Lost Money Orders Worth Millions

pie become better acquainted with
the character of money order
transaction the accumulated sum
promises to become almost fabulous
This money has accumulated through
no fault of the United States. The
system is perfect and instructions
are clear and ample.
For one thing 1t is known that
persons purchasing money orders ig-
norantly destroy them, believing that
the order constitutes nothing more
than receipt Many persons also
are In the habit of purchasing mon
ey orders before travelling from one
place to another, with a view of con.
yerting them into cash as needed and
'hese are lost through carelessness
by fire, etc.
1t also frequently happens that or
dcrs are sent to wrong addresses, and
after repeated attempts on the part
of the postotlice department TO ind
the payee or remitter, are sent to the
department together with advices. as
unpaid.
In one instance claim for the
payment OF a lost postal note was al,
lowed 25 years after it became inval-
i'd. 1t will be seen that as trustee for
its Citin'ns IN the transfer of pri.
vate funds the United States exercises
diligence in an attempt to find the
rightful owner. And yet millions are
still outstanding for which claimants
will never appear. This vast sum is
