POSTAL CARD
LEGISLATION
Department Issues State
ment Regarding Regula-
tions Governing Their Use
MANUFACTURING RULES
Advertising Matter Must
Not Interfere With Mark
or Legibility of Address

General misunderstanding appears
to exist with reference to the require
ments of the postoffice authorities for
post cards, commonly called postal"
cards, printed by individuals and firms
for business purposes. The follow
ing are the regulations governing such
matters:
Post cards must conform to the following
conditions: Each card must be unfoded
piece Of cardboard not exceeding the size
fixed by the convention OF the Universal Pos
tai Union % by IA centimeters, which is ap-
proximately e-16 inches by 9-16 inches).
postal pos G Cards % e 1916 by AZ nchesS. alch Quality
and weight of paper and form must be sub
stantially that of the Government postal card
does not interfere with the legibillty Of the
address and postmark. Each card must bear
the words Post Card" at the top OF the ad-
dress side, unobstructed by any other matter;
said words to be placed thereon in conspic-
uous letters and in such manner not to in
terfere with a perfectly distinct address and
postmark. The address may be written, print
ed or stamped. on adhesive label of not
more than three-qusrters of ans inch by two
in size. and the sender may, in the same man
ner, place his name and address on the back
or the face of the card. The message may
be In writing or in print. When post cards
are prepared by printers and stationers for
sale they should in addition, bear in the up
per righthand corner of the face an oblong
the address"
Advertisements and illustrations in any color
may be printed upon either or both sides of
a post card, provided they do not when placed
upon the face thereof, interfere with a per-
fectly distinct address and postmark.
The words post card are authorized only
on cards which conform to the conditions pre-
scribed by these regulations; other cards bear
ing these words, or otherwise purporting to
be issued under authority of the act of MAY
19, 1898, are unmailable post cards." and
whether the message be written or printed are
subject to postage at the letter rate-2 cents
per ounce.
Printed cards which there is no writing
and which do not purport TO be post cards and
which are advertisements simply and not con-
veying personal information are mailable as
printed matter. There is no restriction as to
size, but the weight of any single package
must not exceed four pounds.
On January 10. 1904, the department issued
an order that cards issued by private persons
and bearing on the address side the words
United States Of America. are in likeness
or similitude" Of the regular United States
postal card. and therefore in violation of law
and unavailable at any price after July l. 1904
This is the latest order in relation
to the matter.

MINGLES HEART INTEREST
WITH TECHNICAL TEACHING
Lieutenant Gardens Lecture on What
He Saw i'm Industrial Europe APP
peaIs TO Hearers.

Lieutenant Godfrey Lynet Garden of
the United States revenue cutter ser
vice entertained a fair-sized audience
last evening in the Young Mems Chris
tian Association auditorium with an IL
lustrated lecture descriptive of his trip
through industrial Europe in quest of
machinery exhibits for the st. Louis
Exposition. He visited all the great
iron manufacturing centers and OBJ
tained numerous stereopticon plates
that served to illustrate his talk.
To the person yersed in the technique
Of the machinists trade the lecture was
especially instructive, of course, but it
contained enough incidental heart in
terest to engage the attention of the
women in the assemblage. The descrip-
tion and accompanying pictures of the
Krupp works in Germany and of how
the $4,000 employees and their families
live were interesting to every student
Of industrial conditions.
Lieutenant Garden explained how
Krupp's great army of workmen shares
the prosperity, but not directly the
profits, of their employer, and how they
dwell more comfortably than the aver
age mechanic in this country, whose
wages are so per cent more than theirs
lie laid stress upon the statement that
the city built by the Krupps is as near
millennium as the wage-worker can
hope to approach, and he emphasized
also the declaration that paternalism
is no part of the Krupp system.
Another important assertion made by
the lecturer was that while our ma
cbinists beat the world in rapidity of
work, they are beaten by Europe in the
general perfection of the work turned
out except in the manufacture Of ma
chine tools. Machine tools made in the
United States are to be found in the
leading foundries of Europe, he said,
and Europe seems TO be unable to du-
plicate them.

The following are extracts from the
decision:
The controversy that has arisen grows out
of~the fact that in the execution OF the decree
Of the District Court affirmed appeal the
words Bay Of San Francisco" employed to
describe the west boundary Of the Peralta
grant. were enormously interpreted to mean
the line Of ordinary high water of the bay so
run as TO exclude from the grant the swamp
lands in the estuaries OF the bay. But for
this error there would have been full compli-
ance With the decree under which the petit
uoners claim within their present contention.
Whether the line Of the bay of san Fran
cisco includes the swamp lands Of the estuary
OF san Antonio was question for the deter
mination OF the District Court. and an error
committed in determining IL does not affect
the completeness of what done. Errors
OF judgment in such case open to cor
rection on application TO the court committing
them and on appeal; without this the parties
are concluded by what is decided. The west
boundary OF the confirmed grant is described
