MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
ADVANTAGES .- The postal money order system offers to the public a safe, cheap, and con- venient method of making remittances by mail to all parts of the United States and its possessions, as well as foreign countries. The practice of forwarding currency in ordinary mail is an incite- ment to theft. In case of train wreck also, or of other casualty incident to trasnportation, money may be destroyed or otherwise lost. But a money order, though lost, may be duplicated from the record of its issue. The public, therefore, is urged to use the postal money order system. Postal money orders, in short, should be used whenever available instead of cash for remittances by mail; and when such orders can not be obtained the letter containing the money should always be registered. Money order business is transacted at all post offices where practicable.
USE OF MONEY ORDERS IN C. O. D. PAR- CEL POST SERVICE .- Postal money orders are the only means by which sums collected on pack- ages sent by C. O. D. parcel post are remitted to the sender of the parcels.
APPLICATION FOR A MONEY ORDER must be made on a form furnished for that purpose and be presented at the money order window of the postoffice or one of its stations. Money orders are issued for any desired amount from 1 cent to $100, and when a larger sum than $100 is to be sent any number of additional orders may be obtained. Applications may be made through rural carriers, who will furnish the necessary forms and give receipts for the amounts.
INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS, pay- able in almost any part of the world (excepting where business has been interrupted by war or severance of diplomatic relations), may be ob- tained at all of the larger postoffices and at many of the smaller ones.
FEES FOR DOMESTIC MONEY ORDERS, payable in the United States, including Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Virgin Islands, United States (late Danish West Indies), or in its possessions, embracing the Canal Zone, Guam, the Philippine Islands, and Tutuila (Samoa), or at the United States Postal Agency at Shanghai (China); also for orders payable in Bermuda, British Guiana, British Honduras, Canada, Cuba, and New- foundland, and in the following Islands in the West Indies: Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Martinique, Mont- serrat, Nevis, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, and Virgin Islands (British).

DIRECTORIES AND REFERENCE MEDIA STANDARDS OF PRACTICE
ADOPTED BY THE DIRECTORY AND REFERENCE MEDIA DEPARTMENTAL OF THE ASSOCIATED ADVERTISING CLUBS OF THE WORLD
The publisher of a Directory or Reference Medium should dedicate his best efforts to the cause of business uplift and social service, and to this end should pledge himself:
1. To consider, first, the interests of the user of the book.
2. To subscribe to and work for truth, honesty and accuracy in all Departments.
3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, endeavoring to classify every concern under such headings as best describe it, and to treat additional listings as advertising, to be charged for at regular rates.
4. To increase public knowledge of what directories and reference media contain; to study public needs and make directories and reference media to supply them; to revise and standardize methods and classifications so that what is want- ed may be most easily found, and the directory and refer- ence media be made to serve their fullest use as business and social reference books and directories of buyer to seller and seller to his market.
5. To decline any advertisement which has a tendency to mislead or which does not conform to business integrity.
6. To solicit subscriptions and advertising solely upon the merits of the publication.
7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding circulation, placing the test of reference publicity upon its accessibility to seekers as well as on the number of copies circulated.
8. To co-operate with approved organizations and indi- viduals engaged in creative advertising work.
9. To avoid unfair competition.
10. To determine what is the highest and largest function of directories and reference media in public service and then to strive in every legitimate way to promote that function.
