HABITS OF THRIFT
TAUGHT IN SCHOOL

A new sort of primer is going to
be read and studied in every public
school in the state of Oregon. 1t is
the governments primer on the
thrift campaign to promote habits of
thrift through the sale of thrift
stamps and war savings stamps to
raise two billion dollars to help carry
on the war. State Superintendent J..
A. Churchill is making arrangements
to carry on this work, realizing as he
does the value of the inculcation of
the virtues of thrift into the hearts
and minds of young people as a char
acter builder.
Moreover, the much priced
achievement pins given to the boys
and girls for their work in the vari-
Gus club activities of their schools
are to be awarded this year to those
boys and girls who sell $50 worth of
thrift stamps.
The aims of the government in the
thrift campaign are three-fold: The
awakening OF war consciousness,
the inculcation of the principles Of
thrift as national characteristic,
and the raising of funds for war pur-

BORROWED MONEY
RETURNED HERE

Most of the money advanced by
the United States to the nations in
Europe engaged in war with Ger
many is spent in this country for the
products of our farms, mines and fac
tories.
Under the arrangement made by
the secretary of the treasury and ap-
proved by the president, these allied
governments communicate their re-
quirements for materials and sup
plies to a United States commission
through their own designated pur-
chasing agents in this country and
the commission then renders its best
efforts to obtain advanta geous terms
which are submitted to the purchas-
ing agents.
By these means competitive bid
ding against the other allies and
against the United States is avoided
and the same terms and the same
treatment our own government re-
ceives is accorded to our allies.
1t is expressly stipulated that no
obligation or liability upon the
United States shall be created by this
arrangement. Our government is
simply lending its assistance TO our
allies in the spending here OF the
money we loaned them. The protec-
tion thus granted them is deserved,
for they are doing the work which,
IL they do not do, must be done by
America at the expense of American
lives and American money.

CRIME INCREASES
GREATLY IN BERLIN
Vorwaerts, Berlin Socialist Newspaper
Attempts to Analyze the Cause Of
Depravity.

NEW YORK, August 9, by The As
ISOLATED Press-War has caused an in
crease of crime and depravity among
the German people, according to an
analysis published by the Berlin Vor-
waerts. The paper recalls that at the
beginning of the war, prophets spoke of
'Fsteel bath in the waters of which
the morals of the German people
would recuperate.
"Since August 4, 1914 saws the
Vorwaerts, eve have allowed the bless
ings of this bath to act on us with
steadily increasing vigor and the re-
suit is n moral condition of health of
the German people of which the com
pilations of criminal statistics give con
vincing reports. These tell rs of the
steadily increasing number of crimes
of brutality, and serious crimes against
property and a glance at any newspaper
confirms the horribly increasing mum
Der of robberies and burglaries in the
cities and as well as in rural districts.
Systematically organized and meth0di-
eally operating bands of robbers men

Specialize citizens.
"Also honesty Of the latter has suf-
fered a perccptible crack and here
the influence Of the steel bath is di-
rcctly proved We do not fear that we
are disclosing any state-endangering
secret wheR we announce the fact that
at present there probably are few Ger
man subjects left who have not in some
more or less serious manner violated the
existing government deerecs and laws
and made themselves liable to punish

The Vorwaerts then cites the in
stances of the citizen, who on Sundays

of the owner of large estate, whose
/ chickens clay eggs only for a mark
apiece, of the wife of the first licuten-
ant who sells the food articles received
| from her husband at the front at fancy
/ prices and the army of usurers, secret
traders and forgers.
/ The Yorwaerts then dwells on the ef-
fects of the steel bath on the growing
generation and cites complaints by the
| clergy and teachers TO show that de-
pravity is one of It's results.
The paper calls attention to what it
describes as the ''fruits of tho best
education as shown during the Radeek-
/ Berkstorff libel case. 1T adds: When
refined cavaliers Of the most prominent
society apply the most common names
to each other and box each other 5 cars
then no one has the right TO claim for
ono certain class, dcceney and we'll
behavior.
''The steel bath exerts its effects on

of the prolttariat as we'll as over the
playroom in the family of the count,
