REroRrs come from all quarters of
the enormous business in carrying
Christmas gift packages as mail mat
ter. The business far exceeded that
of any previous year. The rage for
Christmas cards, distributed through
the mails this year by the million, is a
source of considerable revenue for the
government. Most of those cards are
sent as sealed matter. and many of the
finer classes of cards pay double or
triple postage. Packages which go at
merchandise rates are much more
troublesome to handle, and are not
supposed to be profitable to the de.
partment. This method of sending
small packages bids fair to grow in
popularity, as the cost of their sending
| presents is much less than by express.
