During that week the children of the
United States. their parents and teach
ers will be shown the intrinsic value
of regular and systematic saving n
investment in Government Thrift
Stamps of twenty-five cents value
each.
1t will be an intensive educational
movement based on the actual safes
of the little bonds so as TO implant
Thrift in the minds of the young IN
a practical way. Special advantages
of savings, showing how great Things
have been done on small savings IN
pennies, nickles and dimes which MADE
it possible to put up the WoolWorth
Building, etc, and how every pupil
can have a personal stake IN Ohcle

to thousands of school boys and girls,
by bankers, business men, club women
and others.
DR.. Thomas e. Finegan, State School

movement, saying, 1.-THE government
has designated the week beginning

thrift and to induce pupils 70 buy

Thrift Stamps. Perhaps the two les

are-the lesson of thrift, and the les
son of patriotism. l trust that you
will give this effort your hearty sup

movement which the government is to
make on Thrift Stamp Week will be
successful" Calvin n. Kendall, Com
missioner of Education of New Jersey,

similar sentiments, and have eXhorted
the teachers of their states to do their
utmost to make the campaign a sue

PROHIBITION AN AID
TO SALVATION ARMY

NEW YORK, May 29 (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Prohibition has gen.
orally been a valuable ally of the
Salvation Army in its work among
men. according to reports from
twenty -four superintendents in indus
trial homes throughout the east made
public today at national headquarters
here.
The old-time rounder has virtually
disappeared" the report said, "and
young men who formerly drank heav-
lily and worked intermittent1y are
now working steadily at good wages.
But from many cities the report comes
that men can still get what they want
when they want it,
Liquor. however, is still considered
a problem by the Salvation Army, it
was said. and will furnish the basis
for lively discussions at the sixteenth
annual council of the Eastern Social
Department which will be held for
Ave days in Boston. beginning June I.
The summary Of the report made
public today declares that 1.-The men
who are using the industrial home
are cleaner and better dressed, more
orderly and less profane. and are
requiring more pay. shorter hours
and less work"
