HABITS OF SAVING
STEADILY GROWING

Evidences are accumulating tha
the habit of saving among the Amer
lean people, especially among the pa
irons of savings banks and posta
savings, is outstripping the financial
demands made upon them by the
government.
While no exact figures are avail
able at present, it is known that pos
tai savings deposits have steadily
gained during the year 1917, and
notably since the first Of July Of that
year, which was after the first issue
of the Liberty Loan.
The reports from savings banks
also show a steady gain, and the
same is true of cooperative building
and loan associations.
Nor have the people of small
means been the only savers. 1t is
estimated that the savings of the
whole people of, the United States,
ordinarily IS, 900, 100000 to $6,OOO,-
100000 annually, were increased
to $14,OOO,OOO,O 1000 to SIS, 100000
900 in 1917.
The response of the people to the
national need of economy and saving
has been general and generous.

MEN TO WEAR WHITE
SHOES NEXT SUMMER

News item: White canvas shoes
will be the rage for men next sum-
mer, say dealers, in order to conserve
leather.
The man who makes our boots and
shoes says he will make them white;
thus he shoe-horns into the news to
shew us his delight.
With leather scarce, the shoeman
says he's in an awful hole; and so
he's using canvases to save his
bloomin' sole.
Thus when we walk in Chestnut
street, or stroll the town about, the
vhitewashed boots upon our feet will
shine like all get out.
Chicago girls, whene'er their shoes
are ready for a shine, will have to
ask the boy to use tub of kalso-
mine.
Old Rastus doesn't realize his feet
are so immense; instead of canvas
shoes he buys a pair of circus tents.
Some folks, of course, will substi-
tute and reckon it awl right to cam
outage and make a boot of rags and
paint it white.
No doubt there will be those
among our readers who deny that
any shoe with withered tongue could
tell so black a lie.

ENGLISH FOOD SHORTAGE
RELIEVED BY AMERICANS

LONDON. July 20.-"This country
will never again have to go through
any period of such trial and irritation
as arose from the food shortage which
caused the queues in the country last
autumn and in February and March, ="
said John Robert Clynes. acting food
controller in the course of a state
ment recently on the food situation.
Mr. Clynes told of the immense
change that has come over the coun-
try since a few months ago, when he
and his chief. Viscount Rhondda, were
about to ration the people. So great
is the change that the talk OF reyolu-
ton on food shortage has passed
away, and trade union conferences
now end without mentioning food.
we have to thank our bountitul
ally, America, for great food supplies.
