ECONOMY THE WATCHWORD

In acknowledging the truth of Pres.
ident Harding's statement that the
condition of the Treasury is not such
as to warrant the payment of bill
lions of bonus money to the ex-sol-
dlers, our overseas men are indulging
in some bitter reflections on the con-
ditions that caused such stupendous
drains on the taxpayers. They have
no trouble in recalling that while
they were sweating and dying in the
trenches of France, a billion dollars
was being squandered in the United
States on an aircraft program that
had next to no effect on the outcome
OF the war. They know that hundreds
OF millions more were thrown away
IN the construction of a vast fleet of
wooden ships, never of practical value
and now almost worthless. They know
that hundreds of thousands of slack
ers earned war wages at home, while
they endured suffering and death for
dollar day, less family allotments
and insurance premiums. Many return
ed home to find their businesses and
Jobs usurped by those same slackers.
But the veterans are discerning, and
they know that the administration un-
der which all those abuses were made
possible and encouraged is not the
same as that in power in WASHINGTON
today. Those betrayers of public trust
have been turned out bag and baggage
but President Harding and the other
men who have taken their places have
had to shoulder the heritages left by
them. 1t is no fault of the party now
in power that the condition of the
Treasury is at its present low ebb; in |
fact, it is the credit of that party that !
It did not sink to lower depths. While |
President Harding was a Senator, he |
co-operated with the other members
If his party in Congress in cutting
hundreds of millions of dollars from
he estimates of the Democratic ex-
scutive, and in reducing by that
lmount the burden that the taxpayers
lave had to carry.
The overseas veterans would have a
air case of grievance if they were Sc
ected by the President to bear alone
he demands of economy while FEEDER
i expenditures continued at the rate
hey have been going the past few
ears. But every man who has follow
d the course of events knows that
lr. Harding's opposition to the bonus
5 only an expression of his attitude
oward every demand on the Federal
reasury. Economy is the watchword
t Washington land every ratification
f the Government that can contribute {
the success of that slogan is being
allied upon to yield it's quota. ReOr-
of the executive depart
tents, coupled with a scrutiny of ev-
~ item, of Federal expenditure more
borough than ever before known in
lie country's history, is bound to pro- t
ice result that will be highly sat K
factory to the taxpayers, included d
nong whom are the men who seek a
e bonus. 1

HOW CAN 1 SAVE MONEY!

Wise buying means economy.
The way to buy wisely is to read
the advertisements.
because advertised products are
good products.
because merchants tell you of
their bargains through advertise
ments.
because practically every unusual
buy is advertised
because you save time and trou-
BILE by choosing what you want and
where to get it from the advertise
ments instead of hunting all over
town.
How can I save money? By reading
the advertisements.
Not today only. But every day.
You'll save money by keeping up
with every opportunity to get full val
ue in buying-by reading the adver-
tisements regularly!

I'D many roles in the summer cos
tune and they are most obliging and
convenient. Each type of blouse is
made in many ways so that there is
always new story to tell of them

be recorded. There are bits of splen-
dor among them that lend grand air
TO a pretty skirt; there are those that
carry a flavor of daintiness and sum-
merry color with them and bestow these
allurements on tailored suits. and there
are those elegancies in handmade
wash blouses that tone up sport or
street suits with the refinement of
sheer fabrics and hand-wrought
needlework.
Two new aspirants for favor, among
others in the waist shops have been
chosen for illustration here. One is a
kimono blouse of georgette, with short
peplum. IT is q Slip-On model with
kimono sleeves outlined and edged
with button-hole stitches in silk. Love-
