MILLIONS GO ASTRAY
Vast Sum in MisSiveS Reaching
Dead Letter Office.
Uncle Sam Keeps Little Of This
Wealth, However, as Most Of II
is Restored to the Owners.

Uncle Sam found more than $500
600 worth of checks, drafts. money
orders and other valuable papers in
undelivered letters which reached the
dead letter office during the last year,
but he didn't get to keep much Of 1t.
Most of this wandering wealth was re-
stored to its owners.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Daniel c. Roper in his annual report
announces that the dead letter division
handled 1OS39,S9 letters and parcels
during the year, a slight increase over
the previous year. One-third of these
letters and parcels, or 3,677, 1914, was
delivered; 101, ,4S5 contained things Of
value without clew to their senders
and were held for claimants; 1919
1876 had to be destroyed, and 41,775
were still being Investigated.
In addition to the valuable papers,
with face value of $2,303,119, found
in unbelievable letters, many con-
tanned stamps, and some currency was
found loose in the mails. The stamps
and currency unclaimed, together with
proceeds from the sale of articles of
merchandise removed from undeliv-
cred letters aggregated $53,665, and
S11, 900 was realized from six months
operation Of a new postal regulation
requiring collection of one cent on
advertised letters, making the total net
revenue $64,665. Mr.. Roper says that
the revenue estimated under the pres
ent conditions for year would be
approximately $4,000, which would
make the dead letter division self-sus-
tanning.
To prevent the unnecessary accu-
mutation of letters containing valuable
Enclosures, provision was contained
in the last postal appropriation law re-
duclng the limit of time that such let
ters shall be held awaiting recIama-
ton from four years to two years.
On account Of the large growth In
the parcel post business, experience
has demonstrated that the accumula-
tion of this matter at the points desig-
| mated for handling dead parcels has
become so large as to make it difficult
to find space for its accommodation.
Regulations provide, in the case of in
sured parcels, that claims for indem-
nifty must be fled within six months,
and it has been found there is very
little call for lost parcels after the
lapse of that time. Accordingly, an
order will be issued amending the reg
ulations so as to reduce the time for
holding such parcels prior to sale from
IL months to 6 months. Last year,
395, ,161 parcels were found undeliv-
erable.
Dead mail received by the division of
dead letters, during the year contained
| 677,700 misdirected letters, 1876 un-
addressed letters, 22S,7OO letters held
for postage, 440,200 letters written on
hotel letter paper by persons unknown
to the hotels and 1O4, 700 letters bear.

SINGING NETTLE FOR CLOTH
Successful Use of Fiber as Substitute
for Cotton in Germany Reported
by Uncle Sans Consul.

Making cloth out of the stinging net
tie, as substitute for cotton, is one
Of the latest achievements of the Ger
mans, according to Uncle Sans con-
sui at Stuttgart.
Doctor Richter of Vienna, who was
responsible for the efforts to utilize
this fiber, is quoted as stating in the
course of lecture on the progress of
his research that all the conditions for
profitable production have been found
and that Germany and Austria, by
means of a methOdical cultivation of
the nettle, could make themselves Ell
tirely Independent Of the cotton pro-
ducerS.
During 1915 and in the spring Uf
1916 experiments were made in the
cultivation of the nettle in numerous
districts along the Danube in Austria
and Hungary, and all with splendid
results. AS result of these expert
ments the question was taken UP
whether there was in Austria and
Hungary sufficient area of suitable
soil which does not come into ques-
ton for the cultivation of other crops.
Prof. Marchet has through thorough
investigation established the fact that
in the Niederwald in Austria there
are 100000 acres, splendidly adapt
ed to the cultivation of the nettle, and
which up to the present have not been
| ~ for oOv
According to Doctor Richter's esti-
mates this is twice the area needed
to produce sufficient nettle fiber to re-
place the cotton imports of both Ger
many and Austria-Hungary. Samples
of cloth which were shown are consid-
cred by him as proof that fabrics can
be produced from nettle fiber without
any admiXture of cotton, and that they
can be used for any purpose for which
pure cotton fabrics have heretofore
been used.
