Orders have recently been received b
the local post Office from the postma ste
general directing some changes Gin tn
souvenir postal card mailing regulations
The most important takes effect to -da
and permits the mailing of cards bearing
writing other than the address on tn
address side of the card. Much confusion
and trouble has arisen from the fact tina
a large number of postal cards made fl
foreign countries have n place for writin
on the left end Of the address side. PEG
pie have used these freely and have post
ed them with one-cent stamp attached
The postal regulations heretofore i'm fore
required two cents postage on such cards
There is no such restriction in foreig
countries and the foreign post cards ar
seldom made to conform to the Unite
States regulations. The new regulation
allows the mailing of such cards for on
cent each. In anticipation of this chang
several OF the local dealers have ordere
cards of American make with place 70
writing on the address side Anothe
regulation is that which forbids the mail
ing OF post cards with frosting of glass O
mica on them unless they are placed in
sealed envelope. There are a large mum
Der OF such cards on the market and tn
powered glass with which they are frost
ed comes Off badly when being handled
The glass affects the hands and eyes q
| the employees and serves to wea
the other mail unnecessarily. Such card
will be destroyed If mailed without cover
