NEW MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
POstmaster-General Believes 1t Will
Save S5OO,OOO A Year.

Washington, June 13.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock today approved a
new money order form 70 conform
with the new law enacted a few DAYS
ago in Congress. The new law re-
peals that portion Of Section 4O35 of
the Revised Statutes providing that
"postmasters issuing a money order
shall send notice thereof by mail,
without delay, to postmaster on whom
1t is drawn" BY eliminating this ad-
vice to postmasters, it is estimated
that more than 100000 a year will
be saved.
The new form Is two and a half
inches longer than the one In use
at the present time. 1t consists of a
stub, order with marginal check, cou-
pom to be retained by the postmaster
where payment is made and receipt
for the remitter. The order and cou-
pom are both to be mailed by the re-
mitter to the person in whose favor
the order Is drawn.
The new form will be put into use
just AS soon as the Public Printer can
secure safety paper and begin print
ing.
