The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system. but has brought
up many new and interesting problems
which have called for the careful per
sOnal consideration of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson and Third Assistant
Postmaster General Dockery. But
their task has been lightened some
what by the promptness of depository
banks in furnishing additional secur-
ity to meet the abnormal deposits.
A number of the very largest banks in
the country. which have heretofore de-
clined to qualify as repositories for
postal-savings funds. are now among
the eager applicants for them.
Increase in Local Deposits.
The growth of the postal-savings at
the Rock Island postoffice has KEEP:
pace with the conditions elsewhere
within the United States, as will be
observed by the fact that the increase
in the amount of deposits for the three
months ending Sept 80, over the three
months ending June 80 last, were 10
per cent; the increase in the number
OF new depositors for the same periods
has been 81 per cent.
The increase in the amount Of de-
posits for the three months ending
Sept 80. over the corresponding three
months in 1913 was 104 per cent. The
increase in the number of new depos-
itors for the same periods was 81 per
cent.
In Small Amounts.
The deposits in the postal-savings |

mainly in small denominations. and the 4

right as the fat disappeared, making
smoky fame, which necessitated a
constant use of the snuffers. This
trouble is avoided in the modern can
die by the simple expedient of plating
one side of the wick a little sitter

owing to the wax having burnt away,
it naturally bends over to one side.
Now at the extreme edge of the flame
the gaseous products, of the candle are
mixed with excess of oxygen from the

in the wick and speedily changes them
into oxides. This always keeps the
