4 PENNY EARNED

"a penny saved Is penny earned" IS a time
worn maxim. but st has taken new significance IN
the hight Of what accomplish when zealously
adhered 10. Within the rasr few days the people
OF this nation have collected from banks the sum
OF $4,000. geo. every cent Of which was earned
through penny savings Right here in South Bend
and ALsEawaks half million dollars have been paid
10 those VINO have developed the habit OF thrift in
saving small sums.
The S1s0.OOO.O0O turned back By 5000 banks Of
the nation last TO 100000 deposltors. repre-
seuts the savings OF these 100000 people for
definite purpose-to have money TO spend for
Christmas.
Only a few years aSo Back in 1910, the proposal
that people could be taught methods OF thrift
through systematic small savings under such plan
as has become known the Christmas club plan
met with opposition from bankers. The originator
Of the plan. however. was convinced of the sound
ness OF his judgment; and tho development OF the
plan has most ooncIusivoly proved his theory.
Pennsylvania with s22.OOO.oOo saved in 1922.
leads the nation Indlanas Christmas club savings
amounted 10 slightly in excess OF $4,000 With
less than four per cent OF ths population of the
entire state South Bends and Mlshawakas saving
or 10 per cent Of the states total IS another elo
Quent tribute to St. joseph county's prosperity.
There IS perhaps institution OF this country
which has been as effective in teaching the people
savers alike Will that a very large proportion
OF the total amount saved would otherwise have
been spent. The savings have been small but sys-
temac. and therein lies the great value Of the plan.
The $3.50 900 savings OF 1922 is just certainly
addition to the earnings Of those 100000 people
who saved a few cents week for year If it
$3.50. 900 contained IN pay envelopes It IS
just S19O,0OO.O00 which So 100000 people have
today that they would otherwise have spent, and
would realized that small savings could
amount TO such a colossal sum.
The Christmas savings plan was primarily in
tended as means OF saving money to meet the
demands of the holiday season. 1t has now devel-
oped into a medium OF saving TO meet other de-
mands well. such. for instance, interest pay
ments on mortgages insurance taxes and other
fixed charges that have TO DO taken of in
lump The plan has proved TO be workable
and has taught many shiftess people the value OF
systematic saving and hundreds OF Christmas
ings checks are used whole in part for per-

Cen Dawes may usually be commended as one
OF few realists in politics, but and then he
gets up in the clouds. At the luncheon Of the Chi
cago Association Of Commerce the other day he
proposed a resolution to the effect that Gov. Len
Small by hardening the convicted Communists. had
"besmirched the fair name of Illinois and OF the
United States" The resolution was carried by ac-
clamation but some OF the associated commercials
thought 1t too weak. There were cries OF I'm
peach him!'
The general couldn't see that this was
practical suggestion. "A move to .mpeach the
governor would be no good" he said He Is too
strong politically" Quite He seems TO have
majority. SO why talk about his besnirching
loyal followers who seem to enjoy the process? We
all sympathize with Gen Dawes desire to make
white patch the besmirched escutcheon of iii
uois, but apparently good many OF his fellow
citizens would hurry forward 10 paint over the

would citizens of Chicago. where William Hale
Thompson does job OF besmirching every day

As matter OF fact, besmirchins IS one of the
risks OF democracy. An ink spot a white wall
stands out that everybody it; but an ink
spot a black wall passes unpoticed. And IN a
democracy the majority occasionally decides TO
paint the wall black for the next four years Then
1t is necessary to wait till the election and try

Walter Johnson
 ''Shutout Kil1g''

Washington, June 20-Baseball sta 1cians digging into the records of Walter Johnson, who by blanking the Chicago White SoX. Sunday, 1 to 0, registered his seventh victory this season against three defeats, have found that not only has the ''big train" of the Washington staff enter ed the ultar select class of pitchers with a life time average of 500 or better but he mas cltnched his title to the champion shut out king of the majors. Sundays blank drawn by the White Sox was the 95th Johnson has handed out in his big league ca reer
 Johnson's total number of 327 vic tories against PIT defeats for an av craze of 601 is considered a tribute to his process as he has been backed by clubs of only mediocre ability in most of the 16 seasons he has worn Washington uniform. There is only one pitcher now in harness who Is consid to have a ghost of d chance to top Johnson in shutout fame and that is Grover AleXander CT of the Chicago Nationals. As Alex ander had but eighty goose egg vic tories to his credit at the start of the present season the chance of his overhauling the Washington twirler is exceedingly slim.

Matty CoakIey and Lewis; catcher, Doc Powers; infieId, SisIer, Collins, Barry and Gardner; outfieid, Statz, SockaIexis and Hoey. The thing to do is to name a team likewise recruited to beat the one the Doc names. Here 1t is: Pitchers, ReuIbach (Notre Dame), White (Georgetown, Coombs (CoIby); catcher, Henry (Am- herst) infield, Penney (Brown), Frisch (E'Ordham), O'Rourl>e Nale), DeVlin (Georgetown) outfleld, Thomas (Penn), Falk (Texas), FultZ (Brown).
