THE MONEY TREE
By ETHEL M. TROY

Dominant in current national
thought is the male citizen regis
tered for military service. Plans
and programs demand attention,
not alone for the coming year, but
for the effect the present emer-
gency will have on his future.
Many of these young men are
genuinely concerned at the pros
pect, but thoughtful study Of the
situation may convince them that
they are unduly alarmed.
The measures adopted obviously
are designed to cause the least
possible interruption of the bust
hess, economic and family activi-
ties of the nation.
Since not more than 100000 men
will be in training at one time, of
the 16,8O0,000 men registered, only
in 10 will be called at one time.
Volunteer enlistments and other in
tiuences will bring the individuals
chances of serving to approximate
ly l to "a. Normal living plans
should not be altered when the odds
are only l to "a. Even the tor
odds of 10 to l are heavily in the
individuals favor.
Furthermore, being called, the
individual has many provisions by
law for his protection. No court
action can proceed until the court
has appointed an attorney for his
counsel; installment contract pur.
chases are protected, repossession
being permitted only by court ac-
ton; the same with rent and mort
gage payments, the court being en-.

unemployment after service are
broadly and generously conserved
the Selective Training and Service
Act, and the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act are built to carry
through defense training with the
least possible interruption to nor.
NAL life.
Real patriotism now requires
earnest efforts to keep the eco.
nomic and family life Of the nation
on an even keel. Logic may
recommend the purchase of life in.

is no need to delay - 1915, ever
