Extendi Postal Savings System tc
Accommodate People Living in
Rural Districts
Every person In the United States 1f
years old or over may open an account
In a postal savings bank after .luly 1
■ according to an instructive leaflet or
1 the Postal Savings System just issued
;>>' Postmaster-General Burleson. Thif
important extension or the service wll
be made possible by permitting person;
living In communities so sparsely set
tled as not to justify the designation
of their local post offices as regular
postal savings banks to open accounts
by mail.
Governor Dockery, Third Assistant
Postmaster-Genera', who has direct
supervision of postal savings, was so
impressed by appeals from all over the
•country to open postal savings accounts
by mail that he took up the task some
weeks ago of working out a feasible
and safe method for meeting the de
mand.
Under the plan adopted by the Post
mHflter-General for opening accounts
by mall an intending depositor, resld
where there is nn regular designat
ed postal savings bank, will apply to
his local postmaster who will see that
necessary Identification data Is prepared
and forwarded to a nearby post office
authorised to accept deposits. TIW in
tending depositor will then be given
permission to forward his first and
subsequent deposits by money order or
registered mail direct to the postmaster
at the banking point for which receipts
or certificates will be Issued. He may
withdraw all or any part of his postal
savings by mail and on demand to
gether with any Interest that may be
due him.
The new leaflet points out thnt any
person 10 years old or over may open
an account in his or her own name; that
an account may tm opened »by a mar
ried woman free from any'control or
Interference by her husband; that post
office officials arc forbidden to disclose
to any person, except the depositor, the
amount of any deposits: that with
drawals may be made without previous
notice; and that the Government guar
antees to repay all deposits on demand
With accrued interest.
The leaflet will soon be printed in
twenty-two foreign languages for dis
tribution through the local post offices.
Postal savings receipts have broken
all records the past year. During the
eight months prior to April 1 there was
a net gain in deposits of $1 H.ftOO.noO, as
against a gain of $8,000,000 for the
same months the year before. Thou
sands of new accounts have been open
ed and the millions made up largely
of hidden savings have been turned
back into the channels of trade Justjit
a time when there was pressing demand
for every dollar.
PATIENT "HATED" ETHER
Watched Calmly \Vliile Doctors Out
Legs Off
Youngstown, Ohio, May 17.—One of
Hie most remarkable exhibitions of
physical courage on record in the City
Hospital here was given this morning
by Preston Sugick, 2 5 years old, of
Harrisburg.
Sugick, in jumping from a freight
train at Lowellvilte. ten miles south
east of here, early this morning, had
his left foot caught and was dragged
under the wheels. His foot and ankle
were crushed. Three cars passed over
them.
He pulled himself loose and crawled
to a switch light on the New Castle
and Youngstown Limited street car
line. He saw a street car coming and,
picking up a newspaper lying near by,
be lighted it with a match and at
tracted the attention of the crew. The
cars was stopped and Sugick brought
to the hospital here.
At the hospital he refused to take
ffther, saying: "I don't like the smell
of that stuff; it makes me sick." While
the surgeon was amputating the leg
between the ankle and the knee Sugick
calmly watched the operation.
The name of Preston Sugick does
not appear in the city directory. It i 3
believed the Harrisburg referred to in
the dispatch Is Harrisburg, Ohio.

PHOTOPLAY—"AFTER THE BALL"
A little maiden climbed an old man's
knee.
Regged for a story, "Do, Cncle, please.
Why are you single? Why live alone?
Have you no babies? Have you no
home?"
The story he tells this madlen makes
a society iTrnma and thrlll-Hlled melo
drama. Supplementary to the main
action in "After the Bail" Is an under
world story containing thrilling mo
mertii There is a handover-hand
clothesline escape from a house be
sieged by the police; there is a fifty
foot jump of Barney M''Phee from a
bridge into the water; there is a pur
suit of a train by a motor-mounted
policeman, who jumps from his mat
chine to the rear platform, only to lose
his quary when there is a jump into
the river below as tho train passes over
a bridge, and one of the greatest race
track scenes ever shown on the screen.
The scene dissolves back-to the little
child with her arms around her Uncle
John, who murmured:
"That's why I'm lonely,
No home at all:
I broke her heart, pet,
After the ball."
