WHERE REAL THRIFT is
PRACTIcED.

Suppose you American school girls
and boys who are forming thrift clubs
and studying thrift as a part of your
school work had to treasure your pen
MES until the spending OF them be-
came a real art. That is what is being
done by the children of Europe. More
than that, there are many children in
schools in institutions in Europe which
are being aided by the Junior Ameri-
can Red Cross who have never had so
much as penny to spend in all their
lives. One of these schools where
amazing frugality prevails is located
in vicenza, Italy.
In this school, the Casa Materna
(Mother House,, nothing. absolutely
nothing, is wasted. Shoes are very
expensive, therefore the children go
barefoot The teachers make their
own shoes. All the clothes worn by
the children-and they are immacu-
late always-the boys in blue, the
girls in pink. are made by the child
rem themselves under the guidance of
their teachers. Youngsters, seven and
eight years old, knit socks to be sold.
Later they cut out and make their
own little dresses and there are three
machines, run by the children, for
making knitted sweaters, gloves. and
stockings. etc. for Local manufactur-
ers. Laundry is another expense:
therefore the children wash their own
clothes in the well equipped school
laundry.
For fresh vegetables there is a gar
den in the school where the young
sters grow big tomatoes. string beans.
potatoes and grapes. The boys are
kept busy in the garden. the girls in
the sewing room and they not only
save many lire but learn a trade for all
their lives. The older children help

drying dishes, going to the well for

are ten beehives and the delicious
fresh honey is sold in Vicenza.

thirteen, that they wash them, clothe

them lessons in sewing and gardening

realize how economical and frugal
they are.
Each child has one toy. a skipper

soUTH'S CLEAN UP SQUAD NOW
LEADING.

| Reports to the Southern Divisional
Headquarters of the American Red
Cross on the first month of work Of
the Cleanup Squad indicate that the
south is leading every section of the
country toward the announced pur-
pose Of cutting the red tape that has
prevented veterans of the World War
from receiving the various forms OF
governmental compensation that the
government is anxious to give them.
This campaign, the paramount idea
of which is to bring the government
aid right to the doors of the ex-service
men rather than to have them go out
and seek 1t, was inaugurated in the
Southern Division on August Is. Nat
uralIy, during the first few weeks, the
but now it is moving with the smooth
ness of well oiled piece of machinery,
and those at the head of the campaign
are confident that before It's close ev-
cry deserving veteran will have been
reached and much done to adjus his
affairs with the various government
bureaus.
During the days intervening between
August Is and September 8, in the
states of North Carolina, South Car
DINA, Tennessee. Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, no
less than 8,125 ex-service men were
interviewed and given information on
compensation, insurance, vocational
training, and medical and hospital care.
Two thousand, six hundred and
eighteen of these applied for compensa-
ton; seven death claims were COM
pleted; 1922 old cases were handled;
2,410 men were given physical exami-
nations; SIS were sent to hospitals;
1874 men were aided in obtaining adj
ditional medical evidence in support
of their claims; 53S applications for
vocational training were handled.
An arrangement has been made by
which the work of this squad will have
a lasting benefit even after the squad
has visited city or section and pro-
ceeded on its way. Through the CO.
operation of welfare organizations in
the various centers, an effort is being
made to leave behind a group who can
take care of the men, who did not
have an opportunity to appear before
the squad
In this way it Is expected that the
September figures will far exceed
those of August. Squad members re-
port that they have been able to get
definite action for most Of their cases
within two weeks after the claims
have been submitted.

ADVENTURES. OF
THE TWINS

Nancy took Nick and went around to
Loppy Lobster's side door where they
had seen Loppy staring at them. No
body had answered their ring at the
front door of Loppy's house in the sea
weed grove at the bottom of the ocean
and it made them pretty cross.

Nancy sternly, shaking her finger to

know that it is very impolite to stare
at us SOP Nancy was being very
brave. for the two claws that were
resting in the sand in front of the
lobster, were big enough and sharp
enough to pick up Twin in each of
them and snip them quite in two, like
a pair of scissors. Indeed, Loppys
claws were as big as all the rest Of
him.
But Loppy never moved. He never

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM z. BARTON
HABIT.


| Scientific men have learned many
things concerning the human brain.
and they have much Yet to learn.
| One of the many things which they
have come to know is that the brain
has paths or patterns The things we
do habitually make a kind of track In
the structure of the brain. 1t Is easy
to do a certain thing next time be-
cause we have done it often before.
In certain sense, nothing done ha-
bitually Is well done unless there is no
consciousness of the effort Of doing.
A husband watches his wife sewing
on buttons.
.eWhy is it," he asks, shat when you
sew on buttons. the needle strikes the
hole, while with me it strikes the
button?"
She does not know. She watches to
see why it is. And as soon as she be-
gins to watch, she begins to hit the
button
A great musician was asked why
he continuously practiced. He said:
If l omit my practice for day, I
notice the result. II ] omit It for
week, the critics notice it. If I omit
it for a month, every one notices it"
No man ever becomes so expert that
he can afford to neglect his practice.
If he lets It 60. thoes paths In the
mind are overgrown and when he be-
gins work he has to break his way as
if there had been a fall Of snow.
There are certain things that we
need to do, and for the sake of doing
them well, we need constant practice.
We are doing something with our
muscles when we practice. but we are
treading paths in orr minds.
1t is well for every man to learn
what are the things which he is GER
tain to need to do habitually and skill
himself in the doing Of them. There
is little danger that he win learn TO
do them too wei.
The paths Of habitual action should
be well marked, and should run in
the right direction. When we have
made them and worn them deep. we
shall not find it easy to avoid them.
