POSTAL Hit;
HI PROSPECT
Senate Committee Will Report
Bill For Enactment in a
Short Time.
MAY PASS AT THIS SESSION
Kvcry Money Order I'ostolllcc to Have
Savings Hank Paying Two l'cr
Cent Interest.
WASHINGTON, March 20. After
several weeks' consideration, a postal
savings bank bill lias been drafted
for presentation by the senate com
mittee on postofTlcos and posf-oads
next week. Tho subcommittee up
pointed to decide upon the measur3
has held Us final meetings, Postmas
ter General Meyer participating in an
advisory capacity. The measure de
elded upon is a composite of tho b'lls
introduced by Senator Carter of Mon
tana, chairman of the sub-commit toe,
by Senator Burkett of Nebraska and
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. The
Knox bill was introduced by request,
and was known as tho Meyer meas
ure, having been drawn under the di
rection of the postmaster general.
Opinion is overwhelming that the
senate will pass the postal savings
bank bill, and in plenty of time to
give the house time to act before ad
journment of tho present session, If
the leaders are willing to take it up.
At any rate, the senate will do Its
part, and the popular branch of con
gress will bo responsible for non
action. Hanks at Money Order Ofllccs.
Under the provisions of tho bill
agreed upon, a system of 'postal sav
ings banks is established by law, as
proposed in the original Carter meas
ure, Instead of merely authorizing
tho postmaster general to establish
the system. The system, however, is
to be under the direction of the post
master general. Every money order
office of the presidential class is to be
a postal bank from the start, and the
postmaster general is authorized to
extend the system to other money or
der offices as fast as practicable. It
Is provided that accounts may be
opened 'and deposits 'made by any
person ten years of age and upward.
No person may have more than one
account. Corporations are barred
from opening accounts, tho design
being to encourage individual savings
and nothing more.
Limit Deposits and Interest.
Initial deposit of an account must
be to tho amount of $1, but addl
-"!
tional deposits of ten cents or multl
pies thereof are to bo allowed. In
terest rato of two per cent per an
num on deposits is allowed. No in
terest Is to be allowed on deposits In
excess of $500 mado in any one year,
and at no time is Interest to be paid
on a deposit of more than $1,000.
The depositor after the first year may
draw interest, in other words, on a
total of $1,000, but for no greater
amount, regardless of tho time in
which tho deposits accumulate. Two
hundred dollars is fixed as tho maxi
mum amount of money a person may
deposit in any one month. It is pro
vided that withdrawals shall bo made
in even dollars, except In settling up
accpunts.
National banks are prohibited
from cpllecting exchange on any sav
ings bank remittances. There is a
section which also provides that all
postal savings are to be regorded as
public moneys, subject to the safe
guards and preferences provided by
statute therefor. They are to be ex
empt from seizure or attachment,
and from taxation. The amount of
a deposit cannot be disclosed by any
official except by order of the post
master general.
.NAVIGATORS AT BANDON.
Xeys of Shipping There as Told By
The Recorder.
Tho new tug which is to be built
for replacing the Triumph in service
on the lower Coqulllo and bar will
bo built at either the Price or Heuck
endorff shipyards. Local business
men aro subscribing liberally for
stock in tho boat, but whatever is
not locally taken will bo subscribed
for by tho Doe Estate, owners of tho
Triumph. So it is apparent that a
new and up-to-dato tug boat suited
to tnis bar Is assured. The Ooa es
tate, of which J. L. Kronenberg is
manager,- will sell tho Triumph to
San Francisco parties, it is said.

Interpreting a Prescription.
A lady one day in July visited her
phyBician.
"Madam," said the physician, "you
are only a little run down. You need
frequent baths and plenty of fresh air,
nnd I advise you to dress in tho cool
est, most comfortable clothes nothing
stiff or formal."
When she got home her husband
asked what the physician had said.
"lie said I must go to the seashore,
do plenty of automoblllngand get some
new summer gowns."
THE PENALTY.
Pleasure has bounds. Too greedily pur
sued Enjojment ceases and disgust ensues.
Thus, at first glance, some recent paint

The verdant landscape smiles in all its
brightest hues,
But stand and gaze awhile, and by de
grees '
Tho eyo grows tired, tho colors cease to
please;
Its beauties vanish, and its faults arise;
You think of other times and criticise.
