said the speaker.
Every business man should have
a bank account and pay bills by
check. The accounts of individuals
should also be paid by check and the
use of currency restricted.
The boarding of currency Is also
unsafe.
BY getting that boarding out OF
its secret places and into the banks.
by every one carrying but little cur

checkbook as recommended. we can
quickly cure one of our present prob

WASH RAGS SAVE s,so,ooo.
Laundry System in Auto Factory Re
suits in Bio Savinu.

Toledo, O.. July So A laundry
system installed by the WHY'S Over
land Company to reclaim rags used
in wiping oil and grease in manufac-
turing operations is being investi-
gated by numerous industries and
adopted by some OF them.
The high price and scarcity Of rags
make that item a large one. Where
formely rags were thrown away they
are nov, laundered and used several
times.
Large washing machines, similar
to those, used in laundries have been
Installed. That is only one instance
OF factory economy adopted by in
dustries in the present era of high
cost OF other than elemental mater
ials. !
It is estimated that the saving in
rags BY this one comptlny will
amount to approximately $15o,ooo
annually.

By Associated Press.
Boston, July 30.-Charles J. Ponzi,
who claims to have amassed millions
within few months, and who has
paid to the public large profits on
their investments in his deals in in
ternational exchange, appeared to-
day almost to have satisfied questions
among his investors as to his SOL
vency. Only a short line formed be-
fore the payment window Of the
Ponzi office this morning and when
disbursement was resumed, clerks
said they were paying off nearly as
much or notes matured for the 50
per cent profit in forty-five days, as
they were returning TO frightened in
vestors in principal, without interest
on notes surrendered short Of ma
turity.
|, The amount paid out by Ponzi
since the run began Monday was es-
timated by his manager at $500, 900.
Ponzi, few days ago, announced
that his liabilities were about $3,0OO,-
600, indicating that public participa-
tion in his schemes already has been
reduced by one half, with further re-
ceipts stopped by his agreement with
the authorities to accept no more
funds until investigation Of his ac-
count is made.
Examination Of the books, however,
according to the manager, will not
solve the mystery of how Ponzi has
made his money.
To the statements of Postmaster
Patten, of New York, that there are
not enough international coupons in
the world to build up the fortune
which 1'onzi claims is his, the man
ager declared that his chiefs man
ner of 'cashing in" on his operations
was business secret which he in
tended keeping and which examina-
ton of his books would not show.
United States Attorney Gallagher
announced later that firm OF andi-
tors hal begun work on Ponzi's books
in behalf Of the federal authorities.
The en,ire staff OF the firm would be
employed, he said, IN order to COM
plete the work quickly. AT Mr.. Gal
lagher's request, Chief Postoffice In
spector II. B. Mosby detailed one of
his force to be present at the audit.

lieve that in the league had been
found a remedy for all international
difficulties. If all the nations threw
all their problems on it in these early
days, before it's objects have been
ingrained in the peoples minds, he
asserted the league could not func-
