SECOND APPEARANCE Of
PASQUAlE AAATO
Eminent NeapOiitan Baritone VIII
Sing mt May FestivaI-War Guest
OF Honor at Club.

The fact that Pasquale Amato. the
eminent Neapolitan, baritone will make
his second appearance in Richmond
at the Wednesday Clubs May festl-
val this year, recalls an amusing in
cident that happened when Amato APP
pcared in concert in this city sew
eraI years ago, The great singer was
the guest of honor after the concert
at n dinner given at the Jefferson
Hotel and on the table was giant
cake on which twenty-one candles
were burning, representing the twenty
first anniversary OF club.
When the time came to eXtinsuish
the lighted candles some ono suggested
that this honor be extended Amato.
Knowing the wonderful breath capac-
ity Of the singer another guest sug-
gested that Amato blow out all the
candles at one time. The great bari
tone took n deep breath and with APP
parent ease blew out the whole TWEEN
ty-one candles with a single effort
Amato is easily one OF the greatest
attra ctions of the May factival and
he will certainly be given an ovation
when he makes his second appear
ance here i'm May. In reference to
the remarkable breath capacity of the
noted baritone, Amato tells the fol-
lowing humorous incident on himself.
1T happened when Amato was a
student at the conservatory in Naples.
and even al that time he possessed
u phenomenal breath control. The
young singer was working on some
exercises of long sustained tones. and
in the same house where he lived a
pianist also had a room. Amato's
practicinR used to annoy the highly
strung pianist, and on the particular
afternoon when the future opera star
WAS testing his lungs 10 the utmost,
the pianist stepped into the han and
shouted:
Say you long-winded Pasauale. YOU
have been holding that note for If
teen minutes; If you don't let go of 1t
pretty soon III go insane
80 | told him" says Amato. Ito
move into another house II he could
not stand my singing"
Naturally both youths having the
excitablo Latin temperament there was
long hot argument and at last the
pianist turned down the stairs and
called over his shoulder:
ut is just as l thought, what is
the use OF arguing with a man whose
breath never gives OUT"
Not only does Amato's breath not
give out. but his good humor seldom
does either and he always refers to
this encounter with a hearty laugh.

"Live within your income Is tn
keynote of the great nation wide thrift
movement, and be not so wasteful.
The strength of Rome lay not in the
time when Romans were e~xtravagant-
" spending their millions In feasts and
games; when people were locking from
the country to the city; when Romans
were too lazy even to play their W
games, but hired gladiators no only to
play, but to die, for their amusement;
1t lay not In the time when the young
Roman milliOnaires spent their time at
the baths and in feeding on nightfn-
gales tongues and on oysters brought
In wet moss from the shores of Brit
ain; when $4,000 was paid for roses
at O feast, and when her citizen SOL
diery was replaced by hirelings, but
In the time when the Roman farm
er was its citizen and statesman and
depended not upon the hired others,
but upon himself, for performing the
duties Of the family and the state.
The entire world at the beginning of
the present war started to save money.
1t is a curious fact hat such a destruc-
tive process as war sometimes Is a
benefit to q nation. 1t increases the to-
tai efficiency, and it increases the total
saving. Let America be not too free
to cast criticisms upon III foreign
warning sister nations. 1t may be that
the increased thrift and the increased
efficiency and the increased strength
Of character brought about by this
great crisis, SO affecting the nations of
Europe, will do for them as they did
for us in our civil war-produce char
acteristics and produce men and wom-
en- that In the years following the war
may offset the enormous waste and
destruction brought about by it.
No amount of wealth will replace
character. Wealth will never take the
place of personal righteousness, but
tho characteristics of thrift and econ
Omy will do more than anything else
to bring back the type of American
that made New England, and that

purpose of receiving a small savings
Of school children and encouraging the
habit Of systematic accumulations.
There is no greater field for the fncul-
cation Of habits of thrift In the minds
Of the people than these banks. The
Jesuit Fathers used to say, "Give me
the child until he is seven years old,
then you can have him" If the child
is taught In this practical way to save
his money systematically there Is no
doubt that he will acquire valuable
habits of living; he will become a bet
ter manager Of his private affairs; he
will be more economical and he will
have greater foresight. Just recently
one hundred and e~ighty-two school
banks were organized in Detroit In
the campaign In New York City they
are aiming to establish one hundred
new school banks by the first Of May.
Through the New York Mail" an at
tempt is being made to raise fifty thou
sand dimes for the school children;
that is, a dime will be given to each
child as soon as he accumulates his
first ninety cents In the ley banks.
Under the system known as the
brooklyn Plan originated by A. N.
Clark, who is the chairman of the Cen
tennial Committee for the Extension
Of School Savings in New York City,
the children operate the bank them
selves under the supervision of one Of
the teachers who is also the treasurer
Of the bank. Each child In the eighth
year class takes his turn at filing vari-
GUS positions In the bank from messen-
ger to President They have a Board
Of Directors composed Of twenty-four
children, who meet regularly and dis
cuss the affairs of the bank. At the
end Of the school year and when these
eighth year pupils graduate, In add
ton to the diploma Of graduation they
are given a certificate showing that
they have filed the various positions
In the school bank. The pupils use
these certificates as recommendations
to secure positions.
There Is no doubt that this thrift
campaign will create a new interest In
thrift, a new understanding of the sub
ject. There will not be as much ex-
travagance and waste. The people will
live within their incomes and not mort
gage everything they own.

BIG MEN ENLISTED
IN THRIFT CAMPAIGN
More Than One Hundred Cities
Already Interested.

The American Bankers Association,
which has a membership of more than
fifteen thousand banks In the United
States, is conducting a great nation
wide campaign of education to pro-
mote thrift. Preachers and educators,
business men and bankers, social
workers and employees of labor are
combining their efforts, supporting the
work Of advocating the cause Of this
important campaign carried on by a
mighty association.
At the present time more than n
hundred cities are, locally, conducting
this thrift campaign. The work has
been thoroughly organized by the
American Bankers Association. Com
mittees composed Of bankers, educa-
tors. social workers, etc., have been
formed in each one of these cities, and
the campaign is being conducted IN
der their direction.
Some Of the foremost men of the
country are members Of a national
commission which heads this CAM
paign. Among them are:
VIM. Howard Taft, Gov. Charles s.
Whitman of New York, John N. Will
lys of Toledo. O.; James K. Lynch,
President Of the A. B. A.; T. M. Dod-
son Of Bethlehem, Pa; Frank Trum-

THIS COUNTRY SOON
MUST FINANCE ITSELF
People Should Realize Thrift
at Home Is Necessary.

One hundred years ago the first saw
ings bank In the United States was es-
tablished. The advent of this institu-
ton came with the era of commercial
and industrial expansion. 1t came
when the population of the United
States was only 9,500,OOO, and there
were but 246 banks in the country. By
1920 ten of these savings banks had
been established with $685. depositors
and aggregate deposits of $1,13S,576.
Prosperity came, the people saved
and the deposits in these great reser-
voirs of capital, which now number
2,1O0, by leaps and bounds increased to
enormous proportions. To-day, with
our national wealth approximating
$1S7, O00,000,0OO and almost one hun
dred millions of people In the country,
we lave about 81, 700,000.000 in the
savings banks belonging to ten and a
half million depositors. This may
seem an amazing sum Of capital and
number of depositors, but when a COM
parison is made with other countries
and a balance Is struck it is found the
United States Is near the end Of the
list In the percentage of saver to pop
ulation.
The possibilities for the greater pro-
motion Of habits of thrift and saving
among people are indeed extraor-
binary. With remarkable oppOrtuni-
ties In the United States for increas-
ing foreign trade; with bumper crops
in every section of the country; with
gold pouring into the Golfers Of the
banks; with every appearance OF I'M
precedented future prosperity, the fact
is apt to be disregarded that the other
great commercial nations of the world
are involved in a war of frightful de-
struction and economic waste; that aft
er the war these nations will need
funds for reconstruction and the Unit
ed States will be called upon to sup
ply them; that for some time to come
this country will not be able to secure
capital, as in the past, from France
and Great Britain, for the purpose OF
carrying on new enterprises. The
United States must finance itself.
M lear uttu DC ndo " bhC AhhC
date future. but 1t Is inevitable that
the time is coming when this country
must meet the test of financing prac-
tically the entire world. Preparations
are being made for defense In the
event of war; preparations should also
be made for peace. Adequate credit
machinery can be developed and per-
fected, but it will ~assuredly require a
sufficient amount Of capital to main
tain properly and keep in good running
condition this credit machinery.
How is this capital going to be So
cured? Through education; by calling
the attention of the people to the lack
of thrift in the country, and the bene-
fetal results of practicing thrift;
through a systematic nationwide cam
paign to promote thrift and saving. 1t
surely is to the interest of all citizens,
whether banker or business man. edf-
tor or professional man. employer or
employee, to he a party to such a move
ment.
This is the object of the nationwide
campaign instituted the first of the
year by the American Bankers Asso
citation.

TEACHING BOYS TO SAVE.
