Thrift In Relation to the Home"
She said IN part:
I'VE women want definite systema-
tic training in the control Of money.
There are rs million families today in
the United States. Among them nine
billion dollars are spent annually by
their women. They buy as per cent
OF all the merchandise used in the
household and have the buying Of %
per cen more, They control n per
cent OF all money spent for household
necessities"
Women Largely Responsible.
Miss Ravenhili accused American
OF being largely responsible
for lack OF thrift.
The county superintendent Of
schools OF Wasco county. Oregon, c. +.
Bonney. told Of the thrift known in
schools through the establishment
OF a savings bank system. Five hun
dred children. or about 25 per cent Of
the school children OF the county
have opened accounts which total al
most twenty-five hundred dollars. The
THRIFT movement has extended to the
farthest corner OF the county through
tho establishment OF this system and
also through a series OF lessons on
thrift which are taught each week to
every child In the county.
Group II. OF the Bankers associa-
ton In is resolutions endorsed the es-
Of school savings banks
and recommended the adoption OF a
system OF simple accounting

a definite program for the promotion
Of thrift by the state bankers assoc

WELCOMED! A NEW FISH! 4
Washington, March 2O.-Another
member Of the fish family wishes to
be Introduced into good society. His
name is Sable Fish, but for years he
has been travelling under the disrep-
utable alias Of Black Cod. He does
not belong to the Goldfish aristocracy,
but is vOuched for in the highest
terms by the Bureau of Fisheries, as
entitled to move on to the tables of
the best people in the land. AS the
Bureaus bulletin puts it: ''the de-
mocracy Of hight prices has upset
the old eXclUsiVeness and has given
to previous unknown or obscure
fishes an opportunity to be pushed
to the fore and to demonstrate that
they are. entitled to regard at least
equal to that accorded to those of
longer standing in the community.
The tiled fish has established an
assured position and the gray fish is
living down the reputation which it
acquired as a pirate, and is acquir-
ing responsibility as a fish whose ac-
quaintance is worth cultivating." The
Bureau says the Black Cod or Sable
Fish is not really cod at all and Its
flesh is firm, white and faky with a
full rich flavor" etc., enough to make
ones mouth water.

LOCAL RAILROAD MEN PLEASED
WITH STRIKE SETTLEMENT

WITH STRIKE Sc LEMENl
Brotherhood chairmen, in session
here, early today received code mes
sages from New York informing
them that the railroad strike order
has been Cancelled permanently.
They Immediately went into eXecu-
tive session after notifying local
union heads over the western dis
trict of the action of the brotherhood
heads at Washington.
Union men breathed a sigh OF re-
lief when the peace agreement"
was announced. Although practical
ly all would have gone out at the
showdown, brotherhood leaders de-
cIared, without exception all hoped
a strike would not be called.
"The demonstration on Saturday
night, when trainmen in various sec
tons of the country refused to go to
work on newspaper reports Of strike
postponement, convinced railroad
managers of the faIlacy of their
claims that 80 per cent of the men
would remain at work" Timothy

The Sufragists and the Public.

The mock heroiCs of yesterday, cul-
nrinating in the superb piece of meIo-
drama in the hauling down of the
flag from Cameron House, clearly
show that between the zealots of a
progressive cause, and the scatter
brains who make their excesses the
excuse for a lot of maudlin frippery.
public opinion in the end must throw
its support to the former.
Frankly, we think the suffragists
are guilty OF bad taste and worse
in Haunting their KAISER Wilson
banners before the White House; but
inasmuch as the police-apparently
under orders-lack the moral courage
to deal with the Quixotic situation,
they ought at least to be consistent
in sufficient degree 10 protect the
women from the encroachments o.
any would-be patriot who thinks he is
making himself a hero by Offering
physical violence to them.
tAS SdhAdblslS nave the Deller OF
the argument, in our opinion. The
police do not molest them. but any
irresponsible is free to do So There
fore the situation has become quite
impossible. and the shots fired through
the window of Cameron House yes
terday should give ample warning 10
the administration and to everybody
concerned that it is high time either
to forbid the women the White House
picketing or to protect them in it.
There is a great difference Of opinion
as to whether their cause is being
helped any by their tactics, but that
is beside the question. They have
chosen a certain course, and have
made a laughing-stOck and a. menace
of the half-measures adopted to cope
with them.
The militants, like the Pankhurstian
disciples in Britain, believe in provo
cative tactics. We think they are
wrong, but the strong-arm has been
used in American politics long be-
fore they ever resorted to 1t, and used
successfully. At any rate, the suf-
fragists have the courage of their
folly, and are extremely active If
rather ill-advised advocates of their
cause.

part of it with Porto Rico, and the
railroad gained much traffic.
The men of science had revealed.
confidentially a process by means of
which there could be extracted from
the stumps which remained after the
pine forests had been cut down, at low
cost, large amounts OF resin and other
products. This has developed into a
large industry. New York capital was
persuaded that at Brunswick there
was excellent opportunity for profitable
investment in shipbuilding plant and
the original investment has been
within a year doubled. Now, the re-
port comes from Brunswick to leaders
in the financial district which shows
that 1t has already become an i'm
portant shipbuilding center. Within
the past eight months there have been
constructed or completed at 'Bruns-
wick ship yards forty-eight vessels all
of them large enough for ocean SER
vice and probably before the end Of
the year contracts with the United
States Shipping Board will he
executed calling for twenty-five ad-
ditional vessels.
One of the phenomenal achievements
reported from Brunswick was the
building of a schooner christened the
Glynn. which was able to receive a
cargo of resin which was manufactur-
ed by the secret Brunswick process
and whose destination was the war
zone in Europe. So convenient was
the shipyard that the 5000 barrels Of
resin were taken aboard the vessel
as she lay in deep water only few
feet distant from the ways from
which she was launched. This schoon-
er made the trip successfully and
recently delivered at a port in Italy
the 5000 barrels of resin, commodity
of which Italy stood greatly in need.
Other cities upon the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts of the South are certain
to have abundant prosperity and some
of them greatly to increase in pop
ulation, but Newport News. Va, and
Brunswick, Ca, will be able TO write
story of development which con-
tains a narration OF facts stranger
and more interesting than any ro-
nance.

OUR LOYAL PEOPLE.

BY VINTON A. HOLBROOK
God bless our loyal people who
are standing firm today.
For the heavy sacrifices. for the aw-
ful price they pay;
And be IL small or great the task
appointed each to do,
From Maine to California, they are
proving brave and true.
God bless our noble President and
those who frame just laws,
And even bless the man who gives
his cash to aid the cause;
God bless the toiling farmers who
provide US with our food,
God bless the poor and helpless ones
who would help IL they could.
God bless the girl Who gives
sweetheart or brother to the fray,
Recalling all the golden hours she
spent with him in play;
God bless the noble mother who is
brave enough to give
Her son to die that Righteousness
and Liberty may live.
God bless the Boys. who Of us
all must pay the greatest price,
Who make upon the battlefield the
supreme sacrifice,
Who say to home and country, to
their friends and all-"goodby,"
Who take our place there in the rain
Of lAad 70, live or die.

gard to choice of enlistment. He
said:
An erroneous instruction has been
sent by the Navy Department to naval
recruiting stations, to the effect that
persons could voluntarily enlist in
the navy after having been called
BY a local board. The attention of
the Navy Department has been called
to this error and it is being rectified
by telegram. Please inform all local
boards that after a person has been
called by the board he can not vol
unfairly enlist in the military or naval
service and that such voluntary en-
listment will not protect him from
the penalty OF the law for failure
to report to the local board"
The large number of appointments
that are being made to the military
naval service in the way of reservists
and Of newly commissioned personnel
and the absence of the available au-
thoritative list of such officers have
combined TO make 1t comparatively
easy for the fradulently inclined to
impose upon the public. There have
been quite a number of instances of
false representation in this particular,
mainly for the purpose of cashing
worthless checks, beating hotels and
obtaining goods without paying for
them. 1t would be well for the mer-
chants and hotel managers, therefore,
to be on their guard and, as far as
may be. to verify the claims of those
whose identity is not established. A
new and auspicious form of imposture
has been discovered by the naval au-
thorities during the past week, when
it developed that men representing
themselves as agents of the Navy De-
partment and of the shipping board
have been visiting ship owners at
various ports, obtaining permission to
inspect craft and secure information.
This led to the following telegram of
warning for the Secretary of the
Navy.
1. Information has reached the de-
partment that numerous self-styled
agents, brokers and other unau-
thorized persons are interviewing
owners of vessels under the guise of
being representative of the govern
ment.
2. In certain cases owners have
gone to considerable trouble and
expense to allow such persons to
inspect their vessels, hauling fires
to allow the boilers to be examined.
or putting their vessels on the ways
to permit of inspection of the hulls.
3. Commandants will give the
widest publicity to the fact that the
government, in accordance with act
of Congress approved August 30,
1916. will not deal with any but the
regular owners or with their regu-
larly designated agents.

INITIAL step TAKEN
TO AID GRAIN CROPS
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
Will Today Address Planters.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
viii today talk at the first of a
series of meetings of national scope.
designed to increase the area OF
wheat and rye planted in the United
States to more than 10000. 900
acres. Agricultural representatives
from the Atlantic States as far
south as North Carolina, Will be
present.
The production of sufficient
breadstuffs TO meet the nations re-
quirements in time of war is given
as the reason for holding the meet
ings. Special attention will be paid
to the planting of the increased
acreage so that 1t does not inter-
fere with corn and other grain
crops.
That a greatly increased crop is
needed is shown by the latest de-
partment report which states that
the planting of 47.3S7.o00 acres of
wheat and 5.131.0 900 acres OF rye is
positively necessary to carry the
country through the winter of 1913
in view of the added drain that
the allied powers are making on
our resources.
Agricultural commissioners. state
agricultural college experts, and
members of State agricultural COM
mittees have been asked to attend
the meetings, and. in turn. give re-
suits to the people in their State.

Summer-Spoiled Skin
Removed By Absorption

AS undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan,
redneSs or rougness, often freckles,
too, the sensible thing to do is to re-
move such surface. There's nothing
better for this than ordinary mercol-
ized wax, which actually absorbs an
unwholeSome complexion. The thin
layer of surface skin is itself absorbed,
gently, gradually. so there no incon-
venienCe, no detention indoors. Spread
the wax, lightly over the entire face
at bedtime and take it of in the morn
ing with warm water. If YOU will get
one ounce of meTcolizei wax at the
drug store, use it for a week or so.
you may expect marked improvement
daily. When the underlying skin is
wholly in view your complexion will be
a marvel of spotless purity and beauti-
ful whiteness.
Don't let those summer wrinkles
worry you; worry breeds more wTin-
kles. Danish them by bathing the face
in a solution of powdered saxolite, I
oz. dissolved in Y pit. witch hazel. Used
daily for a while this will be found
wonderfully effective.-Adv.

MASSES OPENS Case
BEFORE DEPARTMENT
Attorney for Suppressed Magazine
Files Protest with Postofice.

Gilbert z. Roe, of New York city,
attorney for THE Masses" appeared
before the Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General yesterday and filed pro-
test against the proposal of the Post
Office Department to deny \ 'The
Masses" admission to the n1aNs as
second class matter on lthe GROUNDS
that it had missed its august i4ue
and was therefore not a "cOntinuous
publication
In the affidavits which he filed, Roe
declared THAT the August number Of
THE Masses had, according to the
decision of Judge Hand of the Fed
eral District Court, been illegally
and wrongfuliy'' barred from the
mails by the Postoffice Department.
He cited a letter addressed by Post
master General Burleson to Chair
man Moon, of the House Committee
on Postoffice and Post Roads, to the
effect that ANY publisher who may
csuestion the Validity of the rulings
of the Postofiee Department" has the
courts open to him for a review of
any action which may have been
taken.
THAT can only mean that a pub
Usher has the protection of the courts
against illegal rulings of the depart
ment. But this proposal to bar The
Masses from the second-class privi-
leges in a plain violation OF the as
surence given to the public by the
Postmaster General that no publisher
is wholly at the mercy OF the de-
partment. Under your present plan,
you first stop a given issue OF a
magazine and then you permanently
penalize the publisher, not on account
Of his own conduct but on account
OF yours"
1t was announced that the Post
Office Department would take the
argument under advisement.

REST IN PEACEl

Beautiful Bette the Belle of the
Bureau
Was buried today, and our grief
is profund.
How sad We all felt as they lowered
the casket!
And threw in the earth with that
horrible sound!
Now, somewhere in Heaven the
Angels are waiting,
To welcome sweet Bette where 10Y
Is supreme!
And silence, and sorrow will greet US
tomorrow,
When We mingle again at the
money machine,
How solemn and sad was the scene
IN the Chapel
As the family, and friends, were
about to depart,
And we took a last look at those
beautiful features;
Expressing the grief Of a suffering
heart!
Alas! for the lovers this grim wal
has parted,
Such sorrowful faces has seldom
been seen,
And many maid will become
broken hearted.
As they worry alone at the money
machine,
