Every person in the United States ten
years old or over may open an account
in a postal savings bank after July 1st,
according to an instructive leafet on the

Postmaster General Burleson. This i'm
portant extension of the service will be
made possible by permitting persons
living in communities so sparsely settled
as not 10 justify the designation of their
local post offices as regular postal saving
banks to open accounts by mail.
Upwards of 500, 900 depositors now
have accounts in the Postal Saving Sys-
tenn and they represent every nationality
on the earths They also represent al
most every known occupation-profes-
sional men, theatrical people, mechan-
les, laborers, fishermen, pack peddlers,
etc. But the majority are wage earners.
Postal savings receipts have broken all
records the past year. During the eight
months prior to April 1st there was a
net gain in deposits of $40, 900. 600. as
against gain of ss, 900, 900 for the same
months the year before. Thousands OF
