AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUs
President Of American Society for Thrift

A great many people whose in
comes are small excuse themselves
from practieing thrift on the plea
that they cannot save anything, and
maintain a decent standard of
living While it may be true in
some isolated cases that eircum-
stances over which they have no
control make it impossible for them
to get ahead in the world, these in
stances are exceptional and often of
a temporary character.
The old saying that, "where there's
will there's a way" applies with
full force to the practice of saving
money. Those who do not save or
who think they cannot, are to a
great extent, not honest with them
selves. They are unwilling to
make certain sacrifices. Their
minds are biased by false pride. or
egotism Their viewpoint is in
correct. If they would give the
problem sufficient study they would
be able to find ways by which they
could save something even though
the amounts be very small.
And upon ones ability to find
such ways of saving money, depends
ones chances of success in life.
This is phase of the matter that
should be given the deepest con-
sideration.
If you cannot save money out of
your present income, you lack the
quality of success.
Success in life is very much a
matter of will power, and the man
who cannot say Il win save" lacks
the essentials of overcoming those OBJ
stacles which lie in the pathway of
every person.
+ Also it must be borne in mind that
those who are not sufficiently in
terested in their own welfare to lay
by certain portion of their earnings
for the future do not care enough
about real success ever to achieve
any substantial place in the affairs
of men.
The man who used to make New
: Years resolutions has a SON who re-
solves he will hit more high places

A pieture-An automobile filled

mas; a steep grade at the top of

and stalls on crossing; train running
fast to make up lost time snuffs out
the lives Of four persons and fatally
Injuries a fifth.
Another picture-A district school
house packed to the doors; nearly
all the bags of good things have
been passed into anxious little
hands; jolly Santa Claus reaches
for the last one and knocks over a
candle on the Christmas tree: cotton

cedar pops as the blaze devours the
dry branches; frenzied people break
out window panes and the wind fans

cause of thoughtlessness.
This is not fiction bur fact. The
man who drove the automobile knew
the train crossed the highway at the
top Of the steep grade and he knew
that meteor engines were likely to
halk on cold days.
But he didn't think.
The Santa Claus who played with
death in the little district school
knew the danger Of fire was great
and that lighted candles on dry
Christmas trees decorated with cot

finder that might cause the tragedy

Percentage.

A Chicago scientist says that the
child born of older parents has a
better chance Of attaining distinction
in the world than one born Of young
parents.
He asserts that his Investigations
covering "a period Of almost 80 years
shows many great men were born
when their parents were well along
in years and that most Of the NOR
ons had young fathers and mothers
at birth.
But is it an infallible rule? For
every instance that he has cited, an
other one could probably be found
that would disprove the theory.
While parentage doubtless counts,
there is no hard and fixed rule by
which the future of boys and girls
can be estimated.
There are poor boys whose paren.
tai influence was valueless and who
when they became great, forgot the
struggles, the sorrows and the
problems of the poor.
And there are rich boys who
would be expected to inherit with
their riches kind of contempt foi
the poorA~not bitter, yet sneering OF
at least patronizing. but who be
come great public benefactors..
To carry the contrast further
some preachers sons become drunk
I ards and prodigals and some drum,
kards' sons become preachers.
Thus it goes.
And what does it all prove?
Nothing much perhaps except the
tangle of life and the uncertainty OF
all rules.-Ex.
