An intensive educational campaign

This campaign. which is under the
direction of tho war savings division ot

of the serious national situation due in
part to extravaganza and an entire alb
Scncc of saving. Schools and churches
will be the PRINCIPAL chanpels. through
which the thrift" plan VIII be urged.
School children will be able to open
miniature savings accounts with their
teachers. Tho study of thrift has been
made part Of the curriculums in pub
lie and private schools. and has been
officially commended by DR.. Thomas f.,
Fincgan, state superintendent Of
schools.

has been made by many prominent
clcrgymcn throughout the city. Among
these are Rabbi Joseph krauskopt,
Archbishop Doughcrty aud DIR. Alex.
andcr MacColl, of the Second Prcsby
terian Church.

should they come. nevertheless, it will
be we'll to be. in some measure, pre-

better way of being prepared for the
emergency that may arise than by avail
ing ourselves of the opportunity our
government offers us for the purchase
of thrift stamps of its issuance. Having
the treasury Of the United States back
of them, these stamps are an absolutely
safe Investment. and the money they
represent is readily realizable whenever
the need Of it may arise.
Clergy Advocates Plan
Archbishop Dougherty has given the
national thrift movement of the govern
ment his earnest recommendation and
has expressed the hope that the tenets OF
thrift will be firmly implanted in the
hearts of the people.
Doctor MacColl readily sums up the
situation in a paragraph. Doctor Mac
Coll says, I'VE are the most wastefui
people in the world. and from the en-
forced economies of the war there is
already an unhealthy reaction toward
foolish extravaganza and injurious lux
ury. Our churches will be quite in their
proper sphere in co operating with the
government in impressing upon our peo-
pie as we have the opportunity. the
duty and wisdom of continuing in peace
the saving habit of the war period. For
with thrift comes self respect and all
those virile qualities which make
strong citizenship and. incidentally.

The popularity of the cape and
dolman wrap for motor wear gained
in the very early spring marks it for
the leading summer style. The sum-
mer wrap differs from the winter and

Of lighter weight velours, OF serge,
tricotine, and taffeta, and is not fur

Of all shades and some grays are the
modish colors. While both the cape
and dolman are in favor, a decided
preference Is shown for the cape,
which Is developed in many attractive
styles, with sEirred panel vests and
draped or surplice collars, which fire.

reaching to the waistline, or even

lines.
Circular Capes Popular.
The circular capes are high in
fashions favor and a very attractive
model is called the Liberty cape. tits
made of French blue serge, sleeveless
with arm bands suspended from the
shoulders by narrow self-straps. The
long, one-sided scarf collar Is edged
with leather fringe in red, white. and
blue. The military cape Is one OF the
best models for the motorist, and
when correctly cut and tailored Is a
decidedly chic garment for any kind
OF wear. 1t Is, moreover. an ideal &C.
cessory, as it will furnish precisely the
amount of additional warmth needed
about the shoulders and waist and may
easily be discarded when the wearer
Is 90 inclined. Some OF the pongee
motor capes are leather lined through
the shoulders and have collars or
hoods OF leather. These are exceed.
