Thrift Is Fun.

Thrift is doubtless all the noble

assert IT to be. but 1t possesses an :
other and neglected merit well worth

Nor are we entering upon a devious
argument based upon the indirect
benefits of saving-the fact, for in

stay within ones income (whether the
income Is $4,000 q year or $50O.OO0 a

Anybody except the poorest can
save with little intelligent self-de-

course This elementary truth should
be clearly understood as the foun.
dation Of the case. More of any
thing. cigars. movies, candy. what
not. does not necessarily mean more
enjoyment.
Now, granted this preliminary fact
that one can hold back and save
without depicting the general joy Of
living, what ia the specific fun Of
thrift? It is exactly that of any
game in which you consistently win.
Obviously. speculation or gambling
with savings cannot enter into such
a program. The thrift must include

These men are thoroughly familiar

Of important information. while Mr..
Fletcher during his stay in Mexico had
exceptional opportunities for going
beneath the surface of passing events
and sppraising the troubles that were
rocking that country.
Mr.. Wilson inherited a Mexican
problem from Mr.. Taft, but has not
solved 1t. AS a solution at this late
day is impossible for him. he will pass
1t along to Mr.. Harding.
What Mr.. Harding will do is ques-
tion. His action, if he takes early
action, is not inferable from anything
he has said since the November elec.
ton.
Necessarily, he is interested in the
Mexican situation; and 1t is to be re.

Sing Sing Reforms,

Sing Sing is to be place of pun

ent. For some time rules in that
place of refuge for the unconventional
have been so lax that many little
fads and fancies have been adopted,
and much latitude has been granted
in the matter Of dressing and receiv-
ing callers and the getting of mail,
and even the arrangement Of per-
sonal menus. Quite O competition
has grown up among some of the
'swell dressers" Of the establishment
for the sartorial honors. Gone were
the days Of the striped suit and the
little round cap. A visitor to Sing
Sing making the rounds Of the cells
might think, save for the bars on the
doors. that he was in q fashionable
hotel, to judge from the rich regalia
Of the guests. A favorite form Of dis.
play lay in the line of diamonds. 1t
has been said that there were more
"sparklers" on exhibition in Sing Sing
than in any other place Of equal habi.

A Government Apartment.

Representative Langley's bill for
the erection in Washington Of a mod
ern hotel and apartment house for
the exclusive use of the Vice Presi-
dent and members Of Congress is a
constructive act looking to the relief
Of a serious congestion at the Ma.
tional Capital. The passage Of this
bill will undoubtedly aid the members
Of Congress who are now troubled in
finding suitable quarters for them.
selves and their families. 1t will add to
the housing room in Washington, and
thereby lessen the strain upon exist.
ing facilities. And, moreover, it will
put the legislators in direct touch with
the problem Of house owning and
house renting and perhaps enable
them to see more clearly the difficult
ties Of property owners in the District.
A government.owned apartment
hotel Of the kind contemplated by Mr..
Langley ought to be financially sue
cessful. 1t would probably be erect
ed as a public building, and it would,
therefore, be tax free. That item,
which the private owner must in
clude in his overhead cost, would be
lacking. 1t would, however, be nec-
essary to run such an establishment
on the basis Of self maintenance. 1t
should earn a sufficient amount over
actual operation cost to pay for re.
pairs and depreciation. Government
buildings are not as a rule SO con-
Quoted. When repairs are needed an
appropriation is made. Unless the
proposed congressional apartment
house were financed on a self-sustain-
ing basis it would be likely to suffer
from lack Of annual allotments for
upkeep.
A joint committee would probably
operate and manage such a congress
sional hotel. It's task would not be
easy. In a sense such hotel would
be cooperative institution. BY
what means would the apartments be
allotted? According to seniority Of
service, or priority Of application?
or course. no partisan lines could pos.
sibly be drawn, for the party control
in Congress changes quite frequently.
Or would there be majority and q
minority wing. with tenants shifting
from side to side according to the po-
litical situation in House or Senate?
This proposal has its value. as it is
q move in the right direction Of sup.
plying more housing Accommodations
here. That is what Washington
chiefly needs today, and If the govern.
ment is willing to proceed with con.
struction at the present high rate Of
costs it should be encouraged to do so
without delay in order to bring relief
