THRIFT IN YOUTH


 'Manhoods deeds are mostly childhood's dreams and ambitions grown up," declared S. W. Straus. president of the American Society for Thrift. recently. What the speaker had in mind was the suh- stantial influences of early educa- tional influences of early education
 The course of life with most of us probably runs more nearly in accord with the teachings and influences of our adolescent periods than we real ize.
 Following childhood's dreams come. with quick and eager steps, the am bitions of early maturity and these in turn shape themselves into def mite accomplishments. In matters of thrift. to which MT. Straus had particular reference. the influences of childhood training are particularly potent. The child that Is taught thrift is not likely to grow up in habits of improvidencc. The youthful mind may not grasp all the economic values that spring from thrift practices. but the funda- mentals can be implanted at any rate. Thrift often brings reward in the form of wealth. power and hign success Some of the most interest ing characters in the worlds history built the structure of their greatness on the foundation of thrift

U. s. PAYS 0FF ITS
 DEBT ID BRITAIN
Over 32 Millions for Troop Transportation During
 the War
Nv Associated Press

Washington, July Is. - Despite Great Britain's debt of s4,5oo,000,0 900 to this. country, payment of s32,62S,S5S has been made by the American government to the British ministery of shipping in settlement of claim against the war department, treasury officials said today, The payment was made, officials added, pursuant to, an opinion by Attorney General Daugherty.
 The British claim was for trans portation services arising out of the war with Germany and the payment, it was explained, constitutes a final settlement between the war depart ment and the British ministery of shipping of all claims of either party against the other for transportation services.
 Secretary Mellon asked Mir. Daugh- erty for a ruling as to whether tn, act of March 8, 1875, which requires the secretary to withhold payment of any judgment against the United States where the claimant is in- debted to to this country in any man. ner. applied to such claim.
 Mir Daugherty held the act did not apply as it was not the practice of sovereign natiops to prosecute their claims against one another in the courts and obtain judgment. bu: adjust such matters through diplo- matic channels.
 If it should be construed to apply to case such as 1t is now pre- sented," the Attorney General said then whenever a claim is allowed by the United States in favor of a foreign nation it will be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury in making payment to withhold the amount o1 any claim which the United States may have against such nation. As is well known. this government ex- ercises broad discretion in deter, mining what claims it will present against other nations and that the operations of the statute in such mat ters would seriously interfere with the government in the conduct of foreign relations"
 In connection with the claim MT Mellon also inquired s12.l75,7ll should be withheld, pending adjust mcnt of claim of the shippip, board against the ministry of ship ping for shipments of oil. The At torney General suggested that sucl step might be suggested to Gres.' Britian through the usual diplomatic channels but the treasury decided officials said. that the amount of tn, shipping boards bill was vet to b, adjusted finally and that the British transportation claim therefore should be paid In full

New York, July 16.-(Special.)- Blamey Stevens Is perhaps more widely known as writer upon min ing and associated subjects than he is as practical mine operator. His work appears iQ several text books stitutes of technology He is re- garded as high authority upon these subjects. But the operators of the great silver mines of the world es- teem MT. Stevens as one of the most successful of mine operators. He has been for 10 years the consulting en- gineer of the very rich Rincon silver mine in the state of Mexico, south west of Mexico City. He was in this important post while several revolu- tions were in progress. He became familiar not only with the economic possibilities of Mexico, but also with the political situation. He is there fore qualified to speak as one of nigh authority upon conditions in Mexico.
 MT. Stevens came to New York re- gently, expecting to make a short so- journ here then to return to Mexico. In conversation with him this morn ing he said that it is the belief of all who are familiar with affairs in the Mexican republic that the present government will be able to maintain internal peace. In fact, for the first time since the administration of 2or- firio Diaz, there is so little for the army to do that it can now be :n- stantly concentrated so as to sup press any outbreak.
 MT. Stevens says that President AL varo Obregon unquestionably 'nher- it's sthe strong hand and the sincere purpose of Diaz. It, however, re- mains to be shown by him that he also possesses the tact and foresight which were characteristic of Diaz. In the development of the resources which are rich almost beyond the power of imagination to picture, Mexico will try to overcome the fact that by reason of revolutions the re- public is 10 years behind the rest of the world. In these 10 years, the United States have exploited the American mines and there now re- developed, or old ones to be rehab;li- tated
 Not So With Mexico
 In these 10 years, Mexico has rest ed not carrying on to any great eX- tent the development of her very rich silver mines Today, if perma nent internal peace can be assured, and the probabilities are that. it will be it is the eXpecta tion that Mexico will soon begin a new and greater period of mineral exploitation than lany other since the Spaniards worked the silver mines. Mexico owes it's mining reputation to silver. It was silver which excited the Spanish con iquerors and led to the rapid occupa- tion of the country. Mexico has good reason to hope

 If it is decided to refit the 5i,000 ton steamer and put her on the seas q gain as first-class passenger liner the cost probably would be St2,000.- GOO, experts told MT. Lasker. She would be converted into an oil burn CT and made ready for service by February, 1923. The cost of build ing and fitting a ship of the same size today would cost in the neigh borhood of s30000.000, it was esti- mated
 Mir. Lasker. who was accompanied on his trip of inspection by mum Der of shipping board and steamship officials said the steamer was m good condition and moored in deep water. The machinery was in per feet order, and if necessary she could put to sea in 24 hours.
 Cost Half Million Annually
 Mir Lasker said the expenses or more than a half million dollars year for crew of 100 and upkeep was necessary to keep the liner In good condition It costs $lOOOo9 annually for 57 fire guards to patrol the steamer every hour of the day and night; 60 draughtsmen are em- ployed making plans for refittlng III order that time may be saved IT It Is decided to recondition the steamer
 r. A S. Franklin, president of the International Merchant Marine, who was a member of the inspection party. said his corporation had an agreement with the shipping board to operate the Leviathan for rive years if the government decided upon reconditioning her.
 Asked if this meant the steamer would fly the British flag. MT Franklin said: Tt most emphatically does not. It means she will be under the American flag and the nucleus or a fast American mais~ervice"
  to the vessel, ~lid: While we have not vet settled with Germany for her I believe that is matter easily overcome"
 Discussing the shipping situation, MT. Lasker said:
 "When we new men of the ship ping board came in we eXperencea what is the greatest commerclai wreck of all times.
 "The shipping boards has assets which we find to be mostly liaoih- ties. The chief among these are wooden ships costing the government s240,O00, 900 of the taxpayers money which have either to be sold, sal yagcd or sunk before October l. ol this year. If the worst comes to the worst, they will make ideal airpiahe targets.
