National Committee o1 Bankers Issues New Set
 of Ten Commandments.

St. Louis, Oct 1S-Ten command oients for the guidance of mans life have been drawn up by a Ma .ional Committee of bankers and others to aid in the great drive of 1920 against the cohorts of High Cost of Living.
 This decalogue for the frugal man to stiffen his morale in a battle to save something from the profteers and rent raisers is part of the pro- gram for the National Thrift Week to begin January IT. next.
 Plans for rallying the armies of money savers for the 1920 drive by holding this thrift week were approv- ed by the American Bankers Associa- ton in it's recent convention in this city. The idea already had the en- dorsement of the United States League of Building and Loan Associa- ton, National Federation of Con- strction Industries, Retail Credit Mems Association, National Associa- ton Of Life Insurance Underwriters, National Credit Mems Association, and the American Life Convention and other national bodies. The ten commandments recom- meaded by Walter ". Head, of Oma- ha, vice-president of the National Bank section of the American Bankers Association, are:
 Make q budget. 2.-Keep an intelligent record of expenditures.
 3.-Have a bank account.
 4.-Carry life insurance.
 5.-Make a will.
 Gown your own home eventual ly.
 Play your bills promptly
 S.-Invest in war savings stamps and other government securities.
 9.-Spend less than you earn 1O.-Share with others. Thrift without benevolence is doubtful blessing.
 The eight days of the National thrift week have been named after some points of the financial creed as follows:
 Saturday, Jan. 17.-"Bank Day" or National Thrift Day" to emphasize the need for individual thrift and the service a bank renders a community Sunday, Jan. 18.-"Thrift Sunday ,' with sermons in all American puIpits on the relation of economic life to religious well being and the need ot sharing with others. Monday, Jan- B. NauOna1 1nSur- l ance Day. to stress the need of pro- tecting ones family. Tuesday, Ian. 20 - Own Your Own Home Day. to show why it is desirable and how it is possible tc own your own home. Wednesday, Jan. 21. Make a Will Day." to urge men to make wills.
 Thursday, Jan. 22.-'"Thrift in In | dustry Day. to advocate factory thrift and corporation between l capital and labor. Friday, Jan. 23.-"Family Budget | Day"
 Saturday, Jan. 24. - Pay Your Bills Day"
 Supporting this movement in ad- ! dress to the bankers in their conven- | ton here, Arthur M. East, of New York, national director of the thrift i week movement said: Financial and
 industrial leaders are interested in the increased cost of living because
 they know that In most cases the bill 1 for the increased cost is handed by i the worker to the employer for Hqut- 1 dation The bill for the cost result
 ing from the inefficiency of the aver 1 age man and housewife in the spend | ing of money and their failure to gel l full value for mdney received is also 1 handed to the employer for payment l either in increased demands for 1 wages or in increased dissatisfaction 1 and industrial unrest 1 "So, many employers are learning 1 that, along with plans for stimulat- l ing the interest of the worker In his 1 job, there must go hand in hand with | it an education of employees in fund | amentaI economics and in the use | and value of money.
