“There is another reason which led immigrants, unfamiliar with our language and business methods, to turn to the Government to safeguard their humble savings and that reason is the disastrous experiences many of them have had by the failures of bogus “private banks” officered by swindlers of thetr own tongue who have preyed mercilessly upon their loneliness nnd credulity.’’

Postal Savings System.

Every person in the United States ten years old or over may open an account in a postal savings bank after July 1st, according to an instructive leaflet on the Postal Savings System just issued by Postmaster General Burleson. This important extension of the service will be made possible by permitting persons living in communities so sparsely settled as not to justify the designation of their local post-offices as regular postal savings banks to open accounts by mail. Governor Dockery, Third Assistadt Postmaster General, who has direct supervision of postal savings, was so impressed by appeals from all over ihe country to open postal savings accounts by mail that he took up the task some weeks ago of workiug out a feasible and safe method for meeting a demand well illustrated in a letter from a Saline County Missourian, who resides many miles from a postal savings bank. “Having a few hundred dollars saved from fifty years of hard and assiduous labor and skimping economy on the part of my wife nnd myself, we concluded to deposit it in the Postal Savings Bank of . We wrote to the postmaster at that place and received reply to the effect that none but patrons of that office could deposit in that office which is very dissapointing news to us. Our little farm is not large enough to support us and land is so high that it is impossible for us to buy more with what little we have saved nnd we are so old that we can’t labor much now and we would be so glad to lay by at least enough to put us away in decency.” Under the plan adopted by the Postmaster General for opening accounts by mail an intending depositor, residing where there is no regularly designated postal saving bank, will apply to his local postmaster who will see that necessary identification data is prepared and forwarded to a nearby postoffice authorized to accept deposits. The intending depositor will then be given permission to forward his first and subsequent deposits by money order or registered mail direct to the postmaster at the banking point for which receipts or certificates will be issued. He may withdraw all or any part of his postal savings by mail and on demand together with any interest that may be due him. The new leaflet points out that any person ten years old or over may open an account in his or her own name; that an account may be opened by a married woman free from any control or interference by her husband; that postoffice officials are forbidden to disclose to any person, except the depositor, the amount of any deposits; that withdrawals may be made without previous notice; nnd that the Government guarantees to repay all deposits on demand with accrued interest.

Postal savings receipts have broken all records the past year. During the eight months prior to April 1st there wus a net gain in deposits of $19,000,000, as against a gain of $8,000,000 for the same months the year before. Thousands of new accounts have been opened and the millions made up largely of hidden savings have been turned back into the channels of trade just at a time when there was pressing demand for every dollar.

Wobler, who was buried in Hopkins last week, weighed 420 pounds. The largest stock casket, three feet wide, was too small to hold the body so a special coffin had to be built.

London, Eng.—The king’s example on the liquor question was not followed by the clergy in the meeting cf the lower house of the convocation at York when the following resolution, presented by the Dean of Manchester, was passed: “That this house, while wishing to be support all such measures as may in the opinion of the government be necessary for the strength nnd safety of the nation in time of war, wonld look with anxiety upon total prohibition of the sale of alcoholicdrinks.

After he had been rescued from underneath the wheels of a subway train uninjured after two cars had passed over him, it became known that he had been dropped out of a window when a baby, by his nurse; had fallen out of a fourth story window when a boy and had landed on a clothes line which broke the fall; was shot in the head when he came within range of some revolver play four years ago and had escaped drowning last month when an automobile, in which he was riding in New Jersey, plunged into the river.

The leaflet will soon be printed in 22 foreign languages for distribution through local postoffices. The foreign-born citizen has taken very kindly to postal savings, and literature in his own language will be of great assistance to him. In a recent article, Postmaster General Burleson commented on the foreign-born depositor as follows: “Upwards of 500,000 depositors now have accounts in the Postal Savings System and they represent every nationality on the earth, They also represent almost every known occupation—professional men, theatrical people, mechanics, laborers, fishermen, pack peddlers, etc. But the majority are wage earners, and of this class the foreign-born largely predominate. A census of depositors taken by the Post Office Department shows that approximately 40 per cent (200 000) of the depositors are foreign-born citizens and they own more than 50per cent of the deposits—splendid evidence of the confidence of our newly acquired
