SOUVENIR POSTAL CARDS.
There Is a Popular Misapprehension
That Makes Many Of Them
Unavailable.

A law was enacted by congress a
few years ago which provided that
cards OF the same size and weight as
the ordinary postal card might be
sent through the mails as ordinary
postal cards provided one-cent
stamp was afiixed.
Many OF the printed cards sold as
souvenir postal cards meet these re-
Quirements and can be written upon
and sent though the mails with a one
cent stamp afnxed. The trouble is,
however. that not all. or indeed most,
OF the souvenir postal cards do meet
the government requirement. Many
Of them are much bigger than the or
binary cards and they are ma Re OF
leather and wood and almost every
thing else.
All Of these cards are mailable as
merchandise at the rate OF one cent
an ounce, but II anything is written
upon them then they require letter
postage. which Ia two cents an ounce.
The leather cards. which are so popu-
lar this season. are OF about the same
size as the ordinary cards and would
be mailable II not written upon II il
were not for the fact that they are
much thicker than the ordinary postal
cards. This bars them from the mails
except as merchandise, and II written
upon letter postage must be paid.
The wooden souvenirs are generally
much larger and heavier than ordinary
postal cards and generally weigh more
than an ounce. Upon these. II there
is any writing. four cents in stamps
must be afiixed
These facts cover the government
regulations. and n everybody was IA
millar with them and obeyed them
they would save much trouble and
more souvenirs would reach their des-
tination. But the trouble Is that 20
many people all souvenirs look alike"
and they affix one-cent stamps 20 big
and little. write their messages on
the back and dump them into the let
