AGENTS CARRYING
MESSAGE OF THRIFT
Harold Braddock. Director Of Savings
Division Writes Letter Of Ap-
probation to Each OF Eigh-
teen Hundred Workers.

First-hand information and Sugges'
tions as to how to obtain increased
efficiency and prosperity may now be
obtained by women on the farm, in
am part of the country, from the home
demonstration agents of the depart
ment of agriculture. Entering into the
national savings movement with a zest
that characteriZes all their work,
some eighteen hundred of these home
demonstration agents have been carry.
ing the message OF thrift into the farm
houses all over the United States.
In appreciation Of their voluntarily
undertaken work Director Braddock
has written a letter to each worker,
of commentator, which reads in part:
Thrift is primarily the peoples con
Germ. II thrift Is to become perma
nent national asset, the peoples agen
cies and organizations must dehnitely
assume their share Of responsibility
for intoxicating thrift by including ii
in their program for action. Schools,
churches, business and labor organiza
tions, fraternal societies and womens
organizations, as well as agricultural
workers and agenc es, are already un
dertaking this work and are in close
cooperation with the treasury de-
partment."
According to Mr.. Braddock's letter,
plans for the creation Of savings facil
tiles in the home are outlined as fol
lows:
Il. Habit OF saving frst some part
Of income for future needs and of
spending wisely for present needs
"2. Home betterment fund. to So
cure, for example. running water in
the house.
80. Savings plan for every boy and
girl
a. Savings fund in government Sc.
curities for every family.
"5. Keeping Of accounts to pro-
mote wise spending and to increase
savings.
&c. Safe investment of savings

A "Geeneral Settlement.

In the rich spoil that the Hapshurgs
accumulated over many centuries,
much of which Is coming back to the
nations that owned it, there is hardly
a more interesting item than the cOrO-
nation robes that Italy now proposes
to have returned to Palermo, Sicily.
Henry vi, emperor of the Holy Roman
empire in the twelfth century, subdued
the Sicilies and took back to Germany
the gorgeous costume that Saracen
artisans had made for Norman kings
who had come into control hundred
years earlier. Since then the robes
have been worn by Hapsburg mon
archs at their cOronations, and of late
years they have been kept, between
these ceremonial occasions, in the I'M
perial treasury In Hofburg, Vienna.
The robes include magnificent
mantle, a wonderfully embroidered alb

of gold scales. AS between Aust ria

In India Idol Worship OF Brahmanicai
Hierarchy Would Revive, Writer
Asserts.

The danger, when 1t comes to self
government for India, and every Anglo
Indian recognizes 1t, Is that we may
put back into power the Brahmanical
hierarchy which, by all the wiles of
priestcraft by organizing aboriginal
worship and blood sacrifices, by as
trology and miracles" has held the
lowlier races of India enslaved. body
and soul, these three thousand years.
Even the English-speaking masters
of art In Calcutta university, after
their graduation, go back to temples
reeking with the blood of bulls and
goats. and chant Vedic mantras be-
fore hideous idols. Exactly SO far does
their study Of Mill and Huxley enamel
pate them. And this, in fiat defiance
of the fact that all the best of their
sacred books sternly condemn this evil
ambition and its instruments, black
superstition and idolatry, the things
against which the Buddha made his
heroic protest. But long centuries ago.
the dark Brahmanical reaction drove
the Buddha's followers out of India.
Nevertheless the British trustees for
the welfare of India continue to do all
things in their power to advance the

HE ROSE TO THE OCCASION
Teacher Insisted That Norman Should
Write Poetry, and Result Was
Remarkable Effusion.

The sophomore class at N high
school had genius for teacher.
She could write poetry and every Fri
day required her pupils to do the
same. Norman could play baseball.
but poetry was outside his ken. Still
the teacher insisted that he do 1t,
and finally Issued as her ultimatum
that he either write 1t or she would
mark him failure on his monthly re-
port. A failure mark meant that the
team would lose one Of Its best play
ers, so Norman tried to write u poem.
His attempt was so wretched that his
teacher tried sarcasm.
"You are q genius" she told him.
"Now see If you can't write poem
about yourself and your wonderful
abilities"
Later she found Norman's effort In
his memorandum book, but she has
kept the finding q secret. For he had
written:
Lives OF school teachers all remind W
That they'd better get man.
And departing leave behind them
Fewer nuisances II they can.
