THRIFTY Ben franklin
EARNED PLACE ON W.SS|
Made Bequest OF $25,OOO To
Be Used By Young Mar
ried Arificers.'

Philadelphia, Jan. 24-Residents Of
this city realize well why Ben Frank
Inns picture appears on the 1919 W..
S. s.
One item of the versatile printer 5
thrift has gwen many Philadelphians
ready mJney when it was badly need
ed, and now nets the city at large a
handsome little building.
Franklin made a bequest of $4,000
known as the cdr. Franklin Fund for
Loans to Young Married Artificers. "
The bequest was made in 1890, and in
making it, franklin looked 200 years
ahead, estimating what the total would
be in 1890 and 1890.
BY his process of calculation, Frank
lin estimated the fund would be $685.
900 at the end of the first 100 years,
but it fell far short of this figure
reaching but $s9, ,SS3.95.
Several reasons are advanced for the
failure of the fund to reach the amount
Franklin has expected in 1890 but the
principal one is that the "young mar
ried artificers" failed to borrow as oft
en- as he had expected, due probably to
the restrictions. Later the restrictions
were made less drastic in an effort to
get the money out to borrowers, with
the result that less attention was paid
to character and responsibility and fire.
cost of living. The war, of course, has
lost.
Terms Characteristic.
The terms laid down by Franklin
were characteristic. They were dictated
bv sound business Judgment. He de-
creed that the loans should not be more
than go pounds sterling, nor less than
Is pounds. Borrowers were required to
pay esch year interest at 5 per cent to-
gether with 10 per cent of the principal
until the loan was paid off. 1t was with
the expectation that the entire fund
would be kept busy that franklin made
his estimates of what the total would
be in 102 years.
Franklin did not intend the entire
fund to be continued for loans after
1890, but that in that year lO0,00O
pounds be turned over to the city Of
Philadelphia to "bring the waters OF
the Wissahicken creek to the city and
for public improvements, such as eque-
ducts, fortifications, ETC."
In 1907, the board of city trusts,
which was custodian of the Franklin
fund, turned over the money, about
$13S 900 to the Franklin Institute, for
use by the latter institution in its fund
to erect a memorial building on the
new Philadelphia Parkway in memory
of Franklin.

We wanted to begin advertising the Essex as
soon as we had seen it. We knew it would be months
before it would be ready for delivery, but we wanted
everyone to know what kind of car they might
expect.
But the Essex builders have been manufacturing
fine cars for years. Their factory one of the larg
est in the industry. They know that no words of
praise equal III their influence the impression that
the car itself can make. So they said we should not
advertise the Essex until there was an Essex for the
people to see and ride in.

SHOE CONSERVATION

W. II. Kelley, a lumber salesman, of
Omaha, found Neolin Soles 50 tough
and durable that one pair Of soles
served on a second pair Of uppers
after the first pair Of uppers had worn
out in ten months Of hard walking.
And he says, Those same soles will
stand another ten months Of constant
daily wear"
This is unusual service even for
Neolin Soles but Mr.. Kelley's expert
ence should indicate to you a method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
you have to meet. Simply make sure
the new shoes you buy are NeoIin-
soled and have worn shoes repaired
with these soles which are scientifically
made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, Akron. Ohio, who
also make Wingfoot Heels, guaran-
teed to outwear any other heels.

Notes From The House
Of Representatives
! : ! 7 : 4 : : ! < 4 < : < l

representative Jones of Newport is
one of the spellbinders of The house,
at times even quoting poetry. But like
league base ball pitcher, Mr.. Jones
has to wind up before getting into full
delivery. He generally starts his ora
tions pianissinlo and closes with a.
fortissimo passage. Yesterday, in
speaking on the question as to whether
graduates of colleges sholld teach in
graded schools, Mr.. Jones opened up
with the soft pedal. Louder" yelled
half dozen members of the house.
"Never mind, he II get loud soon
enough" remarked Speaker Jones.
Having experienced the high cost of
living in the capital city, even with all
the movies closed, it was whispered
about yesterday that about all of the
stenographers who draw more pay than
the representatives themselves, were
about broke. Two weeks in boarding
houses and at lunch counters had
about exhausted the ready supply of
money. Hence yesterday when the bill
came up appropriating $4,000 for gem
eral expenses, and making an emer-
gency, things began to look a little
brighter around the house. And it has
been cloudy every day the legislature
has been in session excepting the first
day, Jan. 13.
Legislators from the sunshiny coun-
try in the eastern part of the state
now understand why natives of the
Willamette valley are lovingly called
webfeet. 1t has rained steadily on the
lawmakers every day they have been
here with the exception of Jan. 13.
And it has not only rained, but the
precipitation has been heavy with con-
siderably more wind than the old tim
ers approve. To be under about and one
quarter inches of rainfall in two weeks,
the eastern Oregon folks say is just
a little too much.
The women of the state will get
what is coming to them if they will
just leave it to Mrs. Alexander ThomprI
son of The Dalles. Yesterday she intrd-l
duced bill providing that in the em-l
ployment of school teachers, directors
shall not discriminate between male
and female teachers in the way of COM
pensation, providing of course their sue
cessful years of teaching are about
equal. 1t was Mrs. Thompson's minor-
ity report that the house adopted yes

TO SPECIFY SCOUT UNIFORM.

The war department has agreed to detail an officer in the near future ID the Boy Scouts of America to CO., operate in deciding details in the mat ter of uniforms.
 There are many returned army off cers and men taking up the request of the war department to act as scout masters for the troops of boys. Some of these have merely changed the but tons on their uniforms
 The national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America through the chief scout executive, James F. West, makes this announcement in regard to scOutmasters' uniforms:
 "We doubt very much the advisabil- ity of favoring as a permanent pol icy converting army officers uniforms into scoutmasters' uniforms. Those who have had army experience are en- titled to use these uniforms for a Him. ited period at least"

WHAT SCOUTING IS WORTH.

Some scouts drive quite few miles to attend troop meetings.
 Scoutmaster H. H. Kurtz of Troop No. 1 of Locustdale, Pa, says:
 "Only three LOcustdale scouts live within a mile of their headquarters. Many of them live from seven to nine miles away, and they come on wheels or on horseback or in automobiles or they walk.
 "At every meeting there are scouts who, having come by train, must, Ow- ing to poor service, walk back nine miles, and sometimes these boys walk both ways.
 "One patrol leader, in the terrible days of early 1918, walked five miles to the meeting through a sleet storm that was prostrating telegraph poles"

The time will soon be here for those exciting and fascinating excursions to the millinery shop in search of new millinery, of which much is expected. The old millinery axiom that a hat is becoming when one looks better with it on than without it, is a good thing to bear in mind. At the very least we expect hats, like mirrors, to "be to our faults a little blind, and to our vir- tues not unkind." Just how much the right shape and the right colOrs can do to transform a face, is measured often by the long price which a small bit of millinery commands. It is the intangible in millinery that is worth more than anything else-the color harmony, the beautifully balanced lines, the pOise of the hat on the head and its appropriateness, that are worth more than mere material.
 No one understands this quite so well as the woman who has reached middle life, or passed it. She expects her hats to do much for her in the way of enhancing her good points, and designers who specialize successfully in headWear for matrOnS turn fabrics into gold. One of their promising new models is shown at the right of the group of three hats pictured above It is made of black satin and the top of the crown is soft. Narrow,

Scouting has aroused considerable interest at Yale. Thirty-five under graduates are now scOutmasters and assistant scoutmasters of troops in New Haven, Conn.

iOoped silk fringe, very brilliantly black, makes a wide irregular band about the crown and there is a narrow brim with lines that flow in easy curves about the head.
 The hat at the left, for a girl of ten or more, makes a picture on the head that boasts soft Curls. Its crown is of felt in sections joined in seams that are outlined with stitches of wool yarn and the rolling brim is also of yarn, apparently CrOcheted into shape. At the base of each seam in the crown pair of pert little leaves support a diminutive apple. Almost any little girl will look well in this picturesque hat.
 The hat at the bottom of the picture made for young woman, is a dresSy affair of silver tissue with an odd trim ming twining about the crown. The trimming is likely to be made of twist ed ribbon with a fancy edge, but might be of silver tissue or geOrgette. The maker of trimmings is no respeCter of fabrics, taking anything that is with in reach and fashiOning it into some thing new and strange and nearly al- ways beautiful.

A force of Reading (Pa). scouts took in hand fire that broke out on Mount Penn and saved trees they had been the custodians of for several years.
 An aged lady, i'll and alone, was cared for by boy scouts of Troop No. Al in Memphis, Tenn, who also pre- pared her meals, cleaned house, etc.
