Thrift Talk
Speakers Differ on
Defining 1t

Thrift is still a cardinal Ameri-
can virtue-but Just how it should
be applied Is another thing.
Several speakers at a meeting
sponsored by the Thrift and Sc
curity Foundation Of New York
took widely varying attitudes as
to the definition of thrift.
David CuShman Coyle, noted
economist, advocated a realistic"
thrift designed to conserve Amer.
ica's vast natural resources. He
would do this by Government
spending on mammoth reforesta-
ton, soil conservation and related
projects.
Representative Dewey Short (R),
Missouri. disagreed Numerically,
describing spending and pump
printing" of the past several years
as "ghastly" failure. He char
acterized the past few years as
the greatest spending spree Amer
lea has ever known"
Herbert N. Fell, secretary Of the
foundation, outlined a plan for
a national personal security
fund" which he said would even
tually supplant the social Sc
curity system now in force.

Just One Example

Just One Example
HERE is one example to make it a little simpler.
"A and a case that happens every day, and
many times day in this country Of ours.
fireman suffered crushed leg during fire.
They had to take his leg off. Before the wound
healed he was retired. Later he had to undergo
two more amputations and still his leg didn't
heal. All expense Of the last two operations had
to be borne by the fireman himself. Now, do
any of you people think this is fair? I don't.
OF course, balls are gotten up every year for
their benefit, which is a wonderful thing but
why in the world can't Washington build
city hospital for the disabled, retired firemen
and policemen, where they would be given proper
care and attention? If there was city-owned
hospital for these men. which there should be,
they could have proper care and treatment free
after riskng their lives and giving up their best
years to protect our property. That, to me- is
an imperative and sacred duty we owe this
splendid body Of men.
Mrs Virginia Jenckes Of Indiana introduced
a bill to this effect, but Of course it was turned
down by the District Commissioners and there
was no explanation of this terrible new blot on
the existing conditions in the District.
But all this can be remedied if and when the
ballot is given to the District as a result Of
Saturdays referendum.

Says Boake Carter

ably cover every page of this newspaper.
If one were then to total up the number OF
books, magazines and periodicals used in each
and every one of these institutions, the ultimate
figures would probably look like New Deal finan-
cial StatiSticS
If one then had some method Of computing the
amount of usage given to these millions Of vol
umes and publications every day of every year in
each institution, the reason becomes obvious for
the existence of such an industry as the Library
Bookbinders
Being private industry, however, has it taken
up it's share of the slack? The answer is, No.
Whereas this time last year its employees were
working anywhere from thirty-two to forty hours
a week, now they are averaging two to four days
a week.
For an explanation, turn to the WPA and the
National Youth Administration (NYA). WPA
and NYA projects to rebind books in schools and
libraries are gradually, but Systematically under.
mining the private library binders industry.
Recently a librarian in large MidweStern
city wrote to one bookbinding company, asking
that it not bother to come to the library because
I'VE have WPA bookbinding project in the base
ment which has been operating for some time . .
&c. for the present, they will be reminding our
books for the country schools in this county. All
we need to do is to pay for the supplies they USE
which, Of course, makes it very nice for the
library

Zoo Penguins
Sitting on
NeW Egg

Take it from DR.. William M.
Mann, director of the Zoo-you
can't keep a good penguin on ice.
Mollie and Moe Penguin demon
strated this today, when they pre-
Sented the ZOO with a brand new
egg.
This, despite the fact that only
a while back, their two offsprings,
Minnie and Malcolm, died in their
cradles.
Keeper Malcolm Davis rushed
into the head office of the Zoo
breathless with the discovery.
"Banzai!" he shouted. there's
an egg in the penguin nest.
Mollie and Moe are taking turns
sitting on it. Davis went rapidly
to counting on his fingers. TN
40 days we'll have something
here, DR.. Mann"
And DR.. Mann, never one to be
caught without his rose-colored
glasses, says it may be better than
that. Mollie may have second egg
within the next few days. That's
how it was with the first pair ever
born in captivity. First Malcolm,
then in fe days, Minnie.

World of Finance By Lewis Haney

clear to me that the New Deal is now definitely
defeated, and that the majority Of the people
in this nation are returning to their senses
The general feeling is that we have now tried
about everything once, and that we had better
settle down to business. That is exactly what
we are going to do. The radicals we always have
with us. But just now the average American
citizen is not thinking about tumbrils guilotines
or revolutions.
For example, consider the growing open hos
tility to the RECOMMENDATION of farmers that is
showing among both corn and cotton growers.
Also consider the growing tendency among local
groups of businessmen to organize to deal with
their own problems.

William C. Kirkpatrick, presi-
dent Of the G.. H. A., said members
Of the association and public
generally would be asked to give
the association mandate for
such a hospital where members Of
the organization could be treated
independently of other local hospi-
tails.
Scheduled to address the meet
ing, which will be held in the de-
partmental auditorium on Consti-
tuition Avenue between Twelfth
and Fourteenth Streets, Northwest,
will be DR.. Hugh Cabot, Of the
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Mime
sofa, and Representative Byron
Scott, of California.
DR.. Cabot'S remarks will be on
a group practice method" of pro
viding medical services, while the
Congressman will explain the pro
posed Congressional investigation
into the operation Of group prac.
tice of medicine.
The mandate to be sought from
the group by the board of trustees
of G. H. A. will ask that the mem.
bers authorize the board to pre-.
pare plans for the financing and
erection of a local hospital which
will make all government employees
independent of existing hospitals

Thrift Appears Possible

THUS, with essentially conservative forces gain
l. ing not only here but also in England and
France, am hopeful that the position Of thrift,
saving, investment and equities in productive
capital goods is becoming stronger. This means
that the time will come when it will again be
possible to make real money by investing real
money in real business which will employ real
labor and capital in real production.
AS soon as the pumppriming mania and the
fear of it have passed will realize that already
we have more currency than ever before IN our
history, and that all we need in order to put
