THRIFT is VICTORY RECIPE
Frank A. VanderIip Says Business
Must Not Compete With
the Government

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Frank A. Wander
lip, national director Of the United
States war savings campaign, has
aroused Chicago and other cities in
which he has spoken during the last
few days to perfect frenzy for thrift.
The idea he inculcates is not that
the thrifty should hoard, but should
save and lend to government their
money, first because the government
needs the money for successful pros
ecution of the war, and secondly be-
cause the government needs, even
worse, the labor employed in making
the articles that the people demand
the luxuries and the thoughtless little
things that they are better off without,
but which form a large part Of the
manufacturing industry Of the United
States.
1--WE must make the people see that
1t is not the money they give, but the
money they refrain from spending
otherwise, that Is the great help. We
must make the boy see, for example
that If he buys a baseball he is using
rubber that might go into an ambu-
lance tire. He is using leather that
might go into a soldiers boot. He is
using labor, he is using shop room.
He is directly taking away from the
government the means to quickly and
thoroughly equip the army. He will
consider whether he cannot wait for
that baseball.
81 am not going to propose anything
that will wreck business. l am not
proposing receivers for the manufac-
turers of nonessentials. Let us make
this war lesson as clear as possible,
and we will still have a great busi-
ness in Injuries, a disturbingly great
business in luxuries, because labor
never before was so fully employed at
such high wages"

London. Dec 18.-Emphasizing the
taciturnity of E. NJ. House, head of the

describes him as man who would go
so far as to admit it was raining If
there was no one within earshot." This
comment evidently was evoked by the
efforts to newspaper men to interview
