PHILADELPHIA. A most interest-
ing machine recently installed In
the United States mint in this city
is the automatic weigher for coins of
all denominations. Last year the gov-
ernment coined nearly 8500000 pieces
of gold and 36000.000 pieces of silver.
Formerly each piece was weighed by
hand. Seated at long tables each
with a balance in frpnt of her were
from 30 to 60 women- "adjusters." It
was their duty to weigh each piece.
Pieces which were- too heavy were re-
duced with a file. Those that. were
:oo light were thrown aside to be put
igain into the melting pot. Gold pieces
were weighed twice once in blank and
mce in coinage.
The new weighing machines have
each ten balances which are set ac-
;ording to the required weight of
he coin which is being tested. Then
hey work automatically each machine
taking ten coins at a time. The move1

EW YORK. More than Jl.000.000
Is lying in the savings banks of
New York city in what banking peo-
ple call 'dormant accounts" that is
j accounts to which nothing has been
added and from which nothing has
;been withdrawn for many years. But
the depositor in each case is liable to
appear any day and demand it. In
fact since tho beginning of the year
five accounts In. the Kmigrants' Sav-
;s batik alone which hud been tin-
touched for from 25 to 30 years sud-
denly became "active" through the
owners who had not been seen nor
heard from in that long period reap-
pearing at th bank. Some of these
dormant accounts are more than 70
yenrs old; none Is less than 22 and
' what to do with such deposits has
been a pnzzle ever since savings banks
iwere first established in that city.
Kansas Women Classifying Merchants

have a classified list of customers.

are classified as class A. Those who
are slow but sure pay get Into class

Now in the Mint
chutes the weighed coin shall drop. If
It is too light the scale beam moves
up and the coin is dropped into the
"Lights." If it is too heavy the scale
beam drops and the coin falls into the
"heavies." If it just balances the coin
drops among the coins which are of
the proper weight. The work is very
rajild and very accurate. There are
eight of these new machines in use
at the mint and they have displaced
34 women who each received two dol-
lars a day.
Another important Improvement at
the mint is the automatic self-feeding
coining presses. The blank coins were
formerly fed in by hand. The new
attachment consists of a hopper at
the bottom of which Is a copper disk
perforated with holes the size of the
coins which are being stamped. When
the. machine is in motion this disk re-
volves slowly - and the blanks drop
through into a stacking tube whence
they are carried by little clutches and
placed under the stamp. Similar ma-
chines are In use in manufacturing es-
tablishments where small articles like
buttons have to be placed under dies
but Uncle Sam never adopted the in-
vention until now.
Under the new plan one man feeds
seven or eight presses with the blank
coins and when the hopper of a ma
chine Is filled it runs itself.

Money at four per cent interest per
annum doubles itself In about IS years
and as four per cent. Is the average
rate paid by the savings banks in New
York it will be seen that the "un-
claimed" money or dormant accounts.
unless checked would pile up enor-
mously In the course of time and be
come such a burden that the banks
might collapse under It. At first the
limit was fixed at 20 years but later
was extended to 22 years.
Most of these sleeping accounts
were originally sums of only $5 or
$10 fag-ends of accounts which once
were active. The owners perhaps had
left these small balances simply to
keep their accounts open and finally
perhaps forgot all about them. But
many of the accounts represent money
deposited by some emigrant who later
probably went west or to some other
secHon of the new country and un-
able to write had never again got in
communication with the bank.
Several of the deposits were made
by men for the benefit of some child
or other person while a number of
others represent the savings of seafar-
ing men who had sailed away and for
some reason never returned.

merchants who skimp on goodB give
short weight and measures who ac-
tually show one article for sale and
substitute another in wrapping will
be put into CUbb D and the women
of the state will be warned to keep
away from them.
Some Kansas merchants have
threatened to apply for an injunction
to prevent the publication of the class-
ification but the women have sent
back word that the merchants "might
get into a lot of trouble right quick"
because of the deadbeat list which they
publish and exchange with each other;
so the proposed injunction suits har
been dropped.
