oAENApEs FOR SAVINGS BANKS
School Children Of State May Receive
War Souvenirs

Des Moines, June 1r.-Plans probab-
ly will be announced tomorrow by the
executive committee of the Iowa war
savings organization for the distribu-
ton of hand grenade savings banks
to the school children Of Iowa,
in line with the treasury department
plans. How many will be used in this
state Is matter yet for decision.
Millions of hand grenades, manu-
featured to carry death and destruc-
ton TO the German army by way of
the Yankee fighting units. are to be d.
verted to the peaceful patriotic pur-
pose of encouraging thrift among the
school children of America. The death
dealing grenades. with the explosive
charge absent. viii be distributed by
the savings division Of the treasury de-
partment thru the savings directors Of
the tweiva federal reserve banks. Each
grenade when il reaches its ultimate
owner will have been transformed into
miniature bank, which will hold pen
MES and dimes, to be saved until they
can be turned into thrift stamps and
war savings stamps.
Fifteen million OF these hand gra-
nades were ready for active service
when the Germans decided they had
enough The war department was
ready to dispose of them for junk, but
the savings division Of the treasury
decided that their value as souvenirs
Of the great war should not be lost.
The grenades represent the highest
modern development Of the great close
quarters fighting wea pom which is one
of the most ancient forms OF using
explosives.
The distribution Of the hand gre
made banks in he various federal re-
serve districts will be entirely under
the control of the district and state
savings directors. The plan suggested
by the treasury department cont en-
plated awarding a grenade bank to
children who earn enough money to
buy war savings stamps during the
vacation period, and who bring to their
teachersswhen school opens in the fall
story telling how the money was
earned. The plan is now under consid-

Ne Patron Saint.

Polar explorers now have their pa
tron saint in the person OF st. Chris.
TOPPER, whose medallion. presented by
Queen Alexandra OF England, is affixed
to the Endurance. Not long ago the
equally modern profession Of short
hand writer's was similarly equipped.
They fixed upon ST. Genest, Who suff.
fered martyrdom for refusing to tran
scribe an imperial decree. That Is
an odd reason, but not more odd than
many which have weighed in other
transactions OF the kind. The pa,
tron saint of skaters is st. Ludwina.
who fell on the ice and sustained in.
juries which she bore with exemplary
patience. and st. Cyril was long re.
sarded as the patron Of Slavs on the
ground that he was the apostle OF
the Slavi."
