Little Thrift Talks TO Women
nr CALLY RyLAND.


The financial difference between men and wo-
men Is that while a ma1Fs ambition is to have
an independent income. woman's ambition
stops short just the other side OF spending
money. More women are making money TO-
day than at any other time in the history Of this
country, but while the proportion of Savers"
has increased very slowly, the proportion OF
spenders' has increased with great rapidity
This is "a flush time" for money king
An unskilled. inexperienced girl can make
more money to-day than frst-ratc clerk or
artisan was making few years ago. and
though, perhaps, few women have begun TO
realize It, this is also most critical and i'm
portant time to begin to money.
Big salaries for unskilled labor will not last
long The returning soldier will again become
a producer instead Of consumer, and hard
times are bound to come again.
What proportion OF your weekly salary arc
YOU saving?
Make Thrift your silent partner if you want
to have more than just "a little spending
money to show for your business experience.
Save certain amount each week out of your
regular salary and deposit 1t in the Savings
department of The American National Bank.

Together with thousands OF cities AMI

In the training camps II is one OF the

woman's stolid valor. poise and unfall-
ing cheerfulness have just added to
shlpwreck annals one OF the most
thrilling chapters OF heroism ever
skinned from the tempestuous Pa
cific.
1t is the story Of how she willed to
live.
OF how she imposed that indomltabe

fortune when. during a heart-breaking
experience, they might have given up
or gone TO pieces under panic.
When the ii survivors Of the Inflated
schooner Crescent. burned at sea 400
miles from san Francisco, steered their
tiny lifeboat through the Golden Gate

voice acclaimed Mrs. Theodore Olsen,
the captains wife. a true daughter Of
Vikings.
She is just that
The sea has been her home, her hus-
bands schooner her domicile.
And the strength she drew from the
sea, Mrs. Olsen used TO cheat II OF It's
prey.
"She was a woman y say the ship
wrecked sailors in simple and full tri-
butte.
Mrs. Olsen is unconscious Of being a
heroine.
I'VE just made The best Of It," she
said at the end Of an experience That
has driven men mad. killed women from
exposure and shattered nerves for life.
"The best of It" was two weeks in
the schooner's overladen lifeboat
drenched by wave and rain storm sail
ing under a makeshift rigging, short Of
rations and water, while beset by those
subtler perils that breed panic under
sustained stress.

two until he was braced up. | think

America Becomes Singing Nation
What and Promises for Morale of the United
Sates-Wll Ragtime Song, and RagTime
Soul Pass Out Altogether?

NJ. Edoard Deru, court violinist to
King Albert of Belgium, and as deep a
student Of the influences which sway
peoples as he Is Of music. thus briefly
states the significance Of the phenome-
non:
THE recent development Of mass
singing In the United States is one OF
the most striking musical events OF
this generation.
More than that-it has tremendous
social meaning.
"Your people are for the first time In
their history learning to sing together
in vast assemblages, and like 10.
"lIarmany Of the lips means heart
harmony, and heart harmony In great
nation like America means tremendous
things.
Its other name Is MORALE.
"ln this new found Joy Of mass sing
ing America is mellowing its soul while
dedicatlng il TO the grim but glorious
task Of Staying the dragon"
NJ. Deru was speaking in San Fran
CISCO, Cal, on his concert tour Of the
country for the benefit OF Belgian and
French relief funds.
81 believe, he continued, that the
whole movement will have another
beneficial effect in raising the standard
Of musical taste in this country.
Already the tendency is marked In
that direction.
"rhe rag-time song and the rag-time
soul may very likely both pass into
the discard in this world test by fire
which is melting the dross and sepa-

Each employee and PORO Agent
had something to say, and it was to
hear the story told by the women who
were the agents of PORO. Several
who had been teaching school re-
signed to take up PORO because they
could serve. Cary B. Lewis, manag-
ing editor of the Chicago Defender
spoke. To him no meeting meant so
much. 1t carried him back to the
father back in Kentucky, that re-
ligious training, and while others
were asleep or out enjoying them
selves he found pleasure in being in
the most important meeting.
