UNCLE SAM WILL TAKE
CARE OF YOUR MONEY!

The. war in Europe is proving
a big boon to postal savings in
this country. From the very
day hostilities opened across the
seas postal-savings receipts be
gan to increase by leaps and
bounds and Withdrawals fell off,
a result quite contrary to the
predictions of many well-inform-
ed persons who, in their imagina-
ton, saw lines Of feverish deposit
tories at post office pay windows
anxious to again return their
savings to the bootleg and body
belt repositories whence they
came before entrusted to Uncle
Sam. But the foreeasters failed
to reckon on the absolute conf
dence of the American citizen,
regardless Of the flag that first
met his eyes, in the ability and
purpose of the Government to
carry out it's obligations, not Only
among the nations Of the earth,
but with the humblest citizens
Of our land.
Two important results have
followed; thousands Of people,
largly of foreign birth, aecustom-
ed to send their savings abroad,
are now patrons of our postal
savings system; and enormous
sums of actual cash have been
re leased for commercial uses
among our own people at a
time when. the need for every
available dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings
in the United States has been
steady and healthy and the sys-
tem has filled an important gap
between the tm-can deposi tory
and the factory paymaster. On
July l, when affairs were runn-
ing smoothly here and abroad
and the transmission of money
across the Atlantic was safe and
expeditions, there was approxit
mately $43,0OO,OOO Of postal saw
ings standing to the credit OF
about 388yOGO depositors- Since
tnen over $10,000,O00 Of deposits
has increase d enormously. This
unprecedented gain is the more
striking when it is considered
that the net gain in the last
three months is larger than the
gain for the entire. fiscal year
1914. Scores Of offices have don
more postal-savings business sine
the war has been going on than
was done by them during the.
previous existance Of the ser
Vice. The increases are con-
fined to no special localities,
but hape been felt in every nook
and corner Of the country. New
York City alone made a gain in
September oe more than a mil
lion, while Brooklyn showed
relatively big increase: Chicago
reported a larger gain in the
past 1hree months than for the
previous twelve months. More
than 1000 new accounts were
opened during the period, bring
ing the number of depoitors i'm
that city up to over q, 600.
The unexpected increase in
postalsavings business has not
only added greatly to the geners

tenn, but has brought up many

On the
BOspOrus
A Turkish Love Story
BY GERTRUDE E. MOREHoUSE

Selma and Rabieh, two little Turkish
girls, the former sixteen, the latter
seventeen. living In Constantinople,
went one day for a walk together
along the bank Of the Bosporus. The
location OF Constantinople is beautiful.
and since Leander swan what was
then called the Hellespont to visit
Hero on the opposite shore 1t has been
associated with romance. History
comes In for its share of interest from
the time Constantine made the city on
its European bank the capital Of the
Roman empire.
These two Turkish girls each wore
the charshaf. the long gown Of the
women Of that country. and wells over
their faces. The custom Of keeping
the face covered Is not as obligatory
among Turkish women as formerly,
and some Of them dress in European
costume. Yet these girls. being very
young and unmarried. did not think of

lifting their wells while walking where
they would be liable to meet men, But
coming to a grassy spot, where their
faces would be to the water, they sat
themselves down and. throwing their
wells back, permitted the cool air to
fan their faces.
The BOsporus was covered with all
sorts Of craft. from the skiff to the
ocean steamer lying at anchor, while
on the opposite shore lowered a profu
sion of buildings, minarets and trees.
The boats did not come very near the
slope on which the girls were sitting,
30 there was no necessity for them to
let down their wells. They sat looking
at the various craft out on the water,
now a little steamer plying between
different points on the strait, now a
motorboat and now small sailer
with leg-of-mutton sails. 1t was all 90
charming. so soothing. the breeze was
so refreshing that the maidens reclin
ed on the slope. Rabieh laying her
head in Selma's lap.
1t was not long before Rabieh was
doing and Selma was blinking. There
was sharp point on one side Of them
which cut Off the shore In that direc.
ton. A rowboat came round the point
and passed within a few yards of
them. Selma. who was nodding, sud.
denly started at seeing a young man
with a pair of oars In his hands look
ing straight at her.
At sixteen a girl may be captured by
a look. The young man, who was but
a few years Selma's senior. was wrapt
In admiration and expressed it in ev-
cry feature Of his face. To Selma he
seemed so beautiful that for a moment
she forgot to drop her veil. Then. re-
Numbering to do so. she shut off what
was to the young man a vision Of love
liness.
''Rabieh." exclaimed Selma, shaking
her friend. wake up and let down
your veil! That boat you see pulling
away came very near us. The young
man in 1t is. oh. so beautiful! He has
face that must have been copied
/ from that of Allah"

walked on.
1t was not long after this that Selma
and her mother were crossing the Bos.
porus in one Of the little steamers
used for ferriage. They were seated
In the harem. as all women's apart
ments in Turkey are called, and were

deck without sat the young man who

sitting on the shore For the second
time the two pairs OF eyes met, and
for the second time through them tive

After that Selma saw the young maj
