SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Billion.
To say "a billion dollars"
Just little while ago
Would cause no wilted collars
In the big financial show.
The figures once seemed funny,
But we change our minds q lot
When they represent the money
That we need and haven't got.
"A billion" we would mention
With a heart in joyous glow.
We would summon a convention
Of kind friends to help it go.
On the road where once we speeded
We must trudge with patient care
When we find a billion needed
And the billion isn't there.

Women's Clubs Advance
Wise Spending Campaign
BY HARDEN COLFAx.

First reports Of progress in the cam
paign of wise spending" conducted by
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, In cooperation with the Depart
ment Of Commerce after a month of
activity show that nearly 5000 wom-
ems groups. numbering more than one
half Of the total enrolment. of 1880
member clubs throughout the country
are now actively participating in the
campaign and that local merchants
are enthusiastically commencing It.
Storekeepers are quoted as saying
that the campaign has already saved
them large sums formerly lost In 're-
turned goods" and has helped In slim
ulating trade.
Reports being received almost daily
from State presidents Of the federation
and communicated to the Department
OF Commerce tell of the adherence of
many additional groups in the fedora
ton. Local merchants in different
parts Of the country, moreover, are
expressing their interest to the dis
trtct ofiices Of the Department Of
Commerce, suggesting that the local
women's clubs, not In the State or
CARNATIONS, be urged TO cooperate.
In fact, the campaign conceived sew
eral months ago by the general fed
GRAFTON and aided by the department
seems to have taken vigorous hold on
the imagination Of the organized wom-
ems groups throughout the country
and TO be firing the imagination Of the
storekeepers. -.
The campaign is being carried on by
the women's groups for the purpose
fyaN v~yAAh
more practical knowledge Of the rela-
ton between the wise spending Of the
individual consumers dollar and ma
tional prosperity and "a more sympa
thetic understanding Of problems en-
countered by producers and distribu-
tors in their efforts to serve the con-
sumner efficiently"
As part Of this program aiming at
better cooperation between merchant
and customer, members Of the clubs are
being questioned as to their attitude
toward a number of current retail
trade practices and their opinion of
the goods which are being offered them
for sale. Several of the best known
weekly and monthly publications, read
widely by the women Of the country,
are cooperating with the federation in
distributing the questionnaires and sup
plying the educational material.
Among the subjects being studied are:
Returned Merchandise, Retail De-
livery" Credit Relations" "Construc-
tive Advertising" and Production and
Selection Of Desirable Merchandise.
Under the one heading Of Returned
Merchandise" a great deal Of useful
and effective information has been dis
tributed, based on the experience Of
local merchants. The organized BUSH
ness men OF Washington alone have re-
ported to the Commerce Department
that in the Federal district there is
an annual loss through the returned
goods practice Of more than q quarter
OF million dollars.
Census figures show that more than
