THRIFT Is STILL PRACTISED
BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

OF course there has been a great
deal of foolish, silly and eXtravagant
spending That fact can not be dis
puted yet the emphasis placed upon
this spending does not give true
picture of conditions. Not all of us
have spent our increased earnings
for silk stockings by the gross, for
silk shirts by the dozen, for twenty
dollar shoes and four-dollar handker
chiefs. While the profiteers and
spenders were being denounced in
fifty-seven languages and forty dia-
lects, most of US prudently and un-
obtrusively put away ten-spot now
and a fver then, saying nothing about
it until we were ready to give that
ancient mortgage on the home
swift kick, to buy that bond or to
make the first payment on that piece
of land we had coveted for years
says the August Sunset.
The enormous increase in savings
banks deposits is evidence of this
quiet, unostentatious thrift, at least
so far as the Pacific coast is con-
cerned And the number of firms
selling solid investment securities has
grown and multiplied like Russian
paper money. These bond houses
could not make expenses unless they
were selling large quantities Of
securities, and the securities could
not be sold if all of us spent one
hundred percent of our revenue IN
joyous buying.
There is additional evidence of
thrift, In 1916 the life insurance
companies of the United States sold
policies of total value OF
$4,212,OOO,OOO 1t was the biggest
insurance year in the history Of the
business. In 1918 the federal
government wrote insurance, yet the
private companies wrote new buSl-
ness aggregatng $5,138,OOO,OOO. In
1919 the new insurance rose to the
tremendous total of $8,6OOOOO,OOO,
more than twice as much as the 1916
figures, and during the first five
months of this year new insurance
was being placed on the books at
the rate Of 1000, 100000 per
annum.
Life insurance is compulsory
saving. This year five million men
and women are acquiring the habit.
Last year four million others did
likewise These figures indicate that
not all of us have gone stark, ravlng
spendng-mad.
Also there is that little matter Of
three billion dollars in favorable
trade balances this year, meaning
that we have exported goods of that
value for which we did not get paid
at once. Somebody had TO pay for
the labor, the raw material and the
freight. That somebody was the
great American public which has
been quietly silently financing the
huge sales to Europe out OF its
savings.
Silk socks have gotten the pub
lcity, but the old cotton sock has
been getting the largest part Of the
money Just the same.

BiIIboards Versus Beauty,

Thus it comes about that people who
ride out into the country, eager for
the rest and refresh-nent which only
the open country can give, find every
field and every little hill dotted by
V-shaped signs, erected in the most ap-
proved fashion. and ornamented with
the approved holdings and machine
made cornices, while the beautiful Wis
tas that might otherwise make each
turn in the road a new delight are cut
short by successive examples Of the
approved "head-on" "showings." One
needs but to test his own sensations
ON such a motor ride to know how
completely the billboard men are
sitting his power to enjoy natural
scenic beauty spots" All their scruples
have not preserved to him his native
rights in the open country.-Christian
Science Monitor.

LEARNED LESSON OF THRIFT
Boys and Girls of New Jersey Town
: Have Made Record of Which
They Are Proud.

If there has been less talk of the
servant problem in BridgetOn, New
Jersey, than elsewhere, it is quite ex-
plainable. Not to be outdone by Their
European sisters and brothers in mat
tiers of thrift and Industry, 25 young
sters in that town have invested $1,000
in United States thrift stamps this
year, thanks to their own hard work
Boys and girls alike have welcomed
opportunities of doing remuneratiW
dishwashing, sweeping, busting, store
clerking, baby-mindingr errand-run-
ming, ETC., with the goal of economy
symbOlized by government stamps
ahead of them. The more ambitious
have undertaken cutting weeds, carry
ing coal, sitting ashes, selling papers,
raising chickens, cleaning pavementS
and some have even won prizes to add
to their savings. Having found that
time can be converted into money it Is
doubtful whether these boys will again
find the street corner a worthwhile
place for spending idle hours, or the
girls be content to waste periods in
porch chatter.

TOWNS NEED OF WooDLoT
Would Be Paying Proposition in These
Days of Railroad Strikes
and Coal Shortages.

Is there a little woodlot in your
town? Zurich, Switzerland, has had
one working for 1t for six centuries
and it is still paying big dividends.
There is great big lesson in this, the
American Forestry association of
Washington says, II these days Of
railroad strikes and coal shortages
Many travellers are familiar with the
''town forests Of Europe. One of
the best known of these is the commu-
nal forest belonging to the city of
Zurich, in Switzerland, which has an
area of 2,S40 acres, yielding on the
average an annual income of nearly
$4,000, or about $500 per acre; and
this is the most remarkable because
most of. this income is derived from
the sale of firewood. Which is perhaps,
the cheapest product of a forest.
This tract of forest land has been
Under management since the year
1909, and it has been steadily increas-
ing in value during these six centu-
ries, writes Prof. John Bentley, Jr.. Of
Cornell, in the American Forestry
Magazine. In this country the num-
Der Of towns and cities that are prac-
ticing forestry is still small and their
efforts have been confined chiefly to
the protection of watersheds from
which the citrs water supply is
drawn.

GARDEN CITIES HELP TRAFFIC
Transference Of Part Of Population
Relieves Congestion on Cars
in London.

! Dense morning fogs have combined
with the now chronic congestion Of
passenger traffic to make Londoners
realize too wildly the inconvenience
of an over centralized population, re-
marks the London Times. London is
undoubtedly too large for health, for
happiness and for economical living
and production; and, although the
amenities of life in this and other
great cities have in some ways been
increased by providing dormitories at
distance from the work room, the
problem of daily transit has been pro-
portionately intensified.
Much is to be said for the garden
suburb, but even more for the garden
city. The two are often confused or
falsely identified, but from the point
of view Of transport the difference be
tween is fundamental. Garden sub
urbs represent an extension of the
daily traffic of a great town to a'mOre
distant circumference garden cities,
a permanent transference of section
Of the population to a less crowded
center.
Every 1nnaD1tant or garden suburb
who works In the city contributes
twice a day his or her share to the
ever increasing problem of traffic con-
gestion. The colonist Of a garden city,
on the other hand, definitely relieves
the overcrowded centers of the duty Of
Transporting him to and from his work
and catering for him and his. Dwell
ers in garden suburbs are excursion
lists; the garden citizen is an emigrant.
1t Is of the nature of the community
to which he belongs that he shall not
only sup, sleep, breakfast and ocp
casionally play lawn tennis and grow
beans or roses there, but shall work
there as we'll; and for his reward as
a pioneer he escapes the strains anu
stretches Of the straphanger.

KEEPING POULTRY IN TOWNS
No Necessity for Flocks Becoming
Nuisance to Neighbors 1t Reason
able Care Is Taken.

Objection is frequently raised to the
keeping of poultry in towns and cities
because of the odor which may result
and also because Of ROSTERS Growing,
particularly in the early morning. In
some cases city regulations have been
formulated to prevent or to controi
poultry keeping. Where there are city
regulations it is necessary to find out
their provisions and to conform to
them. But there is no necessity for
the poultry flock to become nuisance
to neighbors, says the United States
department Of agriculture. If the drop
ping boards are cleaned daily and
the houses and yards are kept in a
reasonably clean condition there will
be no annoying odors.
The male bird need not be a NUS
ance. Unless it is intended to hatch
chickens from the flock it is unneceS-
sary to keep a male bird. federal poul-
try specialists point out. The fact
that there is no male in the flock will
have absolutely no effect on the num-
Der of eggs laid by, the hens. If it
is desired to mate the hens and to
hatch chicks the. male bird should be
sold or eaten as soon as the Matching
season Is over. This Is desirable not
only to eliminate noise but also to
save the feed that would be eaten by
the male, and for the reason that the
eggs produced after the male is dis

NOBLE RELICS OF THE PAST
TriumphaI Arch of Titus, at Rome,
and the Colosseum, Are Splendid
in Their Ruin.

The triumphaI arch of Titus in
Rome was built in 20 A. D., to COM
memOrate the defeat of the Jews, and
was dedicated to the Emperor Titus
after his death. 1t is adorned with fine
sculptures in relief On the frieze out
side is sacrificial procession and on
the inner side Titus is seen crowned
by Victory in a quadriga driven by
Roma. On another part of the arch is
a triumphal procession of Jews, the
Table of Shew Bread and the seven
branched candlestick. In the center
of the vaulting the consecrated emper-
or is seen being carried to heaven by
an eagle.
In 1882 the arch was a set of ruins,
and some of the medieval additions
were removed and it was partly recon-
structed. The colosseum, with seats
for $4,000 spectators, originally called
the Flavian amphitheater, was, COM
pleted by Titus in the year 80 A. D.,
and derives it's later name, probably,
from a colossal statue of Nero. The
colosseum is now all in ruins.

A trap nest is a laying nest so ar
ranged that after q hen enters it she
Is confined until after released by the
attendant.
When possible it is advisable to
trap nest the layers for the following
reasons:
1. To tame the birds, thereby tend
ing toward increased egg production.
2. To furnish definite knowledge
concerning traits and habits of indi-
vldualS.
3. To furnish the only satisfactory
basis for utility or other breeding.
4. To eliminate the nonproductive
hen.
5. To add mechanical precision to
judgment and experience in develop
ing and maintaining the utility Of a
flock.
