THRIFT" THAT DOESN'T PAY
Some Suggestions for the Housekeeper
and for Those Who Are
Too Saving.

There are some thrift suggestions
that do not always pay, remarks a
writer in the New York Sun.
It>dOesn't pay, for instance, to wrap
the ice in your icebOx up in newspaper
to save the ice when by so doing you
will keep the rest of the icebox from
being kept cool. You may save your
ice, but you may lose more than the
worth of the ice In meat and vegeta-
bles that have been spoiled.
1t doesn't pay to make a cake with
out butter or eggs when you have to
throw half of the cake away because
no one will eat IT.
1t doesn't pay to do your own house
cleaning to save the expense of WON
an by the day when this means that
you are not able to have dinner at
home at an expense of rather more
than new material would cost.
1t doesn't pay to deal with grocer
who underselIs the other grocers lit
tie because he has no delivery service
when you spend an hour in getting
your supplies in order to save 10 cents.
There are other ways that you can
make an hours time worth much more
than that.
1t doesn't pay to set so economical
a table that your children and your
husband will have a craving for candy
and between meals that will cost very
much more than would be needed to
set a really bountiful table.

HOPE INSTEAD OF DESPAIR
Inscription Suggested for Portal Of
British Institution Would Seem
Peculiarly Happy.

Above the entrance to the prison on
Dartmoor, Eng, which is now to be
done away with, two Latin words are
cut into the stone, which may be rem
dered "Spare the vanquished," and it
was In this spirit the French prison
ers in the NapoleOnic wars as well as
American prisoners in the War Of 1872
were received and treated, and in time
allowed to live on parole in the neigh
boring villages and towns.
Stories of these refined and charm
ing hostages have delighted the heart
of youthful readers of many genera
lions, and the work done by them in
carving and carpentering is still care
fully treasured In many a home in
DartmOor to the present day. Little
could they have imagined that the fine
air would make Dartmoor as famous
a resort as some Of the highlands of
Switzerland, and that after having be-
come a convict prison about go years
ago, the place Of their Incarceration
would be turned into an institution
for training lads on the Borstal sys-
TEN. The boys will have freedom, and
will be acquiring knowledge Of farm
ing and reclamation work, as well as
other means Of gaining a living and
fitting them to become valuable mem
bers of society. The boys will be
merely hostages, and another legend
should be carved over the gateway,
this time something more suitable to
the occasion, such as Take hope, all
you who enter here."-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

For the Comfort Of the Hen
Adair County, KY.

One reason no more eggs are
produced in this county, says one
farmer, is because of indiffer-
ence of the men. The women
does the best she can with no
help or encouragement from
many a husband. There are a
few men in the county who are
interested in hens and in every
case the county agent has found
an ardent advocate for the mod
est hen. One man says that for
the feed they consume there is
mo e money in hens and eggs
than in the best dairy herd in
the county and much less work.
You men. help the women with
the hens, give them a chance
and see results.
What do you think of this:

tree and said; Nobody cares

sniders as COMPANIONS.

Of all creatures to choose as pets
spiders seem to be the strangest. Yet
many famous men have formed real
friendships with spiders. Beethoven,
when studying the violin at the age of
seven years, had a spider so accustom-
ed to him that it would crawl on to
his arm while he was practicing. OF
Paganini it is said that whenever he
played a certain air on his violin a
spider approached him and stood still
listening until he had finished. Gaetry,
author of Richard Occur de Lion"
tells of spiders that used to perch mo-
tionless upon the piano while he
played.

Birds Tnar burrUw.

Persons are not accustomed to think
Of birds as burrowing animals, but the
putin answers to that description. II
is a chunky little fowl, less than q
foot high, with a large and powerful
beak. For home it scratches a hole
in the ground sometimes az much as
four feet deep. To capture a putin
one must go digging. 1t is rather a
job; and, inasmuch as the bird bites
and claws f1ercely, one is likely to
suffer in the process. Thus the crea-
ture has maintained its numbers on
many a lonely rockery, where other
species of wild fowl have been killed
off and exterminated.

The President Elect.

The Evening Post will attempt
at a later date to discuss in some
detail the responsibilities that
will confront President-elect
Harding when he assumes the.
great Office to which he has been
elected; here it is only necessary
to say that, as a law. abiding cit
izen we accept the verdict of the
people, and as an American first
we pledge our assistance to the
new President in everything he
may do to advance the interests
and the honor of the American
people.
The campaign that has been
made for Mr.. Harding has been
a bad campaign; there has been
a great deal of misrepresenta-
ton, and, in the end, many peo-
pie voted with different impress
sinns as to what Mr.. Harding
will do. The Evening Post has
construed his speeches to indi-
cate that he is irrevocably op-
posed to the Versailles treaty
and the League of Nations;
there are men and women who
voted for Mr.. Harding who have
reached a different conclusion.
What Mr.. Harding will deter
mine upon between this date
and the day of his Inauguration
we do not know, but we do
know that, if he elects to recon-
mend joining the league even
with reservations beyond those
we would ourselves advocate,
the Evening Post, as one news
paper that supported Cox. will
stand by him in that step, un-
less such reservations are obvi-
ously destructive.
We do not wish Mr.. Harding
to fail in the Presidency; We
wish him to succeed. From the
day he takes the oath of Office he
will be our President. And let
the men and women who voted
for Cox now determine that
they will not initiate the most
partisan of the Republicans in
partisanship. but will aid the
new President where they can
and when they can in the i'm.
portant matters that await set.

Also as more and more of the pic
lures appear the readers will realize
more fully just how much it means
when our statistician, DIR. Il. J. Cat
tell, states that there are 400 900
workers in Philadelphia who earn more
than ST 100000 day and who are in
large measure responsible for the fact
that there ere nearly 500,0 savings
accounts in the banks of Philadelphia.
They will also better understand how
il happens that there are $50. coo home
owners in the city and that the per
capita wealth. $4,000. is about twice the
average per capita wealth in the United
States.
An interesting fact that will be de-
duced from the pictures by those who
study them carefully is that workers in
several plants which apparently have
no relation whatever to each other
really cooperate in producing articles
which are credited to one or another
plant or group of workers. One plant
often produces goods by the aid of ma =
chinery. which was manufactured in an
other plant driven by motorpower
equipment produced in still another
plant. and those others in turn OBJ
taincd their machinery from other fac
tories manned and 'womaned" by

'BR0THERLY POLICE.
MAKE JAIL REPORT.
Four Alleged to Have Been
Falsely Convicted Of AS
saulting Sailor
PROTECTED MARRIED MEN

Patroman Sherman Clark, one Of the
four patrolmen who are said TO have
served three months each in Jail to pro
tect married men on the force guilty
of beating up two sailors, will present
n full statement of the affair to Di-
rector Cortelyou today.
Director Cortclyou has promised to
give the matter deer. and immediate con
sideration. The report was made up
and will be presented at his suggestion.
The assault of the two sailors was
made in the cellroom Of the Eleventh
and Winter streets station in 1918.
Clark. Edward kecgan, Henry Bellerby
and John II. Weaver, all single, served
the Jail terms for the assault.
When Director Cortelyou's ques
tionnaires to patrolmen were sent out
and it became known that he proposed
to fire those WHO had served terms in
Jail the friends Of the four patrolmcn
began to protest.
Then the director heard of the affair
and heard that the convicted men were
innocent. He started complete in
vcstigatiou. So far the evidence shows
that his latest development is the true
ono.
Friends of the men have written let
ters to the director telling him what
they know of the affair. The five
married men may be dismissed if the
story proves to be true.
Lieutenant Van Horn, who was in
command of the Eleventh and Winter
streets station when the assault Oc-
Cured, denied all knowledge of the af-
fair this morning. He explained that
he was i'll and under the care of
police surgeon on that day.
