THRIFT IN FRANCE
GSnder Normal Condition there Is no Readily Available Investment for Small Savings.

The traditionsi thrift of the French peasant is practised under arduOus conditions
 Most of the population of France is rural ard agricultural. The re- turns from thy sale of their produce are carefully slowed away in "stock- Ing savings as the crops are dis posed of. When enough has been ac- cumUlsted, 1t Is invested in bonds recommended by the banks, which have the most complete confidence Of the people.
 The popular denomination of bonds fin France Is 800 francs (about $109), although some issues are as low as 100 and 25O francs, (S20 and $5o). At no time have the French people had available an investment security of the nature of the American War Say ings Stamps, guaranteed by their gov eTnment and paying more than four per cent interest compounded guar terly. Nevertheless the French peo- pie have invested vast sums in the securities recommended by their banks When the war came these great investments were available for transfar into government war bonds, and the earlier French loans were largely purchased by turning in these securities for exchange.
 If the American people will con tinue to see the great advantages Of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, American thrift will riNa French thrift. The American saver can buy an interest-bearing govern ment security when his savings amount 70 little more than S4. The FrC lehman must wait until he has accumulated at least five times that amount before his money can begtr to earn interest.

THE STORY OF THE FIRST
 LIBERTY LOAN
By Jennie Glover Brown.

On Commonwealth avenue, in Bos ton, stands statue of the man who launched the first Liberty Loan for the Independence of the United Colonies of America, in 1775, with never a thought of interest on the investment or even a promissory note for security. In the harbOr Of Marblehead, Mass, merchant vessels were quipped for war by the same man, at his own expense, and thus the American Navy was be- gun.
 Not satisfied with this, John Glover raised a regiment of sturdy fishermen. l. every private, officer and musician, eX- cept eight, being a native of Marble head. These men, accustomed to hard ships, were contemptuousIy referred to by the British as "Glover's Amphibious Regiment" but they alone were re- spons4ble for the safety of Washing tons Army in that hazardous trip across the Delaware.
 These two important measures were most momentous to Washington during the War of the Revolution
 Glover, at the beginning of the struggle had been a wealthy sea mer- chant, put ne feturheo Lo HIS hoH@sS Sshu family with no money, no business, and was obliged to cobble shoes for his living.
 His worldly possessions gone, what had General Glover left? Only a coun- tryI That country is today the legacy of every man, woman, and child who helps to keep it as free and tnde- pendent as John Glover helped to make l it. How shall we prove ourselves worthy heirs to such an inheritance? There is only one way: Garry oni By purchasing Thrift and War Savings l Stamps we may help with our money though unlike John Glover, We will have the safest security in the whole
 world, the guarantee of the United States Government.

WOMEN A.s INVESTORS
What Liberty Bond and War Saw lnss Stamps HaVo Done
 for Them

Women had never been seriously considered as investors. until the war began and this country became in voIved. This was partly because they did not earn money as they have since the boys went overseas ans to camps. but more for lack of oprortun2ty to invest small savings For instance, one woman invested her entire saYings in two vacant lots some years ago. She has done noth- ing with them, ever since. except to pay taxes. Government securities would have been much better, for their roturns are positive.
 Until recently. such safe, sure and profitable investments as Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps have not been possible. either to men or women. Women. however. have been possibilities of such income bearing investments, and many woman now buys Thrift Stamps instead of candy flowers and the like.
 The prime necessity" according to c woman long a large earner, Sa yer and investor, "is that the thing be safe and sure. and this whether the investor be young woman whose provision for the future need not be unduly hurried. or an older woman open to the temptation of attempt ing get rich quick methods. HeN 1s my advice to women: For the smaIl weekly or monthly savings. the Thrift or War SGvings Stamps, sC
 
 be saved, the sterling Liberty bond.
