ECONOMY CAMPAIGNS.
Warnings Being Issued Against Too
Hysterical Campaign for
Economy.

Warnings are being issued against
too hysterical campaign for econ
omy 1t is argued that if everyone
begins to save money and stop the
usual habits of expenditure, it will
throw people out of work, and Grip
pie our Industries, thus doing more
harm than good.
There is some truth in this. Yet it
is very doubtful if such easy spend
ers as the American people are in
danger of doing this particular
thing. If money saved on econo-
mics were used as it ought to be, the
results while causing some temper
airy hardship, would soon be benefi-
cial.
The most desirable thing to do
with savings at the present time is to
put them all into the new United
States bonds. They will pay fair in
terest, and will be wholly exempt
from taxation. The money will be
spent mostly in our own country, so
it will keep our own workers busy.
Such purchases of bonds will help
our allies buy more goods in our
munition plants, in our shoe and
clothing factories, and from our
farms. This will increase the de-
mand for help and will open posi-
tions for all idle workers. Further
more the new work will be along the
line Of vital needs.
When a luxury producer is turned
into a food creator the tendency il
to reduce the price of food and raise
that OF Injuries. That is sound
economies aid change that is
greatly needed.
Every man who is released from
the luxury trades can find work on
a farm, and without going very fan
from home either. Every woman re
leased can find work in factories and
in homes, in restaurants and hotels
releasing able bodied men who
could be raising food. These read
justments will cause some incolveni
ence while they last, but they will
leave the United States in far better
position to meet the issues of botf
war and peace.

WHY THE COAT In SUMMER?

Why do men wear coats in such
vt weather as there has been during
last two weeks? Not one who is
telligent can give an answer to
at question which will satisfy even
nself.
Men scoff at women because they
prone to follow the arbitrary die
es of fashion. But the men in
fundamentals of dress, don't fol-
low anything. They are chained
to conventionality.
They wear plug hats because men
have been wearing plug hats for
many years. They wear buttons on
the sleeves Of their coats not know
ing that the origin of the custom
dates to the time when handkerchiefs
were practically unknown, and some
enterprising tailor hit upon this
means of preventing the sleeves of
his sartorial creations from becom-
ing unduly soiled. And here, in the
yOaA VI SioSC, lOI q, NuOu mCn dI
breaking away from political conven-
tions and traditions which had deliv-
cred them into the hands Of the Phil
Mstines, they go about On the glar-
ing, stony streets of cities when the
mercury is near the top Of the Their
mometer tube, clad as though they
were afraid of being frost bitten.
And the wearing of coats in hot
weather hasn't even the merit of be-
ing a sacrifice to good appearance
For the coat, on a warm summer day,
not only is uncomfortable, but looks
uncomfortable. On the other hand,
nothing could be heater or more
pleasing to the eye than a sensible
summer costume consisting of well
fitting pair Of trousers. belted, a
fresh negligee shirt, soft collar, a
small tie and straw hat.
Men would hike to adopt this
costume, even for summer society az
fairs and the absurdly stiff dinner Of
the hotel eating room. Yet they
don't dare to do it. Heroes there are
who do not hesitate to rush UP to
the lannon's mouth or beard the
cook in her den. But where is the
Intrepid knight whose courage -
eqlal to the supreme test OF facing
the world without the summer coat?
Perhaps, in this era Of progress, he
will appear and deliver mankind
from thralldom in which it seems
to be helpless.

DOUBLE HEADER RECORDS.
Two Victories or Two Defeats Result
Oftener Than Even Splits.

There can be only one Of two opin
Ions on the results Of double headers IN
bnseball--elther they result In even
breaks oftener than In double victories
or they don't. Inquiry among the fans
disclosed that the prevalent opinion IL
that when two games are played IN one
afternoon the result is usually Il vic.
tory fer each team Research proves
il wrong, however. The records OF a
period OF years show that two Veto.
rics or two defeats result oftcner than
even splits.
Just where tho erroneous Impression
originated or what 1t thrivcd Oh Is un
certain. but probably 1t Is due to the
fact that M even break usually results
when double header is played between
pcnnant contcndlng teams. which per-
force are fairly evenly matched. These
important battles leave u more lasting
impression Oh the memory.
The sum total Of double headers IN A
