How Post Cards Get Lost in Mails.

, they will not be handled unless In
closed In an envelope, The order ex-
GLIDING these cards was issued last
March and was oceasloned by the
danger involved TO the mail clerks.
A clerk in Milwaukee lost an arm
through blood poisoning, which was
traced to fine particles of tinsel off
these cards lodging in a cut in his
hard.
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
row slit IN the upper right hand cor
Her 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 a new order was issued requiring
the stamp to be placed on the outside
of the envelope.
Even here there Is difficulty, how
ever, as the handling OF the post card
in this shape is governed by what 1t
bears II there Is no message on the
card and the envelope is unsesled a
cent stamp will carry It, but II 1t
bears a message II requires 2 cent
stamp, whether sealed or not.
Leather Card a Trouble Maker.
Another trouble maker for the post
al authorities IS the leather or shingie
post card. and the public at large has
hazy idea regarding these. as is evil

Ignorance OF the postal regulations
coupled with the oupidity OF certain
dealers in novelties is responsible for
the loss to Chicagoans and their
friends of 90 postal cards which
each week are sent from here TO the
dead letter Office in Washington. =
The failure of these cards to reach
their destination Is no mean consider
alton, but there rs a financial loss en-
tailed as we'll In nearly every case
the cards bear one cent stamp at
least and this wasted postage alone
amounts TO s2e@ while the eos. of
the cards Mt an approximate average
OF ) cents each brings the total loss
to over $1,000 a week.
Il is not an uncommon thing for
Postmaster Campbell to find in his
morning mail several letters charging
theft OF postal cards and threatening
to carry the complaint to Washington.
Moreover, there have been cases of
persons making their complaints In
person. But the fault lies not with
the spostofiice. clerks but with the
sendcrs of the cards, who failed TO
comply with the regulations or at
tempted to send unavailable matter
The pest card craze is having a
tremendous vogue and 4 100000 Is
not an excessive number to be hand
led by the local postofilce in one week.
The vast majority easily pass muster,
as a wide latitude is allowed in shape
size. material. color and subjects
treated, but beyond certain point
the law steps in and the card drops
out--of the mail. "
