POSTAL SAVINGS MAY
BE INCREASED.
Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post office.
This is made possible by an impori-
tant amendment to the iostal Sav
ings Act just approved by President
Wilson. A postal savings depositor
may have an account amounting to
interest will be
paid. Formerly $500 was the maxi-
mum amount he could have to his
credit. This enlargement of postal
'savings facilities will be very grati-
fying to the thousands of depositors
who have already reached the old
$500 limit and are anxious to entrust
more of their savings to Uncle Sam.
Another feature of the amendment
that wil lavoid further pembagrass-
ment to the public and to potal offi-
cials is the doing away with the lim-
it on the amount that could be ac-
cepted from a depositor monthly.
Under the old law only $100 could be
deposited in a calendar month. The
amendment abolishes this restriction,
While the postal Savings System
has already proved a signal success
ag is shown by the fact that more
than ‘half a million depositors have
over eighty million dollars standing
to their credit; still it hasf allen short
of meeting the full demands of the
public because of the restrictions
which have now been eliminated.
Postmaster General Burleson and
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery have been tireless in their ef-!
forts to secure a modification of ‘the.
limitations and the new liberalizing |
legislation in particularly gratifying =

ENO B. WELBOURN is reg .rded as the leading scientific lecturer in the country. He brings to
the Chautauqua platform some of the wonders of scientific experiment and presents them enter-
tainingly and clearly to Chautauqua audiences. He boils water with a cake of ice. He uses shingle nails
as kindling wood and makes « heat that registers 6000 degrees. F. in three seconds. He makes the ther-
mometer sink to 46 degrees below zero in ten seconds. He propels a motor with the sound of a flute. And
he does a score of things before his audience in these scientific experiments that seem far out beyond the range of
possibility. “Modern Miracles” is the subject of his “week-day lecture. His Sunday address he styles, “A Sermon
In Science.” Mr. Welbourn was over one of the Lincoln Chautauqua circuits a year ago and has lectured at some
of the oldest and largest Chautauquas in America. He will appear on the Chautauqus here on the third day at
