THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
EMPIRE.

One need not spend much time studying the motif of a motion pie ton story when 1t has a comprehen- sive title. This is the case with Men. Women and Money" Ethel Clayton's new Paramount starring ve- hicle, which will be displayed at the Empire theatre today and tomor- row.
 The story concerns a young and unsophisticated girl of the Middle West who becomes initiated Into the ways of the smart set and from then on Is a slave to that kind of life until she IS finally awakened and finds that beneath the glitter and giamor of so- ciety lies a dark current which soon- CT or later penetrates to the outer surface and engulfs its victims.
 With all her money gone, the hero inc performs honest labor to pay back her gambling debs and those con tracted for gowns at Madame Ri bouts. She awaSens the love and admiration of Cleveland Buchanan, a wealthy idler. who also starts in to make his life moro useful by helping unfortunate men and women.
 Miss Clayton is afforded an excel lent opportunity to display her emo tional talents as the picture abounds with highly dramatic situations.
 Returns of the willard-Dempsey battle in Toledo will be flashed on the screen today.

Lytell Finds Alfalfa
 Is POetic-At Distance

Bert Lytell. Metro. star, stood on the the running board of Director Edwin Carewe's car on the Cahuenga Pass grade near Hollywood. Mr. Ly- tell was in spotless white silk shirt and flannel trousers, waiting for the camera-car to catch up so they could take the next scene for Its Easy to Make Money" the story by John Blackwood.
 Up the grade toward them toi1ed a creakfng wagon stacked high with alfalfa.
 Now just look at that beautiful green alfalfa exclaimed LyteIl, ad- miration in his eye. Gosh, that makes me homesiok for my old ranch up at Napa. Guess I'll go there and play farmer for a few weeks. That's the life, boy-healthful, clean and beautiful-typif1ed by that load of lovely alfalfa. Oh to be out in God s country to quit this life and live; to -
 Just then the hay wagon passed and the road being narrow, about 33 per cent of the alfalfa, including g most of the dirt and chaff, remained with Lyten. He looked more like the straw man in The Wizard of Oz'' than the immaculate hero of Its Easy to Make Money
 "Yes, it's a poetic life" said Direc- tor Carewe, getting ready to dodge. 'The further away you get the more poetic 1t is.''

 Hate Is not characteristic of the taught us unwfIlingIy how to hate them Now 1t is q sin not to hate the spirit they showed and not to abolish 1t from the face of the earth. tOf the latter we are positively sure, because the American passion for jus t1ce Is . hundred times stronger than was the German passion for conquest,

THOUSANDS OF WAR VETERANS
 START LIFE ANEW JULY

July 1919 is especially a season of |rejoictnss and beginnings. We cele- brate our national anniversary this year with unusual vim and enthusiasm because of the cessation of war and the return of the boys from overseas
 AS in a long-ago July we began our life as a nation, so in this July many young men are practically beginning their lives anew.
 They are not the same careless jest and aAsong. They have returned older, more thoughtful, moro earnest. Some of their old associations will be distasteful to them, and they will create new ones-
 The war has made a similar imp1es- sion upon the entire nation. We too are changed. we too have learned to think moro wisely. Especially notable In this connection is the revival Of the old time spirit Of thrift upon which was builded the national prosperity which Ienabled us to achieve wonderful re- isults in a minimum of time. In their zeal to help the Government many became during the war, almost unaware, the possessor of more money than they ever had before, and they will not willingly relax from SO setis. factory . condition.
 There is nothing which fosters a spirit of worthy independence as does the consciousness of sufficient means to meet an emergency. With those Ewho experience it every day is inde pendence day. If there are those who do not realize the happiness which comes through thrift, there is no bet. ter time than the present to make . declaration of Independence alk their own, and for a foundation Thrift and War Savings Stamps arc available, safe and profitable.

WHAT THRIFT
 WILL ACCOMPLISH.
Some Successful Men Who Began
 By Saving.

The immortal Abraham Lincoln was & notable exempiar of the value Of thrift of time. We can picture him trudging forty miles to borrow gram mar. We can see him prone before the pine fire at night after a hard days work Ios-cutting, reading and re-rend- ing the statutes of Indiana, the only hook he owned, or learning to write and figure with q piece of charcoal on the back oY a wooden shovel, as he had no paper or ink
 Another example of what boy can do who does not waste time Is that of a Milwaukee man, Nels Anton Chris jensen, recently appointed by the United States government, through Secretary of the Navy Daniels, on the inventors stan Of the new United States Naval Board, which includes the greatest inventive minds 1n the nation. Born in Denmark, Nels Chris tensen's school days ended at If years After that he worked in machine sbop days and attended technical school in the evenings. From his say tngs he defrayed the expense or course at the Copenhagen Technique Institute, from which ho was graduated at 21- Previous to that he attained na- tionad prominence as an engt7er. nav ing designed, when 19 years ola, tne Darrish Lighthouse at Hanstholme' ono of t3e, largest in the world.

 Thomas Edison began to save before he began to invent The successrui magazine editor, Edward Box, started saving on a salary of 50 cents a week Grover Cleveland's wages for his first wear of work, totaled $50. Garfield could not have become president had he not saved early in life Horace Greeley and Cooper founded their ca reers on saving.
 Ex-GoveYnor Ferris of Michigan now a college president, a lifelong advo cate of thrift, tells of his own thrifty |. training: 'Tn my youth if had toy made 1t, and made it not to suit myself alone but 1t had to suit my father >as we'll His examination o ! my work and his insistence that should put the best there was in me even into my toys put into my back spine and sufficient lime to last . lie time.

Put \ Healthy Minority In the

1t has been an unfortunate thing for
the city Of New York that in the last
two years there has been no minority
In the Board of Estimate. The fnan-
cial affairs Of a corporation which

been entirely In the hands Of officials
Of one political party, and that party
centred, in great measure. In Tam
many Hall.
As the Board Of Estimate Is at
present constituted Democrats cast all
Of the sixteen votes. What IL worse.
there has been no Fusion or. Republi.
can voice to raise itself In behalf Of
economy. The good which an active
and intelligent minority sometimes can
accomplish In political body has
been denied to the city in the case Of

Every student Of government knows
that, regardless Of partisanship, It
would be good thing for the city II
