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

Out of 100 average white male
adults, nine leave estates which will
produce $50 a month or more at
per cent net, 81 leave estates which
will produce an average of $40 a
month at 6 per cent, net; and Ga
leaves little or nothing.
These figures were obtained as the
result of a survey made by Mr. JOS
eph ]. DEWEY, economist and author
Of 'Devney's Economic Table, /"
among 10000 adults throughout the
United States. Assistance was Civ
en- the compiler by 1000 bankers and
life insurace men. The reports
showed the ages of the deceased,
occupation, net estate and life insur-
ance. More than one year was taken
up in Mr.. Devney's Investigations,
so he states, and the final results of
his intensely interesting studies have
but recently been made public.
Similar Investigations have been
made in this country from time to
time and all have resulted in about
the same general indications Sta
tistics, Of course, have varied at diff
ferent periods and in different parts
of the country, but they have never
varied on the outstanding point that
the closing years of the lives of many
of our citizens has found them more
or less dependent on others for fin
ancial succor.
These facts should serve the pur-
pose OF a timely warning TO the mil
lions of Americans who today are in
the full enjoyment of health and
prosperity.
The rules of life do not vary great
". The Ga adults referred to in
Mr. Devney's report were no less
prosperous than Ga out Of 100 aver
age men today.
This is the thought that no indi-
Vidual can escape.
1t is true that more and more of
our people are appreeiating the value
of thrift; savings are growing in our
banks; our list Of home owners is in
creasing; thrift is rapidly finding its
way into the curricula of our schools.
But the actual conditions show that
all too few of our people are able to
hold onto the wealth they have help
cd to create,
1t becomes a matter for each indi-
vidual to study closely the situation
that confronts him personally.
While you are able to earn and
save. DO so,
Make the resolve that, under no
circumstances whatever, will you ev-
er become one Of the "a out of every
100 who leave little or nothing to
show for a whole hfe's work

Iron County Teachers:
One of the finest Junior Red Cross
Activities internationally, is the an
nual Christmas Box Project. Amer
lean juniors sent 100000 boxes to
destitute children in Europe. Re
plies from Recipients expressing
keenest appreciation have been COM
ing back and are still being received
at this Office and forwarded to the
juniors who filled the boxes.
This year, | am sending to every
school who have enrolled last year.
a box, which is to be filled out with
the suggested articles, and mailed to
this office, not later than the month
of October. We as members Of this
organization ought to do something,
to prove, that we are cooperative and
active in the welfare of its organiza-
ton, and that we know our obhga-
ton as members.
Suggestions for articles to be in
Cluded:
Rag or celluloid doll, hair ribbons,
mittens and stockings, handkerchiefs,
rubber ball, colored pictures and pic
ture books, cake of soap, comb, mar
bles, wash cloth, tooth brush and
powder, set of dominoes, top, small
games and puzzles.
We should guard against use Of
discarded toys or garments, as chill
dren are often times, very sensitive
to gifts which might suggest they are
considered wards of Charity.
Every box is to contain a message
of greeting, with address of the don
or, in order that children receiving
them, may acknowledge receipt. Send
to the Office not later than October
20. 1928.
Yours for cooperation,

WALL STREET
IS SURPRISED

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Wall Street
today was trying to figure out the
method used by Lieut.. Osborn C.
Wood, the latest Napoleon" of the
financial district. to make $500 900 in
a little over n years speculation in
stocks Woods coup caused all the
more omazement. since he conducted
all his operations by cable from
Manila, where he is stationed as aide
to his father. Leonard Wood. gov
ernor.general of the Philippine
islands.
r. l.. Barnum, financial expert,
said today that Wood would have
had to use a margin of at least
Sl,00O,000 to handle the deals he Is
credited with having swung. His
cable tolls on orders and on tips
from the Street would aiso have
amounted TO huge sums. How he
managed TO finance his speculation
without capital is puzzling traders IN
the street, So far as known Wood
had no financial backing and no pri-
vatc fortune TO start with and his
army pay would have been made
quate for operations ON such scale.
