which was traced to fine particles OF
tinsel off these cards lodging in cut

The first order with reference to
these cards was not specific enough
and another was issued to the effect
that they must be in envelopes. This
was amended so that transparent en-
velopes of waxed paper with a mar
now slit in the upper right hand corr
ner for the stamp and postmark might
be used. Even this caused trouble,
as some dealers left space only for
the stamp, and two weeks ago new
order was issued requiring the stamp
to be placed on the outside Of the
envelope.

has hazy idea regarding these, as is
evidenced by the stamps Of various
denominations found on them To be-
gin with, these cards are classed as
merchandise and If there is no mes
sage written on them by the sender
the government will handle them for
cent, but If there is a message, full
letter postage is required and this
means 2 cents for every ounce or
fraction thereof.
While some OF the postal clerks
may wink at minor infractions, all
are on the lookout for those cards
classed as immoral. and few II any o.
these escape destruction at the dead

The failure of these cards to reach
their destination is no mean consid

entailed as well. In nearly every
case the cards bear one cent STAMP
at least and this wasted postage alone
amounts to 5000, while the cost of the
cards at an approximate average d
5 cents each brings the total loss tx
over $1,000 a week.
