BIG CONCERNS WATCH
WASTE OF MATERIAL.
Get Full Value Out of Labor Another
Problem,

Your job depends upon two things:
First, the proftableness of the bust
ness; and second, your efficiency. If
the business is not remunerative it
cannot long exist, and the inefficient
workman is o. eliminated by the
processes of competition and supervi-
sion.
The principal cost in all business is
the labor and material cost, and the
problem of business is to get full value
out of labor and cut out all waste
Of material. The thriftless workman
can waste as much as he produces, and
do it so unconscfously that it may not
be detected without expensive check
ing. A ifty-nine-cent article can be
wrapped so extensively that the profit
disappears. Paper and Irvine is often
used so thriftlessly by department
store employees that when delivery is
made the profit is cut in two. These
are the little leaks that waterlog the
business ship. The employee must real
ize the fact that he is one of a great
number and If he allows little wastes
In material, or soldiers Just a few
minutes each day, in the aggregate the
loss is enormous.
A few years ago there was a wreck
On a western railroad that cost the
company $250.O00. The president sent
word down the line that as a special
favor to him he wanted each man in
the company's employ to endeavor to
a v five cents worth Of material a
day. or do five cents worth of work
more a day than heretofore, and the
loss would be made good in a year.
The problem of all big concerns is to
get the men in this frame of mind con-
stantly-no lettering on the job and no
waste in the job.
Big concerns everywhere are giving
much thought to the elimination of the
waste and utilization of all the by-
products. Chicago is famous for using
all the pig but the squeal. The Penn
sylvania Railroad requires that every
bolt and nut that can be retapped be
used. You viii find no waste iron
around their yards. Even the cotton
waste used In wiping engines is clean
ed and used for packing journals. In
the South the stumps Of yellow pine.
heretofore q nuisance and an encum-
brance to the land, are now turned into
resin, turpentine and other by-prod.

LAUNCH NATION WIDE
SAVINGS CAMPAIGN.
Waste Of Money Means Wasts Of HUI
man Energy.

One hundred years ago there was no
bank that encouraged the thrifty house,
wife who wanted some safer place for
small sums than the top bureau draw
er or an old sugar bowl, to deposit her
little hoard and draw interest on 1t un-
til she vas ready to use 1t.
But In 1916 the first Savings Bank in
the United States was started. and
during 1916 the American Bankers As
ISOLATION will conduct a national Thrift
Campaign through it's Savings Bank
Section.
Savings banks now number their wo-
men depositors by the thousand, but
there are still many opportunities for
thrift which women must be c
aged to use if the United States is to
be the thriftiest instead of, the most
prodigal nation in the world. For ma
tional thrift has its basis in home
thrift and waste of money In home
management ear waste Of the hui
man energy it takes to earn money.
So the bankers are urging the estab-
lishment Of school savings banks for
teaching girls, as well as boys, how to
save their pennies and how to spend
them wisely. They are urging parents
to give their girls regular allowances
and teach them how to keep simple ac-
counts. To the Y. w. C. A. in its we'll
planned movement for thrift among
girls and business women, the bankers
are supplying speakers and helping
with the distribution Of the excellent
personal account books which the As
ISOLATION has prepared. They are also
cooperating with the National House
wives League, domestic science teach.
erS, women's clubs and other agencies
that have as their object the teaching
OF home economics, REORGANIZATION
and development.
For thrift does not mean simply the
saving Of money. Genuine Home
thrift means managing the home SO
well that none Of the Father-energy it
takes to earn money, or none of the
Mother-energy it takes to spend it, is
wasted by foolish purchases, e~xtrava-
CANT housekeeping or niggardly econ
omy. 1t is not the thrifty h~ousekeeper
who scrimps on the table, wears
frumpy clothes or goes without whole
some pleasures for the mere sake of
having a bank account. Real thrift
should mean better-balanced and there
fore more nourishing meals, the buying
OF better clothes because they last
longer. and INVESTING in lohar-cou;nr
devices which leave the homemaker
free for rest and recreation with her
FAMILY. But in order to achieve these
ends the ~housekeeper must learn how
to take care of her savings, even the
smallest ones, by business methods.
how to balance her household budget,
how to pay her bills by checks. and
how to manage her bank account to
the best advantage.

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
Let's Make Our Town Attractive,
Sanitary and Safe.
An editorial by BRUCE BARTON
in Every Week."

HAVE in mind two towns. Enter.
ing one, the railroad runs between
! two rows of dirty back yards filled
with tin cans and rubbish. Entering
the other, it passes houses neatly
painted, back yards with flowers in
them, and streets swept, clean.
These two towns had the same pop
ulation five years ago.. utNrecently
two new factories have moved to one
of them; real estate values have adj
yanced; new houses are being built;
everybody is prosperous and happy.
And the residents of the other town
cannot understand their bad luck"
A real Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign would have taken the bad
luck" town out of it's rut.
This year more than 5000 cities
and towns in the United States are
conducting "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaigns.
Many men and women go through
life without ever doing anything for
their community. Clean Up and
Paint Up" offers you your chance.
The greatest miracles of modern
times have been performed with bon
fires, drain pipes, soap and paint.
The Philippines have been made a
healthier place to live in than the
average American town. Typhoid has
been stamped out of Serbia. The
Panama Canal zone has been trans
formed from a dismal unhealthy
swamp to a wholesome place for
homes.
Last year Cleveland, in it's Clean
Up and Paint Up campaign, disposed
of refuse sufficient to fill a train three
and one-half miles long.
Another middle western town gath
cred its boys together, and, by offer
ing a reward for each 100 tin cans,
abolished its unsightly back yards
in a single day.
There is no better test of the civil
lization of a community than this:
How much paint does it user
A wise man said that.
1t is not given to you to found g
religion or make a great Invention or
/. discover a new continent.
But you can make your town a
cleaner, better place to live in. And
by SO doing you give a little push to
the chariot of civilization.

Liberty and Justice
This Country's Ideals

IL have said that this goyernnens
lost the moral forces OF the world by
not truly interpreting the spirit Of the
American democracy.
"The American democracy stands Tor
something more than beef and cotton
and grain and manufactures; stands .or
something that cannot be measured by
rates of exchange and does not rise
or fall with the balance OF trade.
"The American people achieved iio-
erty and schooled themselves to the
service of justice before they acquired
wealth, and they value their country's
liberty and justice above oil their
pride Of possessions. Beneath their
comfortable optimism and apparent in
difference they have conception OF
their great republic as brave and
strong and noble to hand down to their
children the blessings Of freedom and
just and equal laws. They have EN-
bodied their principles OF government
in hxed rules of right conduct which
they jealousy preserve, and. with the
instinc. of individual freedom, they
stand for q government OF laws and
not Of men. They deem that tho
moral laws which formulate the duties
of men toward each other are binding
upon nations equally with individuals.
Liberty and Justice.
Uniformed BY their own experience,
confirmed by their observation Of in
ternational life. they have come to see
that the independence Of nations, the
liberty Of their peoples, justice and
humanity cannot be maintained upon
the complaisance, the good nature. the
kindly feeling, Of the strong toward
tho weak; that real independence, real
liberty, cannot rest upon sufferance;
that peace and liberty can be preserved
only by the authority and observance
cf rules Of national conduct founded
upon the principles Of justice and hu-
mRnity; only by the establishment OF
law among nations responsive to the
enlightened public opinion Of mankind.
ITO them liberty means not liberty
for themselves alone, but for all who
ate oppressed. Justice means not JUS
ticc for themselves alone, but shield
Tor all who are weak against the ag-
gresson Of the strong. When their
deeper natures are stirred they have a
spiritual vision In which the spread
end perfection Of free self-government
shall rescue the humble who toll and
endure from the hideous wrongs in
ficted upon them By ambition and lust
foI power, and they cherish in their
heart Of hearts an ideal OF their coun-
try loyal TO the mission OF liberty for
the lifting up Of the oppressed and
bringing in the rule OF righteousness
and peace.

President Wilson Blamed
for Chaos in Mexico

"Tne United States had rights and
duties i'm Mexico. More than forty
thousand of our citizens had sought
their fortunes and made their homes
there A thousand millions Of Amcri-
can capital had been invested IN that
rich and productive country, and mill

were annually returned TO the United
States not merely for the benefit OF the
investors, but for the enrichment OF our
whole country and all its production
and enterprise But revolution had
come. and factional warfare was rife.
Americans had been murdered. Arneri-
can property had been wantonly de-
stroyed, the lives ard property of all
Americans in Mexico were in danger.
That was the situation when Mr. Will

Carranza and a group Of independent
chieftains were endeavorlng 10 pull
down the power of Huerts.
President Wilson took sides with
them IN pulling down that power. In
August, 1918, through Dir. John Lind,
he presented TO Huerta a communica-

that Huerta should retire permanently

u. S. Shocked by Fate
Of UnOffending Belgium

TO this people the invasion OF BEL
GUM brought shock OF amGzement
and horror. The people of Belgium
were peaceable, Industrious, law-abid-
ing, self-governing and free. They had
no quarrel with any one on earth. They
were attacked by overwhelming mill
tary power; their country was devas-
tated by fire and sword; they were
slain by tens OF thousands: their in
dependence was destroyed and their
liberty was subjected 10 the rule OF
al invader for no other cause than
that they defended their admitted
rights. There was no question of fact;
there was no question Of law, there
was not plausible pretence of any
other cause.
The admitted rights of Belgium
stood in the way of mightier nations
purpose; and Belgium was crushed.
When the true nature of these events
was realized the people Of the United
States did not hesitate III their feeling
or in their judgment. Deepest SYM

stern condemnation Of the invader
were practically universal Wherever
there was respect for law it reyolted
against the wrong done TO Belgium.
