DRIVERS ARE ASKED

Early Christmas Shopping
Move Commended by
Maj. Pratt.

Commencing the shop-early-

effective means of reducing traffic haz-
Christmas shopping that marked for
mer years, Maj Henry G. Pratt. super
intendent of police, mas issued formal
appeal to motorists to exercise utmost
care while driving in the downtown
section.
In a letter to Edward D. Shaw, secre-
tary of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association, Maj. Pratt thanked
that body for its campaign to spread
over a longer period the Christmas
shopping congestion and voiced ap-
proval of the plan.
Mai. Pratt makes the following sug-
gestions to motorists during the Yule-
tide season:
BE Just as careful now, early in
December, as you would be ordinarily
during the peak of the shopping rush
Just preceding Christmas. People are
doing their Christmas buying much
earlier than usual in Washington this
season.
Every motorist should observe all
driving and safety regulations more
carefully during the next three weeks
than at any other season Of the year."
Maj. Pratt further pointed out that
this is the season when greater num-
bers of children than normally are
on the downtown streets. Most of them
are chaperoned by parents or others,
but many youngsters are attracted to
the downtown stores by the spirit of
Christmas and are often without the
protection of their elders Motorists
should exercise extreme caution because
of this situation. Mai. Pratt said

ate only rye, corn meal and oatmeal;
and meatless days, when they ate
only fish and vegetables. Butter and
sugar were saved in every way pos
sible. School children gave up candy.
Corn bread and molasses came back
into style.
One slice of bread wasted seems a
small matter. But if every family
wasted one slice day, it would take
100000 acres of wheat to furnish
flour for these wasted slices. In
other words, 100000 acres of land
would be wasted as truly as if the
ripened grain were burned in the
fields. The price of wheat in 1917
was 1920 a bushel. Then this vast
acreage of wasted wheat would mean
a money loss of several millions of
dollars. But the loss would be even
greater than this. Hundreds of men
and horses had been employed to
prepare the soil, plant the seed, reap
the grain, send it to the mills, take it
to the mills, take it from the mills to
the grocers, and carry it from the
grocers to the housekeeper. Horses,
men, wagons, and railroads cost time
and money.
No country can afford either in
peace or in war to waste the labor of
its skilled workers. Every unneces-
sary article that is made when there
is a scarcity of workers is waste
of good labor. When food is wasted
at the table, part of the time and la
Dor of the person who prepared it is
also wasted.
If people would save on their cloth
es, save on food, and buy only the
necessary things of life they would
finally come to own their home and
perhaps other property.
A very small amount of wealth is
now owned by the public; the rest we
call private property. Undoubtedly
the institution of private property is
one of the most economic character
istics of society of today. Clothing,
weapons, tools and other personal eff
fects of civilized man have always
been privately owned. Today land
may be bought by anyone who can
buy it; but for practically ten centur-
les in the Middle Ages land was not
owned privately.
Saving must be encouraged by So
ciety, not only because people will
work harder if they are allowed to
accumulate property, but because our
vast modern system of production
would be impossible without a large
amount of capital. Thrift is civic
duty even in country Of apparently
unlimited resources. The institution
of private property exists, therefore,
not as national right, but because
of it's usefulness to society. Through
it society promotes the individual
welfare of it's members and the gen.
eral welfare of the whole group.
Some people imagine that spend
thrift is valuable member Of society
because he makes work for number
