As PERMANENT INVESTMENT
Secretary of Treasury Glass Shows
Values of War Savings and
Asks for Cooperation.

Secretary Glass, in a recent inter
view given at Washington, discussed
War Stamps as permanent invest
ment as follows:
WAR Savings Stamps afford an ex-
cellent vehicle for increasing capital
and earning power. Many persons
have not taken the War Savings
Stamps seriously as an investment
out the fact that they may be bought
IN as large a quantity as $1,000 face
value during 1919. at such favorable
interest return, makes them most de-
sirable for the average man or family.
Definite plans for the continuance
Of the issue in coming years of small
Government securities are being work
ed out.
Although War Savings Stamps
sales this year do not approach the
high marks made under stimulation OF
war need last year, their absorption
by the public thus far has been salts
factory.
Savings in all channels shrank dur
ing the early months Of the year, and
it is expected that War Savings Stamp
sales, along with postal savings and
savings bank deposits, will grow
steadily throughout the year.
Cooperation is sought earnestly in'
the matter Of keeping Thrift and WaS
Savings Stamps on sale, so that no
one SO inclined may fail to have oppor'
tunity to invest his money wisely"

Washington, d. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-

the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used The
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety, of course, for the back

1t Is true, though, that In the sections
of all states where white illiteracy is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the

buildings because they do not under
