A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. S'TRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

1t should not be overlooked that
as our country develops and as the
people become educated to higher
standards of living, changes also are
taking place in standards of thrift.
For example, the bath-tub was
regarded as a piece of extravaganza
few generations ago. Today the
most humble apartment or home in
America is equipped with this CON
venience.
Our ancestors had few personal
and household conveniences, while
today the cOnveniences that inven-
ton has provided for our pleasure
and efficiency exist everywhere.
The point is that in many respects
it is easier to practice thrift now
than it was in the so-called good old
days"
The average person in America,
because of our great national wealth
and progress. even though practic-
ing the most rigid economy, is sur
rounded by comforts that our grand
parents never dreamed about. In
their time, the practice Of thrift
required great personal privations.
Today the sacrifice in order to save
seldom goes far into the realm of
personal discomforts.
Perhaps one reason for the
remarkable growth of modern thrift
is these changing standards.
Simultaneously, the fact remains
that if present day thrift requires
less of hardship than it did in former
generations there is less excuse for
anyone lacking in thrifty habits.
To be thrifty in most cases today
involves such a small sacrifice of
personal comfort and convenience
the wonders of this great age are so
accessible to all-tha valid reasons
for lack of thrift are indeed hard to
find.

Rainbow and Brook
Trout Don't Mix
Hence the State Fish Hatchery at
Salmo Has Discontinued Pro-
pagation of Rainbow.

The state fish hatchery at Salmo
has discontinued the propagation of
rainbow trout, and now confines its
attention to brook trout, German
brown trout, lake trout, and wall
eyed pike.
Rainbow trout do not mix well
with brook trout which spawn in the
fall, and take over 100 days for the
eggs to hatch. The rainbows spawn
in the spring and the eggs hatch in
80 days. They are so dissimilar in
fact il is found to be much better to
handle them in separate hatcheries.
Both varieties of trout kill each
other, in fact the brook trout feeds
also on IFS own kind, and is so
eanabalistie that the young fish have
to be watched constantly to keep
them from devouring each other.
A few trout if allowed to remain
when they have grown a little larger
than their fellows would soon de
plete the school greatly in numbers.
Rainbows are presumed to be more
gamey and better fighters than
brook trout but, while the developed
rainbows probably drive away brook
trout, the young brook trout are
such insatiate cannibals that other
minnows cannot exist in their com
pany
The German carp, however, has an
ugier reputation than any other
fish Put few Of them in a small
pond or lake and in q short time
there will be nothing left but the
carp Pickerel are voracious fish
and sometimes swallow fish half
their own length bat hatchery ex-
perts believe that brook trout prob
ably begin the work Of extcrmina-
ton earlier than almost any other
fish eNcept German carp.
At the Salmo hatchery are several
Lake Superior sturgeon used simply
as scavengers, One of these weighs

whitefish is left TO the government
which keeps Lake Erie pretty well
stocked, but the Lake Superior
whitefish is disappearing. The state
hatcheries are obliged 10 depend On
the federal hatcheres for spawn.

Paris, June f. (AP)-The public prosecutor, acting at the instance of Finance Minister Caillaux, is investi- sating the alleged fraudulent expor- tation of millions of francs in capital through the questionable handling of national defense bonds.
 The police, armed with search warrants, have already seized papers in the homes of a French fnancier and other persons, including a wealthy woman. The operations are said to have heen the same in all eases, the method being very sim pie.
 A bond, usually of large amount and repayahle in one month, was purchased and turned over 10 the Paris branch of foreign bank. The branch bank shipped it 10 it's home office. in Amsterdam, Geneva or some other continental city, where at the end of the month the bond would he presented for payment.

OFFER BIG PURSES
 FOR MAT MATCHES
Wrestling Game Is Following . Footsteps Of Boxing World

Chicago, June {. (AP) - The wrestling game at last is following in the footsteps of boxing In the mat ter of big purses. In addition, not since the day Frank Gotch came out of the Iowa corn fields to win him self the Heavyweight crown has in. torest in the mat sport been so pro. nounced.
 While boxing matches particular Fly the championship encounters, have been attracting tremendous crowds and purses. wrestling has been more or less Of localized sport. with each succeeding cham pion traveling about the country meeting Contenders virtually night after night in championship" en- agreements,
 This Is changed now. The big promoters have taken hand in the game and the graphing contests arc being advertised on a scale of box ing proportions, with purses at a healthy figure.
 This situation has been brought about to some extent by the contro- .versy over who is heavyweight cham pion, with two men in the field Claiming the honor The calibre of the four contenders in the recent St. Louis and Michigan City matches, .all onc-time holders of the title also enhanced interest.
 Floyd Fitzsimmons, who promoted the Ed LeWis-W Wayne Mum go in his sky blue arena at Michigan City, built for boxing, collected 12,O0O spectators for Inc diamond belt match, not as large crowd as ex- .pcctcd, but still above the usual wrestling turnout. The purse, orig. finally set for s60,000, later was re- Iduced to S30,o0O when Mum suffer- ed defeat at he hands of Stanislaus Ihyszko, but remained an attractive figure for wrestling.
 The Ibyszk -Stetcher bout at St Louis drew 5000 at'the gate and the purse was advertised for s50,00O, but apparently fell short of that fig ure.
 Now comes Paddy Harmon, whose forte has been the promotion of six day bicycle races, with an offer of an $50,000 purse for so between Lewis and Stetcher to definitely set tie the title. After viewing the Michigan City battle Harmon made up his mind that wrestling offered an attractive field for promotion and he iS making every endcavor to sign up the two contenders.

 On the Southington team, Schmidt, an undersized lad, measured up against the New Britain athletes who were almost twice his size in the $50 and the mileSruns and although he did not place, his running was a treat to watch. His stride was half as long as his competitors, but de- spite that, he placed fourth in the $50 and finished the mile running in good form. With boys of his own class, he should be a whirlwind.
