"s to memberH of the Little Club
j Around the Corner this evening.
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.
The Ladies of the O. A. It. nnd
