happy."-W. s. Parker.
Julius Rosenwald. Chicago millionaire
philanthrOpist. and head Of Sears, Roe
buck & CO.. In q recent newspaper in
terview, said TINT lack Of thrift Is our
chief national sin. and he said 1t even
after the European war had been in
progress several months and the need
for common sense thrift in ,his country
had become more imperative than ever
His words were:
Americans are the most reckless
sDcnhcrs in the void. The average
man i'm this country is spending every
dollar he makes, and maybe more, The
man who follows this policy is facing
poverty every day. TIE chief extrava-
gances in this country arc motor cars
dress, home and other means for mak-
ing q show"
Mr.. Rosenwald was asked to define
thrift" and replied: IL don't know
what Webster calls it, hut ] would say
that thrifty man is one who spends
less than lie earns"
There was once an ago In America
when the people knew something about
economy and when waste was re-
garded as sin. The women who
turned the spinningwhecl knew about
saving, and used 10 teach their chill
dren the little prOverb about "WiIful
waste Is woeful want" Poor Richard
Almanac" which was ono Of the OriGi-
nal best sellers Of the United States,
was the work Of man who UNDER
stood compound interest from the
point of Wow OF tho saver.
Is ii too much TO hope that that tlmc
will come again? Is 10 not more than
probable that the cNigcncics of the
present. great CONFUSION involving half
the world may compel us TO choose
the straight and narrow path Of ccono-

travagance, which az surely leads to
destruction of individual comfort and
efficiency as to tho downfall OF national
prospcrity?-T. u. MacGrcgor.
