ture.
 And the result has been that today we are classed throughout the world as the most extravagant of nations and noted far and wide for our utter disregard of everything pertaining to thrift, both in the household and abroad.
 During the past few years, how ever conditions have greatly changed. Living costs have advanced to de- gree approximating nearly two hun- dred per cent during the past decade. Wages have increased In a degree, though hardly proportionate to the general advance of food and other commodities.
 But all the while the average Am erican continued his reckless extra vagances, living up to the full extent of his income and gratifying every whim and Inclination regardless of it's cost so long as he had the pricc, with the result that when conditions became such that the necessity for economy was impressed upon him by rapid rise of the commodities of life, he finds himself sorely pressed through never having learned the les son of economy. Neither he nor his family, if he chances to have one, really know how to eeonomize. Waste has been the rule by which they have lived and the saving tendencies neces- sary to true economy are things un- known.
 Thrift is now being taught In many schools and, needless to say, It is a very good thing Massachusetts and several other states have made its teaching compulsory, and the topic is taking hold all over the land, though the methods of instruction and incal- culation vary widely.
 The school savings bank is becoming an institution-a practical part of school life. Nearly 1O5,O00 school children have been taught the thrift habit in these school banks to an ex- tent that enabled them to transfer quite respectable accounts to the reg ular savings institutions. Already nearly one pupil in every twenty has a bank account. But the lesson of thrift must be carried even farther than the school for 1t is in the home that the greater part of our wasteful- ness develops. The parents as well IS the children need to learn thrift. Thrift does not mean merely hoard ing money or refusing to spend it in a normal way. But it does mean temperance in all things and tends to sane and simple living.

SAYS AMERICA RULED BY CON-
 VENTION.

"The American woman has the suf- frage in some states, from a child she IS accustomed to appearing in public and does so more easily than we do, but she has not half the free dom of movement of the Dutch wo- man," declared Hollands first woman professor, Dr. Johanna Westerdyk, to an interviewer. Dr. Westerdyk re- gently was appointed extraordinary professor of plant pathology at the state university in Utrecht. The re- mark was made as the result of a tour she undertook through the Uni ted States.
 Dr. Westerdyk was disappointed with the position of the American woman. Tn speaking of America" she sand, we are accustomed to imagine that conditions everywhere there re- semble those in New York But New York is much more European. In the small university towns in the west and the east things wear quite a dif- ferent aspect. It is true that the married woman is less bound by do- nestle life. She does not have to be at home in the afternoon to get din- ner ready. But, on the other hand, a professors wife has a very busy

ThRIFT-REASoNA WAY OF
 LIVING.

One of the most valuable lessons that will be impressed upon the Am erican people by the entrance of their country into the great European war is the necessity for a more thrifty manner of living.
 At the present time and for years the people of America are and have been the most extravagant in their manner of living of all earth inhabi- tants No nation has been so reckless in it's expenditures or more wasteful in the conduct of the domestic establish ment.
 Time and again it has been pointed out by foreign students of economies that the average family of Europe could and does subsist on far smaller allowance of comestibles while the in- dividual expenditure for items not ln- cluded In the household menu, such as clothes, shoes, etc., are much less than those of the average American family Rene Bache, the famous French writer, years ago declares that the average French family could easily subsist on the foodstuffs that are thrown into the waste barrel by the average American family.
 A startling example of the effects of I.f loo Nf t., C, nished by the statement of S. w Strauss, head of the American Society responsible for the introduction of thrift teaching" in the public schools, that eighty two out of every hundred men who die in America leave no income producing assets and 1,250,000 former wager earners who failed to provide for the future are now being publicly supported at cost of about s22o,Ooo.ooo per year.
 Additional evidence of thls national disregard of economy is indicated in the statement of another famous Am erican economist that: "The most val uable lesson that can be taught to the American people is thrift"
 The reason for this characteristic absence of thrift is obvious. Until very recent years the American household has seldom felt the neces- sity for stringent economy. Wages have been high and money "easy' to employ the colloquialism of the stock market. Until few years ago the high cost of living" seldom obtruded itself into the domestic councils. The average American, lived better, was clothed better and secured more money for his labor than the citizens of other nations, with the result that he and his family were led into a way or manner of living in which disregard of economy was the most prominent fea-

life without a servant in the house. For all have their own house. and many their own car which they drive themselvys but they don't keep q maid because servants are too trouble some.
 'The American woman sees to it that she does not become house drudge, neither is she the slave of her children. Further. she gets some help, from her husband. But one has the feeling in dining with her that one is giving her extra work. !"
 But what had struck pr. Westerdyls most of all was that the social inter- course between the sexes was far from being so free and unfettered as in Holland. Her men colleagues, for in- stance, thought that she might not lodge in the same hotel, nor enter a restaurant with them, and that she could hardly be with them in the university unless other women were present. At the botanical society no women were admitted. She was used to so different a condition at botanical congresses that America, With it's re- putation of a paradise for women, had greatly disappointed her.
 Everything in America was ruled by convention, in the opinion of Dr. Westerdyk.
