A Little Talk on Thrift
BY S. w. STRAUS, President of the American Society
- for Thrift

ency where there is deliberate waste
The point Is worth a permanent
place in our rules of personal con-
duct that when we waste fve-cent
piece we are throwing away the
earning power of a dollar for prac-
tically one whole year. And let us
keep lust as steadfastly In mind the
fact that when we save a nickel we
are conserving the earning power Of
a dollar for almost. II not quite, an
entire twelve months.
Suppose we keep a record OF the
amount we actually waste during
the next thirty days and we dis
cover that this sum is six dollars.
We then have dissipated the normal
earnings of one hundred dollars for
one yearl
The story Is told OF a boy who
begged his father for certain toy
costing 5000. to which the father re-
piled: "Son. which would you rath-
er have. this plaything, or one dol
lar a month for llfe?" CAnd the boy
wisely chose the latter. What the
father had in mind was that the
5000 could be invested to yield s12
a year plus a lesson in thrift worth
many, many times that amount.
When we are tempted to waste
even the smallest amounts le. us re-
member these points and proh. by
them.

Another interesting point about
these hospitals is that they are not
crowded in cities or between build
ings so that the patients are shut
off from light and air. Every one
of these new buildings Is located in
spacious grounds. from thirty-one
acres in the heart of New York
City to 5000 acres at Dawson

plenty OF ground is furnished
around these hospitals will mean
that those in charge will be able TO

road to recovery.

MEXICO ITS HOME
Domestic Species Of Turkey Had
Origin There.
Thanksgiving Bird, So Well and "a.
vorably Known Today, Never Of
the Wild Species

At this time of the year when the
feasting holidays are here, almost
everyone thinks of turkey, which also
took an important part in the first
Thanksgiving of the Puritans. the
founders of Thanksgiving as we know
II today. Little is known OF the early
history of the domestic turkey. Writer'S
OF the Sixteenth and Seventeenth CEN
turtles seem to have been ignorant
about 1t. and to have regarded 1t as
the guineafowl or plntado OF the am
clients, mistake which was not
cleared up until the middle OF the last
century. says writer In the New
York Sun.
The name It now bears, and which
It received In England where It Is re-
puted to have been introduced In 1D4l,
was given 1t from the superstition that
X came originally from Turkey. An
far back as 1873 we read Of It az
having been the Christmas fare Of the
sturdy British yeomanry. /
Came From Mexican Fowl.
Audubon, one OF the early pioneers
Of American ornithology, supposed our
common barnyard turkey to have orig
mated in the wild bird SO prevalent
In the eastern half Of the United
States. But It has always been mat
ter Of surprise to naturalists that tina
latter did not assimilate. by inter-
breeding and reverslon. more intimate
Iy In color and habits to the domestic
form. No suspicion. until recentiys
appears to have been entertained that
the two birds might belong to differ

Perfect Specimens.

Enited States, while In the parts of
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and
Arizona. thence stretching southwark,
along the eastern slope Of Mexico,
there exists another form, essentially
different, which by way Of distinction,
has been popularity called the Mexican
turkey. 1t is from this species, and
not from the other as has been erro-
neousy supposed, that the domestic
fowl has been derived.
Many Differences Seen.
Between the wild bird of eastern
North America and the Mexican and
typical barnyard fowls there are diff
ferences which must be apparent to
the most superficial observer. The
extremities Of the tail feathers as
well as the feathers everything the
base Of the tail are in the latter
creamy or fulvous white, while IN the
former they are OF decided chestnut.
brown color. Other characteristicsI
exist apparent to the ornithologist.
The difficulty experienced In estab-t
fishing cross between our wild and
tame birds, shows that they are not as
closely related as one would suppose.
Did near kinship exist, interbreed-
ing would more easily be accomplished.
With the Mexican turkey, matters are
otherwise. That a relationship does
exist between the domestic bird and
the latter there can be no question, as
specimens of the naturalized species
are often met with which are nearly
the counterpart of its Mexican pro-
genitor, differing only in the greater
development Of the fatty appendages
of the head and neck, differences
which may be accounted for as the
effects of the influences to which the
birds have been subjected by man.
No Observation-Disclosures instance Of
similar reversions to our once familiar
eastern bird have been known to oc-
cur which would necessarily have been
the case had they been so closely re-
lated as was once maintained.

Calls For an Uprising.

Dublin. Erskine Childers, who
was captured by Free State troops,
was found guilty on charge
Of carrying arms by the recently in
stituted military court.
de Valera threatened heavy repris-
ais If Childers were executed. Chill
ders' trial was ended Saturday after
his counsel had withdrawn from the
case when the court refused to sus-
tain their contention he should be
tried as prisoner Of war.
De Valera in message to the peo-
pie Of Ireland asserts the British gov
eminent has given orders for the ex-
ccution of Childers, and declares such
a crime will make the men and wo-
men of our race hang their heads in
shame"
Ii this order is carried out, he con-
tinues, mot all the blood that will
flow as consequence will expiate our
national guilt. We shall be called a
nation OF slaves and the slaves Of
slaves and we shall not be left with
an answer"
Declaring Childers remained incor-
ruptible when many became corrupt,
he continues: IF 1t Is not the peo-
pies will that faithful and loyal SER
want should be sacrificed to any Of
Churchill's hate, then within an hour
you will rise up and fling from the
positions they have usurped and dis
honored those who would dare so to
blacken forever the fair name of this
