WAR TAUGHT NATION
THE SAVING HABIT
Some 10000 900 Bond holders In America and Small Inve
tors Show Big Increase.

One of the things which this coun-
try will bring out Of the war Is an in
creased inte rest in securities by peo-
pie who never before considered sucn
investment says II. n. Windsor in
the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
small investor formerly thought OF
bonds and stocks only in terms OF
thousands. wholly beyond his reach,
and as entirely belonging to banks
and men of wealth. The war savings
stamps. and the government bonds of
$50 denominations up, have not only
encouraged thrift, but have opened
the eyes Of the multitude to the fact
that to be bond owner does not re-
uuire a kings ransom, Now we have
some 10000. 600 hondholders and
where formerly only one person In
seven was thrifty. now five out or
every seven are savers. We do no,
measure up to the stern thriftness OF
the French, who, by extreme economy
paid off the war indemnity which the
Franco Prussian war occasioned, In
an incredibly short time. But proper
tionately we have made a good start.
for we have from the beginning been
a nation of wholesale MASTERS because
our resources OF every kind were so
enormous. Some were even ashamed
to save and thought il smart TO spend
lavishly as fast as they earned. This
condition permeated the entire land.
We may we'll take genuine pride in a
good start on the road to sound COM
mon sense and thrift. The very act
of saving increases seif-respect. The
fiowery speeches of a thousand ora
tors In more than a century are for
gotten, while these woros of wisdom
by Benjamin Franklin live on:
Save a little of thy income. and
thy hidebound pocket will soon begin
to thrive and thou wilt never cry
again with an empty stomach. neither
will creditors insult thee. nor want
Cypress. nor hunger bite. nor will max
edness freeze thee. The whole hemi-
sphere will shine brighter. and pleas
ure spring up in evry corner OF thy
heart.
Remember that money is OF pro-
life, generating nature. Money can
bege. money and its offspring can be-
get more. and so on. Five shillings

and threepence. and so on ,,fl IT be-

pictures. thrown on a screen by a
stereopticon.
Through inadvertence the wrong
set of slides were sent for last nights
talk, which was to have been on the
birth OF the Saviour. Those depicting
that portion OF Christ's life between
the periods OF Palm Sunday TO His be-
trayal by Judas. one of His disciples,
were of necessity, used.
DIR. Bowie's explanation of each
picture, of which there were perhaps
two score, and many of which were
familiar TO virtually everyone in the
audience. was exhaustive and en-
Tightening. Several of the illustra-
tioons had to do with the parallels.
Jerasulem from the entry of Christ
down to the present time. as late as
Allenby's recent entry into the famous
biblical city, was shown.
Practically every seat was taken
and much interest was shown in the

az adopted by common council, VIII be
taken up for consideration.
The Roden-Jones resolution. the

met with much opposition by various

II is quite likely that the members OF
the board will indulge in much discus
sion before action lis taken.
There Is much opposition to the
plan OF distribution of the fund. and
this point may be fully discussed and

impression that, in order to push the

SO mucn curiosity was aroused by

Even though there are as many sui

a very special sort of sultan, 1t APP

it's former owner:
Sultan Okwawa was sort Of Mo-

that the nation which assumes sou

remains, will be received with great

removal Of the skull sheds side
light upon the long arm or German
propaganda, reaching even into dark

The German government contrib

made scientific study of the Ger

that the explorers were not wholly

CHARLOTTESVILLE GIRL
/ GIVES LIFE FOR CAUSE
Call of Country Takes Big Toll o
Americas Young Womanhood.

vS~-s-~~A~~-~>'~~'
Responding to the call of the
country with the same zeal that sent
their brothers smashing through the
Hindenburg line the thousands OF
American nurses who entered the war
services wrote one OF the most giori-
Gus pages of the grim story Of the
world war. In camp, on the trans
ports, just behind the firing line ana
in the hospitals, they toiled, with
amazing courage and untiringly for
the men broken in battle or stricken
with the plaques that follow IN the
wake of war. All won the incalcu-
liable affection and gratitude of the
soldiers and those waits of war, the
refugees, some the decorations of ad-
miring governments, but scores palu
for their devotion with their lives.
A scared constellation of one hun
bred and eightyfour gold stars on the
Iservice flag of the American Red
Cross department of nursing at Wash
ington. is the silent token of the SUI
preme sacrifice made by that num-
Der of American nurses The record
Is still incomplete and when this roll
Of honor is finally closed 1t is prob
able that the names OF fully two
hundred American women who have
laid their lives on the altar of freedom
will have been inscribed upon it.
Death came to American nurses In
many forms. Striving against almost
hopeless odds to check the epidemic OF
influenza that swept over the training
camps in this country last fall. nearly
a hundred nurses themselves sue
cumbed to the scourge- Many more
were victims OF the disease when it
ragged in the war zone. Ministering
to the wounded in France other
American nurses were killed by Hun
lruthlessness in airplane raids.
But the American nurse who gave
her life to the cause of Liberty did
not die in vain. Into the shadowy be-
yond there went with her the prayers
and murmurs OF gratitude OF those
she succored. High military leaders
gave their word of praise and graft
tude for faithfullness that never falt-
cred, while in homes saddened by the
loss of the loved one there is imper-
ishable pride.
