In the 3,000 and more schools which have inaugurated savings systems, Tuesday morning of aeh week is bankingerdav. For ten minutes each week every school room becomes a branch bank, every teacher a receiving * ' ' teller, and every pupil a real or a potential depositor. On October 18. 1021. boys and girls in the public schools of I Pittsburgh, Pa., opened 50,250 accounts, this l>ein gthe largest number of individual banking account ever opened in a single day in a single city. The total deposits for the day included fOO pounds of pennies. Six years ago a boy in a small town in Pennsylvania started an account with a deposit of one cent. He has never made a with drawal and the Jan. 1, 1923, baL * ance on his account was $5,402. A Yen-year-old girl in Akron. Ohio, started an account with a tuted in her school seven years ago. Last spring, when she was graduated from high’ school, she drew from the,, bank SB4O the accumulated amount of her savii first payment on a family home. K In some indust rial centers the jfr. children are encouraged to earn A their own money to put in the A • school savings bank. In a mining town in Indiana. 50 boys in one class room are all earning the pennies and nickels and dimes for their weekly deposits. One boy in the class, physically unable to work, is hired by the others to act as monitor and collect the books on banking day, so that he. too, may have some money to deposit. This method of school savings was devised by J. Robert Stout and Rex T. Stout, president and secretary respectively of the Educational Thrift Service of New York city.

UNUSUALLY COMPLETE IS OVERLAND RED BIRD Nothing has been omitted from the list of equipment made standard on the new Overland Red Hird, but what is necessary and convenient for the motorist who demands something out of the ordinary and who at the same time does not want to plunge into reckless extravagance in having his ideal satisfied. Included in the equipment are bumpers front and rear, wind shield wiper, scuff plates, door grips, spare rim and tire carrier, besides the usual dash light, the speedometer and other accessories. Glistening nickeled radiator with bar cap. nickeled head lamps, wind shield stanchions, outside door handles, scuff plates and back curtain window frame are admiraby set off by a khaki top with red bindings and welts. Red Spanish grained upholstering leaves a pleasant impression when blended £ith the superb and rich, gleaming Mandalay maroon, a shade that is exciting a deal of interesting comment, affording to the eye as it does a delightful sense of color sjlrightliness, artistically subdued to a tone of agreeable refinement. The Red Bird has a roomier body, riding on a lengthened wheel base of 106 inches and a j spring base of 136 inches. This specification alone insures extremely comfortable traveling at all times and under the inost adverse conditions. When the patented tripex springs, adopted by Overland engineers, are further considered, it will be readily understood that restful riding is j one of the many outstanding, merits of this new car. ■ j >:■ ht side, Fisk cord tires., 30x31 are also standard equipment on the Red Bird, enhanc-1 jing its value to the purchaser • and adding to his motoring satisfaction. The engine is larger and more powerful and in every way adapted to maintain that far-reach-ing reputation of creditable, economical performance gained by the Overland motor. Speed, flexibility. quick pick-up and low :osf of operation are established and proven facts. The Red Bird has a one-piece differential case of great enduring strength. * There are no bolts to work loose and no openings for faulty assembly to throw halves out of nent through dirt or other foreign matter working in between the halves. The design permits of unusually large differential pinions. The ring gear is exceptionally large, of the spiral bevel type and with the accurately cut pinion runs smoothly, quietly and without trouble or need of tment for many thousands of miles of service. Particularly noteworthy is the substantial, well.assembled, strong rear axles j _2

assembly, with axle shafts 1| inches in diameter. The axles can be removed without dissembling the housing and all the bearings are of the highest types known. These features and the many estimable points of excellence in mechanism, single out the Overland Red Bird as deserving of discriminating favor. o | THE PLACING OF RURAL MAIL BOXES Indianapolis, June 18.—The U\ S. Post Office Department and the state highway commission are to co-operate to set rural mail boxes a certain distance off right of w’ay of state roads, to the end that a better road service and also an improved mail service be given. Because some mail boxes are set too dose the road making overland travel hazardous, the commission some time ago, says John D. Williams, director, took the matter up with postal authorities to see if there was a fixed distance for placing same. The fourth Assistant Postmaster General, has written C. Gray chief engineer of the commission, that postal authorities will co-operate with the commission. In view of this co-oper-ation the highway commission has instructed A. H. Hinkle, superintendent of maintenance, to see that his field men take up the matter of the mail boxes with the residents along state roads. It is agreed by postal and highway officials that mail boxes shall set five feet back off the right-of-way of all improved roads. Estimating that Indiana j state roads are 18 feet wide, I then the box should be situated ■ 14 feet from the center of the I road. "It is very desirable,” says Mr. ! Hinkle, "to have some gravel, [ cinders or stone, in front of the mail boxes so that rural carriers will not have to drive through rut or mud holes in delivering mail. However, it is held that it is the duty of the the mail box to provide such material as needed.” Mr. Hinkle explains that the highway department will keep up the shoulder of the road in front of the box, and says that all his field men have been instructed to see that no mail boxes are put up against the pavement. A bulletin issued today by Mr. Hinkle instructs field engineers and superintendents to see that all drainage ditches filled up be cleared at once so that the proper drainage is afforded. Often these ditches are obstructed by making driveways to property. We do not wish to be unreasonable but property owners must not obstruct these drainage ways," Mr. Hinkle says. o ■ Journal want-ads are invest ments that pay dividends.

THE “GREEN” DRIVER The motoring season is on in fuli blast —and so are the accidents. And all over the country this question is being asked daily, “Whose fault was it?” In this connection it is interesting to note that a very small percentage of the accidents are really due to the “green’’ driver. On the other hand, they can almost always be laid at the door of tne man who has had a car a long enough time to know how it should be operated. The new driver is far more careful than the experienced one, because he is afraid of hurting both himself and his car. So he looks a long way ahead, keeps well to his side of the road, and takes his” time. The “wise guy,” who is of the opinion he knows more about motor cars than the men who build them, invites chance to sit on the seat with him, and, if he gets through unscathed, he actually believes it was due to his skill. Our advice to auto drivers when out motoring is to watch the “wise” drivers, for there is no stunt they will not attempt. Do not worry so much about the “green” driver. He will be the last one hurt and the last one ” to cause you injury. o SALE OF FURNITURE The undersigned will sell at public auction at his residence, the former Homer Darr place, corner of John and Front streets, Syracuse, on Saturday.
