ISSUES ADVICE ON USE OF NON-POSTAGE STAMPS Postmaster Receives Report as to Holiday Greetings and Charity 'Stickers' In advance of the coming- holiday mails and because of the use of the outside of letters and packages for the sending of Christmas and New Year's greetings last year, Postmaster W. H. Harrison has received announcements from Second ■ Assistant Postmaster General Joseph Stewart advising him as to the use of charity stamps and greetings in the mails. The use of non-postage stamps has become so extensive, especially during the holiday season, many being placed on the address side of the envelope or package, and being the same or near the same color of the postage stamp, that much trouble has been experienced by the mall handlers. Some countries have Issued announcements prohibit ing the use of the stamps, while others permit them under certain con ditions. The following countries refuse to ad mit to their mails articles bearing non postage Christmas .stamps or other ad hesive charity stamps or labels. Guatemala, Uruguay, Portugal, if they resemble regular postage stamps. The' following, however, will admit articles bearing such stamps, but only when affixed to the reverse and not to the address side: British East Africa,. Uganda, An tigua, Barbardos, Bermuda, British North Borneo, , Cayman. . Islands, Cyprus, Gold Coast, Dominica, Falk land Islands, Gambia, Gibraltar, Brit ish Honduras, Jamaica, Mauritius and dependencies, Monserrat, Nevis, South ern Nigeria, Saint Christopher, Saint Ijucia, Saint Vincent, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, British Somaliland, Trinidad, Turks and Calcoa Islands, Virgin Islands, Germany, Austria (provided they do not resemble postage stamps). Great - Britain, Southern Rhodesia, Transvaal. Articles liable to be refused admit tance to any of the foregoing countries on account of the fact that they bear charity stamps will not be dispatched from this country, but will be returned to the sender if known. If the sender is not known, such articles will be sent to the fourth assistant postmaster general, division of dead letters. To preclude delay'in handling articles bearing Christmas stamps-to be trans mitted in the international mails, the covers of such articles should bear the full name and address of the senders'. POLICEMAN, ACCUSED OF BEING DRUNK, MAY BE FINED Charges against Daniel McDonald, patrolman, probably will be dismissed by the police commission when Mc- Donald Is placed on trial Monday night. McDonald is accused of having been Intoxicated while on duty, but unless some evidence to sustain the charges la produced before the commission meets but little time probably will be devoted to the case. The .only evidence against McDon ald that, has been developed so far Is that one man saw him at a time when he thought- he was drunk. The ser geant who investigated the case, im mediately on the report made to police headquarters, says that he found Mc- Donald at home in bed an hour after he was reported intoxicated and that he exhibited no symptoms of even having, taken a drink. -, > , , .. ■—.«. — TEXAS EXPO IS OPENED , ' WACO, Tex., Nov. s.— The cotton palace and exposition of ma/iufactures, agricultural and horticultural products and liberal arts, were opened here to ri a^.
