There Is a li,tlegreenc card in use by the
Postoiice Department that Ia a terror TO
some OF the more careless letter carriers.
1t Ia Il terror only when they have ohce
becn caught. Very seldom, indeed, are
they caught the second time. This card
Is dropped in Il letter box, and on 1t is
marked tho time it was put in and also
the time it should be taken out by the
carrier. A record ia kept by the chief OF
the carriers, and II that liule card does
not turn up with the other mail with
which it Is due, 1t is clearly 10 DO acen
that the carrier has not taken the mail
from that particular bog. The object,
OF course, Is to test the reliability OF the
carriers. Where there Is any complaint
on the part OF the citizens about the tar.
diness OF local mails, then Il little green
card is dropped in one OF more boxes in
the district from which the complaint
c,mes. Sometimes it shows ca.elessnees
on the part OF the carrier and sometimes
it does not. 1t is, however, not neces.
sary that there nhould be complaints,
for frequently the cards ARE put in the
boxes OF the most efficient men. Oh

cover them. But where i box is missed
in which there is q green card, then the
carrier is bound to get into trouble, ant
