 HOPE TO REACH
 THIS COUNTRY

Riga, Latvia, July 1s = Little groups of observation-disclosures who were deported or volunteered to go from America to Soviet Russia. are trickhng back across the Latvian frontier from the land of the Bol- sheviki very frequently. these days, all with the hope of getting back to the United States.
 These emigrants, according to American consular officials. who hear their stories and have to tell them to get back, are greatly d1sap- pointed with what they found in the Promised Land"
 They tell of starvation and long pie that there is scarcely room to breath.
 Besides those who have succeeded in getting to Latvia, there are many Riga asking for money from Amer ica-
 The Moscow correspondent of the Riga Rundschau writes as follows about the Russian-AInericanS inside the country:
 ''The numbers of Russian Commu- nists expelled from America. who with wry faces are selling their last goods and chattIes on the Moscow market places are increasing every day.
 t~The Soviet government is doing it's utmost to keep these people above water by giving them even whole fac- tories to run and to manage. But as these factories are very much run down, even American spirit and en- ergy is not sufficiently strong to set them in operation.
 "A little better off are those of the immigrants who have managed to take with them from America their tools Or goods produced by their trade. Such people are doing a big business and can afford to live we'll Thus, one party. of em- igrants has succeeded in installing | a. small sewing factory containing about 300 sewing machines. Formerly the Soviet Government l would have simply confiscated this i lucrative enterprise but at present | the government is a little wary. the more so as in this case they have. to do with enaigrants whom they make i point of treating with the great est possible courtesy and considera- | tion.
 Quite recently there arrived a | party of Americans whose speciality | is the construction of small dwell | ing houses. They are welcomed and aided by the Soviet government

KEEP YOUR MONEY
 WORKING FOR YOU
Idle Dollars "Burn Hole in Your Pocket and Tempt
 the Devils HOld-Up Men

If the old saying that "an idle brain is the devils workshop" Is true, then 1t may also be true that idle money is the devils tempter. Certainly idle money, which more often than not @buns @ hole in ones pocket" is not of any particular benefit to the owner. It is the wise man or woman who sets his money at work for his benefit Study the habits of most of your friends who have become weu-to-do and even wealthy by the work of their own brains and hands end you will be surprised to discover how few Of them carry more than few dollars in their pockets as spending money" They have found out that it is best to keep their cash employed, turning over and over and accommodating in terest or dividends for their benefit This is the way they have forged ahead.
 Carnegie Carried Little C; sh
 Few men were thriftier and few ac- cumulated money as did the late An drew Carnegie, yet MT. Carnegie rare 1y carried much money in his pockets. This led to very amusing situation on board ship one day when the "Laird O. Skibo" was on his way to Scotland to spend the summer at his Scotch castle
 At the request of some of the sailors Harry Lauder dressed in his native costume and tartan-gave- 8 concert before the passengers In keeping with his promise to the sailors, at the close of the concert he passed his tam" to collect money for the benefit of the Sailors Orphan Fund. . As MT. Lauder came up. to Mir. Car negie the mUltimil1ionaifef felt first in one pocket then in another, but colI- m't find dollar. Knowing Lau- der well, he leaned over and wIris- pered: Harry, put five dollars in the plate for me-" MT. Lauder smiled and seeing a fine chance to have joke he said in loud voice: ~I'm verra, vera sorry, MT. Carnegie, canna do any thing for ye, ma breeks are in the cabin" MT. Carnegie joined in the laughter that followed, as he always appreciated Q good joke, even when it was lon him." Nevertheless he did not take to carrying any more money in his pockets; he kept 1t at work when he was not actually using it.
 Idle Money Tempts Thieves
 Eighty-four hoIdups and robberies involving the loss of money in sums ranging from few dollars to a few thousand dollars were reported to the police of Boston from Aug z, 1920, to Mar B, 1921, and were verified, while a number of other reports were traced and found to have been false This shows one of the dangers of trying to carry idle money on the person or leave it in the house or shop where it is in danger from thieves and hold up men Then, also, there is the risk Of fire destroying it.
 In the same period 165 injured per. cons were cared for by the police, there were about g violent deaths and CS persons were stricken ill on the city

streets, all of whom might have had money that could have been taken be- fore the police assistance came to them.
 Of course, many Of the victims of rob bers had their cash restored through the efficient work of the pofice-but many others did not because the rob bers escaped or spent the money be- fore they were arrested
 Money Lost Through Hoarding
 Here are some examples \ of idle money falling into the hands of per sons who had no claim to it:
 Jan. 16-JoseDh Peters of 116 Chandler street reported to the police that two men appeared before him in him. took s69o which he had con cealed in his bed. They made their escape
 : Michael Lividzensh of 2s Kirkland street was, on Feb. g, relieved of $2000 by strangers who played the notorious handkerchief game" on him.
 sitting in chair, were held up by two men in Dr. Louis Kaston's office, 276 Fremont street, Nov. 24, the former losing 8 or $4 and the patient about $40
 Earle Goodnough of II Hunter street lost from $50 to $75 to two men who used gun in holding him up on New England avenue, Dec IS. Miss Ellen Cahi1I of Providence who was guest at A Hillside ave nue, Roxbury, was held up and robbed of $8 in cash, a $500 diamond ring and a $400 fur coat as she was enter ing the door on Mar. 23. FourfIushine With Money Foolish These are only typical instances that go to show the dangers of car rying cash or va1uables on ones per son, especially at night, when the
 money might as well be in a bank or
 otherwise safely invested and earn notorious Handkerchief game" on ing interest.
 -Four flushing with a roll of bills may be favorite diversion of a cer. ! tain type of person-but it's likely to prove costly one through loss of the display and, anyway, it costs some thing if one figures what it might be earning Not only this, from a selfish viewpoint but it should be borne in
 mind that money safely invested helps ones community, State and nation and keeps more people employed at better wages
 Think of these things when you have some idle dollars and invest them in the ~safest security on earth"-Unitet States Treasury savings securities There are the Thrift Stamps for 2 quarter and the Treasury Savings 1 Stamps for$1which pay no interest Abu, afford an easy methodR getting togeth- CT enough to buy War Savings Stamp. l and Treasury Savings Certificates which do pay interest and which ars as safe as anything on earth can be I If it's worth while to be safe, it, worth while to pick the safest Of al )UncIe Sam-fo care for your cash

Maps All In on
 Australia S Place

Sydney, N. S. w, July 19-Aus- tralia's exact position on world maps, originally determined by Captain James Cook, the early explorer, was brought into question recently when wireless authorities, after direct checking by radio with standard time clocks at Lyons, France, said they be- lieved there is an error of perhaps 100 yards on all maps in Austraia's s north-south lines.
 SeafarerS who first Sketched Aus tra1ia's position based their calcula- tions on the chronometer, the finely made watch which keeps Greenwich time. Correction were made from time to time, until final checking by able was believed to be accurate.
 Lately, however, Sydney wireless men who have been listening to the clock ticks at Lyons say they have discovered there is a percepuble loss of time in transmitting the correct seconds over the cable This loss, it is said, led to errors in map-making
