CUT THE EXTRAVACANCE
How a Chicago Shirt Dealer Fared
When He Tried TO Stop
Real Waste.

Those who spend money for things
they do not need are depriving them
selves and enrichine others. We urge
the need for an understanding Of the
value OF money and energy. We
should like each responsible citizen
to think deeply upon the subject Of
waste. to decide in advance the ap-
propriateness with which each dollar
is expended.
A Chicago haberdasher tried 10
persuade a patron that a silk shirt
is less durable than many cheaper
ones.
II don't care about that" said the
shopper: 81 make SIS a week and
I'm going to wear a silk shirt"
For half. yes, sixth the sum, he
coud have bought a garment infinite
ly superior in point Of wear, but
silk shirt he would have; money
tossed away. At the end OF the
week the SIS man is no better off
than he was at s25, for when he had
s25 he bought judlciously.
Girls Of small wages are known to
have entered negotiations for gowns
and coats costing $500 and s4OO. ut
terly dismisssng the responsibility
entailed in such a purchase. Four
hundred dollars would make the first

establishment of peerless sondity.
Ten OF the cheapest silk shirts would
buy a 500 government bond paying
interest for twenty years The price
of a half dozen meals in the loop
would be the nest-egg of a sound bank
account.
The waste is in foolish expenditure
and in lost energy. II all those who
go shopping would go with a definite
idea of buying certain needed things
the saving would be as great TO the
merchants as to the shoppers Mer-
chants spend unmeasurable energy
through clerks in showing goods to
persons who have no idea Of buying.
Numberless persons swarm the
streets looking for things TO buy.
Surely there is no great need where
there is no definite purpose.

Mick the red setter belonging to
Admiral Rodman, Commander-in-
Chief OF the new Pacific Fleet, is the
ranking mascot of the Navy. His life
aboard the New Mexico is one for
which any shore dog would give up
his or her happy kennel But in spite
of Mick's exalted position, he Is Just
as happy with the humblest sailor as
with the Admirars Chief-of-Staff. He
is pictured above with Admiral Rod

mascots The kittens shown are re-
gular sailors, one of them is going up
her ladder to get into a hammock.

Most Navy mascots have their own
Service and Health Records. When
their owners are Transferred to an
other ship the transfer is also entered
in the pets Service Record and if any

tiff who once roamed the decks Of
the gunboat Nashville Sailor would
generally go A. W. o. I. at each port
but always returned in time to catch
the ship before It left. At Havana
Sailor was transferred to the Dixie.
Whether It was the change of home
or the allurements Of Havana is not
known, but Sailor went ashore one
night and never came back
The mascots lead happy life.
Cats and dogs forget that they should
be enemies, goats and monkeys pose
together for their photos, and parrots
on their perches talk in real deep sea
language TO the bear cubs or pigs as
they roll by on the sea-legs their
cruises have given them. And in the
background the happy grins OF a hap
py crew greet every amusing gambol
of their ships mascots.
The St. Joseph observer., 1920-02-21

There are nearly seven hundred
fighting ships in the U. S. Navy and
every one of them has at least one mas
cot; most Of them have several This
floating menaserie of several thou
sand is a paradise for dumb animals,
for a mascot on an American naval
vessel is treated with the greatest
kindness and the best Of care.
The ship without a mascot is not
a happy one until some bluejacket
leads a whiskered goat, curly tailed
porker, a mischievous monkey or a
frolicsome pup up the gangway. The
more unusual the mascot the better
the men like it. And so they range
from roosters to bears. There are at
present, with the Atlantic and Pacific
Fleets, as great a variety of animals
as one could find in the best stocked
Zoos.
Besides several roosters and bears
there are goats, in squads. Pigs,
monkeys, cats. parrots, raccoon, and
in one instance a wild boar, are all
received with open arms and brag-
ged about to the other ships crews
with considerable exaggeration. One
ship had at one time, small donkey
and the marines aboard tried to keep
a camel from getting home-sick.
Their size was against them. however
and they had to be put ashore with a
Navy Yard detachment.
By far the most popular animals
on ship-board are the dogs. Their
intelligence and fsithfulness make
them beloved beyond the hopes OF
any OF their comrade-mascots. The
dogs generally learn their tricks
quicker and are more willing to show
off to the visitors. They also over
look the faults of human beings and
remain true to their masters through
thick and thin.
