Importance of Thrift by the People

TN A letter to the American Banker,
Asecretary of the Treasury Mellon eX-
plains the policy of the government
In the sale of treasury savings certiti-
Gates. The letter answers the appeal
of the Kansas State Bankers associa-
ton requesting that the federal gov
crnment stop the sale of these certifi-
Gates because the practice Is detrl-
mental to the agricultural interests
of that state.
The letter states that the govern
ment has no intention in its savings
campaign OF entering into competition
with existing banking agencies ana
that the interests of the treasury and
of the banks are not ut all In con-
hict in the promotion Of savings among
the people. Secretary Mellon says
that he would welcome greater coop

ernment, but for the other allies, and
that the United States, in making the
original arrangements, had insisted, in
substance, that, though the other al
lies were to use the money borrowed,
1t was only on British security the
United States was prepared to lend 1t.
"1n answer to these inquiries" Mr..
Mellon stated, ait should be said the
obligations of foreign governments in
question had their origin almost en-
tirely in purchases made in the Unit
ed States, and the advances made by
the United States government were
for the purpose of covering payments
for these purchases by the allies.
"The statement that the United
States government virtually insisted
on guarantee by the British govern
ment of amounts advanced to the other
allies is evidently based on misap-
prehensioIi. Instead of insisting on n
guarantee or any transaction of that
nature, the United States government
took the position that 1t would make
advances to each government to cover
the purchases made by that govern
ment and would not require any gov
ernment to give obligations for ad-
vances made to cover the purchase of
any other government. Thus, the ad-
vances to the British government, evil
denced by its obligations, were made
to cover its own purchases"

Secretary Mellon adds that far from
being injured by this system, banking
and savings institutions will reau per-
haps the most tangible rewards, for
no man can save and invest for long
without opening a personal bank ac-

why many banks throughout the coun.

Dorothy Phillips Becomes Screens
Greatest Actress

The superb acting of Dorothy Phil
lips in Man Woman Marriage"
Allen Holubar's famous Associated
First National production, now play
ing at the Johnson Opera House has
placed Miss Phillips so far in the
forefront of the worlds best cinema
stars that there is little doubt that
fandOm will accord her tribute as the
screens greatest dramatic actress.
Until the advent of Miss Phillips
in Independent productions movie
fans have been prone to classify
the screen stars for some particular
type Of acting. One has excelled
in emotion, another in comedy and
others along various histrionic lines,
but the sublime work of dainty Dor
othy Phillips in a picture Astounding
with dramatic situations of all classi-
fications has placed her in a class
which embraces all the finer points
accorded to her screen sisters.
Those who have watched the artis-
tic growth of this star have realized
that it was always in the stories of
Allen Holubar and under his direction
that She has eXcelled. In 1.-The Heart
of Humanity" Miss Phillips first con-
WINGED the movie-going public that
she was on the road to superlative
stardom. In 'The Right to Happi-
ness" she took advantage of each
situation to display her great ability
as an actress, but 1t was not until
she was furnished with a vehicle of
still greater possibilities that she
reached the peak of screen art.-Adv.
