WOMEN ARE TO TEST
lIONEY-SAVING PLANS
General Study Of Wise opportIonment
Of Family Income Will be Taken
Up BY South Carolina clubs.

/. January first, members Of the fedor-
ated women's clubs Of South Carolina
will begin statewide test OF the wis
dom with which they ars spending
their money. How much of the family
income goes for hats and herrings, for
mo les and medicines and saucepans
and sugar, (when there is any), will
be sternly calculated by housewives In
every city and county, and the results
pooled at tho end Of the month. Mrs.
J. Russell McElwee, state chairman Of
Tariff for the federation is busily en-
gagged in enlistins the support OF
every club woman In South Carolina
in campaign to reduce living ex'
perses which is sponsored by the
United States Treasury Department,
in cooperation with the national thrift
chair men Of the largest orsaniza'
tions of women In the United Staten.
Women Are Buyers
we were never called upon to help
In a greater cause, a more needed
campaign, a compaign of such recon
struction," says Mrs. McElwee. She
Is convinced that it lies within tao
power Of women to regulate the use
and control the price Of the common
necessities of life, az they are the
buyers Of these necessities. When
this power is applied In concentrate
ed way by the women Of South Car
elina, she believes that they will give
Invaluable help in solving the present
problem Of the high cost OF living, and
in establishing the permanent prac'
tice of saving money and material.
Mrs. McElwee is being aided in the
preliminary work of getting the cam
paign in this state upder way, by a
central committee composed Of coun.
ty and city chairmen of thrift.
Each individual, according to pres
ent plans, will be asked to keep an
account Of her daily expenses during
January, grouping them under such
headings as, Rent" Clothing,
"Amusements," Food" etc. She will
not be asked to report the actual
amounts spent, but the percentage
they represent of the actual income.
These reports will probably furnish
the basis Of discussion for meeting
held at the end Of the month.
VIII Review Expenses.
In February, each individual will
analyze the January expenses and
make an effort through information
gained in January to save certain
amount through conservation, with
out hardship. In March, each woman
will make calculation Of how much
she saved on living expenses In Feb.
ruary over an equal number Of days
in January. In this month an effort
will be made to encourage the mem.
bsrs Of organizations making tho OK.
pertinent to invest their savings IN
government securities. Final reports
at the end of the three months will be
sent to the headquarters of the War
! Loan Organization of this district, in
Richmond, Va.
State clubs nave been notified that

of the Wonan's Division OF the War

ment as its reconstruction work, will
be sent to those desiring it. Requests

his coat about his head scrambled up the

much as possible. An instant later Nc
Cusker's head appeared at the window
