The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at. sGy, $4756O. The intrinsic
parity is s4.Sees per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at a premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng.
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country Is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac
counts in England.

"Of course, the decreasing supply of
hammering home of the thrift idea are
tending to curb this tendency of large
consumption.
"Another important social result Of
the war savings campaign is its teach
ing of an important lesson in political
economy. People are being shown that
a good spender is not helping society.
Consuming wealth is like burning it,
People are being taught that their real
quarrel is not with tlF man of large
wealth, but with the man of large ex-
penditure. The man who invests his
capital in reproductive enterprises is
helping society. Labor should realize
that an increased working capital
means more employment and better
wages inevitably
"Then, too, the lessons of thrift that
are being inculcated into the minds of
the people, especially the school chill
dren, have changed their attitude tow
ward life, and may be expected to have
effects that will not end with the war"
Would Remove Limit
The chairman of the National War
Savings Committee said that he now
believed it was mistake to limit the
amount of war stamps that any one
person might hold to $1,000, and that
he thought legislation ought to be en-
acted in time for next year to change
this. The object of making any re-
strictions, he said, was because the
! stamps are really demand loans, which
I can be called at ten days notice. II
no upward limit was set, it was feared,
Mr.. Vanderhp indicated, that banks,
for example, might put lot of money
into war stamps and embarrass the
government by calling them. The way
to prevent this contingency, he added,
was not to place 81 900 limit on ones
/ holdings, but to place a limit on the
amount that could be cashed in within
given periods of time before the matt
rity date was reached. OF course, If
the barrier to holding larger amount
Of stamps than 81 900 were lifted, it
might be considered necessary to with
draw from the excess amount the tax
exempt feature.
Mr.. Vanderip, surveying the whole
sweep of the campaign up to the pres
ent time, said he saw nothing to be
ashamed of in what had been dAC.
He indicated that the propaganda of
saving was tending to alter the ma
tional habits. He said that not only
can you see war savings booth al
most wherever you look in New York.
but that the same condition prevails
in Minnesota, Texas, Alaska and wher-
ever the Stars and Stripes fly.
AS he sees his vision for a 25-cents
saving campaign to help finance the
war yield results, Mr.. Vanderlip is
dreaming about means of applying the
thrift idea for social purposes after the
war. He made it clear that, in propos-
ing adjustments for the future, ne was
not speaking for the National War Saw
ings Committee, but for himself as An

From the Beu cross News Bulletin
the following quotations will bring
good cheer to those whose relatives
are In the service:
No better advice could be given to
soldiers in camp or about to leave
for camp than this:
"Tell your troubles to the Red Cross
field director"
In every camp and cantonment there
is an official Red Cross representative
whose sole business is to cater to the
needs of enlisted men.
If a soldier is worried about his
family back home this Red Cross man
will see that the problem is solved sat
lsfactorily.
If the soldier or sailor is sick in
camp and cannot write to his relatives
or family, the Red Cross man will at
tend to it for him.
In short, the Red Cross bureau of
military relief is organized to help en-
listed men in every way and the Red
Gross Is eager to have the men use
this service.
The Red Cross field director can be
found at Red Cross headquarters in
side the camp cantonment. No mat
ter what the soldier or sailors prob
lem may be, he will do well to consult
this representative.
One reason the American people re-
Gently gave $17O,OOO,OOO to the Red
Cross was to continue this service and
enlisted men should avail themselves
of it freely.

also should appeal to their local Red

FRANCES STARR ESCAPED.

Following the characterization
achieved by Frances Starr in David
Belascos production OF Edward Knob
locks Tiger! Tiger" in the Belasco
Theatre, It is somewhat difficult TO
realize that Miss Starr came perilously
near becoming the matinee idol Of
Sweet Sixteen" in her early expert
ence under the Belasco management.
Scarcely beyond that age herself. she
made her first appeal for popularity
with David Wariield In The Music
Master" some twelve years ago AS
the young daughter in this now ia
nous play the chief charm OF the
role lay in Its sweetness and inno-
cence. So IL came about that her first
place In public thought was in as
ISOLATION with character that brought
schoolgirls by the score into the play
house and established the impression
that the stage had acquired young
matinee favoritc. In THE Rose OF
the Rancho" written mainly for the
exploitation Of the girlish charm OF
Miss Starr, who appeared in its title
role, the former impression acquired
of the young actress was agcentuated.
The sominaries chewed their caramels
Ell inasse and declared her perfectly
sweet, while the guardians OF fem
mime youth reached the definite con-
clusion that any rcharine twaGdle
which Miss Starr might essay to voice
i'll the future would be ennenuy suit.
able for young ears. Also It was oh
viously their conclusion that plays
selected for her by MIR. Belasco would
orer nothing unsuitable for young
minds, nor touch the realities OF life.
Then followed tho CONSERVATION
which swept the first night audience
OF The Easiest Way" when Mr.. Be-
lasco made his first production OF that
play in Washington. And the first
matinee audience composed largely of
patrons from the exclusive girls semi
naries with which the nations capital
10 filled! And the protests which fol.
lowed! Mr.. Belasco was deluged with
letters. How dared he take away their
milk and honey? What shame, they
declared, that girl embodying all the
maidenly sweetness and gentleness Of
their idoliZed Frances Starr should be
made to go beneath the surface Of
life If Mr. Belasoo had not realized
before the dangers OF too many sac.
charine roles for n new player the
storm stirred by Miss Starts first APP
pearance In THE Easiest Way" left
him no doubt that he had taken the
reins Of her brilliant career into his
hands none too soon. The protests OF
her former devotees brought a chuckle
TO her producer. They so confirmed
the wisdom OF tho step he had taken
for his young star that without hest
fancy he presented her In The Easiest
Way" to New York.
Following this came 1.-THE Case OF
Becky" with its theory OF dual per
sonality. Touching again the deep
places of human life came next Miss
Stairs appearance La Henri Bern
STEMS The Secret" And once again
the gulf between the sweet girl type
and Miss Starr was widened.
Then came Edward Knoolock's
"Marie-Odile which stirred all Of
America TO heated disc ussion and
formed another milestone in the ar It's
tic career of Frances Starr. Purity of
