Economy

NTITH the world apparently
Wv topsy-turvy. women are COM
w bining their efforts to work
out the problems of their own
homes, which peculiarly enough
have become the problems of the
nation as we'll. Sometimes we con-
fuse the word THRIFT and STINT
and try to make them synonymous,
and the result is far from the de-
sired by those at the head of the
administration. Thrift means get
ting the most out of everything, max
ing the material give the best re-
suits and utilizing the surplus ac-
crued by thrift to do duty in the
future when it is found most COM
Portable. Thrifty people may never
become millionaires but as rule
they seldom need the assistance
which charity gives. Stinting has no
common-sense reason for existence
it means doing without-food or
clothes or comforts or getting them
in such a scant manner that they
lose their Importance. Stinting does
not insure a fortune but it frequently
insures a job for a doctor-causes
failure in school and often the loss
of force of character to children.
The Food Administration realizing
that over-zealous patriots may stint
the family frequently, makes use of
the slogan-"eat wisely and plenty
but waste nothing" 1t is not thrift
to stint the family Of nourishing food
and spend the difference saved there
by on a doctor bill, allowing the
children to lack for the material
for building good bodies. Ruskin
says of economy 'in the English
language we have warped the word
into a meaning 1t has no business
to bear" With us it distinctly
means saving or sparing, when as a
matter of fact 1t no more means saw
ing than 1t does spending; it means
stewardship-an administrations

when it applies to a household, it
means the housekeeper's proportion

Few people know that every
courageous, red-blooded person,
such as our own soldier boys
at the front, has within his body
fifty grains of iron, or as much
as is contained in an ordinary
railroad spike. To be brave,
courageous and active one must
have good, red blood. Our men
of iron are men with good blood,
good circulation and an active
liver. The poor, weak Stacker
who is not brave enough to go
to war, is probably unfit because
of thin, watery blood. 1t is easy

the portable variety seen with travel

outfit is an exact duplicate of the
famous original whip at Coney
Island and is housed in a huge build
ing built especially for the purpose.
Another attraction that will be
new at Paxtang this season, will be
the Swinging Submarine Boats. This
is another Coney Island novelty that
bids fair to rival the whip in popu.

thrills mixed UP in their holiday

will be given in the afternoon and

"Presumptuous!" Milton repeated.
You could never be that. Cynthia.
But I am not bearing it bravely,
as you say, for / am not a bit un-
happy. Dora is still my friend, you
see."
Yes" Cynthia admitted, but,
while that is a comfort, it hardly
compensates a man for losing the
woman he loves"
"But I do not love Dora"
"Why, Milton!" she protested. "It
is not like you to say thing like
that"
Then it is not like me to tell the
/ TRUTH" he argued. But in this case
am speaking the truth. I have al
ways been fond of Dora-ever since
we went to dancingclass together as
small kids. I have taken her and
her affection as naturally as would

swered.

continued: I'VE had been engaged,

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
NO, HE Is RIGHT
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

1 am seventeen and lonesome. I
want young companions and 1 have
only one girl friend. Don't you think
father is doing wrong by not permit
ting me to meet young folks? He
claims that going around and having
pleasant time is waste of time.
Father says 1 should sew and read so
that 1 will be capable of meeting the
world. I am young and crave for a
good, decent time. What do you ad-
wise? Is he wrong.
EUNICE G.
Perhaps father is a bit extreme, but
ne is erring on the safe side. You
are missing a little fun now, but you
are being, prepared for the strug-
tie hard to know how to meet people
and deal with them unless you have
had some experience along that line.
SO l think your father might COM
promise piH er;n and let you enlarge your cir cir
boy friends who would visit with
you in your own home and who might
easily make friends with your faith
er - few more pleasant girls =
all under fathers supervision, and 1t
justice to your work and the cultural
arts which your father wants you to
know about. Reading and sewing
are splendid. But we all need a few
to let you gallivant about, but 1 do
want him to let you have just a bit
more fun to leaven the work and
study. If he will not, make the best
of his decision-and don't feel abused
Al you can learn now will be too
little for your needs and use some
day; and you will thank father for
your education.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
FOR WAR WORK

Washington, May 16.-More and
more, as the war program progresses
is the Government depending upon
women to perform the tremendously
increased volume of work in the civil
branches. The force of civilian en-
ployees in Washington, D. c., in
creased from 10000 to approximately
10000 during the first year of our
participation in the war. Of this in
crease of 10000 more than $4,000 are
women. Women make up the in
crease in Government offices and es-
Establishments outside of Washington
in less proportion, for the reason that
the greatest expansion in the field
has been in the large manufacturing
plants of the War and Navy Depart
ments, where thousands of mechanics
and laborers are employed in ship
building and in manufacturing ord
nance and other war material. Wo-
men are not available for employ
ment in trades positions to any great
extent, but their services are being
utilized in every way that is prac-
ticable
The United States Civil Service
Commission is calling for women for
Government work of not less than 60
Different kinds. The list includes
stenographers, typists, bookkeepers,
other clerks of a score or more of
classification which require training
in some special or technical line,
statisticians, operators of various
kinds of calculating, addressing, and
duplicating machines; proof readers,
law Clerks, welfare executive secre-
taries, craftsmen of a dozen kinds,
telegraph and telephone operators,
trained nurses, chemists, physicists,
library assistants, inspectors Of un-
dergarments, finger-print classifiers,
and many others.
The Commission urges women to
offer their services to the Government
at this time of great need. AS men
are called to the colors, women must
take their places and keep the ma
chinery behind the armed forces NOV
ing at the maximum of efficiency.
Representatives of the Civil Service
Commission at the post offices in all
important cities are prepared to fur
nish definite information and appli-
cation blanks.
