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
Monies 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 Is early learned"
Miss Wardell favors the allowance
arrangement at very early age, say
at six or seven. 1t may then be very
small, and out Of II the budding citi-
zen may be expected to provide only
school pencils, tablets, etc. The pur-
chase Of school books provides a log
zeal next step; little later some per-
sonal belongings. such as shoes, may
be added.
II say Shoes" explains Miss War
dell, because children seem to take
more interest in shoes than in most
articles Of wearing apparel, and be-

WOMEN BIG HELP ON
VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
Preliminary Work 10 Well Mapped Out
i big Showing In Former Loans
to Be Exceeded This Time.

Preliminary returns show that the
women workers Of the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve district are out to make
q big showing in the Victory Liberty
Loan. Women chairmen and workers
are everywhere signing up for the
fifth campaign. There have been very
few designations, 1t Is reported, from
women who felt that their obligation
to the nation had ended because the
fighting In France was ended.
: On the contrary, 1t is asserted by
Miss Grace Dixon, director for women.
Seventh district, and by other leaders
in the women's loan activities, the
women workers feel more strongly
than ever their obligation to get out
and personally go after bond subscrip-
lions. The very fact that individuals
are found who do not appreciate the
obligation resting upon the civilian
population has aroused in double force
the patriotic sense of duty in the
breast of the women workers. These
are asserting through letters re-
ceived at Chicago headquarters by
every mail that they intend to work
twice as hard as in any preceding
loan-if that be possible-in order to
counterfeit the "quitter" sentiment
that is manifesting itself among GER
tain individuals In every community.
Preliminary work is we'll mapped
out in a majority Of the counties in
the district. 1t Is planned to have a
larger number Of women workers en-
rolled everywhere than was the case
In the preceding loans. Workers al.
ready are securing pledges froa re-
that better showing will be made In
every state than in any of the Liberty
loans so far placed.
, The Fifth loan, 1t is pointed out. win
come at time when women on the
farms and in the smaller communities
can give an especially large amount
Of time to the loan work. The drive,
coming In April, will precede the &C.
tive farm and garden work and the
women will. therefore, be In q position
to concentrate on the campaign In a
way they were unable to do In the
Fourth loan.
The results of the Victory Loan are
expected to prove monument to the
patriotism and self-sacrifce of the
women of the Seventh Federal Re-
serve district, for the spirit OF service
is the animating principle Of the Amer
lean people at this time.

the palm tree or of other trees substi-
tuted in those countries in which the
palm cannot be procured, and of carry.
ing the, blessed branches In process
sion, in commemoration of Christ's
triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
Palms and branches of the palm
We're used in this historic entry be-
cause the palm was then regarded as
an emblem of victory and the carrying
and waving of its branches was en-
bleInatlc of success and in honor of
royalty.
The date of the first observance of
Palm Sunday is uncertain. In the
Greek church it was apparently OBJ
served as early as the fourth century.
In the middle ages the palm, worn
as decoration, denoted that the per-
son so adorned had made the pill
grimage to the Holy Land.
In. some countries people made use
of figures of Christ seated on an ass.
carved out of wood, which were car
ried in religious professions and even
brought into the church. In other
countries it was the custom to strew
flowers and green boughs in church
yards.
The palms used in the procession of
the day are taken home by the faith
full and used as q sacramentaI. They
are preserved in prominent places in
the houses, barns or even in the fields,
and thrown into the fire during storms.
From the blessed palms are procured
the ashes for use on Ash Wednesday,
Where palms cannot be secured
branches of olive, box elder, spruce or
other trees are used. In Rome olive
branches are distributed to the peo-
pie, while the clergy carry palms fire.

Because every great feast at this
time was in some way a remembrance
of the resurrection of Christ and was
in consequence called Pascha, the
Spanish term pascua florida had it's
origin. Thus it was that in 1912 the
state of Florida. which was settled by
inc. Spaniards, indirectly received it's
name.

The Hare and Easter.

The origin of the Easter rabbit is
unknown. There is German legend
to the effect that the hare was origi-
nally a bird and was changed into a
quadruped by the Goddess Ostara, and
in gratitude to Ostara, or Eastre, the
hare exercises its original bird func-
ton to lay eggs for the goddess on her
festal day. The children among the
Pennsylvania Germans are told on Eas-
ter morning that this "Oshter has"
laid the colored eggs that are given
to them, or which are placed in nests
at some convenient place for the chill
dren to find them.

According to the Punta Gorda

In vain, he says, he has tried
to get some encouragement to
leave off his shoes and wear knee
breeches again.

him to go down the road and be

tending that our people should
wear clothes, especially urging
that our women wear a sufficient
cy for covering purposes. 4
