Veatrh is in Portland to meet them, ill! and they are exported to come on to be conducted to educate everyone to ue more care in addressing mail. "Jf everyone who mailed a letter or parcel put a return address on tne envelope (and the proper place m the upper left hand corner, not the back) the dead letter office could be closed and a- vast amount of time, energy nnd money could be waved, " says Mr. Yoran, "More than ftt pr cent of dead letter contain no due to the eendcr on the envelope." "AliHtakra ore bouud to occur," aava Mr. Yoran, "but investigation of claims and complaints divulges that in the vast majority of cane it is the mailer rather than the postal clerk who makes the error. We are going to try to do better. We are striving for that goal of perfection, and we would like Tor yout to cooperate -with us and help reducing that appalling dead letter revenue. It can be done by: Rules Are Given "Addressing letters plainly, leaving out nothing that will help the carrier make delivery; ' "Putting return address in upper left-hand corner; "Using strong cord and stout pap er." Of the 21,803,000 pieces of mail which went to the dead letter offiee last year, J 00.0(H) letters were in perfectly blank envelopes. . Cash re moved from dead letters amounted to $05,523 which wos turned into the United States treasury because its owners could not be located owing to lack of return and other addresses. Postage Mtnmps umountingto $12,105 were similarly found in undelivered and unreturnable mail. (.'hecks,; drafts and money orders amounting to $3,510,012 likewise were found but tljpy represented only so much psppr because they could not bo cashed and have lo ho held a year for reclaiming, then lo be destroyed. "Nlxlos" Are Expensive . The revenue of the dead letter office Is sufficient to keep that in stuution functioning hut it is not nearly enough to pay the annual bill for support of the "Nixie," as postal employees call n letter or parcel so Improperly addressed that it cannot be delivered to the addressee nor re turned to the sender without special treatment. This special treatment, called' directory seavice, coala the taxpayer $1,7-10,00(1 n year. Tn New ork City ulone it costs $51 HI n day to look up addresses. Approximately :!00,000,HtO pieces of mail yearly are given directory service. The simple addition of a return address would obviate it entirely poNt officials say, Kugeue within a few dayji.
