certificates upon receipt cards provided by the Central Office. Original and duplicate certificates of naturalization when issued shall be fully executed, and signed by the clerk in his own handwriting, and he shall enter on the stub of each certificate so issued a memorandum of all the essential facts as set forth in such certificate. Both copies of the certificate, in any case, including the stubs, shall, wherever possible, be legibly written at the same operation, with the use of carbon paper, on a typewriter. The stub shall be removed and retained by the clerk of court and may be filed in an upright card file, or in a 3- by 5-inch card drawer by trimming to that size. The duplicate certificates shall not be separated from their stubs but shall be forwarded at the proper time with all other duplicate papers. Every care must be exercised to prevent the loss or misplacement of any certificate of naturalization.* (Nationality Act of 1940, secs. 336 and 337 (c), 54 Stat. 1157, 1158)

The application shall be accompanied by a United States postal money order in the sum of $5, payable to the "Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, Washington, D. C." Cash shall not be accepted. The application shall also be accom
