Suppose every adult in the population made fierce resolution to spend. all the hours he spends at the moving pic lures or in the motor car in being in- dustrious suppose he added to his eight hours in the office and shop three or four hours of industry outside office and shop. Suppose in addition every body set his jaw and resolved toyfwaste no boxes, no paper, no tin cans; sup pose that somehow all would use over again that great can of rubbish which now represents every household'ss 'ss daily wastage; suppose niended stockings should be made to last two years in- stead of two months; suppose frocks were worn until they wore thin; sup pose everybody practiced thrift what would happen? We all know what would happen; we all know that whole industries would cave in. We all know that if everybody were to be working hard behind the closed shutters at the time the musicians are striking up the tune the back of the nations business would be broken, the unemployed would be walking the streets. We all know that people who devoted their evenings to joy in job would not go to the moving pictures, would not buy silk frocks and buckled slippers and furs and pewels; we all know that people who used their holidays being indus tst1. tires and sport clothes and, railroad tickets.
