HAULING MONEY OUT OF
CONCEALMENT.

If Postmaster General Hays succeeds
in drawing those suspected millions OF
dollars out OF their boarding places,
such as stockings and old teapots, by
increasing the postal savings interest
rate to three cents, he will have &C.
complished much toward the rehaoiii-
tation of the country. 1t is mare
speculation to say how much money
is being kept out of all use through
the practice of boarding, but it is per
haps reasonable to assert that the TO
tai amount in the United States will
run we'll toward billion dollars. The
total of boarded wealth has increased
very largely during the last year or
two because of the unsettled condi-
ton of the affairs of the world, the
possessers being obsessed by the fear
that their savings will be confscated
through some great overturn in The
social order or through some other rea-
son Just as little likely to happen. Be
ing obsessed by that fear, these peo-
pie believe that the only safety of
their currency possessions lies in con
cealing the money far from banks or
from substantial investments, where
as, as a matter of fact, their property
would be the safer through being put
to use 80 that more money could be
made in legitimate channels. The
greater the reserve the more safe TIE
initial holdings. Yet many people do
not realize that; and they cripple
themselves and the entire industrial
fabric of the nation by withdrawing
their money from circulation and froia
all useful purpose, some hiding it in an
old stocking or old teapot. Others Jury
ing it in the ground or finding some
other out of the way spot for its dis
pasal, where the money may become
irretrievably lost through the death
of the hider, with secret locked in his
own brain. It's mistake to boar
money. Put your money to some rood
use through some legitimate channel.
Get it out of its concealment. Let
it work for you and for the good of
the general business. That, we take
it, is the purpose back of Postm as
ter General Hays plan to encourage
greater investment in the postal de-
partment. The purpose is good ard
the plan ought to succeed.

Plans by the Vermont state high
way department to have a standard
system of marking detours during the
time when main lines Of travel are
being repaired will appeal to those
who use the highways to any extent.
Heretofore, any rude system of mark
ing has been adopted, generally with
ont distinguishing marks other than a
barricade in the road accompanied by
red flag by day and lantern by
night. Sometimes these detour signals
are not placed so that they will the
most readily catch the eye of the user
of the highways. Changes proposed
will remedy many of the defects of
previous marking of detours and ought
to make the roads safer and easier
to travel for residents as well as WIS.,
itors to the state.

A 5l-vear old woman walked TO the
top of Camels Hump the other day IN
three and one -half hours. That's in
teresting. But it would be more in
teresting to know what physical mould
the woman mountain climber is classed
in-whether stout or of the Mrs. Yer
non Castle -that-was model a woman
of the latter designation and at the
age of 81 ought easily to be able to
negotiate the top of Camels Hump in
the time stated. However, we are not
suggesting any open competition
among members of the fair sex toward
a record on hiking up any mountain in
Vermont. 1t is enough to know that
they have the hardihood to make the
climb even though it takes a day.
