A E Robinson, postmaster of sta
| ton a. wishes to call the attention
of the public, especially the devotees
/ of the souvenir postal card fad, to a
new order relating to such mail
matter which has gone into effect Ac-
cording to the new regulation, cards
bearing particles of mica, sand, tinseI,
or similar substances. are unavailable
except when enclosed in envelopes
| tightly sealed to prevent the escape of
such particles, or when treated in such
a manner as will prevent the objection
able substances from being rubbed off
or injuring the hands of persons
handling the nails A two cent
stamp must be placed on the outside
of the envelope or the postal will be
| held for insufficient postage.
Until the new ruling the regulations
permitted such postal cards to be sent
| if enclosed in an envelope without
/ being sealed and required only a one
ruling is complied with the postal
cards may be sent to the dead letter
office at Washington, D. c., if the
names of the sender can not be learned
at the home office.
'sThis regulation went into effect
January g. 1909" said Mr.. Robinson
this morning, but many people do not
seem to be aware of this and I would
| through the papers.
''Some people go as far as to seal
| the envelopes which are of the trans
| parent kind, but they place the stamp
on the card instead of outside on the
| envelope Thus we have to hold up
| hundreds of them every week because
| they do not comply with the postal
! regulations Then Mary wonders why
she didn't get Johns card and John
wonders why Mary didn't answer his
message"
