A new rule affecting post offices re-
quires that all printed matter mailed
with insufficient postage be held and not
sent out from the office at which it is
mailed. 1t is necessary that those send
inc matter of this kind through the
mails he careful toput on enough stamps
to carry the packet properly. The rule
is promulgated as the result of IN ewes
tigation in which it was found that at
some offices three times as much revenue
was derived from the mail held for post
age as from that which proved TO be
properly stamped. The rule also pro-
vides that post offices violating the rules
shall be reported to the department.
