SYSTEM IN REGULAR SAVING
Money Should Be Made Easy to De-
poslt and Then Comparatively
Hard to Withdraw.

'The only way FOR a man regularly
to save money, unless he be one OF
those individuals possessed Of an ex-
traordinarily> unrelenting character"
according to Samuel Crowther, writing
in System, the Magazine of Business,
"is for the money to be passed into the
savings account before>it reaches him
that is, to put him in the position,
once he has made his resolution, of
having to make another resolution to
quit saving in order to stop the process.
"Finally, take the convenience Of
withdrawal. A man will rightly hesi-
tate about going into any system Of
saving which locks up his funds Tor
any long period Of time. The average
worker has no great margin between
income and outgo and he has to be pre-
pared for a rainy day-for birth, for
a death, for long Illness. He cannot
afford to put measurable part of his
6unds out of reach. II his money IS to
go from him for long time he very
naturally will not deed away anything
like SO much as he would If the money
were always available On the other
hand any system Of saving in which
Withdrawals may be easily and secret
~ made IS faulty. The funds should
be available- upon short notice, there
should be penalty for withdrawal,
which penalty should be large enough
to stop Withdrawals for frivolous pur-
poses and yet not 80 large as to work
anything which savors Of injustice on
4 man who honestly needs the money"

GOOD ADVICE TO SCHOOL
CHILDREN OF DELAWARE
Educational Committee of Safety
Council Issues Warnings Per
tincnt to Vacation Time.

Realizing that with the approach Of
vacation time. the school children of the
State will have oil their time for recrea-
ton and amusement. the educational
committee of the Delaware Safety Council
has issued the following pertinent advice;
Bums-When playing with Fire
works keep n safe distance away from them
when the fuses are lighted Ii is sometimes
the small fireworks that cause injuries
If you can have just as much fun on the
4th of July without fireworks it is much
safer To let them alone. Don't play with
matches If you build bon-hres don't
build them on windy days and don't
get too close TO them II you have on loose
clothing that might easily catch fire.
Falls When climbing trees To pick
fruit, climb only where the branches are
strong and where there are many oi them
so that You can grab one easily II YOU
slip. Also choose safe ladders. II Is very
easy TO meet with an accident playing
around o building thati is being built. II
is much better to stay away from them.
Avoid playing ON stairwayR.
Drowning that a good swimmer II
nearby when you swim in deep water.
Make sure that the water is deep enough
before YOU dive Let yourself into cold
water gradually 1t is better to go swimming
moro often than to stay in too long at
one time Don't go in swimming until Mt
least one hour after eating. Let your food
digest properly and YOU will run less chance
of getting cramps Keep away from ponds
that have cold springs in them. Dont
dare fellow to take chance IN deep
water
Barefeet-Keep broken glass of the
streets and sidewalks and ont of the yard
Turn down or remove any projecting
nails you may find and don't play in places
where there may be nails projecting from
loose boards, etc.
Sunstroke- Keep in the shade "a much
as possible and don't play too hard when
il is very hot, or drink ice water when over
heated.
Firearms Never point gun at your
self or anyone else Examine the cartridge
chamber 10 make sure that guns are un-
loaded before leaving them around.
Railroads Keep away from railroad
tracks There are much better ways Of
having good time than PLAYING around
cars Always look both ways before you
cross railroad tracks,
Streets Don't be a ''lay-walker' on
city streets. Cross 1T crossings. Try to
find a vacant lot or playground 70 play
in. It is dangerous % play IN the street.
Look both ways before running out into
the street
