'NEV DELIVERY
STAMPS
1T WAS PLACED ON SALE MONDAY
AND is DISTINCTIVE FROM THE
CURRENT ISsUE-LooKs LIKE A
CHRIST MAS sTICKER NOT A
STAMP.
Result Of an Act Passed by Last
COngress-Department is oppos-
ed to DiseonfInuanee Of its Use
Bears Cap Of Mercury.

Have you seen one Of the new
special delivery stamps placed on
sale for the first time Monday. Al
though 10 one cent stamps or 5 two
cent stamps in addition to the two
cent stamp necessary for transpor-
tation will hurry an epistle, yet the
government will continue to issue
special delivery stamps.
The new ten cent special delivery
stamp was placed On sale on Monday.
This stamp has been made with the
idea of having it absolutely dlstinc-
tive from the current stamp, and in
the design have been incorporated
emblems of peace and dispatch typi-
fled by the cap Of Mercury
The last Congress passed an act
providing that when there was at
tached to any letter or package of
mail matter 10 cents worth of
stamps of any denomination with the
words special delivery written or
printed on the envelope or covering
in addition to the postage required
for ordinary delivery the article
should be handled as though 1t bore
the regular special delivery stamp.
The issuing of a new special deliv-
cry stamp will call the attention of
the public to the fact that the De
partment is opposed to disseminating
its use, as such a stamp is adyanta-
geous to postal employees in expe-
diting the delivery Of mail, in that it
insures the instant recognition of
special delivery mail.
