The original appropriation for start

asked for an even half million dollars

that with the new half-million dollar

In fact, heavy volume of early de-

purpose of the trial banks was to

The first months trial showed de-

the small postotfices selected for the
experiment. In certain trial towns
the first months business was so
large that the local banks which had
qualified as government repositories
for the postal savings funds had not
furnished sufficient securities of the
kind required by the postofflce for
the safety Of the government de-
posits.
The figures have not yet been an

examination of tho months business
shows the surprising fact that postal
banks established in farming COM
munities showed even greater de-
posits than those in industrial cen

Private savings banks apparently
have not suffered from the postal
savings system. Reports from the
towns selected for the experiment
show that in the first month the sums
deposited in the postal banks were
not taken from accounts in private
savings banks. 1t was all hidden

EASTERN time IS
GAINING GROUND.
Movement Growing Daily and Indica-
tions Are for Success When Matter
Is Submitted To Vote.

The campaign waged by the More
Daylight club for the adoption Of east
ern standard time in Detroit, is meet
Ing with amrked success, and those
behind the movement are highly
pleased with results obtained thus far.
1T is gratifying to see the way
business, professional and working
men are responding to the appeal for
more daylight" said John f. Smith,
secretary of the organization. With
In a single week, we have distributed
10000 more daylight buttons ana
every day We are getting requests
from factories and other places where
men are employed, for more buttons.
We have ordered another 10000, but
according to the present outlook, that
number will hardly suffice our needs"
Mr.. Smith and NJ. p. Brady, OF the
executive committee, who is also u
member of the executive committee
of the Detroit Federation of Labor,
have been busy the past week in ad-
dressing labor organizations and IN
distributing literature and buttons.
This week IL Is planned to take to the
different factories charts showing the
distribution Of daylight and demon
strating in concrete way, how the toll
ers will be benefited by the change In
time.
The club received an encouraging
letter from DR.. j. III. Dempster, editor
OF the Detroit Medical Journal. The
letter follows:
The question of adoption of
eastern standard time in this city
Is one which concerns the whole
population. In view or the fact
that in the near future the citi-
zens OF Detroit will be called
upon to express themselves OH
the matter OF whether the faster
time is to be in vogue, II Is well
that they should understand clear
ly the significance Of the move
ment. To one who has lived
where the eastern standard pre-
walls, no argument Is required to
persuade him to go to the polls
and vote in the affirmative. That
a great deal OF dissatisfaction ex-
lists over central standard time
cannot be gainsaid. There are
many in Detroit who still cling to
the old sun time, at one time In
use here. The adoption OF east
ern standard time will not only
mean more daylight, which itself
Is good thing, but II will meaa
leisure at the end OF the day and
more time for recreation. II will
mean rest an hour earlier At
night, when sleep is the most re-
freshing.
II is a recognized fact among
the leaders in the medical profes-
sion that one of the best means
OF prevention OF disease Is plen-
tiful supply of wholesome food.
and the required amount OF re-
freshing sleep, and II is difficult
matter to estimate which Is the
!. greater boon, rest or nourish-
ment
The more daylight movement
is seeking to bring about con
ditIon of affairs which will give
the needed relaxation at the close
OF day. Not only is the move
ment conducive TO health and hap
piness. but II will be productive
of financial saving in the matter
OF artificial lighting.
