ACQUIRING
HABIT
By GERTRUDE ATHERTON
OF Tks YgA0asss

Probably nothing could humiliate us
more than to be forced to admit any
superior quality In a race for which
We have u profound loathing and con-
tempt. And yet 1t Is a fact that the
national habit Of thrift In Germany
Is M secret Of its prolonged resist
ance to the combined might Of the civ
ili1ed world. 1t L. quite true that be-
fore the q the Germans were gross
eaters. but they wasted nothing. The
moment the civilians were ordered to
eat less and W the scraps they drew
in their belts and did as they were told.
1t might be difficult to control the
but to scrimp and save involved no
long apprenticeship, cost them practi-
cslly no effort whatever.
The same may be said Of France.
While England-as wasteful a nation
a. own-was Issuing repeated and
almost frantic warnings to her people,
devising constant new methods to con-
troll their natural extravaganza, and at
one time threatened with starvation.
the French simply went on economic
ing and never were In danger for a
moment.
I never shall forget my first visit to
Paris 1t wns to friends, who lived In
great style, but II I happened to feel
hungry during the day or when I went
to bed late, l either had to go hungry
or satisfy my healthy young appetite
at a c~onhserie. There is never an ex-
tra roll In a French household. Elk
act rations are bought every morn
Ing for the day. II there Ire children
in the home, who must be fed between
meals, that Il provided for, but moth
ing whatever for eccentric appetites.
I rebelled vigorously and denounced
the French as a mean. stingy. ecOnomi-
cpl race, my opprobrium extending to
the Americans who drifted supinely
into the national habit.
Easy to Follow Hoovers RuIeaL
Little did l think in those days that
the national habit Of thrift and severe
economy In France was one of their
greatest sources Of strength. The na-
tlonal debt Of France before the wal
was subscribed to almost exclusively
By the peasant class and lower bOur-
geoisic, people who periodically dug
INTO their stockings and bought a new
bond. Nothing can exceed the self-de-
nial Of those classes. It was for this
reason that lie Bien-Etre du Blesse,
which was formed at the request OF
The French government to provide del
lcacies for the wounded soldiers in the
hospitals Of the wal zone, was n pri-

There is a dull light Of worIdliness
In which evil things do not reveal

light In which eve glazing wrong does
not expose its hideousness. There are
