of whom she is SO proud is Lieut..
Commander A. c. Read. who was first
to make the overseas flight and land
in safety on the Azores.
Some confusion as to the mother
of the victorious Navy flyer was
caused by published dispatch from
Los Angeles, in which a Mrs. G. q.
Brooks. aged seventy-three. living in
Sawtelle, Calf, was quoted as re-
joicing over the success of Lieut..
Commander Read and claiming him
as her son. She was quoted as say
ing she had dreamed of him flying
ahead of the others and landing in
safety.
The real mother here in Washing
ton. never heard of the Mrs. Brooks
in Los Angeles. and says that Lieut..
Commander Read never was in Cali
fornia in his life.
Mrs Mary Elizabeth Read has lived
in Washington for about five years,
and for the last five months, up to the
time of his leaving for the overseas
wife have been living with her. She
came here from suburb Of Boston.
Mass. Her husband, the father of the
Navy hero aviator, was a minister
and it was while he was preaching in
New Hampshire that the present ma
val officer was born
"Of course ] knew he was going to
make the flight, and l felt certain ne
would get across all right. He was SC
confident himself that he imbued me
with the same, trust. He babe me
goodbye before he left. l have nos
worried about him, but I was relieved
just the same to hear that he had
reached his goal in safety. Natural,
l am delighted that he made such a
good record" the mother said today.
Lieut.. Commander Read entered the
Naval Academy at sixteen and was
graduated at twenty. He has been
in the Navy ever since-about fifteen
years.

down the swelling in my hands as
much as possible. I was in so much
pain that l was all bent over and ha
to use a can in order to get about
My stomach was a very bad con-
dition, too, and what I would eat SEEM
ed to lump up badly and lay in the pit
of my stomach and ferment. would
bloat UP terribly with gas and have
such depressed feelings in my chest
and around my heart that it was diff
ficult for me to get my breath. My
appetite was very poor-thare were
many things l couldn't eat at all-and
at times was very dizzy couldn't
get any sound sleep, had fallen off
great deal in weight and just felt
miserable most all the time. "When
l read and heard so much about Tan
lac l made up my mind to try it and
was the wisest decision l ever made.
By the time I had finished my third
bottle l discarded my cane and could
eat what I wanted without the least
trouble afterwards. After. taking five
bottles the rheumatism was gone en-
tirely and l could walk as well as l
ever could, and l also found that l
had gained fifteen pounds in weight.

ORGANIZATION UNDER WAY

Directions for the organization of
War Savings Societies under the Unit
ed States treasury plan in every in
dustrial plant in tbs Ninth Federal
Reserve district have been sent to all
county directors of War Savings. In
many counties the work is already
under way. In these the county chair
men are now to complete the work
with all speed by forming War Saw
;ngs Societies in the remaining indus
tries. M. E. Harrison, district direc-
tor of War Savings, has urged county
chairmen in the other counties to
start forming societies at once.
A force of specially trained organ
izers of War Savings Societies is now
busy forming societies in the larger
cities of the Ninth district AS soon
as that has been done these expert
enced men will be at liberty to finish
the work of organizing industries in all
other counties.
The plan under which War Savings
Societies are being formed is simple.
A meeting is called in the plant dur
ing which the Importance of thrift and
investment in War Savings Stamps is
explained to all employees. Those
willing to take part, usually everyone,
are then asked to sign membership
pledge, sometimes promising to buy a
fixed amount of stamps weekly or
merely to buy stamps. A president
of the society is appointed and one or
more secretaries named The secre-
| taries each have fixed number OF per-
sons on whom they call each payday,
giving them an opportunity to buy
| Thrift stamps or War Savings stamps.
1t is desirable to have plenty Of
secretaries, according to Ray G. Teus-
cher, executive secretary of the dis
trict War Savings Organization. The
! secretary who has but 15 employees
to call on each week is more likely
| to finish his work than the one with
! 80 on his list. If there are 80 EN-
ployees two secretaries should be
named so that every Garner may be
! given chance to became a saver
through investment in War Savings
stamps or Thrift stamps.
"The Ninth Federal Reserve district
has responded 100 per cent or better
to every national effort and We pur
pose to do the same this time," Direc
tor Harrison said yesterday. 1--WE are
using Minneapolis as model and
i there is every indication that every In
dustry in that city will have one OF
more War Savings Societies by Angus,
i 1. st. Paul and Duluth are to be or
ganized with the same thoroughness
! and by fall we intend to attain thu
same result in every Ninth distric
county. Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Montana, western Wisconsin
and northern Michigan are all to re
ceive the same thorough attention"

children that the grenade savings
banks they are to receive are real
war trophies, even If they have been
made over a little. Hundreds OF
thousands of them were all packed
ready for shipment to Europe when
the armistice was signed. They stood
around for long time and war depart
ment officials got tired of seeing them,
they were so darned explosive and
everything Then q treasury depart
nrent man got the idea of removing the
powder and caps and remaking them
into saving banks. 49," said Mr..
Harrison, every bank is real trophy
of war and if the war had continued
each one would have exploded in
some enemy trench or dugout.
What is thought about the hand
grenade savings bank plan by banks
of the country districts was proved
three days after first announcement
was sent out. Orders, accompanied
by cash, for more than $4,000 of the
grenades were received from banks
in a single morning. And all these
are to be given to children as soon
as they save for and buy one War
Savings stamp. In all, War Savings
headquarters expects that at least
100000 of the grenades will be dis
tributed.
That will represent the neat saving
of more than 100000 by Ninth dis
trict children alone between now and
the time school stars5.
Children who are members of school
savings societies may go to banks
when school opens and get certifl-
cate showing how much they have
saved during the summer. They will
be credited with the amount in their
standing in their schoolroom War
Savings Society.

Sc'1ool children throughout every
part of the Ninth Federal Reserve
district are to be given the chance
this summer to win as a war trophy
an actual hand grenade, made for
fighting purposes At the same time
they will receive direct and practical
lesson in thrift and prosperity under
the plan which has been evolved by
M. E. Harrison, director of the dis
trict War Savings Organization and
his aides.
The grenades, in accordance with
the idea Of a thrifty soul in Washing
ton who was unwilling to see so
much good material go to waste after
fighting stopped, have been made into
savings banks. Just slot cut at the
top and a screw inserted at the bot
tom, and presto-the .omb that was
to have clinched things in tight trench
and dugout fighting has become a
weapon against the forces of extrava-
[4ance.
The grenades are being bought from
the treasury department by banks
everywhere in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota. Montana and the Mich

The disorganization of the merchant
service through sailors deserving the

to save regularly, to put his savings
in the grenade, and, when it is full,
to bring the grenade to the bank
which loaned it to him and to buy
Thrift or War Savings Stamps from
that bank with the contents.
The reward of the child who Dor
rows the little grenade bank and saves
Systematically will be twofold, for he
will receive the grenade as his own
property as soon as he has saved
enough to buy one of the War Savings
Stamps of SIS maturity value, and at
the same time he will be receiving
training in the habit which will be
more valuable to him in later life
than any other.

of this district to go to the bank their

there and borrow hand grenade saw

tive secretary of the War Savings Or
ganization said yesterday. I'VE want
every child to realize that by saving
now he is placing himself on the high
way to prosperity and independence in
later life. At the same time he is
proving himself, or she is proving
herself, to be little patriot, the kind
of an American we are proud OF
such an American as the whole world
is praising today.
Banks of the district are purchas
ing the grenades freely. The cost te
them is but few cents each and they
can AFFORD to give them to the chile
who saves and buys a War Savings
Stamp, for it is probable that eacn cniie
will grow up to become steady pa
tron of that bank. II the thrift habi
takes hold of him he will be so thank
full in later life that he will be likely

so great favor as to start him right
