new RULES ON
POSTAL CARDS
Left Third of Address Side
May Be Used for
Writing

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 16.-For
years Americans and others have been
sending to the United States from for
eign countries postal cards and post
cards (private mailing cards) with
messages written on the front as we'll
as on the back of the cards, although
in this country this advantage has
been denied the users of government
postal cards. Some months ago the
United States postal laws and regula-
tions were amended SO as to give that
privilege to buyers of postcards, but
such concession was not made appli-
cable to postal cards.
In order to remedy this inconsis-
tency and to prevent any further con-
fusion and annoyance to the public,
Postmaster General Meyer today pro-
mulgated an order effective August /,
1907, providing that the face side of a
postal card may be divided by a YER
teal line placed approximately one
third of the distance from the left end
of the card. the space to the left of the
line to be used for a message, ETC., the
portion to the right to be used for the
address only. A very thin sheet of pa
per may be attached, If it completely
adheres to the card, and such a paster
may bear both writing and printing.
Advertisements, illustrations or writ
ing may appear on the back Of the
card and on the left third of the front.
Postal cards bearing particles of
glass, metal, mica, sand. tinsel or
other such substances are declared to
be unavailable, except when enclosed
in envelopes with proper postage at
fixed, or when treated in such a man
ner as will prevent the Objectionable
materials from being rubbed off or in
juring the hands Of persons handling
the mails.
The contractor at Rumford Falls,
Me-. Is now putting in new machinery
for the manufacture Of postal cards,
and the department will furnish plates
for postal cards of a new design con-
forming to the conditions Of the
amended regulations.

TEACHERS MAY
LOSE FARMS
Efforts to Hold HOm:SteadS
In Vacations May
Fail

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE in
terror department is receiving a flood
of inquiries regarding the effect of a
recent decision of the department rel
alive to the rights of school teachers
in the matter of taking up public
lands under the homestead law. The
decision was rendered in a contest
made against the entry of a woman
teacher employed in Minnesota, and,
while II was shown that she had lived
on the land only during her vaca-
tions. covering only about II weeks
for each of the four years she had
held it, the department failed to sus-
tain the contestant. This holding has
been construed throughout the public
land states as equivalent to a declara-
ton that teachers may be permitted to
make homestead entries and to make
final proof without complying with
the requirements made of other appli-
cants and the larger number OF letters
recaived on the question promises nu-
merous entries under that construc-
ton.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Woodruff and Acting Commissioner
bennett Of the general land ONCE, to-
day. united in statement that the de-
cision has received a construction
which was not contemplated by the
department. They call attention to
the fact that the decision did not ap-
ply to a Communication case, but to a
case in which the applicant had held
the land for four or five years as re-
quired by law. They point out that
the decision was not final and that It
dealt with the rights of the contestant
rather than those OF the contestee,
merely holding that the improvements
were adequate, but not attempting to
say whether title win be granted at
the end of i've years IL the proof
shows only IA weeks occupancy for
each year.
They, therefore, warn teachers that
disappointment is liable to be the fate
of those who may attempt to secure
land by living on it only during vaca-
ton time, and especially Of those who
attempt to secure 1t under such plan
with the Communication feature added.
