WOMEN ARE KEEPING BOOKS
IN 1920 THRIFT CAMPAIGN
Feminine Army Starts Three Months
Test to Pave Way for Safe In
vestment

The savings division Of the treas
| ury department is depending on the
women of the nation not only to help
bring down the high cost of living, but
to establish the permanent practice OF
saving money and material, and finally
the investing of these savings IN Safe
| securities, such as War Savings stamps
and 500 and $1,000 Treasury Savings
certificates.
Under the signature of William
Mather Lewis. director of the savings
division, a letter has been sent to the
presiding officers of all the principal
women's organizations of the country.
The general plan for the work of the
women in 1920 has been worked out IN
a national way by Mrs. Grace G. Bart
lett, vice director in charge of Wom-
ems organizations.
Supplementing the letters sent out
by her and Director Lewis, similar
letter has been sent to all the women's
organizations in the five states of the
Seventh district that have no national
thrift chairmen In his letter Direc-
tor Lewis said in part:
'"The influence of women in working
out the great economic problems is in
valuable. It is in the power of women
to regulate the use and control the
price of the necessities of life. They
are the buyers. They must also be the
savers. When this power is applied in
concentrated way, women will be one
of the greatest factors in solving the
present problem of the high cost OF l1v-
ing and in establishing the permanent
practice of saving money and material.
The savings division called into confer
ence the national thrift chairmen of
the following wOmen's organizations
Association of Collegiate Alumnae,
Daughters Of the American Revolution,
General Federation Of WOmen's Clubs,
National Catholic War council, Ma
tiOna1 Congress Of Mothers and Parent
Teachers associations, National Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women National Fedora
ton of Business and Professional
WOmen's Clubs, National League for
Women's Service; Women's depart
ment, National Civic Federation,
Young Women's Christian association.
sit was agreed that these organiza-
tons should be asked to make test
among their membership of the wis
dom with which money is spent. This
test was to be started January 1 and
continued as an experiment through
February and March. The plan is as
follows:
"January-To keep accounts Each
individual will be asked to keep an ac-
count Of her daily expenses, grouping
them Under such items as rent, food,
clothing, household service. amuse
ments, incidentals, etc.
"February-To save. Each indivi-
dual will analyze the January ex-
penses and make an effort through in
formation gained in January to save
certain amount through conservation
without hardship.
"March-To invest. Each individual
will make a calculation of how much
was saved on living expenses in Feb
ruary over an equal number of days in
January In this month an effort will
be made to encourage the members of
these organizations to invest their saw
ings in government securities"

A Demonstration of
WatsOn's Good Judgment.

Billy Watson, who has been a con-
spicuous figure in burlesque for
thirty-six years with his famous
"Beef Trust" and who is appearing
at the Gayety Theater this week with
an all new show entitled ''The Pari-
sian Whirl," was inspired to unpre
cedented histrionic endeavor by an
overwhelming desire to own a fur
lined overcoat. The ayidity with
which he scanned the furrier's win
dow merely reflected the determina-
ton Of the Watson will to wear the
skins of beasts That determination
sought the quickest way to afflu-
ence, and, to the lad who had a clev-
er German dialect and pair of dane
ing feet, the stage seemed to repre-
sent the line of least resistance. The
rest is common knowledge. Watson
got the fur-lined Benny" and then
began to acquire Brooklyn. After
time ne transferred his interests to
the other side of the water-not
meaning Europe-and now may be
conservatively termed the proprietor
of New Jersey.
That's all very well as far as Wat
son personally Is concerned, but a
great deal OF his popularity has de-
pended, from year to year, upon the
almost uncanny instinct he has dis
played for choosing exceptional per-
formers for his companies For the
last three seasons he has had for his
leading woman and prima donna
Kathryn Pearl. one of the real beau
ties of the variety stage and a gifted
chanteuse whose depletion of char
acter dancing, artistic rendition of
her song numbers and poise' ARE the
outgrowth of a rich experience in all
forms of dramatic and musical ex-
preston, which began when she was
one of the most popular singing SOU
brettes who ever aroused the en-
thusiasm of audiences in the Kohl
and Castle theaters in Chicago.
Billy Watson has pair of particu-
larly shrewd black eyes that snap
with the fire that usually denotes
keen perception and swift analysis.
The best evidence that the eyes do
| not belle the perspicacity of their
| owner is found in the fact that he re-
engages Miss Pearl from season to
season.

Wonea Seek Secrets
OF Maxine. Elicit.

Maxine Elliott is beseeohed almost
constantly by women admired who
beg advice on the secrets OF beauty.
Miss Elliott is generally accredited
with being one OF the most beautiful
women on the American stage, but
Miss Elliott herself AYERS that. she
has no license to give advice as to
how to become Beautiful. To one
feminine correspondent who had been
most persistent In seeking beauty ad-
vice, the actress suggested to her un-
happy admirer that she let well
enough alone.
That is what l do" added Miss
Elliott. One admirer took II for
granted that physical culture had
been the mems whereby Miss Elliott
had attained her symmetrical curves
and beautiful complexion. and begged
facts regarding her system. Miss
Elliott's secretary had to answer this
letter and the seeker of the fountain
of beauty received the following
from the actress
representative:
Miss Elliott has no system: she
never had a system. Like Topsy, she
just 'growed' that way"
