MILLIONS ARE SENT ABROAD
EurpY YEAR

1t is estimated that the foreign bor~
population Of this country sends every
year to It's friends and relatives abroad
about three hundred and hfty millioF
dollars or nearly a million dollars
day.
People Of foreign birth who havs
emlgrated TO this country are con-
stantly sending money to their friends
and relatives abroad. and many send
their surplus funds for deposit to some
hank in the "Old Country" as they
usually term their native land
Many Of these immigrants borrow
money to pay their passage over here,
and their first thought after becom-
ing located in this country is TO earn
money sufficient to pay their debts
abroad Very frequently a number OF
families in some little village combine
their meagre savings Of a lifetime 70
send some male member to this coun-
try TO make his fortune and prepare
the way for the coming Of those left
at home. As soon as he accumulates
some money he sends it home and pres
entity another bread-winner arrives
here to assist in the earning of funds
to bring over those who have remained
on the other side. Thus a regular end
less chain Of remittances from Ameri-
ca to Europe results.
Nest OF these small remittances are
sent abroad through a system known
as postal remittances. by which the
actual foreign currency Of the country
where payment is TO be made is deliv-
cred to the residence Of the payee This
system Is In favor because Of its sim
plicity, since 1t avoids the trouble Of
mailing a draft or money order and
enables the payees abroad to obtain
their money quickly. The greater pro-
portion OF this class OF business IS
handled either directly or Indirectly by
the American Express Company
through their numerous agents and
bank correspondents in this country
and abroad. Many banks and steamship
Agents receive money from their pat
rons for remittance to foreign coun-
tries, giving their receipts therefor
and then turn the money over to the
American Express Company for trans
mission and delivery to the payees
abroad. rsgazgv-e~ --.s,r --..-.

GREAT MANY REQUESTS
FOR RESERVED SEATS

Interest In the forthcoming production
of the famous musical comedy success,
,'The Land Of Nod, which occurs at the
