OUR THRIFTLEss NATION

Self-denial is a fundamental vir-
tue. especially for all who have their
own way to make in the world; happi-
ness for the great majority of peo-
pie depends on the wholesome re-
straint of desires rather than on their
qualification, because, when I'M
checked, those desires ire forever
stretching out beyond present reach.
1t seems strange that, especially in
our country. people shrink from say
ing II can't afford it." when econ
omy means safety and contentment,
whereas false pride brings danger
and unhappiness. Fear of being
thought poor or stingy has brought
misery, and often crime, into many a
household.
The average wages, salaries and
incomes are higher in this country
than in any other, yet u savings
banks do not make acreditable show
ing. Fourteen countries greatly out
rank ours in the proportion of saw
ings accounts to population. In thrift,
as indicated by the savings banks,
we stand at the bottom of the list of
the principal nations.
Of every hundred of our citizens
sixty-six leave at their death no es-
tate at all. Only nine leave as much
as $4,000. The average estate left
by the other twenty-five is less than
$500. Ninety-seven out of every
hundred lose their earning power at
the age of s~ixty-fve; and as most of
them have saved nothing. they be-
come dependent on relatives or on
the public. 1t is estimated that
there are one and one-fourth millions
of such destitute persons in this
country, most of whom might have
escaped that sad fate.-Judge Har-
mon of Ohio in The Youths ompan-
ion.

Fairgrounds in Parks.

That. city could well boast of being
nearly ideal for residential purposes
could 1t be said that 1t provided a we'll
equipped playground within easy reach
Of every home, says playground ex-
pert. Primarily and fundamentally
the writer believes in complete sepa-
ration of park and playground, but this
is impossible in any city called to
mind, through lack of suitable area for
play and this is more to be desired
than parks for mere breathing space.
The only reasonable solution then is
to have some equipment and convent
ences for play in every park unless
close by an official playground. Yet the
history of small parks where special
provision for juveniles has been made
plainly show that 1t has usually
brought spoliation and general untidi-
ness impossible to overcome except
when confined to well-defined areas
within protection Of hedge, fence or
wall. And this should be provided In
the original plan of every park, or
later the park design will have to I'M
dergo changes to admit Of this very
necessary provision for childhood's
happy play.

NEGROES WIN HONORS
SomaIls Get 264 Citations for
Bravery in Battle.
Proud Tribesmen Prove Efficient
Fighters, But Never Resort
to Savagery.

French Point.-Two hundred and
sixty-four personal citations for BRAY
cry have been won by the negro sol
diers of a single Somalis battalion
since 1t landed in France in June, 1916.
OF these citations 100 were gained in
the fierce battles of the Aisne and the
remainder about Verdun.
The Sumalis, many of whom were
recruited ia British Somaliland, are
independent and find the discipline of
an organized army severe. Their
French officers, however, are accus-
toned to deal with these freedom low
ing tribesmen, and by appealing to
their pride of race and their self-re-
spect' obtain their devoted obedience
to such an extent that they rapidly
become excellent soldiers. These men
learn to handle modern infantry weap-
ons quickly and furnish many special
lists In the grenade throwing, rifle and
machine gun sections of French regi-
ments, for the men are of high intellf-
gence and are full of natural initiative

of fighting-while at hand grenade
throwing they are second to none.
Meticulously clean of habit, the So
malls, who are strict Mahometans,
never touch alcohol. In fact, they look
on any man given to intoXication with
the greatest disdain. They are self
| sacrificing to a degree, as was evil
denced during their attack on La b.
velle, when they had to clear out the
shelters in a trench which they had
| just captured, and which were still
| full of Germans who had taken refuge
there. One of their European SER
geants was about to enter a dugout
known to be full Of armed enemies,
when he was pushed aside by So
malls private with the exclamation,
''Let me go first You are married"
A widely prevalent fallacy has
charged the negroes with savagery
against their captives. Their officers
say this charge has been disproved
time and again after fights at Verdun,
in Champagne and north of the Aisne.

TOLD TO ELoPE BY SPIRITS
Then Girls Companion Pleads Guilty
Under Mann Act at Frank

Wizard to violating the Mann act by
bringing sixteen-year-old Bessie Lu.
ellie Smith of Toledo, Ohio, to Frank
fort, where they have been living since
October 3.
According to the girls story she met

has his Office. Dale became the GO
between for written questions and an
swers passing between the girl and a
trance medium, whom she never saw
and who was supposed to live at 2016
Putnam street, the home of Dale's
mother.
One Of these communications from
the medium conveyed the information
to the girl that she was in love with
Dale, who would marry her. Then
Dale asked her to run away with him.
Dale told her they were married and
showed her certificate.

FOIL PARIS COcHERs
United States Soldiers Prove Not
to Be Easy Marks.
Victimized at FIRST, They Study Regu-
iations and Now Pay Only
Legal Rates.

Paris.-Paris cabmen have not yet
decided whether the American sol.
diers will prove a welcome or an I'm.
welcome addition to their patrons.
When the men from across the sea first
arrived they were all hailed by the
cabmen as millionaires and the tips
they received were in keeping with the
reputation thus bestowed upon them.
But trust the Paris cocher to kill the
goose that lays golden egg.
He practiced his old game Of taking
the most indirect route to reach his
destination and never had any change
when rendered payment. AT night if
no policeman was in sight he always
baked at taking an American uniform
without first extorting a promise to
pay a fixed price for the course,
which was at least twice his legal fare.
The Americans stood this imposition
for time but finally got tired of being
continually bled. Now they give no
more than the French as a tip and as
they become better acquainted with
the city check the willy oabman when
he attempts to take them by round
about routes. They have solved the
night holdup by climbing into the cab
despite the protestations of the cab
men. If it is not later than the hour
fixed for him to quit work he must
take them at the regular fare where
they wish to go or drive to a police
station and justify his refusal.
AS the average cocher wants as little
to do with the police as possible, he
rarely if ever appeals to them.
At one of the ports used by the
Americans for landing troops the cab
men charged the soldiers such exor-
bitant prices that the men went to the
police, obtained copies of the regula-
tons governing the cochers and there
after paid only regular fares, giving
no tips. The cochers retaliated by re-
fusing to take American soldiers as
passengers, and If the men got into a
cab anyhow they stopped dead where
they were and refused to move. 1t
was some days before a compromise
was reached.

'f1Onl[ TOWN
l[LpS
TOWNS IN ENGLAND PLANNED
Garden Cities Show What Can Be Ae-
compIished by Carefully Laying
Out Site Before Building.

In the garden cities of England, such
as Letchworth and Hampstead, the
site Of the town was purchased by a
company and the town was laid out as
whole with reservations for public
and semi-public buildings, parks, play
grounds and civic centers. The loca-
tion.of factories, business houses and
stations was designated and the sites
of the residences were carefully
planned.
The result has been highly gratifying
from every point of view. The con-
venience and comfort of the citizens
have been promoted, high degree
of beauty has been obtained and the
health of the communities has become
far famed.
When these garden cities are COM
pared with the towns that have grown
up without planning the value of town
planning becomes evident. In enc the
needs of community life are recognized
and provided for; in the other the COM
munity is ignored and each individual
is left to follow his own initiative. In
one a high measure of comfort is as
sured the individual by his taking the
proper place in the community; in the
other the individuals clash in their
efforts to promote self-interest, with
result that, the few secure the desired
comforts at the expense and disad-
vantage Of the many.
