THE WAR-SAVINGS PLAN
 SUMMARIZED.

The war-savings plan provided for in the last bond act, of September 24, 1917, has been formulated and an- nounced by the Treasury Department and goes into operation on Monday, December 8.
 The plan puts it easily in reach of every American citizen to save mon- ey and at the same time aid the gov ernment by supplying it with the sin ews of war.
 Stamps, which are the govern ment's certificates of indebtedness, are to be sold in two denominations thrift stamps, which cost % cents each, and war-savings stamps, which cost from $4.12 to $4.23 each accord ing to the month in which they are purchased.
 With the first thrift stamp the pur- chaser is given thrift card with spaces for 16 stamps. When 16 thrift stamps have been purchased and affixed the thrift card can be ex- changed for a war-savings stamp by paying the difference between the S4 the thrift stamps represent and the current value of the war-savings stamp, which in December, 1917, and January, 1918, will be $4.12 and thereafter 1 cent for each succeeding month during the year 1918.
 With the first war-savings stamp obtained by purchase or exchange the owner is given a war-savings cer- tificate containing spaces for 20 war savings stamps. If the 20 spaces are filled during December, 1917, or Jan uary, 1918, the cost to the purchaser will be $4.12 for each stamp, or $S2.- 40 for the full certificate, and on the 1st day of January, 1923, the govern ment will redeem the certificate at S100, giving the holder a net profit of $17.60 for the use of his money.
 Although the investments do not mature until January 1, 1923, pro- vision is made whereby upon ten

days written notice after January l., 1918, such certificates will be releas- ed by postmasters at their cost to the purchaser plus 1 cent a month on each war-savings stamp on the certificate.
 The thrift stamps do not bear in- terest, but the war-savings stamps bear 4 per cent, compounded quarter ly. The certificates will be dated January 2, 1918, and mature Janua- ry 1, 1923.
 Under the plan an amount as small as 25 cents can be invested in a gov ernment security, and as soon as $4 has been thus invested an interest bearing certificate of the United States government can be secured.
 The stamps and certificates can be obtained from post offices, banks, or trust companies, at most railroad sta tions, stores, factories, and many oth- CT public places.
 Having the entire wealth of the United States back of them, and be- ing redeemable as above stated, there is no danger of any depreciation in value of the certificates.

RUSHING ENGLISH WOMEN TO WORK
 IN FRANCE
Employed at all Sorts Of 0ccupations-Some Are Now Building
 Army Huts

PARIS, August 1. - Every boat from England to France brings new companies of women workers. At first their work was mostly at re- mote bases, but now they may be found working further and further afield, sometimes within hearing distance of the guns. In clerical departments at the chief bases the women have largely displaced the men. As chauffeurs they are em- ployed by the hundreds, and 600 young women carpenters are at work building army huts.
