He came from somewhere over In

drove a taxi through London streets
Meyer loves machinery and he
earned much. He worked for a time
for man who drove racing auto
mobile, and Meyer was proud 10 help
in the pits during race.
, The young man who employed him
as mechanician grew weary OF the
auto racing. and, TO get more thrills,
went into aeroplane driving
Meyer loved the motors OF aero
Jlanes even more than he did those

No one considered Meyer hero. He

Usually he Is grease despatched and

But, when the war came, he went
across the channel to France, as Ar.
uficer Meyer, attached to one Of the

ing corps. All the others were heroes.
Meyer was only a mechanician.
On Sept. 10 the dirigible airship to
the care OF which Meyer devoted his
time was sent from point near o.

suddenly there was a shiver that

themselves and gazed at each other,

The drivers declare that the bak-

WAR HELPS POSTAL BANKS
Deposits in Government Institutions
Show Big Increases.
SHOW GAIN OF TEN MILLIONS
DepOsitOrs since That Time Have
Added Thousands of Small As
counts TOtaIinE Many Mil
lions of Dollars.

Officials at Washington announce that
the war in Europe is proving big boon
to postal savings in this country. From
the very day hostlities opened postal saw
ings receipts began to increase and with
drawals fell off, a result quite contrary
TO the predictions of many we'll informed
persons. who in their imagination, saw
lines Of feverish depositors at postoffice
pay windows anxious to again return their
savings deposits whence they came before
intrusted to Uncle Sam.
Two important results have followed;
thousands or peop.e largely Of foreign
birth, accustomed to send their savings
abroad. are now patrons of the postal
savings system, and enormous sums OF
actual cash have been released for COM
mercial uses among Americans 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 system has filled an i'm
portant gap between the depository and
the factory paymaster. On July l. when
affairs were running smoothly here and
abroad and the transmission of money
across the Atlantic was safe and ex-
100000 of postal savings standing to the
credit of about SSSOOO depositors. Since
then over SO 100000 of deposits have been
added and the number of depositors has
increased enormously This unprecedented
gain is the more striking when it Is con-
sidered that the net gain in the last three
months is larger than the gain for the
entire fiscal year 1914. Scores of offices

since the war has been going on than
was done by them during the previous
existence Of the service. The increases
are confined TO no special localities. but
have been felt in every nook and corner
of the country. New Work City alone
made a gain in September of more than
a million, while Brooklyn showed a
relatively big increase. Chicago reported
a larger gain in the last three months
than for the previous twelve months.
More than 1000 new accounts were opened
during the period, bringing the number
of deposltors in that city up to over
1900.
The unexpected increase in postal saw
ings 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 personal con-
sheraton of Postmaster General Burle-
son and Governor Dockery, third as
sstant postmaster general But their
task has been lightened somewhat by the
promptness of depository banks in fur
nishing additional security to meet the
abnormal deposits. A number of the
very largest banks in the country, which
have heretofore declined to qualify as
repositories for postal savings funds, are
now among the eager applicants for
them,
