Cannot we," cried the speaker earn
 estly, "cannot we persuade society women to put some clothes on?''
 At this junGture Commissioner O'Grady interpolated a few remarks anent the "shimmy" dance as it is done in the East Side dance halls and the actions of young people on Coney Island beaches.
 What the Commissioner says has moved me deeply" exclaimed Mrs. Wentz, jumping up. Isn't this ab sence of modesty in the girls due to the example of society women who go about with hardly any clothes on ? Whats the matter with these women? Hasn't the war taught them any thing? Women, we have got to get together and make these so-called IbelIes cover themselves up a little, and we have got to do something
 A chorus of acelamations greeted displayed in the shop windows" chorus of acclamations gfeeter her. F'locl1s of women gathered around Commissioner O'Grady and wrung her hand, producing little note books and inlploring her to put down her name to speak at the next meet ing of the clubs of which they are president. Others surrounded Mrs. Wentz and offered their cooperation in the work of clothing Miss and Mrs. Society though somewhat in the air as how to go about it.

WANTS SOCIETY
 TO WEAR CLOTHES
Filmy Creations Worn at Victory Ball Shock Mrs.
 James G. Wentz.

Mrs. James Griswold Wentz of New York and Newport, who is connected with a well known family of this city, started something at a meeting of the Cosmopolitan club in New York yes terday. Mrs. Wentz, who is the head of the Weman's Republican club, took an active part in the discussion be- fore the club on '"The Girl Problem During Demobilization." Mrs. Ellen OGrady, Deputy Police Commissioner of New York. opened the way to send socially prominent women to dances and dinners in high necked frocks with sweaters over them.
 The following account of the meet ing will be interesting to those who know Mrs. Wentz:
 Mrs. Wentz said the reason Mrs O'Grady's words about the fearful slump in feminine modesty hit her so hard was that the Victory ball at the Ritz Carlton was still fresh in her mind. There were women there, she told the earnest audience, who, take her word for it, might as we'll not have had on anything at sll-the sum total of their apparel was so per ilously near the quantity represented in arithmetic by nought.
 why" she said. there was one girl there who just had little nar- row strip of filmy silk acroA the front of her here" (Mrs. Wentz placed a hand upon her heayirg bosom) land in the back it came down to a point to her belt-she was practically barehacked. These things cannot but shock the male spectator. And not only girls dressed so-- women old as am appear at public functions shamelessly uncovered.

LADY PINK TOES

 women to have ugly, painful carns .e

For a few cents you can get a quar- ter ounce ot the magic drug freezsns recently discovered by a Cincinnati chemist
 Apply feB drops of this freezane upon a tender, aching corR or ealius and instantly, yes, immediately, all soreness disappears and shertly you will find the corn or cailus so loose that you lift 1t out root and all, with the fingers.
 Just think Not one bit of pain be- fore applying freezone or afterwards. It doesn't even irritate the surround- ing skin.
 Hard eorns, soft corns or carns be- tween the toes, also hardened eallus- es on bottom of feet. just seem to shrivel up and fall off without hurt ing . particle It Is almost magical:

ARE YOU PAYING TOO MUCH FOR YOUR WHISTLE? BEN FRANK LIN DID ONCE.

When Franklin was a child Of one holiday Fastening into a near by toyshoD he voluntarily gave all he lad for a whistle. A little later he discovered that he had paid four times too much for his toy. Realiz- ing how many other things he might have had in addition, he wept with yexation and got no more pleasure from thew histle. He never forgot the incident. Afterwards, whenever he was tempted to make too great an outlay in time, or money, or en- ergy, he would say ii himself, Don't pay too much for the whistle"
 Lots of folks are using up all their energy on some showy thing that gives them no comfort. Some are layf8hing valuable time on few un- important tasks. Others willingly blow in" an entire weeks salary on one evening of frivolity, robbing them selves of all manner of pleasure for an indefinite period.
 Others sacrifice the best of their talents in pursuing some fruitless am bition. Still others forego the sim Fle, natural joys of life ia worship ping a snobbish ideal.
 They are all paying too much for their whistle.
 How is it with yeH2
 Are you paying too much fer your whistle? Or are there some 1918 War Savings Stamps in your life? FrankliR's picture is on them; his ideas are back of them.

A THRIFTY PAIR.

Ben Franklin was a thrifty man. To smooth the way, to help along Instead of squanderiRg what he got, He used frugality. His wealth increased from year to
 year,
 He won fame and position, But not alone did he succeed In gaining his ambition. To smooth the way, Ii help along There stood his saving wife, And twas this partnership of thrift Gave them happy life. Some folks attribute wealth to luck, 'Tis fortunes known foundation His luck to find thrifty mate Was Ben's interpretation.

CELEBRATING ''POOR
 RICHARDS" BIRTHDAY
Government Has Pictures Ready for Every Member In the Family. Benjamin Franklin Gave Us Gifts We Shall Never Cease Using.

Benjamin Franklin, whose picture ldorns the 191o or Franklin issue of War Savings Stamps, receives unique .ecognition from the country which rave him birth and which he, in turn, selped to make nation.
 Born in Boston on January IT, two hundred and thirteen years ago, he began his career at the age of ten in lis fathers trade of tallow chandler md soap boiler. Dissatisfied, he ater became an apprentice in his orother's printing office and such was ais character that he quickly rose to ln influenced position and subse- 1uently became one of the most illus rious figures of all times.
 He not only amassed wealth through wise spending, sane saving and secure investment, but saved lime to give himself a complete edu- cation, developing his gifts to the ut most as a writer, philosopher. scfen- list and statesman. He founded the Philadelphia library, the American Philosophical Society and the Uni yarsity of Pennsylvania; he discov- cred that lightning is a discharge oi electricity; he was Postmaster oi Philadelphia and later on Deputy Postmaster General of the British Colonies in America; a stgner of the i Declaration of Independence ant Minister Plenipotentiary from tho | United States to France. All this | when there were no typewriters, nC telephones and few facilities for tray cling.
 Franklin always ascribed hil achievements to careful saving anC | spending of money, of time, of en 1 ergy. A great part of his writlngI were devoted to the happiness ana other benefits resulting from thrift and he took pains to make clear thu distinction between miserliness ant sane saving, just as he did the diff l ference between leisure and laZiness
 In Franklin's day the almanac wa the most popular form of literature and for many years Franklin was tn | author of an almanac signed by on 1 Richard Saunders, in which informa i ton regarding the weather, etc, wa | mingled with wisdom emanating iron Poor Richard" These sayings ar familiar to every American.
 For instance, Poor Richard" said Time is money. Lost time is neve found again. He thst waits uDo fortune is never sure of a dinner Look before or you'll find yoursel behind. Beware if small expenses;
 small leak will sink great ship"
 So, on Franklin's birthday anniver sary, the United States pays to it great counsellor the fine complimen of putting his teachings into prac tice. Judicious buying, wise savin and safe investment are to be tn watchwords for individuals and tn nation during 1919. And that the may not be mere words the govern ment Is Issuing another series of Say ings Stamps, as a stimulus to savin and an absolutely safe and prof1tabl investment. On each stamp appear the picture of Benjamin Franklin
