A Little Talk On
Thrift
BY s. w. Straus, President Amer
lean Society for Thrift

At the present time il Is particularly
vital that careful thought be given to
the problem OF correct spending as
well as correct saving.
The statement recently was made
by government official that $1,000
100000 OF the country's cash is being
hidden away in various places or is
being carried around. in pockets
While it is necessary in nation OF
i00,000,000 people 10 use great
amount of loose cash and currency.
it is likely that considerable portion
OF the $4,000, 100000 referred to is
concealed in obscure hooks and cor
ners. and thus kept ont of circula-
ton.
The hiding of money under carpets
and mattresses and in other places
where it is supposed To hc safe from
burglars and thieves. does not consti
tute constructive thrift. which means
not only saving money bu; putting il
10 some good use.
When funds are saved and deposited
with bank or are invested prudently
we are practicing constructive thrift
and our savings are helping keep the
general business of the country GO
ing, but when our savings are hidden
away they represen; just so much id,o
capital
In studying thrift we should con
slider, therefore, not only the function
OF saving money but the equally i'm
portant one OF spending it,
If all the money that the people OF
MS country earned from day TO day
were kept out of circulation the
wheels of industry would stop i'm.
ncdiately and business would so tc
smash All progress would cease and
we would find ourselves in the mids
# economical chaos.
Money must be kept in circulation
and the thrifty mans expenditures OF
savings go through channels that are
Of constructive value both to himself
and 10 society
II is for these reasons that thrift;

FEEDING THE STARVING

The big job OF helping the
famine victims in Russia is being
ably handled. The statement OF
Walter l.. Brown, director OF the
American relief administration il
Russia. shows that half million
people are now being fed and b.
January the number will be i
100000. 1t IS costing only 50
cents a month for each child.
How Sustcnance can be pro
Nided for 50 long a period At i
price which would scarcely pur-
chase single meal in many an
American restaurant IS puzzle
which ii would be interesting Il
have explained. The cheapness
of it makes it all the more impera-
tive that the relief work shall e
ON until the necessity ceases. The
famine is pictured by Mr.. Brown
as SO acute that the peasants can
hardly be entrusted with grain
for seed purposes. lest they yield
TO the temptation to eat It instead
OF planting it.
1t is incredible 10 believe that
the American people will stand
bv and let little children starve
when so cents month will pro-
vide food for them.
