Just as often it has been argued that immigrants com ing to this country found their golden dreams rudely and quickly shattered, that the fierce struggle of competition and the increased cost of living made their condition, after all, lit tle better than it was at home But when the big.steamship Oceanic sailed from New York s a land flowing with milk and @ few days ago she carried 85,107 money orders, which trans mitted by that one ship on that single voyage $1,192,4: Almost all of it was me home by them for banking or for gifts. More than 12,000 orders went to Germany, 2,000 to Nor way, over 8,000 to Italy, 4,500 to Russia, nearly 4,000 to Austri 2,500 to Hungary, and more than 40,000 to Great Britain Not less significant is the total record for the past two weeks, during which time 11 transatlantic steamships have car- ried 3197: 3. This fs an increase over the same period in 1906 of more than 66,000 money orders and of more than $1,000,000 in money. There gan be no more striking proof of what America has to offer to the thrifty and industrious alien. ee ONE OF OLDEST MEMBERS OF THE “SMILE CLUB” foreign money orders, representing $5,366 “HINTS FOR SHOPPERS nice hunk of ad & neat card BY R.
