to parcels mailed in the United States for delivery in the Canal Zone, and to parcels between the Philippine Islands and the United States or its possessions. The service charge of

2 cents for each parcel is likewise applicable to parcels of fourth-class mail exchanged between the United States, or any of its possessions, and United States naval vessels.

Special Handling: On payment of 25 cents in addition to regular postage, fourth-class parcels indorsed "Special handling" will be accorded same treatment as first-class mail. This does not include special delivery.

Special Delivery Fees: Any class-up to 2 pounds, 10 cents; over 2 pounds, but not more than 10 pounds, 15 cents; over 10 pounds, 20 cents.

Airplane (air mail) rates-Domestic-Eight cents an ounce or fraction thereof for each air route zone or part of zone, except that on mail carried over the New York-Chicago night route the rate is 10 cents for each ounce or fraction of an ounce, while the rate on mail carried on contract air-mail routes is 10 cents, 15 cents, or 20 cents an ounce or fraction thereof, according to the length of the particular route involved, with an additional charge of 5 cents an ounce or fraction thereof for each air-mail zone the mall is transported on a Governmentoperated air-mail route, to be fully prepaid; such charge includes transportation to or from the air mail route as well as the transportation by air.

Air mail should be properly indorsed to Indicate how it is to be sent. For example, a letter mailed at San Francisco addressed to Detroit intended for transmission all the way by air mail should be indorsed "Via air mail to Detroit" and prepaid at the rate of 20 cents an ounce or fraction thereof. If intended to be carried by air mail to Chicago only and thence by railroad, the letter should be indorsed "Via air mail to Chicago" and prepaid at the regular rate of 16 cents for each ounce or fraction of an ounce.

An air mail letter originating at a place adjacent to or on a contract air mail route which would naturally be sent over such route for connection with a Government-operated air mail route but which the sender desires carried over the latter route only should be indorsed to that effect, as for instance in the case of a letter mailed at or near Detroit, "Via air mail from Chicago."

There are three zones (1), New York to Chicago; (2), Chicago to Cheyenne; (3), Cheyenne to San Francisco. The zone lines run north and south through Chicago and Cheyenne. All the country east of the Chicago zone line is in Zone 1: all west of the Cheyenne line is in Zone 3, all the country between the two zone lines is in Zone 2.

Foreign-Same as domestic air mail rate for those countries having 2-cent postal conventions with the United States; for all other countries, 3 cents in addition to air mail rate. Registry Service-Any matter acceptable for transmission by Airplane Service may be registered upon the payment of the prescribed registry fees in addition to the required airplane postage. Special Delivery-The use of special delivery stamps in addition to the Air Mail postage will insure prompt delivery at office of address. Special Air Mail Stamps are issued, but any stamps good for postage may be used. Indorsement-All mail matter intended for despatch "via Air Mail" or "via Night Air Mail," as the case may be, should be indorsed with those words to avoid possible errors in handling and despatch.

Any matlable matter except that liable to damage from freezing will be carried by airplane, including sealed parcels, not exceeding 50 pounds in weight and not exceeding 84 inches in length and girth combined, with postage at the rate of 8 cents an ounce or fraction thereof for each zone or part of zone in which mail is carried by airplane.

Any information concerning contract air mail routes may be obtained from the postmaster. Registered Mail-The registry fees on both domestic and foreign mail must be prepaid by stamps affixed in addition to the regular postage at the following rates: For domestic articles of the first class, indemnified for $50 or less, 15 cts.; for over $50 and not in excess of $100, 20 cts.; for domestic articles of the second class, for which no indemnity is provided, and for domestic articles of any class without intrinsic value for which indemnity will not be allowed, 15 cts.; for domestic articles of the third class Indemnified for not exceeding $25, 15 cts.; for sealed parcels prepaid at the first class rate of postage, the same as for first class; for all articles of whatever class addressed to foreign countries, 15 cts. International indemnity is limited to $9.65 (50 francs), except for registered mail exchanged with Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador, which is limited to $25.

A charge of 5 cents is collected from the sender, in addition to the postage and registry fee, for a sender's return receipt for each international registered Postal Union article, and each international registered parcel post package except those addressed to a certain few foreign countries.

However, a fee of 10 cents is charged when the request for a return receipt for any registered Postal Union article is made subsequent to the time of mailing.

A charge of 10 cents is made for an inquiry as to the disposal of any registered article addressed to a foreign country unless the sender has failed to receive a return receipt for which he paid the required fee, and the same charge is made for other inquiries or complaints in connection with such mail, when the inquiries or complaints require written investigation or tracing by the Posta! Service, unless the sender is able to show that a prima facie loss or other irregularity has occurred through fault of the Postal Service.
