THE DOUBLE EFFECT OF ECONOMY.

When an American citizen, instead
OF spending 500 for something he
wants, denies himself and lends the
money to the eovernmen he performs
a double service.
First, he furnishes the government
with 800 to use in the prosecution OF
the war.
Second, he has relieved TO the X
tent of 500 the drain on our goods
and ~services'; that is, materials and
labor. To make the article or arti-
cles he would have bought. or to
manufacture others to take their
place in the market. would require

There ought to be some way of pro-

as the classic interpreter OF the book

such other aids to love and literary
fire as inspired his pen. If his name
is to be appropriated for a great race
horse?
Horse racing is not the sport today
that it was twenty years ago and es-
pecially~ here In the West the literary
great are more likely to be hidden
under the smoke of a p~opularized
cigar than behind the dust OF a horses
name.
In the East. however. the best So
ciety is divided into two groups OF
young ladies-those who quote Omar
Khayyam and those who sit cross
legged before the newspaper photog-
raphers at the horse shows. Think
of the confusion which will result
when the name Omar Khayyam' is
mentioned at future social events in
Gotham. 1t is fearful to contemplate.
And there is no doubt about the put

stakes will hold the field against the
