"We got money over the counter In every Imaginable condition," ho remarkod. "Most of tho tlrao notes nro handed to us In n dirty, crumpled state that makes difficult handling, but there Is ono depositor who always brings bills In an Immaculnto condition. This Is an old German woman. Tho bank notes sho hands In are as crisp as If they had Just left tho treasury. It used to puzzlo me to account for tho crlspncss of tho old notes she brought along notes that by appearance had been In uso long enough to make them as limp as rags. So ono day I romarked about It, and found, to my surprise, that the old lady carefully Ironed all her bank notes. SLo explained ex-plained that sho liked to liavo now money, and pressing with a hot Iron mado all tho old bills llko now. I thought her fad Bomowhat focllsh at first, but later It occurred to mo that It would be a good thing If people evcrywhero Ironed their bank notes It would kill any germs."
