February 1, the !past olffice de- partinent has announced. The new regulation covering the .minimum size of envelopes fellows a decision ride by the Universal 'Foetal Union. It had originally been intended for en- forcement Oet. 1, but a delay was allowed Ibec'ause manufact- urers and retailers still had con- siderable quantities on hand. The post office :department bas ruled there will be no further extension. Letters or cards in en- veloroes' smaller than bhe size in- dicated, in either ,dimn.ension, will be returned to the sender if a return address is on the cover, or else diverted to the undeliv- ered mail office. The regulation effects mostly many types of greeting cards, announcements and • invitations, as very little ordinary corres- pondence is conducted on sail; tioneiy as small as the size men- tioned. Reason for the ban is that very small envelopes con - not he handled in cancelling ma- chines, get lost in sorting cases, and are subject to being trapped in large pieces of mail and thus delayed.
