WAR COST l82
 BILLION FRANCS
Financial Situation Of France Given Serious At
 tentiOn.

qris sunday, Feb. 16-The nnan- ai4,I situation of France is being given serious attention by various coInnll- tees and groups of the chamber or deputies, where it will be the suo1ect of an interpolation soon.
 Frances war expenses are expected to total 182,o00, ,OO0Oo0 francs, with resources of 158,0OO.0 O.000,000 francs, showing a deficit of 2400o,oO0 %. These resources comprise 1S,OOO,00O,- 900 francs from taxation, 54,OOo'- OOO, 900 from four war loans, 2o'ooo'- 100000 advanced by the Bank of France, the product of short time treasury bonds, together with ad- vances made by Allies and credits opened in foreign countries.
 In addition to the 24,0Oo,OOo.o00 deficit there are exceptional expenses such as compensation to civilians for war damage, which is moderately es- timated at 1O,O0O,OOO,000 francs; the cost of exchanging the German mark currency of Alsace-Lorraine, 2,5OO,- OOO,0O0 francs; the repayment Of bonds issued in liberated regions, 1,5OO,O0O,0OO; demobilization bonuses. estimated at between 100000, 900 and 6,00o, 100000 francs, together with other exceptional expenses which will bring the estimated total to 26,- 0,000,00o, and make the total de- felt 50.00O, O,OOO.00O francs.
 It is reckoned that the expenses for 1920 will be 18, 800, ,0O0. .OHo francs, of which the existing budget can supply only S,O0O,O0O,O00. The question IS. therefore, being discussed in French quarters whether, apart from Ger many's war contribution, a new divts- sion of war expenses ought not to be considered between the Allies in or der to distribute more equitab1y the burden, which it is contended, weighs more heavily on Franco than on the others.

WISE SPENDING,

Are you 8 wise spender? Wise spending is regarded as a highly i'm portant preliminary to thrift by the U. s. Treasury. As part of it's campaign for promoting popular savings through Thrift and War Savings Stamps dur ing 1919, 1t has issued through its Savings Division the following defni- ton of wise spending, which merits the thoughtful attention of every fam fly and every individual who would get ahead in life:
 Wise spending implies the balanc- ing of all needs and of all means of meeting these needs and, after balanc- ing needs against means, spending in such 8 way as to meet the most urg- ent needs, even if lesser ones have to be left unsatisfed; in essence it means a sort of budget making. When a family. city or state makes a budget, what 1t does essentially is to take a comprehensive view Of both needs and income
 Perhaps the most important and difficult problem in connection with wise spending tor saving) is to real txe the relative importance of future as compared with prsssut nssdA"

BEATEN AND I1OBBED.

Held up, beaten and robbed of s17.5O, was the experience of Harry Kowluk of 149 Church street. Satur- day night, as he WAS returning to his home. The robbery occurred at Crescent avenue and Hallett street, and is the third which has taken place in that locality in the past l w days. Howluk says there were four men in the gang, who suddenly sur rounded him. Without saying a word one of the men hit him over the head with a blackjack, knocking him to the sidewalk When he re- covered his senses his money was gone.
 He was treated at the Emergency hospital for a bad scalp wound, and decorations about the face which he received as be fell to the sidewalk He was unable to give any real dis cription of his assailants other than to say that one of them was tall. the rest shorter, while ohe of the men was wearing a black overcoat, and derby hat.

 That isn't exactly what the Long wood Unit for War Relief work in Brcc kline Is calling, but 1t does take odds and ends of all manner of things, pass magic hands over them, and presently from these heaps of seemingly worthless materials emerge neat piles of most attractive garments. warm for winter, cool for summer, and delight at all times to the eye.

 You would never guess that this bright velveteen came from 8 shoe factory all glued for "Juliets" and then discarded; that 1t was reclaimed by the Unit. lsundered to dispose of the glue, and then made into coats and bonnets; that some of the under wear was once the backing of that same ve1veteen, that some had done service for bigssr. folk and been cut down; that part were made from mill ends of woven underwear, and | art

A THRIFTY QUARTETTE

Eleven days of February, the 18th to the 22nd inclusive, offer unique oppor- tunity for special appeals to the loy- atty, consecration and zeal,-an the qualities inherent in the finest type of patriotism of the American people, and also to the tenderer sentiments which give charm to everyday living The mere mention of the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln carries an in- centive to patriotic fervor and all of its component characteristics, and time. honored St. Valentines Day arouses the more delicate emotions of the hu. man heart This is wonderful galaxy of occasions for the display of senti- ment; but these are practical days, and to omit a suggestion of the now all-important thrift would imply 8 de- plorable lack of up-to-dateness
 Even in the domain of frugaIity, how ever, Washington and Lincoln serve as conspicuous examples to posterity, for each in E;5 way was a shining ex- emplar of what economy of resources may stand for. The Father of his Country was one of the wealthiest men of his time, yet In a larger way there is no greater example of thrift than that of General Washington himself during the war for independence, and i his thrift was of time and opportunity as well as of money. His care of his soldiers and conservation of his sup plies brought victory from 'vhat at I times seemed inevitable defeat.
 Abraham Lincoln came from a home where the utmost thrift was necessary 1 for bare existence. Thrift was in grained in every incident of his early life He would willingly endure any privation for the purchase of a boo from which he could absorb the educa- tion he craved, which was thrift of the best sort Saving in itself Is never so wholly commendable as when 1t is practised for the purpose of making possible the best things in life.
 ! This year good old St. Val, patron saint of lovers and children, seizes the novel opportunity for exploitation by attaching to his tender missives tiny Thrift Stamps or their more valuable i big brothers, War Savings Stamps : But when all Is said. for an example of thrift combined with affection our thought reverts to the love story of Benjamin and Deborah Franklin It is true they were not born within the mystic circle of dates included in the eleven days mentioned, but the ar rival of the Father of Thrift was but few days in advance. He saved that he might enjoy the real things of life. and when the infant American Repub- lie needed his aid. he gave not only his own private fortune. won by thrift, but almost by his personal security alone obtained loan after loan for the | new government.
 In the celebration of the birthday festivals of the two great men whom all Americans revere, and the annual trisute to the legendary patron of lovers old and new. it is not uniting to include a thought of Benjamin Franklin and-War Savings Stamps.

came rom scraps from mems running drawers. obtained from sporting goods house; that a certain pretty coat and bonnet was once a portiere and that the same portieres interim ing is now turned into half a dozen small coats and hoods: that this cun- ming little dress was once shirt on the back of Boston banker. An old bathing suit made into dress is the joy of an Italian lass. Old bed ticks have been turned into bloomers, romp- CTS and overalls for small boys By the time this reaches your eye these same overalls may be actually doing service on 8 tiny French boy as he hips his parents clear away the de- bris of their former home that they may build Q new one, for the garments are sent out as soon as made.
 The service has grown until there are now etghty-hve branches in Massa- chusetts and New Hampshire. More over the work has been given official recognition by the War Savings Com mittee of New England as one of the
 finest examples of real thrift of which they know. and 1t has been made the basis for 8 salvage department of the committee with Mrs. H. Parker Whit
 lngton, the originator of the Long, wood Unit, as director. Not only will the garment making be encour- aged, but the department is putting into action plan whereby junk men will give Thrift and War Savings Stamps in exchange for the waste ma tSrial that acCunuistes ar ia thrawu away in the majority of households.

WHAT HAVE YOU DoNE7

Thrift Stamps were not at all popu- lar in one of the rooms Of certain city school. Every spare penny went for candy, sour pickles or toy balloons.
 One day when the teacher had about despaired of ever interesting her chil- dren in saving their money for Thrift Stamps, little Italian girl, the poorest in the room, asked for one. You see I've gone without my morning lunch for five weeks hoping to save enough money to buy me 8 new dress. Now I've decided that I ought to be helping Uncle Sam and so I'm going to buy Thrift Stamps"
 Thus Thrift Stamp number one' came into the possession of one of the pupils in room eleven, and as if by magic everyone began to save his money for stamps.
 At the end of four months one hun. dred and forty dollars worth of stamps had been purchased by those same children who always before had spent their pennies for pickles and toy bal looms.

THRIFT STAMPS AS VALENTINES.

That St. Valentines Day is approach. ing is Indicated by displays in the win. dows of the stationers of cards and various trifes bearing vivid crimson hearts and other appropriate emblems The character of the day, however. has considerably changed, and an in. quirer was surprised when told re gently that the exchange of valentines Is now oftener between women or per sons who delight to send occasional friendly greetings, than between sweet hearts or would-be lovers. The more sentimental sort are especially in- tended for children, and some charm ing things are shown. The hearts and arrows and Cupids still adorn them. but many are also of military charac- ter, with soldiers in khaki, sailors in blue, tiny Red Cross nurses, and even guns, tents and other paraphernaIia of war.
 Next to St. Nicholas, St. Valentine Is 8 patron saint of children. The ad- vent of the postman on the 14th of February is hailed with squeals of de- light, and the secrecy which shrouds the personality Of the senders of the
 
 mystery.
 Most of the pretty missives come from grown-ups, from the sisters and cousins and aunts who grasp every op- portunlty to contribute to the happi- nes of their small relatives and any thing original for the purpose is eagerly sought. Thrift Is the watch word of the hour, and why should not the valentine be used to emphasize it's importance? Why not utilize the new issue Of Thrift and War Savings Stamps? Attached to pretty valen- tine, especially one of patriotic char acter, 8 little green Thrift Stamp would be prtzed by the recipient for its intrinsic worth, and would also convey several important suggestions, such as economy, patriotism and helpfulnees.
