Fewer Cigars
Are Used Now

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Fewer
cigars and less chewing and smoking
tobacco were used in the fiscal year
1919 than in any of the last seven
years, internal revenue statistics just
issued by the Treasury Department
show. Cigarettes, however, show a
rapidly increasing use, this years
consumption, on which taxes have
been paid, being more than two and
a half times larger than in 1918.
One reason conjectured for the in
creased consumption of cigarettes is
the increase of smoking among wo-
men. The official report, however,
does not touch upon that,

Steamer Corydon
Lost; Survivors
Are Picked Up

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 11.-Nine mem
bers of the crew of the Ward Line
steamer Corydon's crew of SO men
were brought to this port yesterday
afternoon by the Miami Fish Com
pany's schooner Island Home. They
had been adrift on an upturned life
boat without food and water for three
days.
The Corydon sank in the Bahama
channel at 1890 o'clock Tuesday
morning, carrying down with her all
life-boats except one and only the
nine persons brought here survived.
C. c. Christianson, captain of the
Corydon, refused to leave his vessel
and went down with her, according to
survivors.
The Island Home left here early
Wednesday morning in response to a
message evidently relayed and gar
bled in transmission, which said:
"Forty-five persons are adrift be-
tween Fowey Rock lighthouse and
Cape Florida. They are in distress
and without food"
The survivors were in an exhausted
condition when brought here, but be-
cause of the immigration laws it was
necessary to hold them aboard the Is
land Home until government officials
could make the necessary inspection.

Wave of Reckless
Spending Receding

The wave of reckless spending
which followed the war is believed by
officials of the War Loan Organiza-
tion to be receding under the infu-
ence of the educational campaign
conducted this year by the Treasury
Department to turn the thoughts of
the people toward thrift and economy.
An improvement In conditions
throughout the country, especially in
the Southeast, is reflected in the last
report on the sale of thrift and saw
ings tsamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates, according to Silas w.
Davis, Government Director of the
War Loan Organization of the Sixth
Federal Reserve District Every
state in this district showed an in
crease in sales for July in compari-
son with the previous month. While
there was a noticeable improvement
in every district, the Sixth had the
largest number of states to show
gain.
"Our work this year has been
largely educational; teaching the peo-
pie how to use their money intelligent
ly," sal Director Davis. eve have
sought to check waste-waste of
money and material and to impress
upon the wage-earner and house
keeper the wisdom of careful buy
ing and systematic saving. We have
reache people of every class, from
the school child to the capitalist.
"Now our work is beginning to
bear fruit. But there is yet much
to be done. We are hoping for a
steady decrease in waste; an increase
in agricultural and industrial pro-
duction and a growing demand for
securities, as the people
develop the "happy habit of thrift. "
People who realize the folly of ''hand-
to-mouth" living from Savings Stamps
and certificates safe and convenient
within reach of all.
"Thrift may be made a great agen-
cy in reducing the high cost of liv-
ing. It's influence will doubtless be
felt in bringing prices down from
the high levels.
"The most representative women's
are coming into our
educational movement. With the
opening of schools vigorous cam
paign will be conucted to impress
upon the minds of children the vital
lessons of thrift. Thrift Clubs" will
be formed in every school room in
the district and children will be Civ

ments, bugetry and methods of earn
ing movement for investment in gov
ernment securities.
1--WE are confident our work will
have a widespread effect in stabiliz-
ing the market for Government bonds.
This work, which is an essential part
of the thrift movement, is being push
ed by our organization. Fraternal
societies and organizations of every
character are being urged to invest
their funds in these securities.
"There is a growing deman for
the new 500 and $1,000 Treasury
Savings Certificates. The sales of
this form of security has been very
satisfactory since they were put on
the market and we are confident there
will be steady increase in sales as
the thrift movement goes forward.
