NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS
Larger Postal Savings Deposits Will
 Now Be Accepted at POstOffice.

Larger postal savings will now be accepted at the post office. This is made possible by an important amend ment to the Postal Savings Act just approved by President Wilson. A post al saving depositor may now have an account amounting to $1,000 upon which interest will be paid. Formerly $500 was the maximum amount he could have to his credit. This enlarg- ment of postal saving facilities will be very gratifying to thousands of de- positors who have already reached the old $500 limit and are anxious to en- trust more of their savings to Uncle Sam. Another feature of the amend ,near that Viii avoid further embar- rassment to tle public and to postal officials is the doing away with the limit on the amount that could be ac cepted from a depositcr monthly. Un- der the old law only $10O could be deposited in calendar month. The amendment abolishes this restriction. While the Postal Savings System has already proved a signal success as is shown by the fact that more than half a-million depositors have over eighty millions dollars standing to their cred it, still it has fallen short of meeting the full demands of the public because of the restrictions which have now been eliminated. Postmaster General Burleson and Third Assistant Post master General Cookery have been tireless in their efforts to secure modification of the limitations and the new liberalizing legislation is particu- larly gratifying to them.
