MANY FEAR BANKS
Large Class Prefers to Hoard
Its Savings.
Foreigners Especially Are Guilty q
the Folly Of Carrying Large
Sums on Their Persons.

A contractor on the Ohio river was
putting In cofferdam. It was dam
gerous and dirty work. One day the
dam broke. A number Of workmen
were caught and sucked under by the
thrush OF water. They all came to the
surface and were rescued but one.
This poor chap disappeared and they
were unable to find his body. although
diligent search was made.
After the cofferdam was repaired
and the water pumped out the body
Of the missing man was found buried
in the muddy bottom.
The reason he did not rise to the
surface with the rest was that he had
fastened about his waist a belt con-
tanning S1,250 in gold.
His money belt was his bank and in
trying to save his money he lost his
life, Charles Aubrey Eaton writes in
LeSlie'S.
Around the Pittsburgh district they
get their building sand by dredging the
river bottoms. Not long ago a work
man on one of the dredging scows
found in the sand brought up by the
dredge, leather pocketbOok contain
ing $1.70O. He reported his find to the
boss and the company advertised for
the owner of the money.
A Hungarian laborer from one of the
big manufacturing plants answered the
advertisement and claimed the money.
The story told by this man was ex-
traOrdnary. He had made the pocket
book himself at home out of piece of
leather which he had bought for the
purpose. He produced the remnant Of
of his proof of ownership. One day
he had accidentally dropped his peck
etbOOk down a manhole into q street
sewer. He went to the spot where the
sewer cmpties into the river and with
out food or drink watched for three
days and nights, in the hope that the
pocketbook would come through to the
river. At last he gave up in despair
and it was more than year later that
the workman on the dredge fished the
thing up out of the river bottom.
A fOreign-born workman was hurt in
western Pennsylvania mine. When
he was brought to the surface for
treatment they found that he had fas-
tened under his left arm an oiled skin
silk bag containing $3.50.
One day during the war spoke to
a crowd of 5000 workmen I'm an east
ern shipyard. After the meeting an
italian laborer came to me and asked
if he could speak to me in private.
We retired behind pile Of lumber and
he produced $500 worth of liberty
bonds which he had been carrying in
belt next to his body and which
were becoming soiled and discolored
He wanted to know where he could
put his bonds for safekeeping, as he
was afraid they would be stolen IL he
carried them around him at his work

company and suggested that his duty
was only half done when he had edu.
