STOCKING BANK DISCARDED

Americans" says a man who has
read, studied and Travelled widely,
frequently are accused of lacking the
habit of saving. Comparisons, unfav-
orable to Americans, always are being
made between the saving habits of
United States residents and those of
various European countries, notably
France, Holland and Belgium. Now,
admitting that many of these accusa-
tions are true, the answer is not far
to seek.
"The people of France, Holland and
Belgium have saved, in large measure,
because saving is the century,
strengthened habit of their people.
They have saved because, money COM
ing less freely to them than to Amer
leans, their money-making opportun-
tiles being fewer, the stern necessity
for making provision for the future
has been sternly pressed upon them.
And they have saved also, perhaps, in
far greater degree than might gen.
orally be suspected, because they have
had good, safe observation-disclosures
mont observation-disclosures waiting, in
small denominations, to be had"
There is much truth in this state
ment. The first Liberty Loan repre-
scented practically the first general
American opportunity for investing in
Government securities. When the
bonds of that first issue had been pur-
chased, many of them through part
payments, countless American citi-
zens for the first time had tasted the
joys of steady, systematic saving.
The second loan found them ready and
willing buyers. So did the Third and
Fourth Liberty Loan issues. The Vic
tory Loan met with the hearty APP
proval of the thoughtful small invest
or, who had learned the small-savings
lesson thoroughly. Many person
who prior to the First Liberty Loan
had never saved Systematically, now
buy War Savings Stamps as regularly
as the weeks salary is paid.
The stocking bank, the teapot on
the top pantry shelf were out of favor
as family strongholds some time since.
The American people learned to bank
their small savings. Now government
tai investment opportunities being af-
forded, they are becoming government
stockholders in an increasingly gen
erous scale.

BACHELOR GIRLS REFLECTIONS

There is no pity on earth quite so
heartfelt as that with which bache-
lor and a spring bridegroom regard
each other at this time.
The average girl steps from the al
tar in total eclipse, from which she
never energies until she becomes a
widow. No, keeping your maiden
name and your job won't save you,
Esmeralda. You can't escape that
married look"
Sometimes a mans Consistency" is
merely genius for concealing his lit
tie sentimental variations.
Speaking of autocracy--not even
being kissed on both cheeks and pre-
sented with a medal by French
general ever gave a man that thrill
of pride he feels when the head wait
er of lobster palace condescends to
treat him like an equal.
1t isn't the girls that he has loved
and lost for whom a man signs-it's
those whom he loved and never quite
succeeded in winning.
Most men are awakened from loves
young dream by a sob, a sigh or a
sniffle. Somehow, man can forgive
a woman for any crime on earth SOON
er than for being miserable.
A girl always keeps little cozy
corner in her heart for every man
who has loved her, and shrine or so
for those she has particularly loved
but to a man there is nothing quite
so dead as a dead love, and nothing
quite so grewsome as sentimental
mausoleum.
The kind of love that can't endure
a few shattered illusions is too finn
sy to stand the strain of matrimony.

MAN INSANE FROM
OVERDOSE OF BOOZE

Ed Harlan was brought before the
county court Monday for an examina-
tion as to his sanity. He was prompt
ly pronounced insane and at once TAX
en- to the hospital at Pennington.
Harlan formerly worked at the Lit
Teton Machine Shop, but never made
it rule to let work stand in the way
of good drunk when the drunk was
obtainable. Just before the Big
Drowth started Harlan went to ST..
Louis and Poplar Bluff and other
damp spots and evidently absorbed all
the booze one human hide could OBJ
tain. He landed at the place of C. j..
Wilkinson at Marquand about two
thirds dead and three-thirds crazy and
it was from there the sheriff brought
him Monday morning. A more COM
plete physical wreck is rarely seen
and many predicted he would not live
until he reached Pennington, but his
endurance was better than it appeared
and at last reports he was srili alive.

omy when they cut millions from APP
preparations for the Army and Navy,
what are Republicans in the Senate do
ing when thcy help Democrts to re-
store thdse millions !? Perhaps the
answer is that Republican Representa-
tives are doing what their party wants
while the Republicans in the Senate
are grudgingly doing what the people
demand.

Repeal Of War Time Pro-
hibihon Law Unlikely

Congressional leaders are apparent.
~ unimpressed by the demands OF
labor interests and others for the re-
peal Of the wartime prohibition law
which becomes effective on July l.
This is the announced opinion of one
of the leading members of the Steer
ing Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, who claims that the re-
sponsibility for lifting the bar
against liquor rests upon the Presi-
dent and not upon Congress. 1t al
SO appears, from confidential polls
taken by anti-liquor interests, that
there is a substantial majority in
Congress which is opposed to re-
peal of the law in question. The po-
sition of many members of Congress
seems to be that. since the National
Prohibition amendment will make
the country dry anyway after the end
Of the wear. there is no substantial
reason why legislation should be
enacted which would continue the

Writing in the Monthly Weather
Review George N. Cole sets forth de-
tailed arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
Of st. Pierre during the eruption OF
Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts
in connection with the eruption OF
vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the eruption Of Taal,
Sakurajima, etc, derived its heat from
the sudden compression Of the air sur
rounding the volcano. and not from
conditions in the volcano itself. In
other words, it was not, according to
this hypothesis, an outpouring Of hot
crater gases that caused the destruc-
ton, but the dynamic heating OF the
air attending the propagation of the
explosion wave.
