Removed:

Question re 1920 entry: There was no such thing as the United States Postal Service in 1920. It was the Post Office Department. I can find no documentation to verify the strange comment about them ruling that children can not be shipped via parcel post.
[edit] World Children's Day in the US?
Excuse me, but it's either national or international. It can't be international if it's only celebrated in one nation. Bob 13:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
