To Teach Thrift
In Public School

Portland Telegram: For the pur-
pose of promoting thrift among the
young of this city, the American
Bankers Association and the Oregon
State Bankers Association, through
a local committee consisting of Wal
ter A. Holt, Roy H. N. Nelson and
T. H. West, have formulated a plan
for establishing a system Of savings
banks in the Portland public schools
which they presented yesterday to
the school board Believing that the
scheme is worthy of consideration,
the board on motion of Director
Drake referred the matter to the
finance committee for investigation
and recommendation
Such school savings banks have
been established in several large
eastern cities, and the plan outlined
to the local school board is patterned
after the plan in effect in New York
city. A bank is established in each
school with a teacher in charge, and
with eight boys from IL to Is years
old as assistants. Deposits of .
cents or multiples thereof are per-
mitted. When the deposits of any
child reach So this amount is placed
on deposit in one of the savings
banks of the city. No child can
withdraw the whole or part of de-
post without the consent of its par
ents.
In outlining the plan the commit
tee said that such a banking system
would be beneficial to the boys and
girls. as it develops their individu-
ality and self-respect, causing them
to consider the earning value of
money and to understand it as
comfort factor and power for good.
They argued the saving of pennies
as an incentive to honesty and gen.
erosity. The boys and girls, said
they. learn that only by owning will
they have power to expend and dis
tribute.

Men Say Malet
Engine Failure

According to some Of the engine
men running into Ashland, the Nal
let engine, which was brought up
from the Sparks division and put on
the run between Gerber and Weed,
is not giving the service anticipated.
According to reports, the engine is
spending a great deal of its time in
the Dunsmuir shops or rather out
in the yards near the shops. When
it does make a run, it is much slower
than the old type, say the men.
"An army of wipers, mechanics
and boilermen attack her every time
she gets to a terminal" said one rail-
roader. The other side of the ques-
tion-the company's-has not been
made public, of course. The COM
pany has officials on the big engine
on nearly every run and are keeping
careful records and checking up care
fully on its performances.
The engine is too long to turn
around on the turntables and is
therefore turned at Weed and Gerber
where there are "Y" switches. The
big engine takes the place of two OF
the 5000 type, the largest now in
use and of course replaces one en-
CINE crew which may account fol-
some of the poor reports which the
railroaders pass out about it.
The Mallet type cannot be used
over the Siskiyou mountains between
Hornbrook and Ashland because of
the curved tunnel.

petition in the near future to that
effect.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Gowland and
son Richard returned home Satur-

fornia points. Richard entered

C. A. Brown is moving hay for

Mrs. Murray has just returned
from a weeks visit with friends in
Medford.
Mrs. Marvin Hibbs and children
of Dunsmuir, Cal, are visiting her
mother, Mrs. King.
]. B. Hunter, C. A. Brown and
some friends in Ashland contem-
plate a trip to the Josephine caves
in the near future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews and daugh-
ter have just returned from an out
ing in the mountains.
Mrs. Gray and Marshall were
shopping in Ashland Tuesday.
Mr.. Sam King and family former
residents of this community, have
lust returned home from three
years residence in klamath Falls
We are glad to welcome them.
There's no place like Belleview.
Mr.. York is hauling wood into
Ashland.
Mrs. Yaster of Siskiyou is visiting

tered school this year. S. Abbott
will also enter the SSO-yard dash.
D. Lowe will compete in the broad
jump and shot-put. Several cups
and medals are the prizes offered in
this meet.
The West Side school has installed
cafeteria lunch for the pupils.
This lunch is prepared by the do
mestic science class and is served
in the cafeteria style, the sewing
rooms being fitted up with tables
where the luncheon may be eaten.
The class is divided up so that every
member gets chance at the various
duties. The menu, which is changed
from day to day, consists of soup,
salad, hot chocolate and sandwiches.
Ten cents is the price charged for
this simple though sufficient lunch.
The aim Is that the lunches will just
pay the cost of the venture. A bowl
of soup or a cup of hot chocolate
can be purchased for 2 cents and the
other articles can be obtained ac-
cordingly by those who wish to bring
their lunch and get something hot
to eat with it. This does away with
the cold lunch proposition met with
by pupils from the East side. II
the venture proves a success it will
be installed in the high school.
Lovers Of the address and re-
search are talking up debate, and a
meeting was held in the office We'd
nesday by the debaters. An instruct
or has not yet been decided upon.
