MAKE JOINT SWEAR-OFF
or FOOLISH SPENDING
Some Pieces OF Good Advice as Pos
sibIe keynotes for Coming
Thrift Campaigns.

Here are some of the pieces of good
advice i. B. Franklin, National Di-
rector Of the War Loan Organization,
has given to War Savings Stamp
workers as possible keynotes for thrift
campaigns:
We do not want to make ma
ton of tightwads but we do want
to eliminate the darn fool waste.
Spend wisely and save your
money so that you can go into
business for yourself.
Spend less and pay off the mort
gage or send your boy to college.
Put little joy into saving.
A French housewife can feed a
family on what an American
family wastes.
when a man 'swears off smoking
or ice cream or something like that
he is more apt to make good in his
resolution if he has fellow resolver,
someone else who is undergoing the
same denial with the same purpose in
mind Mr. Franklin said. 1T is a
Joint 'sWearoff This is the thing
we want the American people to do,
make joint swearotf of foolish spend
ing. And of course we want them to
invest the saving in War Savings
Stamps.
I'VE are going to get the joint
sWearoff' idea through the War Saw
ings societies. Each member of So
ciety viii be q War Savings Stamp
buyer and each will want to hold up
his end especially when he knows
that every other member is doing his
share"
This mild compulsion by public
this year take the place of the quota
and allotment system of selling War
Savings Stamps which was used last
year. The w. S. S. buyer is to be
made to want to save as much as he
can, rather than to feel that he must
Franklin said the quota system of
War Savings Stamp sales was not in
use this year.
The national director made it clear
that the appeal is still to patriotism
as we'll as to thrift and self interest
but with the patriotic appeal changed
from that of a battle crisis to that Of
the sturdier and less spectacular 10y
atty of the man who is willing to help
his country under any and all circum-
stances The War Savings Stamps,
he said, are to be continued on sale

important Measures Fail Where
Session Is Talked to Death
BY Senators.
WILSON STANDS PAT
Insists Extra Call Must Await Return
From France-Failure OF Rail APP
preparation May Mean Early
Return of Roads.

Washington, March 5.-The sixty
fifth congress adjourned in the midst
of filibuster by small Republican
group in the senate that killed many
important bills
Among the bills that failed was one
appropriating $750,000,000 for the
railroad administration, without
which, some administration leaders
say, the railroads must be returned to
their owners before the middle OF
April.
GaveIs Tap on Time.
There was no turning back Of clocks.
Democratic leaders realized the Situa-
ton was hopeless and the gavels end
ing the long, great war session and
the Sixty-ffth congress, actually tap
ped at noon.
Just before adjournment President
Wilson, in his capitol office, authorized
final notice to the republicans that
their effort 10 force an immediate eX-
ira session had failed; that he was
unshaken in his determination not to
call congress until his work at the
peace conference was done.
Return of Roads Urged.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee, and Senator Overman Of
North Carolina were among those who
went to the presidents office and
urged that since the republicans had
defeated the essential appropriation
bill the railroads be returned to their
owners forthwith.
After Democratic Leader T. S. Mar
tin had told him the railroad bill could
not pass, the president authorized Mr..
Martin to announce that under no cir
cumstances would he change his plan
to postpone the calling of the new con-
gress until his return from France
The president gave none of his call
ers any intimation of his plans regard
ing the disposition of the railroads.
Some senators advised him to return
them Immediately to private owner
ship, but the president received all
advice without comment.
Marks Democrats Passing.
Adjournment marks the passing Of
democratic control at the capitol. The
congress that expired at noon began
in April, 1917, passed the German war
declaration and it's almost continuous
sessions have been marked by unprec-
edented legislation and controversy
Big bills that failed included both
the army and navy appropriation
measures. The only two important
measures that ran the gauntlet Of the
last 4S hours of flibustering were the
Victory Liberty Loan and the $1,000
$1,000 wheat guaranty bill.
Suffrage Loses Out.
While Senator L. N. Sherman was
speaking, Senator A. A. Jones of New
Mexico sought unanimous consent to
present a favorable report of the
woman suffrage committee on the suf-
frage resolution, but the Illinois sena-
tor blocked his efforts by refusing to
yield the floor.
