Tn story that ranks as oTe of the years greatest works of fiction and with a supporting cast possessing names that read like an actors bene- fit performance, Miss Anita Stewart returns to the ranks of screen stars al the Empire theatre for one en- tire week starting with the perform auces of next Sunday, in the first of her own big super productions ''Nirtu- ous Wives. The play is adapted from the book of that title by Owen Johnson, and is the same extraordi- nary production which quite upset bIase New York a brief time ago dur ing its engagement at the strand theatre.
 The story deals with the idle rich. and especially those of the married kind who consider their marriages "as a lega lIzed excuse for circulating in couples" That is the way Owen Johnson puts 1t in his book.

THE NEED OF CON-
SERVING GASOLINE

That there is urgent need of con-
serving the supply of gasoline if the
ever increasing demand i, to be met,
is pointed out elsewhere in this issue
in an announcement by the Standard
Oil Company. Everybody interested
in gasoline, including tie oil refiners,
automobile engineers and the govern
ment itself, is giving great deal of
thought to this problem.
The war called the attention of the
people to the drastic need of avoiding
waste. What the Food Administration
did to conserve food is still vividly in
the memory Of everybody in the coun-
try. What the Fuel Administration
did, while Just as valuable, was not so
spectacular and there are many facts
about the conservation Of gasoline ard
other petroleum products which have
net hitherto been brought out
For the past few years the petrole.
um and automobile industries have
both been making great efforts to keep
the supply of gasoline up to the de-
mand. The oil producers have been
stimulated to find new sources of sup
ply, and have sunk many new wells.
Oil retiners and chemical engineers
have been improving processes Of re-
finlng, which have made the crude oil
yield more gasoline than was thought
possible ten years ago. Automobile
engineers have constantly improved
the efficiency of engines and the meth
DDS of cafburzation, so that gasoline
used will give the greatest power. and
mileage.
So great was the need of conserving
gasoline in all parts. of the county that
President Wilson appointed govern.
ment committee last summer to deter.
mine on and adopt standard specifca.
tions for gasoline and other petroleum
products.

THRIFT AS A
STABnIZER OF BUSINESS
The Foundation Upon Which AL
Successful Enterprises Are
Based.

In a recent address in New York
City Mr. William Mather Lewis con
trasted thrift with mere saving.
Thrift, he said, is a much broader mat
ter than mere saving Thrift is care
and prudence in the management OF
ones affairs; the foundation upon
which every successful and enduring
business enterprise is based
The man who boards his money, who
deprives himself OF the decencies OF
life in order to accumulate, is going
counter to the Declaration OF indie
pendence- is narrowing his life,
restricting his liberty, and shutting
himself away from true happiness
He who spends his money wisely,
who aportions his dollars intelngently
against the. needs Of today and the
needs OF tomorrow, who, in other
words, is practicing thrift, is investing
In Liberty and happiness, is securing
life more abundantly.
The miser lays aside a surplus by
refusing to buy those things which
necessity and comfort and the good Of
his community require. The thrifty
man buys literally and fntelfigently;
he makes very sure that the shoes for
which he exchanges tie product OF
many hours labor contain good work
manship and good material; that the
meat he carries home at night goes
on the table. not IN the garbage can.
He insists that the dollar he hands
the employee be earned by an hour OF
honest labor. A thrifty man Is careful
OF other things than money Such
one does not arrive at the station half
an hour before train time. II his time
is worth three dollars an hour he does
not use it up on work that a three-doI-
lar-a-day assistant could do. Thrift
consists in making the most of ones
resources, tangible and intangible
making the most Of them for the bene-
fit of self and of ones fellows.
As a means Of thrift, Mr.. Lewis ad- /
vocated the formation Of War Savings /
Societies and investment in War Saw +
ings Stamps.

HOW THE FAMILY INCOME
SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED
Every Family Should Have Own Per
sonal Household Budget

The household is a corporation
with certain definite obligations
and a more or less certain income,
and it should, therefore, have a
definite budget.
No general budget can be so framed
as to 1T the needs Of every family.
Families differ, even when identical in
size, number, sex and general situa-
ton, but no family can thrive and
progress without sound and sane T.
nancing, without arrangement of rea-
sonable financial margin. without reg
ular saving and investments, such as
are offered by Thrift and War Savings
Stamps; and only intelligent adher
ence to an intelligent budget can be
trusted, under ordinary circumstances,
to bring about the desired results.
Methods Of appropriation. however,
differ; a method which proves feasible
in given family would be worse than
useless in another; but certain car
dinal principles may be safely laid
down
The amount OF possible savings
should be set apart definitely and
dgidly adhered to. Other allowances
may be variable or they may be held
within hard and fast limits. One plan
after another may be tried, IL liked.
until the best one suited is found
All things considered. the most easily
efficient budget usually Is that which
allows certain share OF the income
for each budget head listed, holds
r1gidly within the items OF appropria-
ton. and wisely applies any balance
or surplus to the savings or recreation
account
