New Rules for General Delivery

— The United States Postmaster-General has issued judicious instructions with regard to the use of the “general delivery.” The new rule authorizes postmasters to require in writing the name and address of any person wishing to use the general delivery window, and a statement of reasons for wishing to use it. There has been wide-spread use of this method of having mail delivered in which dishonest or immoral practises and schemes were promoted. It is said to have been common for youths to carry on correspondence of a compromising character in this way.
