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, sis 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. It 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 log
zeal next step; little later some per-
sonal belongings, such as shoes, may
be added.

Some Service

Here is The place where | worked

Up climbed along to pretty fair
job--it made no diferece though;
They needed me- or the nation
did, and they didn' make no excuse.
Come on" they said, and well
show you where you'll be of the
greatest use.'
So they sized me up for a khaki
suit and showed me the bunk | drew,
And they taught me to hate the
Germans brute, which wasn't so hard
to do.
And they hung a beautiful service
vice flag up here where worked be-
fore; .xagss
I've just been told that there
ain no job left open for me no more !!
| wish that could have seen it
wave-it must NV been mighty fine;
There's many boy who is in his
grave whose star was on there with
mine.
They hung it high on the outer
wall, a wonderful thing to see,
And because | went when | got
my call they sewed on star for me
took my chance as the others did
and it WASH no holiday;
haye eaten dirt and I've slept in
mud out where there was hell to pay
And they hung up a service flag
back here, beautiful thing, I've
heard;
1t was meant to show how loyal
they were, how deeply their hearts
were stirred
Their cheers were loud when | left
the town;
acknowledge that | was thrilled
But the war is done and the flag is
dowh, and they tell me my job is
filed!
I'm sorry their glorious service
flag no longer will be displayed;
What lot of meaning it must NV
had for the heroes who got it made
They put star On the thing for
me now WASH t that noble, too!
At present there doesn't appear to
be be much left for man to do;
I've walked the town till my feet
are sore;
I'm lonely and sick and broke,
And | guess my star is fallen
