A Crop of ''Baby Financiers"
From the Thrift Campaigns

zone Of the most marvellous results
Of these thrift and loan campaigns" says
Mr.. Schenck, "is not only the fact that
it has taught women in concrete way
the use of banks to invest even small
amounts, but that they have been made
so intensely aware of these benefits that
they are in turn teaching their children.
When pass through the bank it is far
from unusual case to find really tiny
boys and girls buying thrift stamps and
turning these into War Savings Stamps
and at the same time collecting the in
terest due on the Liberty bond cor-
pons They are baby financiers.
"It is impossible to realize the ire
mendous and cumulative effect that this
education of thrift will have on the
growing and the coming generations.
Not only will it benefit the individual,
but it means stronger and better
government with firm and unshakable
prosperity
The fifth and last Liberty Loan cam
paign opens tomorrow morning. The
record of our women in the previous
campaigns is something of which we may
well be proud. Seven hundred thousand
women have done volunteer work in the
four campaigns, 90 per cent of the bonds
sold in these campaigns were bought by
women and 33 g per cent of them were
sold by women. And we are going to
keep up to our standard in this the last
and greatest of them all; we are going
to finish up our job and go out in a
burst OF glory. Remember the men from
overseas are watching Let ua show
them how much in actual dollars and
cents we prize their victory. inpesH

The llhcrty Loans havo been II
wonderful education to the women Of
tho country. Through them tho women
have como to understand that even tho
smallest amount of savings--that which
formerly rcposcd in the family's ginger
JAR or was hidden in the toe Of an old
stocking-could be invested and draw in
tcrest. The Liberty Loan campaigns
have brought forth from their hiding
places the savings of many timid soul
who had never heretofore dared trust
her hard-earned nest egg to the care of
a bank, an institution of which she was
totally ignorant and of which she stood

feeling Of awe with which she had for

has become a regular deposltor

houses have within tho last year opened
special departments for women deposl

The shN httle rerson who dreaded a
visit to her hank almost az she dreaded
visit to her dentist has practically
vanished from the face of the land, and
women enter those institutions to-day
with no moro trepidaton than they

Riding horseback and swimming are

as to the affairs of the world far more

Just the other night she entertained
at dinner for Godowsky at which were
gathered some of the most famous peo-

pianist played for her, watching and ap-

vibrations as she sat with her fingers on

what then? Will these women suddenly
return to their prewar over-busyness
with trivial occupations? No. Then is
the time that they will reap their har-
vest. They have sown by planning, by
managing, by studying efficiency, and
they will reap the benefit from all these
good works, their war time experiences,
when peace finally comes.

Even among men who made
successful business of joking in
the face of horror and INVITING

spicuous. The story of his uncon-
scious heroism carried far, and
when Mr.. Dawson, as head of the
Red Cross, came to visit the hos
pital, he asked to meet Filippo.
They talked together a while and

could not give enough of either.
In due course this soldier came
home to America and went to q
military hospital in Baltimore. He
found his father dying of cancer
and his mother feeble and dis
traught with anxiety. Their COM
petence had been exhausted in
meeting such unforeseen disaster,
and out of the depths of these af-
hictions he wrote to the Red Cross
expressing his sorrow that he
could not keep his promise, since
his savings must go to his parents

"well fixed," and that he himself
had some savings which would not
be needed now, since a military
hospital would be his home for the
rest of his days, so he proposed to
give his money to the Red Cross.
Mr.. Dawson himself suffered
from temporary blindness for
few minutes, but the gift was a
royal one and could only be
accepted as offered. A picture of

them on to victory. Let us make most of
this opportunity to show them at first

Editor News-Times,
City.
Dear Sir: Sundays News-Times.
under the heading General News of
Mishawaka." contains an article.
Sim Fein Features Mayor Gaylor,
which to say the least, is an insidi-
Gus insult TO the character of the
Irish people
AS there is no signature TO II, II
looks as though il was therein with
the approval of the city editor and
though the article charges the Sim
Feiners with being prO-German and
anti-Am erican. yet il is but few
days ago. since the News-Times in
an editorial. quoted ex-Minister
Gerard as stating that but % OF the
1000 Irish prisoners yielded 10 Ger
man Influences and we have the as
surance Of the lord lieutenant of
Ireland. that the Sim Fem move
ment was purely Irish and devoid
OF German intrigue.
1t is the same lack of truth In the
statement that Sim Feiners assault
ed American soldiers in Cork. The
truth is that a working girl of
Queenstown, who had gone walking
with an American marine one even
ing was found the next morning "
ing drugged and naked in the park
and when the brother Of the girl
met the marine he attacked him
with his fists and the marines and
Irish lads taking sides. the affair
ended in a general street fight. No
wonder Pres't De Valera declared
he had no apologies TO make for
these Irish lads accused of attacking
American marines, especially when
similar incidents have occurred in
Paris and London, without exciting
undue comment.
1t is the same in quoting Rev.
Canon Walsh. The opinion or one
priest is put forward and nothing
said Of almost the whole Hierarchy
OF Ireland, who in a signed state
ment supported the attitude of the
Sim Fein movement in opposing
consumption which would have en-
phasized the subsection of the Irish
people
Let us be fair, one with another
and neither try to befog nor cloud
the question at issue. and when we
find q subject people seeking the
same kind Of political and CONNER
cial freedom that we in America so
much prize and enjoy. let us at least
give their representatives courte-
Gus and respectful hearing.
Respectfully yours,
