Supplementing the letters sent out
by her and Director Lewis, a 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. 1t 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 liv.
ing and In establishing the permanent
practice Of saving money and material.

follows:
"January-To keep accounts. Each

count of her daily expenses. grouping
them under such items as rent, food,
clothing. household service. amuse~

'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 or
these organizations to invest their saw
