Postal Autjioritfes War
Against Obscene Matter
, WASHINGTON. Recent In
crease l.n the flood of question
able matter offered for transmis
sion through the'niatH has led to
further tightening of the routine
safeguards employed In the postal
service for keeping It out and for
prosecution, of those violating the
federal statutes in that regard.
Thousands of complaints have
come to - the office , bf the post
master general from parents and
associations asking that the de
partment augment its efforts to
protect children ' from "obscen
literature and pictures. ; ' ' ;
The close surveillaace exercised
over the character of matter pass
ing through the mails, officials
"believe, has affected a material
decrease In the number of dealers
in pornographic matter. " Federal
courts have : discouraged - the ef
forts of snchr dealers by: upholding
.the post office department in each
instance where ,rulings excluding
obscene matter from the mails has
been .challenged;i".;s,. . -y
Foreign dialers, especially since
the war and, the return of Ameri
can soldiers from Europe, have
been active in endeavoring to dis
pose of their products : in this
country. - , In. many " instances
foreign consignments "are inter
cepted at custom houses. The
trade of these offenders has been
crippled by the postal authorities
returning to' senders letters ad
dressed to all known dealers in
obscene matter, by confiscating
great quantities of unmailable ad
vertising circulars and the mate
rials as well, and by acquainting
those attempting to import such
rjjratter with their riesponsibnity
and. liability to. prosecution under
the penal provisions of the laws.
The numerous small magazines,
depending for their popularity on,
the pornographic material in them
are the source of continual com
plaint and the exclusion of many
of them from the mails curtails
tot a considerable extent ( their
widespread ; circulation. . These
publications have been responsible
for increasing the work of th post
office department's legal forces.
The magazines when excluded
from the mail find their, way. to
newstands through .other channels. ,

Glad to learn that, you've decided to build this year.
That's sensible; do it now, and enjoy it while you live. ,

planer, ready to serve you.
. We have 1 5,000,000 feet in stock; more than 1 ,000,000
feet in our Salem yardy , About 1 2,000 feet would build a
fine cottage; Ave have enough on hand to build 1,000 '.
ouses. -v-

a few minutes. How big? Up to 36x36 inches, 90 feet

BUILD WITH BRICK
.The beauty attained In building homes of solid brick is
illustrated inthe partial sketch of the -Weyerhauser man-.
r sion at Tacoma, shown above. ', '',
More than beauty is attained. When you bnild wall of ;
brick, you shut out the cold and damp of winter and the
heat of summer; you create a building which will stand and.
be a habitable home for centuries; which will cost. very
,! little for repairs and maintenance. r ,
' When you build of brick, you have a substantial, endur

heating, insurance, and repairs. !
And it costs yoa little, if any, more to build than a home
of less enduring material; Ask your architect, or masonry
