1t would encourage saving Banks would extend
their usefulness Thrift would be promoted The
discount would not be given in form for spending
but only for saving.
Many attempts have been made to remedy the
expense of credit accounts. There stores that
sell for cash only, and others that require deposit
account. But human nature is human nature. Peo-
pie will go buying for credit, because it is easier
and just cheap as paying cash. But if it be made
to ones profit to pay down he will be inclined to
pay down.
Discount in the aggregate is an enormous factor.
A Chicago merchant told me he would rather have
the discounts on State street than to any store
on that great retail thoroughfare The president of
railway and steamship line recently reported $685.,
600 month savings in his purchases by being able
to pay promptly.
Any plan to reduce deliveries would also elimi-
nate vast waste. According to a published state
ment Secretary of Commerce Redfeld claimed that
"wasteful methods in store deliveries cost the ma
ton So, 900 ,000, 900 year"
1t is the consumer who eventually pays all the
discounts of the higher up. And the logical
remedy for the present leakage in profits is to give
the consumer discount
1t is only through interesting the consumer that
the cash and carry idea be made to work gen.
orally.

Despite the bounty of Americas wheat crop,
there will be serious food problems this winter, and
indeed for years to Authorities say that even
in the best of the world is not more than
sixty days ahead of famine between harvests, and
lin consequence of the drawing of men from the
usual occupations of food producing, large areas of
Europe today are facing starvation" They declare,
moreover, that for at least decade after peace is
restored 1.-The productivity of the United States will
be called to help rehabitate the Allies and the
millions of persons being exploited by Germany.
These conditions present to our country, partic-
uarly to the South, great opportunity and great
obligation. They guarantee for long years to come
ample and enriching markets all the food crops
and food animals the farmer will raise. He need
have no anxiety concerning overproducton. Ihere
will be a demand, pressing demand, for every
bushel of grain and every pound of meat that the
next ten harvestdes can bring forth Much depends,
of course, distribution facilities if the producer
cannot get his commodities to market, the world
wide demand will profit him nothing. But the
Government itself, well the best brains of pr1-
vate enterprise will look after this particular prob
lem; Americas transport service, both domestic and
foreign, will be ncomparably improved by way or
response to- needs. Southern farmers, there
FORE have every incentive to go confidently forward
in the development of their food producing re-
sources. That is the plain way of prosperity ana
progress.
It is the way also of duty. The immediate obli-
CATION of course, is to supply the needs OF our army
and fleet and the scarcely less important needs OF
Allies. Should these be neglected, the war
would be lost. But beyond this stressful war
period lies indefinite future of grim necessities
1t is conservatively reckoned that deaths from
starvation this winter will exceed those the field
of battle. Such is Europe's pitable impoverish-
ment. Such is the terrible gap between the Old
Worlds food supply and demand, gap which only
the Slow fruitful years entirely fill. Does not
fortunate America owe it to humanity to apply her
utmost thrift to foOdsavng, and her utmost energy
and skill to food production?
AS yet have barely begun the scientific ex-
plOitation of resources The progress which
Georgia has made in diversified and efficient farm
ing in recent years, wonderful though it is, merely
points the way to what can be done; and the acre
age under cultivation is slim 1.-THE of that
which can be made to blossom and bear. We can
not do better either for own interests or for
humanitys than to hasten the development of the
goodly resources.
Germany is very willing to give up when there
isn't much left to be given up.
The allies should also see to it that after the
kaiser goes none of his spoils go with him.

FALSE GODS
BY II. Addington Bruce

BY H. Arlington Bruce
n N ONEY, Place and Power are gods to which
NE innumerabe people bow in alteration. They
ANA are the falsest of false gods, and their ia
vors bring in the end only bitterness of heart to
those who most ardently strive for them.
Money, Place and Power gods that have
ruined whole nations. They are the gods to which,
the nineteenth century grew old, Germany gave
herself. How stands it with Germany today?
Nay, how has it stood with Germany ever since
she definitely separated from Truth, Honor and
Ideality and gave herself to the false gods of
Money, Place and Power? Hark to the lament
of clear-seeing German, his cOuntrymen ar
rogantly marched forth to win the mastery of the
world:
where, then, is the great idea, the broad pro-
gram, the illumination of the future which Ger
many represents and which justifes her leader
ship?
1--WE work hard and methodically; we have
become prosperous and ambitious. But have our
advances and achievements in other fields kept
step Herewith?
Were we not in the time of our greatest po-
ltical disunion and economic poverty, more sig
niicant factor in the culture of the world and in
the development of human thought than we are
today?
when they pursued politics; hard-hearted, when
they were masters; awkward and unpublished Wher-
ever they appeared cowardly when it to in
diviGual convictions; not to be depended upon
when they should stand fast; servie, when they
wished to learn; unjust, when they passed judg-
ments anything foreign.
They considered pests, and the richest
and most high-placed among them excite the great
est aversion"
Thus Wilhelm Muehlon, in his sensational
book, THE Vandal of Europe indictment of
Germany and the Germans scathing any
foreigner could pen.
When he poured out his sorrow and his fore
holdings, he stood a solitary figure in war-lusting
Germany. Today there doubtless many other
Germans seeing eye to eye with Muehlon, and bit
terly regretting the moment when Germany let
Money, Place and Power become her guiding gods.
AS Germany has fallen will every nation
fall that puts its faith in these terrible divinitiss
DesOlation will likewise to every and
woman who individually worships them.
They chill the heart to all sublime aspirations.
They blind the eye to goodness beauty and truth.
They dull the to all noble promptings.
All who take their gods Money, Place and
Power go gropngly through life, mere images of
humankind. The mind in them ossifes, the soul
shTives.
There gods so appangly delusive

from their Establishments Pray no less earnestly
that your nation never give allegiance to them.

GIRLS IN UNIFORMITY Frederic j. Haskn

TASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 25.-This rs the
wv first in which women, other than nurs-
w es have uniforms. So far, the effect
is anything but uniform. Fifty-seven varieties OF
women's uniforms, representing every service
able shade and cut, can be counted by careIul
observer at any busy street corner. To explain the
exact points wherein each differs from the others
would overtax any masculine mind, but according
to the woman, the uniform she is wearing is en-
trely different from that of any other organlza-
ton and decidedly the most stylish and suitable OF
the collection
month after the United States entered the
war, twenty official women's uniforms were cata-
logued and the number has increased so rapidly
that those who mastered the mysteries of
army and navy insignia long since have given up
the idea of identifying the womens war togs
Nearly every feminine service organization
has adopted a uniform, not merely to promote
esprit de corps, but because practical dress was
a necessity. If women are to drive and repair au-
tomobiles, make shells, manage canteens near the
front, and bale hay, they must be dressed prop
erly The workers themselves at once realized this
In factories the accepted uniform for the wom-
workers-if it is uniform-consists of a
blouse and overalls, with a cap and goggles, If
necessary. Fly away hair, fluttering ribbons and
frlls are barred a precaution against accidents
On the farm, Overalls and blue blouse accom-
panied by big straw hat instead of the factory
cap. Stray curls and bows do not great i'm
portance here, and the farmerette can make her
self attractive she likes for the edifcation
Women have always baked at the idea of
wearing unbecOming clothes, the type of
clothing all occasions. In planning utility uni
forms for service there has been lengthy ar
gument by blond workers, explaining why
khaki is awful shade" 1t is interesting fact
that young ladies given chance to choose from
several uniform models invariably considered be-
cOmingness important factor and wearing quail
tiles less vital However, the committees who have
evolved the majority of womens uniforms have
unfeelingly insisted colors that do not show
dirt, ankle length skirts, tailored waists and other
businesslike items.
Most of the dresses of canteen workers, motor
drivers and office workers modelled after army
and navy designs. Good and bad points or army
and navy uniforms have become matters for seri-
consideration by women Misunderstanding
committees The soldier who became embarrassed
because young lady stared at him in the street
needlessly concerned, for the critic
only studying the set of his collar and counting the
buttons his coat
Need for uniforms by workers in the field
is apparent; but regarding standardized dress for
clerical forces engaged in war service, there are
varying opinions.
Girl yeomen in both navy and marines are con-
sidered part of the force and uniforms
pecialy designed for them. The dress of the
