ito raise money to pay off the
mortgage on his farm" What a
terrible record of wasted years
that celebration completed. After
a life of endeavor more than dou-
bic that of the average man, he
was reduced to exhibiting his
gray hairs and infrmities to set
tie portion Of his debts.
There can be no other reason
for such necessity than lack OF
thrift and saving. He undoubt-
eddy had strength and health
above the average or he could not
have doubled the span OF life. He
must have had uncounted oppor-
tfanities. The development of his
state and the nation has forced
thousands such into his path.
Yet he obviously did not seize or
take advantage of them, through
lack OF thrift.
1t is not unreasonable to sup
pose that he earned more than
a mere living throughout more
than half his existence. Had he
but practiced regular saving
throughout portion of those
years, he would have been so far
removed from poverty that
mortgage on his farm would have
been an absurdity. Few will re-
fuse to concede that it was pos
sible for him to have saved 80
cents a week during half OF his
life. That sum deposited at 4 per
Cent interest compounded quar-
sterly, he rate now paid by War
Savings Stamps, from the time
he was 81 until he reached 66
would have given him approx
mately $3,264.13, more than
enough to have lifted his mort
gage.
Instead of being assured of life
without financial cares he has
Struggled for 66 years after for
the bare necessities OF existence
The road Of thrift, which may
perhaps have been more difficult
4 hundred years ago, has been
made smooth for present day in
vestors. There are few citizens
fof this country who cannot save
something every week. The gov
lernment savings securities, Thrift
,Stamps. War Savings Stamps
Treasury Savings Certificates ane
Liberty Bonds give opportunity
for both safety and profit or all
such sums, no matter how large
or how small.
Few men would care to live to
be 131 If the chief interest in life
at the end of that time was what
it was necessary to hand some
one who allowed them TO live by
the grace of mortgage. Invest
ment in government securities
will provide both for the present
and the future.

SETTLE STRIKE
Praeger Agrees to Reinstate One
Flier-Settles Weather Issue

TIeI-SCllleS NSdthSl lSSdc
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Praeger reached an amicable
settlement yesterday with the air
mail pilots who went on one day
strike last week At the conclusion
of conferences with Pilot Charles
II. Anglin, representing the pilots,
the reinstatement of Pilot E. Hamil-
ton Lee, one of the two men whose
dismissal resulted in the strike, was
announced.
Leon Smith, the other dismissed
s:riator, will not be rcinstated, Mr..
rraeger said. This action was said
20 have met with the approval of
Mr.. Anglin, because Smiths case
presented complications which re-
quired separate action.
Under the settlement, which accord
ing to both Mr.. Praeger and Mr..
Anglin, precluded the possibility of
further trouble, the departments
order concerning flying under adj
verse weather conditions has been
clarified so as to permit the manager
of the flying field to determine
whether the pilot shall take the air
when his life might be endangered.

ent among the minor delegations in
these informal meetings is that of
Sweden.
As each of the Big Five powers has
one vote in the league and the small

France and the "Ettle fellows" would
enable France to cast five votes

ton with which he had to contend, and that with a situation like that to meet. he must be allowed to meet it by methods which seemed best to him and not use a method that might injure the cause instead of helping it."
 Frank P. Walsh. former joint chair man of the war labor board, also ad- dressed the president, the statement said, calling his attention to the fact that people of Irish blood had stood solidly behind the president when he declared that the war was for the right and liberty of small nations.
 The president according to the state ment interrupted to say: T agree with your argument. Yes I agree with what you say

MOVIES TO BE PART OF SCHOOL
iCleveland Plain Dealer,

Motion pictures will take the place of textbooks hereafter in all schools and colleges according to Thomas A. Edison. "The only textbooks needed will be for the teachers own use" de- clares the inventor of the motion pie ture camera.
 My impression is that the govern ment ought to help in this work" MT. Edison said. There should be vast fireproof vaults where all valuable and irreplacable reels might be stored
 "A great film library of educational and industrial subjects should be built up in Washington. Then these films could be issued on the rental system to all institutions in the United States, even to the most remote rural school houses, and the system could be co operated, that it would pay it's own way, would be on a self-supporting basis like the pension office or post office
 Asserting that anything which can be taught to the ear can be taught bet ter to the eye" MT. Edison continued: : The moving object on the screen, the closest possible approximation to real ity, is almost the same as bringing that oubject itself before the child or taking the child to that object"

SURELY A TALKER

Speaking at a political gathering. Representative Fred A. Britten of Hi nois recalled the following ancedote:
 A woman went into pet store one day with the announcement that she wished to buy a parrot, and was shown several promising specimens by the proprietor.
 T like the looks of this one" said the prospective customer, designating a certain bird, but are you quite sure that he is a talker?"
 "Oh. yes. madam" was the prompt assurance of the proprietor, The is a talker, all right"
 Some of them are very disappoint- ing" continued the customer. Will you guarantee him to talk a lot?" 'I surely will" answered the pro- prietor. The woman who last owned him sold him because she couldn't get word in edgewise. Chicago News.

adopted by the Irish race convention at Philadelphia. requesting the presi- dent to work for self determination for Ireland
 Justice Golf argued vigorously that Ireland came well within all the de- scription of a self determining nation as laid down by the president himself He closed saying: We ask you to present to the peace conference at Paris the right of Ireland to determine the for moi government under which she shall live. Will you do it?"
 According to the statement the pres ident stated that he did not believe that he should be called upon to answer such question, explaining that as the government representative at the peace conference he felt that he should not be called upon to make formal reply to Justice Goffs inquiry.
 According to the statement, there was misunderstanding between the president and the committee. The president informed the Irishmen he had only agreed to receive their reso- lution and hear any argument offered. Justice Golf, however. stated he un- derstood that the president had agreed to be questioned as to what his at- titude would be.
 Agrees With Irish
 The president then stated" said the statement. that he was in thor ough accord with the aspirations voiced by the judge. and had been for long time; that all he meant to say was that he should not be called upon as the head of one of the governments taking part in the peace conference. tc state his official attitude, no matter what his personal feeling might be; that he was not unfriendly to tho cause as we present it, but that it was a very delicate and complicated situa-

SAVE MILLIONS BY SALVAGE
New York Sun)

London-The British admiralty's salvage section has saved more than 300 ships. valued at much more than S100.00O,000. Cargoes worth another ;50,000, 900 have been saved along with the ships. Many of the torpedoed cargoes were perishable, so were lost when the ships went down.
 Altogether more than S150, ,000, 900 has been saved to Britain by her sal wage units. It is impossible to compute the value of the saved ships as food carriers returned to the seas.
 Compressed air, standard patches and the submersible electric pump are the principal mechanical means by which Britain's salvage record has been achieved. Of the three, the sub- mersible pump is the newest It is the invention of a Scottish electrical en- gineer, who has made a pumping de- vice in which electricity works as well below water as above. It carries its own motor, so it Is adapted for use even after the torpedo has crippled the ships dynamo. It was one of these pumps which succeeded in saving a naval vessel after the Battle of Jut- land. No ordinary pump could have accomplished the feat.
 These pumps are powerful enough and big enough to throw out water al most as fast as 1t enters a ship's wound, and vessels which carried sev- eral of them largely minimized theiI chances of being sunk.
