We - ask you to do this, because we are sent items by special cor- respondents and want to know by whom the various items are sent.

The greater number of our corre- spondents observe these rules already: Write on one side of paper only. Leave a blank line between each item. Do not abbreviate the days of the week.

Jones, or W. A. Jones. There may be more than one “Jones’” in your vicinity.
