THRIFT THOUGHTS

There is no mystery about getting rich.
 Anybody can have money.
 Millionaires who began their fortunes with few cents say that the whole secret is this You want money hard enough to work for 1t, but do you want money hard enough to hold on to 1t A millionaire invited a young man em- plovee to lunch He led the young man to a pNin lunch-place and ordered two plates of bread and cheese. When the bread and cheese came, on the young mans plate was a silver dollar. The millionaire said: Il am going to make your fortune during this lunch hour, if you will let me. Now the kind ot lunch you expected to eat with me would have cost one dollar or more for each of us. A man gets as much strength and pep out of I5 cents worth of bread and cheese, or fruit in season, as out ot hVe dollars worth of fancy things. You can make better use of a dollar than eating 1t. Come with me to the bank; start an account, and begin your fortune with that dollar 1 know advice is cheap. But here is the secret of my getting rich; 1 never spent dollar when l could make a dime do!'
 One of Americas richest women al ways did the marketing for her house. hold. Because" said she, II then get exactly what l require, satisfactory in quality, quantity and price. If every wife did that, there would be more happy homes, less talk of the high cost of lW ing and more contentment among tradesmen" Housekeepers who do their buying in person, not over the telephone, supply their tables with better food, in greater variety, and at smaller cost.
 A rich man asked a nelghbOr, whose income was no larger than a present. day carpenters income, How much spending money do you give your boy each week?" The neighbor replied that he gave his boy one dollar week. How much does he keep of that dollar?' asked the rich man. "None," replied the neighbor. The rich man said, Il give my six-year-old boy only fifteen cents a week, and I make him save five of it. y This rich man knows that as soon as a boy is old enough to understand spend ing money for triaes, he is old enough to be taught to take care of the money he receives.
 Tonight-throw away your old ideas of what you must have. Make new plan of what things are absolutely neces- sary.
 If necessities were all you have been paying for in the past, you would have good pile of money in the bank now.
 You have a job! Now get bank book!
 When a man or boy has these two things, he has all the good luck he can ask of the world.
 Your job will fill your bank-book

IN WAISTCOATS AND VESTS
Decorations Add Economical and Dainty Bit of summery costumery
 to Frocks.

The woman who is really looking about for an economical and dainty bit of summer cOStumery can do no better than to make full use of the waistcoats and vests with which the shops abound. They are, in the first place, extremely practicable, for they can be easily laundered and. there fore, a frock or suit of which they are a part can be kept clean and fresh at a minimum of laundry work. One can wear a washable slip bodice under a dark silk frock, and then a vest or waistcoat of easily laundered fabric, and so be really fresh in feeling and dainty in appearance.
 So, too, with the street suit, the waistcOat saves the shirtwaist or blouse. It Is far more easily laun- dered, consisting only of frOnt-and the worst part of a blouse to launder, as everyone will admit who has had any experience, Is the sleeves. These, of course, are lacking. Yet the waist coat, worn with little silk slip under a dark suit, makes just as good an ap- pearance and Is just as clean and gives the wearer just as fastidiOus a feeling. And the silk slip, although it Is made with short sleeves, can be very quickly irOned. Indeed, as far as cleanliness and daintiness are concerned, 1t can be worn rOugh-dried. Thin white china silk Is the best fabric for this slip. It might be made of cotton crepe. but cotton crepe Is hotter than a thin silk fabric. Crepe de chine in thin, cheap, white quality might be found cool, and this could be worn without ironing.
 The new waistcOats are so numer- ous that 1t Is difficult to pick out any individual ones to talk about. They are all attractive. So you can choose those that are most becoming or most suitable and those that are, as well, easily laundered.

 toHit I High Rents
Trades Unionists Call Meeting to
 Get After Landlords.

New Orleans, Aug. 19.-A mass meet ing called by trade unionists resulted III the formation of a tenants rights asso- ciation. The call for the meeting stated that it is necessary to protest against the forces of oppression and "do,nothng- is1n' which now prevails and winch seeks to continue the conditions and make no change" so that "25O,OOO ot our men, women and children may be flayed to the bone next year in an unhin- dered orgy of rent greed, with whole sale evictions on a scale never before seen in the south"
 The state legislature meets the first week in September and the law makers will be urged to take action against pres ent conditions Wages have been re- duced in the building industry because ot a propaganda that these rates made build ing construction impossible. The wages were cut, but the expected construction has not developed. Those who insisted on wage reductions are maintaining high prices for building material.

Cannot Tax Co-Op.
 Profits in England

London. England, Aug. l9.-British workers have won a victory over the governments proposal to treat co-opera- tive soeties as corporations and make their surplus subject to the corporations profits tax. The government held that profits are profits, whether found in the treasury of cooperative societies or pri- vate companies organized for private profits. The workers held that profits of the cooperative societies are not profits in the ordinary sense-that profits of the private trader are made out of the consumers for the benefit of themselves, while the profits of the co-operatives are the savings of the consumers made by trading with themselves. The house of commons accepted the workers view point.
 The government claimed that the profits of the co-ops, amount to 8OOOO,- GOO pounds a year and the proposed tax would take but l5O00O pounds. The replied that 15OO0O pounds was l5O,OOO pounds too much.

FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST

Peach is a popular shade for organ dies and lingerie.
 The sash tying in huge bow on the hip is still a favorite.
 Rickrack braid edges some of the smart gingham morning frocks.
 Jumper dresses of wool jerseys are designed to wear over shirtwaists.
 The afternoon dress may be of se- were style, or with a draped skirt and fitted bodice.
 The straight line Is strictly ob- served in the advance fall coat dress models now being shown.
 White embroidery is much used on black, both in the French frOcks and in those designed in this country.
 However much your new gown Is draped, there is way of showing the slim uncOrseted line-and it is smart.
 A rival of the colored linen hand kerchief is of gingham, pin checked and finished with very narrow ruftie.
 Cut outs of leather form the trim ming for many of the new hats. They are found most often in white or blue hats.
 Long, loose coats of taffeta are to be worn much this summer. Many of them have thin muslin Things usually quite bright in color.
 Deep bead fringe edges the ends of a sash of georgette. The beads hang in feStOOns about 12 inches deep and form a really rich and decorative trimming.
 The newest thing in petal effects is to have each irregular row of petals shade into darker one. The heavi- est tone is always at the bottom of the gown or wrap.
 Vivid cOlOred fabrics are by no means confined to sport garments. Sheer Organdie dresses, made on de- cidedly dressy lines are seen in bright red or bright green, sometimes en- broidered or otherwise trimmed in touches of white.

CONNECTICUT NOW SIXTH IN MAKING
 OF COTTON GOODS
Government Report Shows Big In crease in Mill Industry
 Here.

Conencticut was the sixth state in importance in the manufacture of cot ton goods in 1919, the report Of the federal department of commerce through the census bureau shows. Connecticut that year had fOrty-seVen establishments devoted to the manu- facture of cotton goods, with a value of $IoI, ,55I ,Ooo for the total years products. This report in cluded only textile mills engaged prlmar- ily in the manufacture of women clotA and yarns, plants making cotton small wares or cotton lace being excluded Massachusetts led all other states, with a total of 1o1 establishments and a total product value of $5o6,687, ,0OO. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Rhode Island were next i'll order after Massachusetts, with New Hampshire, Alabama, Pennsylvania and other states trailing some distance after Connecti- cut.
 The report from the census bureau shows that almost three-fourth or 74o per cent. of the total value of products was confined to six states, the products being over $I 50, 900, 900 for each, more than one-half or 538 per cent. to three states; and over ne-fourth, or 28l per cent. to Massachusetts alone.
 In the industry woven goods continue to lead as the principal product of the industry, with 70 per Cent of the total value Within this group the value of sheetings has given way to ducks for first place among the products of the loom In 1914 ducks represented 10 and sheetings 27.2 per cent. of the total value of woven goods. while in 1919 the cores bonding value of all kinds of duck, and in itself was 9.6 per cent. of the total value of woven goods.
 Yarns produced for sale with 21.7 per cent of the total value of products in 1919 was the second item of importance. which together with woven goods repre- sented 9l.7 per cent of the value of all products reported for the industry. The value of the twine produced in 1919 was $5.597 .OOO and of cordage and rope $2,- 2O7,OOO

HUMAN RIGHTS ARE SECONDARY, DOLLAR
 GUARDIANS CREED

Opposition to the Sheppard own CT maternity and infancy bill again shows what little value certain ele- ments in this country place on human life. .l4A annual deaths of 2o,ooo mothers IT child birth and 25Oooo babies less than one year old. The plan is edu- cational with not a single element of Compulsion. Where states accept the act the federal government Wll match every dollar these states ap' proprate for this purpose.
 In arguments against the Dill Op- ponents talk of the constitution states rights, sacredness of the home and the entering wedge for bolshe- vism, but they offer no counter plan to rescue this country from its posi- ton of having the highest maternity and infant mortality of any civilized nation in the world.
 The bill has passed the senate, how ever, and is now being considered Dy the house.
 If congress refused to stop waste of property equal to the annual eco homie loss of 10000 mothers and 25o,- 900 babies, opponents ot the mater nitv bill would tear down the sky,
 No one objects to the government maintaining agents-knoWn as con suls-in every part of the world to inform business men what to offer for sale in these countries, how to pack and ship goods, credit reguia- tions and other trade information.
 But good order and the constitu- ton are threatened if the govern ment imparts information to young women in the most crucial perlod oi their lives. ,,,
 Opponents of the maternity bill are always defending the constitution when human life IS involved, but they would scrap this document in the in terest of trade.
 This mental attitude is not confined to opponents of the maternity bill. It is seen in the cry for "greater produc- tion." which never includes protec- ion of wage earnerS' lives and the1r working conditions. :,
 Ii is in "the back of the heads" ot those who urge wage reductions then cheap production justltles the coolie standard of living.
 Opponents of child-labor are bllnd to everything but low production costs. Though the coming generator be stunted they would rescue the con stitution from those who would put children in school.
 The injunction judge has the same mental attitude-protect1o of prop erty, though the injunction writ as originally intended be outraged and every guarantee in the bill of rights annulled.
 This mental attitude is the "cannon fodder" concept of wage earners Secretly, it is as stoutly maintained today by industrial autocrats as ii was openly advocated in the days o' feudalism and ancient Rome.
 The great work of organized iabol is to change this mental attltuoe This can be done by intelligence ano unity.

Clear EnunciatiOn
 An Asset On Phone

Good grammar is as desirable m our speech as in our business and social cor respondenCe. And clear enumeration en- phasizes the use of good grammar. We may pick our words with the greatest care, but the effect is lost If we run them together, or tumble them in our speech.
 Distinct speech is a desirable asset but can be acquired only by practice.
 How we do admire the distinct speech of actors and actresses and of some pro- fessional platform speakers. Every word they utter IS spoken, not sharply, but clearly and plainly. Their profes- sional success, in large measure, depends upon their ability to make every word easily heard and understood.
 While occupying places far removed from the public platform, telephone operators, as class, are as highly trained in the art of speaking distinctly as the folks of the stage
 Haven't you noticed when a telephone operator speaks to you over the wire that every word she says IS clear and distinct, even if she repeats only the telephone number you have given her. Clearness in speech IS an essential qualification for a place at a telephone switchboard, for without it no girl can become a satisfactory telephone operator
 If distinct talking is so important on one end of the wire it must be equally important on the other It is a fact that more than 90 per cent of "wrong number" calls are due to the slurring and indistinct speech of the telephone user.
 Calling a telephone number distinctly helps to speed up the telephone service Emulate the operator. Try to speak as clearly as she does and note the serv- ice betterment which follows.

A SUMMER WRAP
White and Black Combination for
 Picturesque Cape.
Mandarin Sleeves In Exaggerated Form Take Away From Grace
 ful Outline of Figure.

The recent race meetings at Long champs have been specially brilliant, writes a Paris fashion correspondent. It has been interesting, and not a lit tie extraordinary, to note the prOm1- hence of black and white effects. It Is really true that, amongst the best dressed women, nine in ten wore black. white or the two mixed.
 One picturesque cape especially was greatly admired. The important point was the wide scarf collar turned back with embroidered silk. A splendid ef- feet was obtained by the most simple methods and nothing could be more graceful than the way in which the scarf collar was thrown over one shoulder.
 It Is the day of picturesque wraps These garments are worn on all sorts of occasions, in the afternoon as well as evening. On coats and wraps one finds very wide mandarin" sleeves.
 It must be confessed that the man. darin sleeve In exaggerated form takes away from the graceful outline of the feminine figure this is special ly the case when a skirt of 1880 out line Is adopted.
 When autumn sets in we shall find sleeves of uncommon, often very ec- centric, design fashionable. This will be a pity, but I am afraid 1t Is in-

TO OPPOSE LONG, FULL SKIRT
Women of EnoIand Band Together to
 Protest Introduction of ObJec- tionable Fashion.

In England, observes a fashion writer, quite a nurnber of influential women have banded together to pro- test against the introduction of long full skirts" They say-and with much reasOn-that this fashion has nothing to recommend 1t, that full skirts which reach the ankles make every woman who wears them look years older than Is necessary and also that long skirts are dust-catchers and for that reason unhygienic.
 The fact Is that nearly every woman realizes that she looks smarter and younger in a moderately short skirt which falls in straight lines, I do not mean eXaggeratedly short, indeed, a straight skirt may quite well reach the ankles, especially if it happens to be plaited; but when 1t comes to gath cred or f1ounced dresses, not to speak of those models which are obviously supported by hoops, it Is another af- fair.
 In Paris we talk a great deal about Hong and full skirts" but at all the fashionable race meetings and sum- mer festivities the straight outline still prevails.
 think we shall find that the 1880 outline will be largely exploited on the stage and at certain evening entertain ments but that 1t will not easily re- place the becoming straight-outline for street wear. l am encouraged in this opinion by the determined stand now being taken by the best Paris tailors.
 All the latest models designed in their studios show straight, moderate ly short and wide skirts, and these are very successfully combined with shaped coats which almost reach the knees.
