the potent magic in the word oil was
whirred about yesterday. Any issue that

selling as high as AN, for q gain of

Mexican Petroleum 8 points and Pan
American nearly 2 points. But Sinclair
was the stock which puzzled the oper-
ators on the floor. This Is the issue
which not so long ago broke 30 points,

people and placed the issue In disfavor
with the speculative following. Although
the professional element had become &C.

upward to SO. At that point word wac
passed around that a big accumulation
had been obtained and that a pool was

BILLIONS FROM THE NICKELS
Ever Stop to Think of Vast Sums That
Can Be Saved From Small
Amounts7

If every person in the United States
saved q nickel in one day it would
mean that at night the people would
be just five million dollars richer. And
then suppose the people kept this up
for one month? 1t would mean that
at the end Of thirty days they would
have saved one hundred and fifty mill
lion dollars.
Why not keep it up for the rest of
1919? What would be the result? One
billion five hundred million dollars.
Sounds like lot of work for one little
nickel to do, doesn't 1t, yet there are
scores of industries in the United
States which are paying big dividends
on the little nickels gathered day by
day.
This immense sum If invested in
War Savings Stamps would earn for
the savers approximately sixty-four
million dollars in 1920-the work of

day off and who is continuously on
the Job

ALLOWANCE To CHILD
IS ROAD To ECONOMY
Home Economics Expert Says
Way Is to Teach Youth Early
Proper Apportioning
of an Income.

The best and most natural way of
beginning true national economy, wise
spending and wise saving" says
Ruth Wardell, head of the home eco
nomics department of the University
OF Iowa, and who last summer started
a home economics department in a
Cleveland (Ohio) bank, "is by giving
the children an allowance. The lesson
OF properly apportioning an income
thus lis early learned"
Miss Wardell favors the allowance
arrangement at a very early age, say
at six or seven. 1t may then be very
small, and out of it the budding citi-
zen may be expected to provide only
school pencils, tablets, ETC. The pur-
chase of school books provides a log
ical next step; little later some per-
sonal belongings, such as shoes, may
be added.
Il say Shoes" explains Miss War
dell, because children seem to take
more interest in shoes than in most
articles Of wearing apparel, and be-

THRIFT SCHOOL PLAN
OUTLINED BY EXPERT
Or. Smaller Mathews Explains
Scope and Purpose of Great
U. S. Educational Move
ment for Saving.
BY DR.. SMALLER MATHEWS.
IChairman of w. S. S. Educational
Committee for Seventh District and

[chairman of w. S. S. Educational
Committee for Seventh District ano
Vice Director for Illinois,
Thrift will be taught in the schools
Of the states constituting the Seventh
federal reserve district
The children of Iowa will help pre-
pare the Little Lessons in Thrift which
are being written by Prof. Macy Camp
bell of the Iowa State Teachers col
lege, under the general direction of al
educational committee of the district.
Besides the chairman the educational
committee consists of w. E. Larson,
department of public instruction. Wis
consin; ]. V. McNally, Detroit public
schools Michigan, and Macy Campbell,
Iowa State Teachers college.
The Little Lessons In Thrift appear
fortnightly on printed sheets. The les
sons are prepared for the different
grades in the schools. They are Illus
trated and interesting. They teach
savings as a phase of good citizenship,
give problems of arithmetic In terms Of
thrift stamps, chewing gum, candy
and other things a child buys.
It is a new field which is thus being
opened up and the war savings organ
ization is rendering a great service to
the rising generation. Nor is 1t all
mere theory. The teaching Of the prin-
ciples Of thrift is combined with a sort
of manual training in thrift. through
the sale of War Savings Stamps in
schools.
Along with these Little Lessons in
Thrift the educational committee fur
nishes the schools with pupils thrift
account of the amount, however small,
which the pupil brings to her for the
purpose Of buying stamps. This prac
tice itself becomes educational, be-
cause the pupil gets introduced to
simple bookkeeping and banking.
These plans have received the hear
tiest cooperation Of the school admin
istration in the various states and
cities The parochial and private
schools also are cooperating in the use
of the material and plans prepared by
the committee
The young men and women of the
next generation will have higher re-
spect for thrift and a better under
standing as to how to spend their
money, for they will learn even in the
primary grades that thrift is not miser-
Illness but a way of spending money SO
as to make it for them.

cause shoes represent highly impor-
tant item to which children frequently
pay little heed"
The allowance should provide a
little margin to encourage careful buy
ing and saving possibilities. 1t should
not necessitate so much care or
thought as to burden the growing
youngster. It should never, under nor
NAL circumstances, be "helped OUT
by irregular gifts or expected to cover
other than the recognized items. The
allowance, with it's purchasing respon-
Sibilities, should be increased gradu-
ally, steadily. BY the time high school
Is reached the boy or girl should be
buying practically all his or her own
clothes.
Miss Wardell tells an interesting
story Of a boy who called upon her
In Cleveland, telling her of his man
ner of appOrtioning the rather gener-
Gus allowance made by his father. He
knew to a penny what every article
he wore had cost him; he was intelli-
gent regarding relative textile and
wearing values he saved steadily, sys-
tematically, with Joy.

daughter out, similarly, at eight years
old and at sixteen the girl was a bet

RUN THE HOUSEHOLD
ON BUDGET SYSTEM
Keep Careful Accounts and Divide
Family income Wisely
Suggestions for Vari-
GUS Salaries.

A budget is absolutely necessary to
the wise and well proportioned running
OF household. No budget can be made
to fit all families, even families of
similar size, locality, ETC., but the we'll
proportional budget provides a fair
financial basis, a starting point from
which to begin the work of wisely d.
viding the family income.
The main thing is to get the budg-
ct started, to keep careful accounts
in way that will permit analyzation
of sxpenditures-for at least several
months; year, if possible. Many
people keep accounts, personal and
household, only In way that balances
cash and shows how it has been gen.
orally expended. A budget should do
better than that.
An exact budget is difficult to pro-
vide at present, with all living prices
in a state of fiux but with prevailing
upward tendency. Figures differ great
ly In various sections Of the country,
frequently in various sections OF the
same state. But in strictly industrial
centers, it has been authenticity COM
puted, food usually consumes about 4S
per cent of the ordinary income, shell
ter Is per cent, fuel and light per
cent, and the various "sundries'' so
grouped because 80 difficult Of more
exact classification, 20 per cent In the
following suggestive budgets for vary
ing incomes the Saving" item has
been placed first as most necessary
where the family income is not too
large and is practically inelastic.
This item may include life insurance,
savings bank accounts and such inev-
table income-bearing governmental So
curities absolutely necessary with the
kind of incomes noted-as Liberty
Bonds a I'd War Savings Stamps.

Buying His Own Goods.

dren were we'll started on the road to
fine and self-respecting and independ-
emit citizenship. Both will enter COL
lege with q nice little financial nest
egg to await the beginning of their,
business or professional life.
The child's allowance, 1t may be
added, should be for necessities mainly,
with but a fair and modest margin for
personal luxuries and pleasures. 1t
should always be recognized as allow
ing for q regular proportion of saw
ings, preferably invested in govern
mental securities. 1t should be care
fully adjusted, rigidly adhered to on
both sides of the bargain. Such re-
spect and observance not only Will
teach the child good economic habits,
but will abolish many too frequent an
noyances for the financial head of the
family.
Each child given an allowance will
understand that this sum, with his
support and other parental provisions,
represents his fair share Of the fam
fly income, and that, as decent citi-
zen, he must not ask nor expect to ex-
coed II. An adequate allowance sys-
tenn, moreover, will obviate the evil
habit of crying or pleading for special
indulgences and more funds.
