NEW FEATURES FOR VISION
SIN ~" HOMECOMING
Students Win Give Many Stunts at
the Annual Game Between
Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Returning graduates of
the University Of Wisconsin will be
greeted with numerous changes and
new features on their arrival here
October 26 and 81, the annual
Homecoming celebration. The
Badger football team will meet its
traditional rival, Minnesota, as the
major attraction.
The bonfire and massmeeting Of
other years will be supplemented by
the carnival, a feature being tried
out for the third year with success,
and several attractions at the foot
bali game. Suggestions for holding
the massmeeting in the new stadium
at Camp Randall have been consider
ed
The stadium has been enlarged
until the seating capacity will be
$4,000 for games this year. Ad-
ditional sections have been completed
during the summer to meet the in
creasing demand for tickets. Wis
consin is the only university in the
Middle West to attempt the building
of large bowl entirely without
subscription. The receipts from
the games are being used to meet
this expense, and only as much can
be put into the concrete work in the
summer months as has actually been
taken in at the gate during the pre-
Vious university year.
A huge "W" in the stadium,
formed by certain persons placed in
the crowd viii be another new
feature of the program. Seats
blocked off to accommodate members
of a cheering section will be filled
by students who form the human
Nv" at given signal. Red
blankets win complete the effect Of
the colored letter. The blankets
win be kept under cover until a
signal from the cheerleader is
given. The blankets will then be
spread out by the students and a
perfect "W" will be displayed.
Moving pictures of the stadium at
the time of the game viii be taken
from various points about the bowl
and also from an aeroplane if the
service of an aviator can be secured
for that date

Ninth District Stands High in
Savings Certificates Sales.


A report Of Treasury Savings
Certificate sales received from the
Treasury Department by E. c..
Kibbee of Minneapolis, Savings
Director for the Ninth Federal
Reserve District, shows that the
Ninth District stands high in the
national sales.
THE comparative sales figures
show that during the month of
August people in the Ninth District
invested $504,3G4 in Treasury Saw
ings Certificates" said Mr.. Kibbee,
(which is an average per capita Of
Zoe. This per capita sale was ex-
ceeded by but one district in the
country-the Tenth located at
Kansas City. The total certificates
sold in the Ninth District for the
first eight months of the year
covered by the report amount to
$5,791,O5 an average per capita
investment of Slip.
"Since January 1st, 1928, the
American people have invested APP
proximately $120,000,000 in this
government security.
THE foregoing figures represent
comparatively small purchases, as
the limit any one person may invest
in Treasury Savings Certificates
during a calendar year is $410O, this
being the cost of certificates which
will in five years reach a maturity
value Of $4,000
An increasing number Of people
are investing regularly in the S25
and 500 Certificates, costing $20.50
and $S20O Certificates are on
sale at all money order post offices

DlacouRAog YouNe cRIMINALs

DISCOURAGE YOUNG CRIMINALS
Now comes "A eastern criminOlogist
who says that the reason why the
number Of youthful criminals is in
creasing is that news Of crime Is much
more widely published than it used to
be. He argues that boys are led TO
commit crime by reading about It, anG
especially that It appeals to their love
Of adventure because the newspapers
give much space to the exploits Ot
outlaws, painting them In glowing col
ors and clarifying the Defarious bust
ness of crime He thinks that censor
ship on crime news would put an end
to Juvenile offending. This Is, indeed,
the only remedy he has TO suggest. 1t
would further illuminate the subject
II we might have citations, by date,
column and page, from any newspaper
that customarily pictures crime as any
thing but the sordid, in.rewarded, mis-
directed performance that It Is, or that
"glorifes" those who indulge in 1t, or
otherwise makes It appear that law
breaking pays. The thing, In fact, is
not being done, says the Portland
Oregonian. The tendency Is, indeed,
in the opposite direction. We have
read nothing recently In the columns
Of any newspaper concerning crime
that ought to cause any normal, we'll

A daily waste of 100000 gallons Of
gasoline by evaporation from IT'S m
insulated storage tanks throughout the
country was reported as one Of the
major findings Of an extensive survey
on conservation just completed by en-
gineers Of the United States bureau
of mines. The rate at which these
evaporation losses take place has not
been closely calculated. A $4,000
barrel storage tank holding gasoline
will lose about per cent Of its con-
tents in one year. similar tank hold
ing crude OIL viii lose about s per
cent in one year, and the loss from
the crude oil will be almost entirely
pure gasoline. The loss from IT'S tanks,
including both types, is, therefore, es-
tlmated at 73,705,O0O gallons, an eco
nomic loss, at 20 cents a gallon.
amounting to $14.533,0O0.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

Recently man in New York City
was sent to prison because he had
stolen his firms money. AS the
solemn words which meant his in
generation in Sing Sing were pro
nounced he said to those standing
near, well, it doesn't pay!"
No, it did not pay him when he
was getting along well, saving money
and advancing steadily with his
firm, to begin making investments
that were supposed to yield
abnormal returns. One dollar can
no more be made to do the work of
many with safety and honesty than
one brick can be made to fill the
place of many in a. wall that shall be
safe and sound.
1t did not pay this man when,
after losing his savings in crooked
stock deals, he tried to reeoup his
losses by risking additional funds.
And it did not pay when, to secure
these funds, it was necessary to
to juggle the books of the company
he worked for. Also when he found
that money could be obtained
easily in this way, it did not pay him
to begin leading a life of reckless
extravaganza.
Benjamin Franklin once wrote a
little story of his boyhood day when
he paid too much for his whistle. >"
All those who are lured from
prudent paths by the desire to pile
up unearned riches invariably pay
too much for their whistles. No,
it does not pay.
The path of thrift is a safe one to
travel. 1t may not seem to carry one
into those enchanted places where
money is to be found growing on
bushes" yet it is to be noted that
almost without exception the men in
America who have amassed great
fortunes have laid the foundations
of their wealth in thrift.
Those who are content to acquire
possessions slowly and steadily and
indulge only in such pleasures as
they can afford, will never stand
amidst the wreckage of a ruined life
some day and exclaim in their
despair Well it doesn't payw
