prosperity. We won't be thrifty until

CANT habits are easily acquired; thrifty
ones come hard. We are, however, be-

Even the promised land overlooking

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT

or going hungry.
Civilization began with anticipa-
ton; looking ahead is the only life
saver. Experience says: anticipate or
suffer. In some animals nature pro-
videS anticipation-b behavior by means
Of q set Of instincts; man must do
ing all day for food, nibbling the
hours away; he must have q larder
and q shelter and go on rations, and
that means being rationalized in be-
havior.
Stage all this on the scale of the
modern manner of living, however, and
the problem of developing a proper
mental habit of thrift and avoiding a
mental habit of waste becomes larger

certain countries were closed for even
a month the inhabitants would suffer,
even starve; let there be no tin and
we go hungry. Our very existence
seems to be hanging by pretty thin
threads, and we are dependent on each
and all the threads to maintain the
cable of our complex living.
Reckless, thoughtless waste It's
everywhere. We're Scrapping and
junking and consuming. getting 10 per
cent or 20 per cent in heat or light or
power, and the rest goes up in smoke
The typical symbol of modern life is
the waste basket the junk pile, the
scrap heap Of discards; because the
world is moving so fast and it's cheaper
to start over again than to &c.
Waste and thrift on a small scale
and on q large one are not quite the
same habits Of mind. For the great
majority personal habits Of thrift and
avoidance of waste are modest remind
ers. We all became thrift-minded dur
ing the war, we all Hooverized: and
now said Hoover is in the White House
There and elsewhere the elect must
take thought for the Nation, making the
directors of affairs mindful Of the perils
of waste. without that vision we shall
all perish. There are many other sides
to waste-wasting time, wasting energies
AS well as wasting resources. Eff
cheney consists in doing well, with a
minimum of waste, what is worth doing
We must learn to think Of waste in
large-scale terms, as trustees Of the
future.

tied around the waist or pulled through
a finger ring provides another bit of
floating drapery to the ensemble.
These large floating handkerchiefs
are, of course, mere ornaments. One
carries another handkerchief of more
practical size in the evening handbag.
This, too, may be of chiffon.
There are new evening handkerchiefS
of medium size showing the combina-
ton of printed chiffon and plain chif-
fon, held together with lace insertion.
These squares suggest to the home
dressmaker clever ways of making use
of leftover bits of dainty printed chif-
fon or georgette.
The woman who likes to take pains
with even the smallest detail of her
ensemble chooses colored linen or chif-
fon handkerchiefs with borders or 9TH
er design to go with the various frocks
in her ensemble. For the woman who
has no time or patience for such at
tention to detail, white handkerchiefs
of the finest linen are usually the best
choice.
Keeping up with little girls fashions
is decidedly important for the mother
whose little girl likes to present smart
appearance to her little friends. This
season skirts are as short as ever and
there must be no glimpse of boomers
or drawers. The very short French
drawers are most convenient and are
almost as universally worn by little
girls here as in France. If you would

may very easily make them for any

beneficiaries of insurance policies can
not have their premiums attached By
debtors of the deceased estate. Some
times women ignorant of this fact are
induced to settle" debts which are
rightly no personal concern of their.
Few women relatively invest Their
money in second mortgages because
they hesitate rightly before investing
their money in way that requires some
knowledge Of realty values.
A few women do, and not all of them
are aware of the fact that bonus is
usually paid for second mortgages.
Most business women put of saving
until later" Yet it is fact that, at
5 per cent, one would have to accumu
late 20 times her present income to
have as much to live on when she re-
tires.
Women who own cars operated by
chauffeurs are not generally acquainted
with the fact that they are liable, not
their chauffeurs, for any damage done
by their cars. The chauffeur is, of
course, criminally liable for accidents
which resulted from his negligence.
With this in mind many women will be
more careful in selecting chauffeurs.

The husband was accustomed to re-

6 o'clock every evening. One night he
failed to show up at the usual hour
and his wife became nervous. At mid
night she sent six kilograms to six diff

band, asking each if her husband was
stopping with him over night. AS dawn
appeared a towing truck drove up with
a sleepy spouse sitting in his auto, fol-
lowing. Almost simultaneously came a
messenger boy with an answer to one
of her kilograms, followed at intervals
by five others. All of them read: Eyes,

An excellent way to use fruit juice
that has been left over is to add it to
roast meats of various kinds. Ham or

this way adds delicious flavor and

ICE AS UTILITY
GETS BACKING

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J., March
29.-The classification Of the manu-.
facture and sale Of ice as a public
utility was favored by H. c. Reber,
of Reading, president Of the Penn
sylvania Ice Producers Association
in addressing the eleventh annual
convention OF the organization.
such a classification would have
its advantages and it's disadVan-
tages." he states. but from my ex.
perience I feel it would be a great
advantage to have our business so
listed.
"As a matter OF fact, there have
been bills presented In several States
with view to putting ice-making
plants under form Of State control
and Immediately every possible mea-
sure was brought to bear to defeat
such a move.
THE placing Of the business a
public utility and governing its
action by some form of commission
is not going to help the ice indus
try or the consumer unless they
want such a commission and work
in harmony.
However, 1t iS clear to me that
a dangerous situation may come to
exist If new promoters are per-
mitted to finance on statements Of
expected earnings which appear to
be far in excess Of present-day
results.
1T would seem that proper in
vestigations of already established
companies and a careful study of
additional facilities in any locality
should have first consideration for
capital seeking investment in the
ice industry"
