Saving Habit Becomes
A Fascination

That the habit of saving money Is
one of the most, if not the most, i'm
portant of all human habits is the
bold assertion of the editor of the
Burlington IN. ~ Enterprise. He
says that it is easy to start and that
it soon becomes a fascination to the
saver; it protects the home and the in
dividual; it benefits the community
and business; it helps make char
acter: it gives growing contentment
to life: ii builds respectability; II
elcvates and solidifies families; il
makes for power and progress. Nc
lesson, particularly at the; moment
when the resources Of the world are
largely impoverished. is more, import
ant to learn than the lesson of saw
ing; saving not only money itself, but
saving the various commodities which
we use from day to day. 1t is often
impossible for individuals or families
to save steadily and all the time. Ere
qucntly people run into bad luck
loss of work, illness-which makes
money saving Impossible. But every
normal man and women does have
the chance with reasonable regularity
to lay by money for the future, and
he who doesn't do it is foolish. He
will pay for the neglect in bitterness
of spirit hundred, times before he
dies.
Men and women who invest their
savings in Treasury ;Javings Certi
ficates or. deposit their money ir
Postal Savings are looking to the fu.
ture. In case of emergency, Treasury
Certificates can be converted into cash
substantially on demand. Postal Saw
ings, under the more liberal plans now
being worked out by the Postmaster
General, may be withdrawn without
advance notice.

PENROSE BURIED
.INGARIY DAWN !
Only Brothers and Their
Families Accompany SEN
ator's Body to Cemetery

Simplicity marked the burial yes
terdav of Senator Boise Penrose, in
accordance with his wishes, and SIM
plicity marked the brief will which
was filed late in the day with Register
of Wills William F. Campbell.
For purposes of rebate, the value
OF the estate is, placed at S2OO,O0O, al
though it is believed by friends OF the
late Senator that appraisement Will
disclose much larger sum. The Will
shows the directness with which the
mind of the Senator operated.
1t was drawn up seventeen years
ago and remained unchanged. 1T be-
uueaths the entire estate to his three
brothers. Dr.. Charles Bingham Pen
rose, Richard A. +. Penrose, Jr., and
Spencer Penrose.
1t was with full recognition of the
fact that death was at hand that Sen
ator Penrose made his arrangements
for his burial in accordance with ms
plan Of life and following family ira
ditions.
BY request Of members of the Sen
ator's immediate family, Congress did
not appoint committee to attend the
funeral, despite the fact that until the
time of his death, Senator Penrose was
an overshadowing figure at the nat
ional capitol.
1t was in the grey of early morn
ing that the three Penrose brothers
arrived at the family home, 1881
Spruce street which had been the
home of the late Senator and his
father.
Accompanying DR.. Penrose was his
son, Boies, Jr., and his daughter Mrs
Andrew Van Pelt. Mrs. Spencer Pen,
rose accompanied her husband. The
relatives Of the late Senator left their
automobiles parked in Broad street
near Spruce and walked to the house
Within few minutes a motor-driv.
en- hearse appeared at the doorway
and six stalwart men carried from the
house the bronZc-lined casket. There
were no flowers, no public service. 1r
addition to the members of the family
there were present. at the final service
only Leighton Taylor, secretary to the
Senator, and Miss Mabel Ciendencn
the nurse who was with the Senator
at the time of his death.
Neither men nor women in the little
party displayed any outward sign OF
mourning. All were in ordinary
mourning dress. There was no crepe
upon the door Of the house. Senator
Penrose went to his last earthly rest
ing place exactly as he had planned
