STARTED ON ROAD TO THRIFT

As an evidence of the interest which
is becoming more universal through
out the nation, the example Of the
War Savings Society of the Cudahy
Packing Company In Los Angeles, Cal,
is an interesting commentary on the
enthusiasm of members of such socie
ties.
Proud of its distinction of being the
first War Savings Society to be or
ganized on the Pacific Coast, its mem
bers are making elaborate plans to
exceed their splendid record Of sales
last year, when they purchased more
than $4,000 of stamps. They are en-
deavoring to eclipse this record and
boost to still greater degree the
thrift campaign among the city's grow
ing population.
Something of the enthusiasm of its
members may be noted from the fol
lowing excerpts of letter to Score
tary of Treasury Carter Glass from W
J. Carlisle, an active thrift booster in
the society.
+We are The hrst permanent society
to be formed on the coast" writes Mr.
Carlisle, land we are all very proud
of this honor We are now working on
a plan which we hope will exceed the
sale of Stamps of last year. and al
ways have before us the word Thrift.
and can assure you we have started
quite "a few on the road to Thrift"

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train-A continuous ovation along the
Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf of the League
Of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city Of Los Angeles. went
wild intits enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy Of the League, and 1t was
In that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California's former
governor, now her United States sena-
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920, had before the ar
rival OF President Wilson, convinced
great number of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
not good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because of It,,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by Joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for asserting to
the possession by Japan Of the PENN
sula of Shan Tung in China.

As far back as the first winter Of
the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
a sanitary commission that effective
ly checked the scourge Of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Red Cross was able, in
August, 1917 to send full commits
sion that carried, on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi-
tails were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs re-
deem their land to productivity, and,
not least, measures undertaken for the
succor of the children. The terrible
condition into which these helpless vic
tins of the war had fallen is well
portrayed by this photograph OF a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
and expression of hopeless dismay
that were all she possessed when the
Red Cross came.

WAR SAVINGS
SOCIETIES GROWING
IN THIS DISTRICT
849,315 Enrolled in Thrift Move
ment Promoted by U. S.
Treasury.

There were S49,315 enrolled MEM
bers of War Savings Societies In New
York City, New York State and the
twelve northern counties of New )Jer-
sey on June 81, last, all staunch adj
vocates of thrift and every one,a regu-
lar purchaser of War Savings Stamps,
according to announcement by the War
Savings Committee.
This is considered by officials direct
ing the thrift campaign as an excellent
showing. 1t proves that regardless of
the ending of the war the habitsof reg
ular saving has become popular and
that War Savings Stamps are looked
upon favorably. The investors who
have Joined societies are from all
walks of life and include hundreds CT
thousands of men, women and children.
Many of them buy merely a thrift
stampsa month; some purchase SO or
$50 worth of War Savings Stamps each
week, but all of them are regular saw
ers, intent upon putting certain sums
of money into these Government Sc
curities
In making public the results OF the
War Savings Committees efforts to
interest people in regular savings, 1T
was stated that the S49,315 savers are
enrolled in 1871 War Savings Socie-
ties.
OF the 1887 War Savings Societies
in existence on June 81, 1919, .4.353
were in New York City.
New York State (outside Of New
York City, had 1862 societies. with 81
927 members, on June 81. 1t was stat
ed that hundreds of schools where chill
dren have taken up the idea of saving
through the use of Penny School Saw
ings Books, have not formally organ
lied War Savings Societies. There are
many thousands of regular investors
in Thrift Stamps, therefore, who are
not considered In the report of MEM
bers of War Savings Societies in this
portion of the Second Federal Reserve
District.
The twelve northern counties Of New
Jersey are credited with 296, 105 mem
pers of War Savings Societies and with
2,472 different Societies.

USING old SHIRTS
FOR new NEEDS
A Wartime Activity That Helped
Materially and Is Now Wig
orouSly Pursued.

An old custom, regenerated and
actively pursued during the stormy
DAYS of the war, that has blossomed
forth, particularly in rural districts,
and bids fair to occupy a dignified
place in domestic affairs is the utiliza-
ton of the tails of shirts. These cast
off garment ends find many more uses
today than they did before the war.
Careful housekeepers, of course,
always have utilized the tail Of the
shirt-for busters, cleaning clothes,
patching, bandages, cut fingers, carpet
rags if they lived in the country. But
wartime conditions, relief societies,
etc., have taught the average woman
many new things in regard to the shirt
tall, so long and often held to con-
tumely or coldly ignored.
Many Belgian, Serbian, French and
Armenian youngsters are comfortably
clad in skirts, underwear, aprons, all
sorts of garments made from the cast
off shirts of American citizens. And
other American citizens, Of opposite
gender, having learned to make use of
the cast-off shirt are occasionally
tempted to make use of shirts not
properly classified, at least by their
late owners, as such.
Silk shirt pieces are made into out
ing hats, vestees, neckties and collars,
Linen shirts contribute handkerchiefs
made from tail pieces, and, if of the
plated or pin-tucked bosom variety,
charming vestees for new feminine
suits. Good, strong shirts are turned
into aprons, while two or three alike
may be made into summer suits for
little children. Sofa and porch pill
lows, rag rugs, rompers, wash cloths,
all sorts of nice things are made from
used shirts, nowadays, and more ways
and means of shirt usefulness are be-
ing discovered every day.

But Mr.. Wilson, with clear logic and
with compelling eloquence, answered
to the entire satisfaction Of Califor-
MAS people every objection which
Senator johnson had made to the
League. And thousands of the states
citizens deserted the Johnson stand
ard Immediately and rallied to the sup
port Of the president. More than that,
they came forward and said, I'VE

johnson know that they were no

volume OF public opinion which reach
ed him, that the senator almost i'm
medhtely abandoned his tour. The
Shan Tung question, because OF the
.anti-Japanese feeling which undoubted-
" exists along the Pacific coast was
the most serious which the president
had to answer. He explained to the
people that he had been powerless to
prevent the rich peninsula from being
given to Japan. England and France,
through secret treaty, had promised
1t to Japan for entering the war and
remaining in It. That treaty had to
be carried out. Anyway it was not
China that was losing Shan Tung, but
Germany, which had seized the terri
tory from China in 1898 and held 1t
ever since. Japan had promised, the
president explained, to return Shan
lTung as. soon as the peace treaty was
ratified and 1t was only through the
ratification Of the treaty with the
League OF Nations inclusion, that
China could ever expect to get her
former property back. And she surely
would get 1t back. he declared, through
the ratification Of the League. There

Four Companies of Fighting Fourth to Be Formed
 in Birmingham

Acting upon the authority of tele- from Adjutant General Moon at Mont gomery. authorizing him to proceed with the organization of four companies of na- tional guardsmen, a meeting was held by several former national guard officers a. o'clock yesterday afternoon in room 22i of the Brown-Narx building. for the purpose of formulating the plans to carry out the order
 It is proposed to reorganize Companies G, K H and I of the Fourth Alabama infantry regiment. in view of their val lent services in both the Spanish-Amer- ican and the recent worlds war. Pre- paratory to enlisting the men, Maj. Ike Cole has gone to Montgomery for enlist ment blanks to complete the organiza- ton. The size of the companies is linn ited to three officers and 65 enlisted men. The term of enlistment will be for six years, three active and three in reserve.
 A committee was appointed to confer with the different clubs and leading business men of the city to induce them to lend their assistance in the organiza- ton of the companies. Acquisitions have already been sent in to the quartermas- ter for the necessary equipment for the men, and the officers hope that enough interest will be taken in further develop ments to insure a sufficient number of enlisted men before it is too late to se- cure the federal appropriation by July l.
 It was also deemed necessary to con fer with the parties at the head of the new 100000 memorial hall, which is to be erected in Birmingham in memory of Alabama fallen heroes in France, and secure if possible the construction of an armory within the hall. In view of the fact that the rent paid by the govern ment for an armory would help in the upkeep of the hall, it was thought that it might be possible to have the armory there.
 Among the recently returned overseas officers present at the meeting were Capt. Dick Kelly and Capt Lacey Ed mundson, both formerly of the 1s7th in fantry.

MURPHY TO AID IN
 EMPLOYMENT WORK
Colonel Woods Makes Formal An- nouncement of Plans Under Way
 By National Advisory Council

Washington, June 14-(SpeciaD.-Capt Matt Murphy of Birmingham, Ala. it is announced today by Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war. and charged with the task of finding em- ployment for ex-service men, has been appointed as the Birmingham represent ative of the National Advisory commit tee. The function of this committee is to bring ex-soldiers and sailors into con- tact with the kind of jobs that they are fitted for, and desire to obtain. It will erdeavor in every case to put men where their military training and their previous experience will best fit them.
 The committee is composed of distir- guished citizens in leading cities all over the country, who have also been mem- bers of the military establishment of the United States during the great war, and have seen service overseas. Because of their sympathetic attitude towards other men who have also been in the service, and their great industrial experience these men will be of the greatestSvalue in solving the problem of unemployment among discharged soldiers and sailors.
 Careful attention." says Colonel Woods, twill have to be paid'to the fact that the men who are coming back from the military and naval service feel that they are physically and mentally more valuable than they were before They are therefore expecting higher pay and better opportunities in the work that they are trying to obtain. To some per sons this has seemed an unfortunate at- titude on the part of the soldiers. but most employers are of the opinion that it is a healthy sign because it will tend to the speedy readjustment and rapid promotion of the men who are now com
 ing back to civilian life.''
 Colonel Woods also reports that the employment problem is rapidly approach ing normal proportions. Our greatest problem now" he says, seems to be less that of finding jobs for soldiers than of getting the soldier in connection with the job. Practically all employers have stated, and are now recording them selves officially to that effect, that they will gladly take back their old men. From what we learn, further, they are taking them back at prevailing wa~es. and not at the same pay they received before the war. Tn many cases we have heard that employers are gvilg them full credit for time spent in tn. service, towards seniority in the business, com panv iRsurance benefits. etc.
