Mr. Matthew's. ."Within the next two or three months we will have passed the peak of the depression, and have entered upon the road to better business. "I do not expect a boom, for two reasons, one is the disturbance to business that come3 from the fluctuations in international exchange, which prevents this country having an outlet for its products, the other is the fact the farmer's buying power is restricted. The farmer can not be prosperous with 40 cent corn." Reserve Increases.

well. The banks of the country were down to a 40 per cent reserve 12 1

PASSENGERS ESGAPE DEATH WHEN AUTO FALLS INTO RIVER

DUNLAPSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 4. Roy Larimore and George Cunningham of Brownsville, narrowly escaped death by drowning, Sunday morning, when the automobile in which they were riding became unmanageable and ran off a bank into the river. The stream this point was about 10 or 12 feet

deep and very swift. They were saved by clinging to tree branches hanging over the river bank. Forest Stevens, living close by, aided the men from the water. The automobile drifted 'far down stream and was not taken from the water, until Tuesday. Both men are suffering from exposure.

WASHINGTON, D. C Jan. 4. Will Hays' plan to help locate missing persons has resulted so far in a large

.amount of correspondence for the post

office department, some reunited larailies, and a few puzzled postmasters who have searched the postal regulations in vain for innstructions showing how to proceed in a search for missing relatives. Mr. Hays has no idea, it seems, of turning the post office department into a complete detective agency. It merely occurred to him one day that it was rather cold-bloodecT"to turn down by form letter requests for help in locating lost husbands and wandering sons. Pleas for help in such cases have always come to he government. Many people seem to think that the post office department has a huge alphabetical file of all the persons in the United States. As a matter of fact it has no such list. Nor have the local post offices any card catalogues of the

populations they serve. The only ref

erence list to which a postmaster can

refer in delivering mail to persons whose address is unknown is the city directory the same book that is available to the public in drug stores, libraries and hotels all over the city. Incidentally, there is also a popular belief that the census bureau has an alphabetical list of the population, and as a result the bureau receives a large number of requests for addresses of missing persons. The census bureau, of course, has no way of giving these persons any satisfaction. The records taken by the bureau enumerators are positively confidential. The state deDartment 13 a third

helping to ccate persons who are be

ing sought for the purpose of collect

ing debts, nor does it wish to pursue persons who not desire to be "found."

Credit agencies are already askin

the department to help them find disappearing customers. Defrauded men

are trying through the post offices to

locate confidence men who cheated them and departed over night. Some of them feel that they are no less heartbroken than a father who hts not seen his daughter for five years, and they are just as, anxious as he is to locate their missing "friends." This is work for the police. It is not the business of the post office department, and it is not the service of good will which the postmaster general wants his postmasters to perform. Mr. Hays points out that hunting for missing men is not a part of the department's work by any order, and that the department has not obligated itself to find the thousands of lost persons in the country. What Mr. Hays did do was to suggest that he would like the postmasters to do what they can to help sincere persons who have

been unable to locate relatives. The postmaster general's printed suggestion, sent out to the post offices, leaves details as to how this assistance is to be given to the judgment of the postmaster. After he talks

with an inquirer the postmaster may decide that there is no clue to follow, or he may feel that the quest, if successful, would not end in a happy family reunion. How Postmasters Work If he does feel that the visitor is

to become involved in any domestic

affairs. Some of the persons who have written to the department to know how to receive help in locating missing men have shown that they did not quite understand Mr. Hays' offer. Some had a confused idea that the post office system was to write to every postmaster in the country to locate the missing. Wholesale letter writing of this sort by postmasters, or by in

dividuals either, would obviously be"

out or the question. There are more than fifty thousand post offoces In the country. One postmaster wrote that

if he was supposed to send letters to

all his fellow postmasters he would have to have a corps of stenographers.

Mr. Hays' answer was to use his own

judgment.

The post office department does not know how many inquiries are being

brought to post offices, and how many persons are being traced. At first large numbers of letters came in to the department but gradually people are beginning to understand that they are to go to their local post offices. No record of the number of visitors to the postmasters has been collected. Judging by the hundreds of letters

that have come into the department there is great interest in the new service.

Argentine Pro-League -Proposes Early Citizenship (By Associated Press BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 4. Foreigners residing over five years in any country would obtai nautomotically ihe eilizensihip of that country under the provisions of a resolution recently adopted by the Argentine Pro-League of Nations (association which it will send to the next meeting of the Assembly of the league of Nations with a request for its adoption. The resolution is in accordance with a system of obligatory citizenship, of which Dr. Juan Carlos Garay, an Argentine lawyer, is the author. This plan makes a fundamental distinction between citizenship and nationality and provides that foreigners automatically made citizens of the country of their residence shall not lose their original nationality.

He was known as the man who never wore shoes.

asked to help locate the missing, espe

cially by foreigners. The state department almost never tries to trace persons in this country. Where foreigners are searching for lost relatives they are generally referred to their consuls in this country. So.in the past, seekers for missing relatives have received scant help from the government, Mr. Hays considered the rule which says that postmasters may not give out information concerning the names and addresses of persons using the mails. He recognized that the rule is wise in that it insures to persons using the mails protection against annoyance. That was the purpose of the regulation and the postmaster general had no desire

to change it. Everyone who entrusts

letters to the United States mails is assured that employes are not allowed!

to tamper with ihem, and the regulation is safeguarded by heavy penalties. But if relatives who were separated by accident could be brought together without violating the spirit of the ruling, Mr. Hays decided that the service rendered would be valuable to the public. Mr. Hays' plan is simple. Those who are eager to locate missing relatives go to their local postmaster in person and consult with him, giving such facta as the last city where the missing man or woman lived, name, description, and why it is desired to get in touch with him or her. This last is especially important. It is the main reason why the seeker is urged to go direct to the postmaster, instead of writing a letter. The post office department, has no intention of

He may get in touch with postmasters

where the missing man has been. Some postmasters have inserted notices in local newspapers. They have notified police departments. They have given their letter carriers instructions to keep a lookout for a man or woman answering the description given. Some of the missing men have been located in these ways. When a person thus sought is identified, he is told that he is being inquired after. If he wishes to get in touch with the mother, or whoever it is seeking him, he does so. If he does not wish to be rednited to his family, the post office department does nothing further. It has no wish
