THE POSTCARD CRAZE.
Virtues of Habit-Teaches Geogra
ply and Broadens Homefolks.

P4y aA0 4O14V44S AAOa4O4O4nDs
From the New York World.
Up to eight years ago the American
tourist abroad put time and energy into
writing long letters 'escriptive Of his
travels. Today the illustrated post card
enables him to give his friends a more
instructive idea of what he is seeing.
The souvenir post card-of French origin.
but German development-has become a
universal institution. It's manufacture is a
great industry. 1t represents the golden
idea of successful business enterprise
cheapness and utility.
Its sale contributes to the maintenance
of palaces, galleries. museums and hospi-
tails. 1t advertises cities, railroads. hotels,
theaters, resorts. industries. 1t gives en-
ployment to thousands and yields it's man.
ufacturers an immense revenue.
1t has supplied the postal services Of the
word with d new problem. Officials of our
Post Office Department say that they are
staggered by the increase it has made in
the volume of the mails. Although the
United States was slower than other ma
tions to adopt the illustrated post card, its
use during the last three months of sum-
mer travel has Increased more than 60 per
cent.
At the New York post Office the daily
average of domestic post cards received
for domestic distribution outside of New
York is more than 10000. The daily aver
age of cards of foreign origin for similar
distribution is about $4,000. These figures
do not include the mail bundles made up
for the great cities and centers of dis
tribut:on throughout the country. To in
clude them would be to quadrupie these
figures. The record shp-nail figures were
made August s. when the Adriatic ar
rived with $1,000 post cards In her mail
bags.
. Local figures are even more amazing
New York's letter carriers daily distribute
an average of 10000 post cards. The
hordes Of New Workers who flock to Long
Island resorts to spend Sundays send
back 900 cards. which must be handled
In the Monday deliveries. Last Monday
2O,GU of these cards passed through
branch station II. at Madison avenue and
ADD street. New York's Sunday visitors to
the country spent $500 in single days
absence to let their friends know that
they were not forgotten.
The government is encouraging the use
of picture post cards by reducing the re-
Strictfons that regulate them. Recently an
order was issued permitting messages to
be written on the left half of the address
side. The same rule is observed now
throughout Europe.

NEW SYSTEM OF SIGNALS.
Terminal Company Substitutes Yel
low Light for Green.

~" CCI.
4 new system of signaling has been
adopted by the Terminal Company in
this city. The old system whereby white
light meant a clear track: red. danger,
and green, caution, has been changed. the
white signal having been abolished and
yellow substituted. The new signals are
green, clear, red, danger and yellow, eau
ton.
This change was made as the result of
accidents resulting from engineers mis-
taking broken glass in red or green
signal for clear. or in cases where light
from window Of house in range of the
signal at night. would show white and
could not possibly be noticed by the engi-
neer. II was thought 10 be best to make
the change and the result the engi-
neers who run by signal cannot say
it Is claimed that they were given the
white signal for clear track. When a
white signal is shown they will at once
know that something IS wrong.
1t is expected this change of signaling
will be adopted in the future by all rail-
roads throughout the country.

Internal Discussions in Union.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-At mass meet
ing of the striking telegraph operator
held today Chairman Likes announo ed
that President Small at San Francisco
had telegraphed an order suspendinS
the action of the national organlzai ION
for thirty days. The chairman de-
clared that the union officials at en-

gin legal proceedings to prevent the
national executive board from inter
fering with the handling by the proper
officers of the unions funds.
Mr.. Likes statement was as lolloWS'

New York. Aug. lo.-Whether tht
strike Of telegraph operators Will
reach the east probably will be dete e
mined tomorrow when the local
branch of the commercial telegraph
ers' union will meet 10 consider work
ing with non-union operators IN chi
cago and other cities.
There appears to be a strong feel
ing among a large element OF the
telegraphers that the New York local
should Join the strike. not only out OF
sympathy with the men who have
struck at other points. but because OF
grievances here which the men claim
have not been adjusted according 10
the agreement with Commissioner
Neill some weeks ago. These men
say the strike will sooner or later be
necessity in order TO enforce their
demands and that the best time TO try
their strength Is now.
The local unions executive board
met tonight but President Ahern
would make no announcement.
