MANY REASONS WHY NATION
DESIRES HOUSEHOLD THRIFT

Household thrift helped win the
war. 1t will fortify the peace, making
America powerful, it's people prosper
Gus, and it's homes happy.
Thrift is steady earning, wise
spending, sane saving, careful invest
ing, and the avoidance of all waste.
What the members of one family
produce in outside industry and in the
home adds to the nationai product or
wealth heap" of food, clothing, and
all desirable goods; this national
wealth heap is divided among us all,
and out of it every family, each one
of us, gets his living.
What one home wastes is taken
away from the Nations wealth, and
makes all homes that much poorer.
The war taught us to practice
thrift together in food, in clothing,
and in all goods, in order to serve
America and save the world. Our
country asks continued thrift in the
home as a guarantee that we shall re-
main prosperous, progressive, in
dependent, and dependable Nation.
By thrift every household can take
its part gladly in every Government
loan; by investing in Government Sc
curities it can safeguard its future,
and increase its income so as to full
fill the American ideal of personal
independence and constant progress
toward better living.
Thrift is permanent service which
the household can render to the Ma
ton.

WAYS TO FRESHEN SILK

Silk may be treated in much the
same way as woolens; send for Thrift
Leahet No. for directions.
Ribbons-Spread the ribbon fiat on
Il smooth, hard surface like a table
marble slab and sponge or brush
with lukewarm water in which little
mild soap has been dissolved. Rinse
by holding the ribbon stretched be-
tween the hands and passing it
through bowl of clear water of the
~ame temperature. Dry by spreading
it out straight and fiat on a smooth,
hard surface. Draw the hand gently
over it to press out air bubbles
which NAV have formed under the
ribbon and would make it look "blis-
tered" why dry.

Where the Banjo Came From,

The modern banjo was introduced
into England from the United States,
to which country 1t was probably
taken by the African slaves, who
originally obtained the idea from In
dia. The unmuslcnl name "banjo"
seems to have been derived from
"hanya," the name of Senegambian
instrument of the guitar species.

Exercised Discretion.

Richard, on his first visit to the
country, climbed the fence into the
field where Jersey COW was grazing.
The COW, being somewhat Of pet,
greeted him with a loud and joyous
nloo, whereupon Richard beat a hasty
and disorderly retreat. mo, I wasn't

WAYS TO FREsHEN VELVET

Velvets get defaced by having the
pile of nap crushed. 1t can often
he raised again by careful steaming.
Lay wet cloth over the back of the
velvet. lift the two together, and
pass them over an inverted hot iron,
holding the wet cloth next the iron;
or hold the velvet stretched over the
steam from a vessel of hot water or
a steam spreader on the spout of
teakettle, with the back of the velvet
toward the steam.
Dust may be removed from velvet
by brushing, then sponging carefully
and steaming.

LEGION CHIEFS
TALK BENEFITS
Changes in Sweet Bill Are
Proposed in Executive
Session Of Leaders.

Fifty-six delegates to the conference
OF State commanders OF the American
Legion last night at the Raleigh Hotel
In executive session discussed ways
and means Of inducing Congress TO
enact immediate legislation to insure
to disabled men and their families and
ex-service men the benefits TO which
they are entieled.
The debate in executive session was
concentrated upon the Sweet and Wat
son bills now pending in Congress. the
former already having passed the
House. Amendments were recommend
ed to the Swee; bill.
They provide:
That the principles of the bill be ex-
tended so that term insurance as well
able at option in a lump sum: the
elimination OF all restrictions as to
, class Of permitted beneficiaries; the
relief from payment of term insur-
ance OF certain classes OF service men:
also to provide without charge hos
pital and medical care for all honor
ably discharged service men for one
year from the date OF their dis
charge.
Another amendment recommended
was to combine under one head the
activities for disabled men Of the
War Risk Bureau. the Vocational
Board and the Public Health Service.
A plan was mapped out by the
executive session to put the legion
program before individual members
OF Congress today so that the leg
islative branch of the governme Mt
will be convinced OF the necessity
for immediate action.
A meeting was called for tomor-
row at which the proposed Soldiers
Land bill will be taken up.
In the morning the delegates met
at the War Risk Bureau at the in
vitation OF Director Jones to dis
cuss methods OF eliminating dim
culties and delays in finding and
serving those entitled to the bu-
reau's help.
An address OF welcome to the ie-
gionaries was made by Secretary OF
the Treasury Glass. Director Jones
and the members were invited to
call attention to any shortcomings
of the bureau or make recommended
tions for improved service which
would benefit the disabled men.
Tonight the members of the con-
ference will be entertained at din
ner at the House restaurant in the
Capitol by Senators and members of
the House of Representatives who
are interested in legislation affect
ing the former service men.
