How The Thrift Stamp Campaign
Has Succeeded

In conjunction with the campaign to promote
savings for purposes of investment in thrift stamps.
only seven months old, its seemed we'll as
sured. In December, 1917, it had begun haltingly.
There was opposition to it from manufacturers and
sellers Of goods. who believed it would cripple their
business People were slow to take the stamps. !,
Only 81 900 900 worth sold in the first month.
Since then, however, the opposition has gradually
died away and people have taken to buying stamps
all over the country. There now 2O8,OOO lie
ensed agents for sales of stamps; there 100000
war-savings societies in the country, and there are
236, 900 authorized places where stamps can be
bought.
1t was the original purpose to secure sales and
pledges during the first year for 100000, 900
worth In months more than two-thirds of
that amount was secured-that u.s. $1,000, 100000 in
actual sales and in pledges to buy regularly from
month to month and some $50 900 persons. large
and small, had gone with the movement. The week
ly returns had risen early in July $780, 1884, 900,
five times the amount secured in the whole month of
December. Over 100000 day was. in fact
marked change from daily average return of bare
ly 81 900 900 for the first few months. 1t went to
show that people who signed the pledge cards were
living up to their agreements, and that by force of
example their influence was spreading Instead Of
making false promises, they had continued to pay
quarters and dollars. The movement was got we'll
under way only after long period of education
throughout the country conducted personally by
Frank A. Vanderp for the Treasury Department.
At the rate of $50, 100000 week the Government
in the course of year would collect 50, 100000
more than the amount named as the purpose of the
campaign but not far short of the proceeds of the

From The Chin Up

What measures Mans Work Value? From
your chin down you are worth about dollar and
half day.
From the chin up you worth-anythng.
There's no limit.
Without your headpiec you just animal,
and about as valuable as a horse-maybe.
You have mistaken idea. You think you
paid for your work. You not. You paid
for what you think while you work. It's the kind
of brain that directs your hands that gives you your
rating And what causes you the most concern-the
contents of your skull the mass below the collar
bone?
You exercise your body, keep your arms strong
and your legs Timber and your waist line supple, but
do you regularly exercise your cerebrum?
Are your thoughts iabby, uncontrolled, way
ward and useless, though you expert in tennis
golf?
Is your thinker keen, alert disciplined, &C.
curae and dependable as your hands?
Where do you get your pleasures? From the
chin down? Is it all dancing for your feet and meat
for your belly and clothes for your back? And is all
your fun in the cellar? Don't you ever have any
fun in the attic?
What interests you most-books or drink?
What pains you most-a stomach ache or a lie?
How are you pulled? TO what part of you is
the cabletow fastened-to your lons or to your
forehead?
Suppose it were possible to live after the head
had been severed from the body. Which part would
you rather be-the head part the meat part?
What you, anyhow-an ANIMAL pestered
with mind, a SOUL prisoned in the body?
Do you know that the gist of culture consists in
transferring ones habual amusements from below
TO above the nose?

their injuries may have placed them.
The Labor and Employment Group
of the industrial Bureau of the Board
of Trade, through the secretary of the
organization, Benjamin G.. Odiorne. is
compiling catalogue of all the avail
able opportunities In the various
plants of the city, where men with an
arm or leg or even eye sight gone
may be employed in some useful ca
pacity. The group Is eager to secure
the earnest, quick and hearty coop
Grafton of the plants in compiling the
catalogue so that 1t may be ready
when the boys return home and seek
for something to do.
Not only does the group urge the
plants to list all available jobs they
may have at this time, but to create
positions in the various establishments
where these men may be employed.
These men have given the best they
have to the country and the labor
group feel that everyone should do
their part to take care of the return
ing DOyb.
Even blind men can be employed in
verious plants for minor work. In @
plan twithin few miles of this city
a blind man has been employed for the
past several weeks on work formerly
done by young boys and girls. Today
At Is understood that the concern OBJ
tains more and better work from the
man who has to depend on his hands
and senses alone to do the work sue
cessful, that it has from other persons
who formerly held the position.
The employing of disabled soldiers
and sailors in the various plants has
been taken up by the Labor and EN-
ployment group for the sole purpose
OF cooperating with the federal gov
ernment. All plants after a careful
survey OF their establishment for posi-
tions suitable for men of this kind are
urged to send a report of their find
ings to the secretary OF the Board OF
Trade SO that the catalogue may be
completed within the shortest time
possible.

TROLLEY MAN
MEETS DEATH
Conductor Thrown From Car
While Making Change --Dies
Later in Physicians Office

Thomas f. Fimiani, eighteen years
old, of 494 Johnstone street, a con-
ductor of the Public Service Corpor-
alton. died in the Office of DIR. Hofer,
of Metuchen, about IL o'clock last
night as the result of injuries that he
received when he was thrown or fell
from his car near the Bloomfield
switch about fifteen minutes before
his death.
Fimiani had only been In the en-
ploy of the trolley company about
two weeks. He was standing on the
rear platform of the car, it Is said,
making change for soldier going to
Camp Raritan when the car gave a
lurch and threw him to the roadway.
Motorman Jay Miller, of New
Brunswick. brought the car to a stop
a short distance from where the man
had fallen off and backed 1t up.
Fimiani was rushed to the office of
DR.. Hofer where he expired shortly
after being taken there. Coroner
James ]. Flynn. of this city. was call
ed and he removed the body to his
morgue In East avenue. Fimiani had
a mark on the left side of his head
where 1t is believed he struck, eaus-
ing a fracture of the skull. He lived
with his father, Donate Fimiani, at
the Johnstone street address.
The car at the time was on its way
from this city to New Brunswick and
it was not known at first whether the
young man was looking from the car
and was struck by one of the poles
along the side of the track or whether
he had fallen.
Coroner Flynn, who is investigating
the death of the young man, says the
report he had gathered is that he
was leaning from the car and struck
on the left side of the head, and the
trolley company in their report say
that the man fell from the car while
1t was rounding the curve at the point
where he was picked up.

of previous testimony.
On the basis OF sixty-day supply
of INT. provided for under the OPP
Grating capacity of the plant at the
time of the explosion, there should
have been stored but 100000 pounds
of INT at the plant. Instead there
was total of 100000 pounds, or, as
the senator put 1t, an eight months
supply.
Mr.. Yates declared that If all the
unit had been in operation at the
time. the amount on hand would not
have been so excessive. But" inter.
posed the senator, sis It not fact that
the Ordnance Department should
make shipments on q basis of units In
