a legacy Of $500 which had been willed

The man wanted to deposit the entire
$500, but was not allowed TO oeposiS
more than 500, because Of the postai
savings regulation which makes that
the maximum amount which any person
may deposit in month. He announced
his intention Of depositing another S1oO

recently opened accounts for 500 each
at Norfolk, Va, and produced the sum
in silver dollars. They continued these
deposits of silver coin, at the rate of
s10O a month, until the maximum OF
$500 had been reached by each OF them
The postmaster asked them how II
happened that they had such a large
amount of money in silver coin. They
replied that it represented the accumu-
lations of a lifetime and that they had
used silver because it would not de-
cay and could not be destroyed. The
appearance of the money made it evil
dent that it had been buried.
Although a depositor in the postal
savings system may not have more
than $500 on deposit at one time. he is
allowed to exchange his deposits in
amounts of SEQ or multiples thereof
for United States registered or coupon
bonds bearing 2la per cent interest
and the amount invested In these bonds
is not counted as part of the maxi
mum amount which each depositor is
allowed. An interesting feature of this
branch of the system is that 81 per
cent of the depositors who purchased
bonds requested the registered form
indicating that they were for perma-
nent investment.
