Keep The Money At Home.

Several financial newspapers and
magazines have been warning the
American investing public against
being lured into buying German Sc
curities, with which this country is
now being flooded.
There never was a time when it
was necessary for an American to
seek investment elsewhere. There
are plenty Of opportunities in this
country and they are worthy Of sup
port because money invested in
American securities will build up
American enterprises.
Many investors are persuaded to
place their money in foreign secur-
tiles with the promise of large re-
turns. But there is danger for the
United States if Americans in any
considerable number invest their
money in stocks and bonds of Ger
many or any other foreign nation.
If the investments should prove
improbable, there is a chance that
international bankers and influential
investors might seek to compel our
country to enforce their payment.
If they proved profitable, -drope
would be even more Infatuated at the
United States and would set up the
cry that she was being robbed. A

CAUSE OF FOREST ElREs

There have always been forest tires
even before the white man or the
Indians caused them. In digging 100
or more feet underground In the min
Ing sections of Canada remains of
forest fires were discovered dating
back many thousands of years. What
then caused these firesf Many fires
now laid to campers and Indians were
not caused by them. Good authorities
now ascribe the origin of many forest
fires to static electricity caused by
TIE friction of the units Of the foliage
Of evergreen trees (needles) against
one another. The peculiar noise called
"soughing" made by evergreen trees
when the wind moves them is partly
caused by this friction. This static
electricity either sparks" setting
fire to the dry foliage, or the electric
or FRACTIONAL" heat starts the fire.
The Indians understood this phenOm-
en0n long before the white man knew
OF 1t. Another cause Of forest fires
known TO the Indian long before the
white man is the burning glass or
reflector, having the same properties
as the burning glass of civilization,
formed by the exudlng sap of trees
like the pine, hemlock, cedar, etc. If
q branch was blown off by a wind
storm and the sap gathered at the
fracture the sun would strike 1t di-
rectly some time of the day and Gre
ate a natural fire produced by its re-
flected rays, like burning glass. The
Indians added to this cause by tap
ping the tar" trees for their canoes.
/ have seen the sun play on these
bleeding tree scars with such brill
lance that 1t was unsafe for the
vision to look at them. Talking Of
forest fires, 1t is a peculiar and UNI
expected phenomenon that when a
soft wood forest is devastated, hard
wood forest replaces it in time.

Until a few years ago probably few
people aside from the makers of die
tlonaries had ever seen or heard the
word "sib." Yet In the rural districts
Of England il used to be good enough
word, little rough and uncouth, like
other short and ugly terms. but with
a clear and definite meaning that no
other single word had. 1t means a
brother or q sister, or sometimes any
collateral relatives of the same stock.
Yet the expression never got into good
society until the science of eugenics
came along The eugenists took to 1t
right away, for it filled for them
long-feIt want, and In papers on eu-
genics it Is frequently met, meaning
brother or sister. Science has given
1t a good character, and new die
tIonary writer's will have to take 1t
from the tag which labels 1t as I'M
couth and out of date.

II is a historical fact that Fred
erick Of Prussia formed the idea of
compelling unions between the tall
est of the two sexes In his dominions,
in the nope of having an army of
giants. Once 1t so happened that, dur
ing a rather long ride, the king passed
a particularly tall young woman, an
utter stranger lie alighted from his
horse, and insisted upon her deliver
Ing letter to the commanding officer
Of his crack regiment. The letter con-
tained the mandate that the bearer
was TO be Instantly married to the
tallest unmarried man In the service.
The young woman was somewhat ter
riiied, and, not understanding the
transaction, gave an old woman the
letter, which was conveyed TO the
commanding officer. and this old wom-
an was, in a short time, married to
the tallest and handsomest man in the
regiment, 1t is not necessary to say
that the marriage was an unhappy
particularly so to the old woman.

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

At various times efforts have been
made under one circumstance or
another to develop practices of
thrift by compulsion.
But compulsory thrift has never
been successful. This is a point to
be borne in mind by those who,
though actuated by the most splendid
motives, may be endeavoring to
compel habits of economy among
those under their guidance.
Thrift is fundamentally a matter
of mental attitude.
The saving Of money, the elimina-
ton of idleness, the development of
efficiency are all matters which
primarily must depend for their
success on the state of mind of the
individual. Before a man practices
thrift he must have an understand
ing Of all that it involves. He must
have an appreciation Of its benefits
as compared with the sacrifices it
sometimes involves. He must be
aware of all that it means in the
development Of his career. He must
have a correct perspective of present
economies as related to future
benefits. He must know thrift. He
must desire thrift. He must be
thoroughly sold on the whole plan of
thrift practice.
Until such condition has been
reached every effort to compel him
to follow these practices will only
arouse his antagonism.
1t is true, of course, that an en-
ployer can compel those who work
under him to save certain portion
of their earnings. In some isolated
cases individuals may, through this
method, be started on the right road.
But, broadly speaking, such practices
win arouse so much discontentment,
! resentment and prejudice upon the
part Of employees that infinitely
more harm than good will be done.
Moreover, the chief benefit of thrift,
namely, the development of personal
discipline, will have been lost
Teach thrift Preach thrift.
Encourage thrift. Inspire thrift.
But do not try to compel it.
