 Thrift Week" in Schools
 Thrift Week" is being observed in the schools this week, Benjamin Franklin's motto, Save and Have" having been adopted by the pupils of the Broad street school. On Tues day, banking day. the collection for the bank amounted to nearly s165, a large increase over last week.
 In Grades IA, 5B, and kinder sarten the pupils made 100 per cent, all present bringing bank money and making their rooms honor rooms. Grades 7C, SA. and SB were above 90 per cent. All rooms which passed this mark will receive pictures of Ron ioy :, ,I-l |, put up. The percentage is based on the number present and the number depositing, not on the amount Of money deposited.
 The pupils are encouraged to bank any amount of money from one cent upwards, are taught the spirit of thrift instead of spending money for candy, gum, and other trinkets. Principal Orrin L, Judd is endeavor- ing to introduce devices which will help the pupils to maintain the thrift every week and to inculcate the spirit Benjamin Franklin followed all his life and which in later years made him a wealthy man.

 Meeting on Motion Picture
 On Friday evening at 7:5o o'clock | It the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, | here will be meeting of the | promoting committee for the motion picture of the International Eu- charistic congress, which will be shown at the Community theater next Monday and Tuesday. By this date the power of the camera to record historical events is practical ly attested. This production is the example of historical events recorded by film. In it's production there was no exagger- ated striving after effect, no need Of direction of scenes or settings for backgrounds. It is a picture of a contemporaneous event, a series of actual happenings which are more stupendous than the spectacular aims of devised motion pictures.
 History is shown to be greater and more dramatic than fiction. The great stadium at Soldiers field was the scene of many an assembly. and it's portals welcomed long state ly prscessions on their way to the altar which lowered 110 feet above the field. At the opening of the first service Gregorian mass of the Angels was begun by choir Of 6e.000 children dressed in white and massed on the field. Nothing like one of the night sessions has ever been photographed: 700,0 900 men crowded the amphitheater, each
