How Small Savings Pile Up

s. w. Straus in the Thrift Magazine.
 A great French banker was once asked the secret of French thrift and he replied, "Compound Interest" Just as constant waste, even in little things, may change ones life from success to failure, so the steady saving of money will eventually bring independence, ii not actual wealth.
 Let us analyze the statements made by the Frenchman.
 There are very few people who cannot without any inconvenience what ever lay aside 10 cents a day. Within 10 years one's daily savings of this insignificant amount will amount to $365, in addition to $S0.S6 compound interest, making a total of $H5.36 to show for one's saving just 10 cents day for 10 years.
 By saving 15 cents day for 10 years, with interest compounded at per cent, one will have the comfortable sum o S66S.1S 20 cents a day will net $S900 Save 50 cents day for 10 years and you will have $2,227.73. A dollar day will give you total of s4,455.74 for the To- year period All of these figures are based

on the savings being put out per cent compound interest
 Look back over the last 10 years of your life today. Be honest with your self Look facts squarely in the face! Could you not have saved 50 cents day, or quarter a day, or possibly dollar a day2
 It might have pinched you now and then to do so; it might have meant the surrender of few good times, a few luxuries or extravagances. But it would have meant a substantial sum for you something that would add immeasur- ably to your boise, peace of mind and self-confidence.

Washington. April S.-Fifty million

morrow by Chairman Hurley. of the

To establish at once five government

three I'm the South.
Sites for the plants already are un-
der consideration and will be announc-
ed shortly. The three I'm the South
probably will include one already
planned for Wilmington. ". C. Trans
portation facilities and easy access to
cement and sand will govern the
selections.
The first vessels turned out by the
government yards will be $500 tons
tankers both because OF the shortage
OF oil carriers and because OF the
presen. stage or concrete ship develop
ment. The board is more confident of
success with the tankers than with
general cargo craft.
As yet concrete ships are admitted
frankly by experts TO be "a gamble
because the behavior OF such a vessel
under load i'm heavy sea is unknown.
Piez OF the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. hold that I'm the present emer-
sency every possible means OF adding
quickly TO the tonnage available for
war purposes should be utilized.
Greater chance OF success is expect.
ed from the operation of concrete
tankers because the liquid load will
constantly seek n level and not entail
the utrain on the ship that solid
load would do in heavy sea.
The concrete ship Faith" built on
the Pacific coast for private account
is almost ready to undertake a voy-
age. Preliminary reports on the
launching OF the Faith" have been
very enthusiastic as to her possibili-
ties.

Senator'S McCumber and Simmons.
both OF whom are understood to have
agreed that experiments on q large
scale with the new construction
should be made as soon as possible.
