HOUSE DRYS WANT HOME
CLAUSE STRICKEN OUT

Washington, July PA fight to

house by the prohibition forces.
This was made known by members
who declared the bill as now framed

enough wines and liquors to last them
the rest Of their lives. There was no
statement from Chairman Volstead
Of the judiciary committee, in charge
of the dry fight on the floor, as to
whether he would accept an amend
ment to this effect The radicals said
frankly they had little hope Of chang
ing the bill in this respect without
the consent of the committee chair
man.
The general view, however. was
that the house had gone about as far
as conservatives thought wise with
drastic provisions. For the past week
many prohibitionists have been urg-
ing elimination Of certain severe re-
strictions. without success Some Of
them said today their right of home

EASY TO SAVE

BY the same token that the best way
to have anything is do 1t yourself. the
best way to get ahead In the world
is save regularly and invest wisely.
Your children may be buying Thrift

quarters they. are able to save won't
buy a new automobile or . home or a
cultivator. The money to do that will
not be saved unless you saw II.

COMBAT WITH THEIR HEADS
oirafes Have Distinctly Peculiar
Method Of Settling Differepees That
Arise Among Themselves

While the giraffe can hardly be
classed among the fierce duelists of
the animal world. yet animals Of this
species are known to have their com
bats like their more ferocious fellows.
The long-nccked beast has an original
and curious method OF fighting. 1t has
neither claws nor beak nor sharp teeth
with which TO defend or attack, so
When IL Is out OF temper with one OF
It's kind II does not dy In the face of
Providence by trying to disembowel its
adversary, as a rhinoceros might, or
tear II, as tiger would. On the con-
trary, the giraffe. knowing that Il has
been provided by nature with a long
and pliable neck, terminating In n very
solid head, uses the upper part Of
Itself like a fail, and, swinging Its
neck around and around in way that
does Immense credit 10 It's organiza-
ton. brings its head down at each
swing with thump on its antagonist.
The other combatant uses precisely
the same tactics. and the two animals,
planting themselves as firmly as DOS.
sible. by stretching out on all foNr legs
to the utmost, stand opposite to each
other hammering away with their
heads until enc or the other has had
enough
The head Of the giraffe is furnished
with two stumpy. hornlike processes,
so that the animals when at this ham
mer-and-tongs mode OF warfare, re-
mind the spectator somewhat Of two

BISHOP ALONE SAW GHOST
Hoax Cleverly Carried Out by Noted
Ecclesiastic Is Recalled by
British Paper.

The great Bishop Wilbertorce was
staying at great country house. AS
he took his hostess down to dinner he
pies following, and last of all an &c.
clesiastic in monks costume who
was strange to him.
He remarked to his hostess, IL see
you are not superstitious about sitting
down thirteen to a table"
His hostess went deadly white, and
said, For heavens sake say nothing ~
Sitting down, he noticed that only
twelve seats had been placed, and q
moment after saw the supposed monk
standing behind the hosts chair. 1t
was not long before he realized that
no one but he saw the figure. After
dinner the host explained that the
monk was an apparition which none
but the head of the family, in each
generation. had ever seen. and that it's
appearance always foretold disaster
The next day the same figure ap-
peared TO the bishop in the garden and
explained that in life he had been con-
fessor to a pre-RefcTmation. head Of
the family and had been reading q
written confession from penitent.
Being suddenly called away he had
slipped the confession into the volume
OF the Fathers he was reading. He
had died suddenly and could not rest
for fear II should be found and the
secrets of the confessional revealed.
He eHhorted the bishop to find the
confession and burn IT unread.
The bishop went to his host and
said, ~ do not know II you have q
library. do not know II there Is a
volume Of such and such Father
on the shelf l name. Come and look"
They looked, found the book, found
In 1t an old manuscript. yellow with
age, and burnt II. The monk never
appeared again. Bishop Wilberforce
told the story. But he was a wag. and
among friends he never concealed the
fact that he himself had invented the
entire tale for the purpose of seeing
what people would believe II told with
a sufficiently grave face.-Manchester
Guardian.

OBJECT IS TO MAKE
PEOPLE PROSPEROUS
aoverrment Much Interested In Series
Of War Savings Societies That
Are Rapidly Being Organized.

Government officials at Washing
ton are watching with no little inter
est the growth Of series OF societies
apringing up all over the United
; States. They have already attained a
msmbership that reaches we'll up into
the millions.
Treasury department officials are
I particularly interested in this move
ment, and 1t is fostered by that de-
Dartment. AS soon as a society is
&ormed the names OF the president
bor are placed in the treasury depart
ment archives.
These societies are War Savings
Societies, and the motive Of each So
ciety is Thrift. The government. in
fevoring these organizations, has not
only in view the replenishing of the
United States treasury through the
sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, but the big idea is to cause
each individual member to learn the
value to himself Of being thrifty
The government is not seeking to
divert capital from legitimate com
mercial enterprises. 1t does not want
to tie up vast sums. 1t is the person
who has never saved systematically
that it is the most anxious to reach.
This person can put aside the small,
amounts that he has been accustomed
20 spend, and this, drawing four per
cent compound interest, will in an in
credibly short time grow into a large
enough sum TO make the first pay
ment on a home, or TO provide a sum
with which one may make a perma-
Hent investment

BANKS ORDERING
HAND GRENADES
Over 17s,ooo Children In Fifth District
win De Routing Enemy, Waste,
During Summer Months

Richmond, Va.-AccordinE to tho
latest available figures over Ave hun.
dred banks in the Fifth Federal Re-
serve District have ordered supplies
pf hand grenade penny-savinxs banks
that are to be used by the children for
summer savings. The total number
OF hand grenades that have been or
dered exceeds 175,000.
The plan Of the hand grenade bank
originated in the Treasury Depart
ment, and tho banks are being dis
tributed In this district by the War
Loan Organization here. Every school
child under the age OF seventeen years
may, by applying at the local bank, re-
coive one Of these hand grenade
penny-banks as loan for the vaca-
zion period. II, during the summer,
enough money is saved to purchase
one or more War Savings Stamps the
child.
The banks are made out of real hand
7grenades that were to have been used
against the Huns. With percussion
cap and high explosive removed, and
slots cut to receive and take out coins,
they are now doing service against
the enemy, waste, as banks for saw
ings.
School officials all over the. district
are enthusiastic about the plan. as
they feel that it will not only keep
alive but strengthen the thrift ideals
. that already have been implanted in
the minds of the children.
]. III. Binford, assistant superinten-
dent Of public schools here, has en-
dorsed the scheme, in a recent letter
expressing the hope that all the banks
nn the district would cooperate by get
ting supplies Of the hand grenades, as
the school children are enthusiastic
about securing them.
