During the war I worked hard on the proposition for patriotic reasons. Now, for reasons both per sonal and patriotic, I'm more than ever anxious to waste nothing. My Thrift and War Savings Stamp cards profit by what might be called my shirt tail propaganda, and I'm getting more ingenious steadily.

TREASURY AGENTS NOW ON TRAIL OF
 ", 5. $. SCALPERS
Roundup of Trafflckers Starts Throughout Second Federal
 Reserve District.

Special agents of the United States treasury department are now touring New York state and the twelve north ern counties of New Jersey, compiling reports of activities of trafickers in War Savings Stamps, preparatory to instituting legal action to prevent them from continuing to violate the law. Other agents are assigned to New York city where they are fore ing many dealers to cease their at tempts to get possession of these popular government securities.
 The law regarding possession of War Savings Stamps, passed to pro- tect patriotic men, women and chill dren investors specifically states they are not transferable and that only those obtaining the stamps from duly authorized agents of the War Savings Committee are entitled to go to a post office and redeem them. Nevertheless, interruptions scalpers persistently prevail upon owners to part with both Thrift and War Savings Stamps at figures below what the United States would pay if they were returned to post offices. Many of them attempt to belittle the aims of the United States government by circulating stories that are causing certain of their neighbors to think they should unload these short term discount bonds immediately. Then these harpies either redeem the stamps through dummies or hold them.
 The name, address and nationality of traffickers are carefully recorded by the special agents and data on the dummies who commit perjury when redeeming them is obtained in the several communities where the treas ury representatives are at work. Warning is given to each and every one of the traffickers they are vio- lating the law and that they will hear again from the United States govern ment unless they cease forthwith from trying to get possession of stamps by the unlawful means now being practiced.

ARMY OF WOMEN
 ENLIST FOR THRIFT
Members of Women's organlza- tons Mohllzed to Aid in Ma
 tionai Thrift Campaign.

Coincident with the denohilization of American troops there is being mo bilized throughout the nation another army almost as great in numbers as the A. E. F, Leaders of national wo- mems organizations are being enlisted fin the National Thrift Campaign, and the vast army of women who nre vet erans of two years at various kinds of war work will be placed at the disposal of the Savings Division of the U. s. Treasury.
 In every city and town and village the natural leaders of the women citi- eeas found themselves during the war, and 1t Is to their enthusiastic gen eral- ship that the Food Administration and the Red Cross owe their far-reachlng success. With the new imeptus of the vote the organized club woman be comes still a more important factor. From now on every trained woman and many an untrainsd one will take a personal and active interest In any national movement, especially those which Involve the sBrery and better ment of the home and living condi- tons In general.
 There coaIc be no more useful nor pertinent nor interesting outlet for the well directed energy of the organized women than Thrift nor any greater appeal to their newly awakened sense of economic responsibility in the ad- minIstration of their private as well ns their Official affairs than the interest bearing, safe War Savings Stamp.
 Good housekeeping and thrift have always been synonymous. When the woLran citizen takes hold of her na- tiensl Housekeeping she will apply the doctrine of balanced, intelligent, eco nomicalIy scientific thrift to her new task With the new dignity of a na- tsonAl campaign added to the ancient wisdom of the thrifty woman and a nationwide call to arms for the re- demption Of the American reputation for waste organized American women have answered the challenge. The army is on the march and will not rest uatii " s. s. certificates are us much q part of every household as the per snnial hy-swatter.

Rep. Brewster was asked what woul |

as site for the school were set forth
in much the same manner as at the
