Thrift Turns Savings into Home"
U. S. Dept. of Labor,
w. B. Wilson, Sec.
The American Home Owner is the
man who has discovered that thrift
is something more than the boarding
of money. The family sock" and
the old china teapot may be chuck
full of dimes and quarters, or five
and ten dollar gold pieces, and yet
thrift may be unknown to the head
of the house. He may be only a
miser!
Thrift not only saves intelligently,
but it puts saving to work; not only
does it save dollar, but it puts that
dollar where it will thrive, where it
can earn and labor for the welfare
and comfort of it's owner.
On account of suspended building
operations during the war, the United
States now needs almost million
homes. That means rents are high

END OF WAR

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Nearly
six months after the signing of the
armistice Americas war expenses not
only are continuing without abate-
ment, but actually are increasing over
those of the past few moths.
This was shown by Treasury re-
port of Government OUTLAWS for April,
amounting to approximately $1,420,-
100000, of which about two-thirds
went to pay the nations direct war
bills and one-third went to the Allies
to enable them to pay obligations in
Cured in this country heretofore for
war materials and foodstuffs.
The tremendous OUTLAWS in April
raised the United States actual ex-
penditures since the nation entered
the war a little more than two years
ago, to about $30,5000 100000. About
$4,000, 100000 of this has gone to the
Allies and will be repaid eventually.

COST OF WAR
WOULD DIG 400
PANAMA CANALS

The war cost to the Allies and the
United States 100000 100000, accor-
ding to Lieutenant Colonel D. c.
Jackson. He arrived here yesterday
after spending some time in devasta-
ted France, Belgium and Italy obtain
ing figures on losses for the Peace
Conference. He did this task at the
request of President Wilson, his per-
sonal friend.
If this money had been used in CON
structive rather than destructive
work it would have built 10000 Wool
worth buildings (The cost of the
Woolworth building was $9,500,0O0.)
Among other construction feats
which. could have been accomplished
are the following:
5000 Equitable buildings 1925, 000,-
O0o).
500 dual subway systems ($4oO,-
100000.
400 Panama Canals ($439 ,oO0, O00).
The total cost is 1873 times greater
than the total coin circulation in the
United States.
Divided between the people of this
country ($103, 500,473), it would give
per capita wealth of $1,932.35. If
divided between the 5,875,O00 resi-
dents of New York City, each one
would have S34.O42.10.
