THRIFT DOES NOT
MEAN PARSIMONY,
SAYS c. H. SABIN

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Charles II.
SabIn, president Of the Guaranty
Trust Company. says that. in order to
meet the abnormal conditions created
that the sooner We face these facts
by the war, abnormal means are nee.
"ssary. and that the sooner we face
these facts frankly the greater will
be our ability to prosecute the war
= a successful end.
To meet the financial strain which
war has placed upon us, he says, there
are three available means at hand:
First, thrift; second. increased pro-
duction; third. credit expansion. All
three must be resorted to individually
and nationally. he believes.
Concerning thrift. there has been
much hysterical agitation and some
what unbalanced enthusiasm. which
has served TO create a counter current
OF resentment and opposition that is
not in the public interest" saws Mr..
SAbIn. NO right-mindrd man will
challenge tho basic need for rational
thrift. but such thrift does not mean
settling or destruction of legitimate
THE normal savings OF the peo-
pie OF the United states at tn" out
break Of the European war were esti-
mated at $4,000 900 900 or $4,000 900, 70
900 a year: in 1917 they were esti-
mated Mt $4,000, 900 900 or SI5 900 600. =
coo. and an increasing measure Of
thrift IL reflected on all sides. To
carry thrift program beyond the
point OF this rational Increase in
saving could serve only to dcpress
business, destroy values. and create
unemployment
business men and waEe-earners
cannot lend money To the Government
unless they can make money And
business must earn more money this
year than last year. There must be
discrimination. of course. between
that which Is essential and that which
is nonessential. But no legitimate
business which can make money with
out competing with the Government
is nonesSential"

HEARING SOON ON
SUBURBAN WATER
SYSTEM EXTENSION

Growing interest among nearby
Maryland communities In the bill
now pending in the Marylsnd LeEis-
lature authorizing extension of Dis
trict water and sewers to Maryland
territory IL apparent as the day for
he hearing on the bill At Annapolis
approaches
This interest Is increased. Il was
learned today. by the fact that II the
measure fails to pass this session OF
the Maryland Legislature. the Mary
land Staate board OF health Is pre-
pared to insist upon very radical
changes in water and sewer systems
throughout the Washington suburb
an sanitary district created by the
bill, as well as construction OF add
tional systems where necessary to
protect the health OF the communi-
ties.
SISO.OOO for Project.
7. Howard Duckett. a member OF
the Washington suburban sanitary
commission. is authority for the
statement that the necessary i'm
provements and additions to exist
ing systems will involve an imme-
diate expenditure by the communi-
ties affected OF moro than $4,000.
Full authority to compel these
changes is vested by existing Mary
land law in the Maryland State
board OF health. and IL Is known that
that board views existing sanitary
conditions within the area affected
by the pending measure as grave
In the extreme. constituting an act
ual menace to the health not only OF
Maryland residents. but OF residents
Of the District OF Columbia as we'll.
Attention was called to the danger
of allowing existing conditions to
continue, In a report made two years
ago to the Maryland Legislature OF
1915, and the health authorities on
both sides OF the District line have
realized for years that the increasing
pollution OF streams flowing into the
District OF Columbia from Maryland
threatened the health of the District
OF Columbia
Extension Authorized
1t was a realization OF this fact
which led Congress at its last session
to enact legislation authorizing the
extension Of District OF Columbia
water and sewers to Maryland.
Both Rock Creek and the Eastern
Branch are said at this time to be
seriously polluted by Maryland sew
age for which there 10 no other out
let inasmuch as practically all OF the
nearby Maryland territory Is higher
than the District OF Columbia and
drains naturally into the District.
1t is said to be possible to prevent
detrimental results by the installA-

THE CALL MUST BE ANSWERED

Lancaster county is called upon
to invest $113.452 in War Savings
stamps during the intensive cam
paign to be conducted June IA to
2S-two weeks. The call must be
answered cheerfully and willingly.
Lancaster county has answered
every call that has been made since
the United States entered the war;
the three Liberty loans were over
subscribed, the Red Cross quota
was approximately doubled. the fuel
and food restrictions have been met.
South Carolina, as a matter of fact
has graciously met all of these is
sues, but, for some unaccountable
reasons, South Carolina stands at
the foot Of the column of states in
the sale OF War Savings stamps.
The quota for the county for the en-
tire year is s567,16O, and the divis-
ion of the quota into districts was
printed in The News Tuesday.
Lancaster county has shown the
world how we'll it backs the govern
ment in this war every time the op-
portunity has been presented. In
War Savings stamps sales. The
News has no doubt, when the final
count is made, that this reputation
will be maintained, although the
greater part of the sales has been
left to the last half OF the year.
1t should be borne In mind that
War Savings stamps are not unlike
Liberty bonds except in appearance
and amount. 1t is the best and
safest investment in the world but
aside from that, investment in War
Savings stamps is backing up your
government and doing your bit to
win the war. which is far greater in
Importance to YOU than any interest
that can be earned by your money.

Bathing it red.

Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it
But feels the might of it
