FRUGAL MRS. FRANKLIN

Assembling quotations on thrift
from the writings of Benjam Frank
lin in this 25Oth year after his birth,
the United States Savings Bonds
Division turned up an admission by
Poor Richard that he was not frugal,
himself, but owed the family's thrifty
ways to his wife.
In letter to his friend Miss Alex
ander, written at Passy during a
mission to France in June, 1882,
Franklin wrote: 'Frugality is an en-
, rlchlng virtue; d virtue | never could
acquire in myself; but l was once
lucky enough to find it in a wife, who
thereby became fortune to me-"
Franklin married Deborah Read,
the girl who laughed at the sight of
him walking along the street in Phil
adelphia the morning he arrived from
Boston, eating roll he had bought
in bakeshop,
His tribute to her thrift has the
ring of sincerity, not flattery. 1t
should be relished by every wife
whose husband believes thrift to be
a noun of masculine gender and
spndthrift its feminine form.
How many of the more than 40
million Americans who own U. S.
Savings Bonds are females the Treas
ury admits it doesn't know. With up
wards of 1850, 100000 bonds issued
so far, the Bureau of the Public Debt
has plenty to do to keep microfilm
and punch card files on each one
without trying to figure out how
many are anything besides thrifty.
1t Is pretty safe guess, however,
that woman's name is on better
than 80 per cent of those bonds.
either as owner, coowner or bene-
1lclary. Millions of women buy bonds
regularly on payroll savings or where
they bank. Another interesting sta
tstlc void be the number of men who
buy bonds with the advice and con.
sent of the little woman. ANYWAY.
TIP your hat to Deborah Franklin.
who taught thrift to its greatest
apostle.

Editorials . . .

of his talent for direct action, Wilson
revived Washington's custom of de-
livering his messages to Congress
personally. When he went to the Yer
sailles Peace Conference he was the
first American President to leave
these shores while in office.
1t is altogether appropriate that
Wilson's Centennial should recall his
accomplishments in order that we
may benefit again from his wisdom
in seeking the solution of today's
problems. On the domestic and in
ternational scene they are not far
different from those he faced or en-
visioned and on which he counseled
us.

WOODROW WILSON'S
CENTENNIAL

There are few men In American
history whose contribution to our
country was as great or varied as
that of Woodrow Wilson, our 18th
President whose Centennial we cele-
brate this year. Or whose accomplish
mentS we have let slip into fQrgetful-
ness as we did those of Wilson until
we We're reminded of them by his
Tooth anniversary.
Doubtless, we all remember that
as Communicating Chief during World
War | Wilson organized and success
fully led the first military effort in
history involving the transport of
more than one million armed men
across a great ocean. Many of us
also remember Wilson's great vision
of international organization for
world peace, the League of Nations.
Though our own country refused to
join the League and it was failure,
through it Wilson pointed the way
to the United Nations.
But, in addition to these momentous
accomplishments, Wilson left us rich
legacy in other fields. Wilson was q
scholar of history, political science,
and public administration and his
works on constitutional and congress
lonal government are classics. Wilson
was an educator and his reorganiZa-
ton of Princeton University when he
was its president set the pattern for
much of modern higher education.
Wilson was an author and writer and
his public papers and speeches are
models of clear thinking and lucid
writing. Unlike many public figures
today, incidentally, Wilson prepared
these himself - writing them first
in shorthand and often typing the
first draft himself even while in the
White House.
But Wilson was not Just a theorist
or author of note. He was also man
of decisive action. AS Governor of
New Jersey he ouSted a corrupt po-
lltical machine. During his admins
tration as President, Federal aid to
highway construction was initiated
child labor was outlawed, women roI
the vote, the first Secretary of Labor
was appointed, railroad and merchant
marine employment was first reguiat-
ed, a Federal Cancellation service for
labor disputes was established, a
minimum wage law first tried, and
the international Labor Office Great
ed.
He set up machinery to extend
credit to farmers. The Federal Re-
serve Board, back bone of the nations
banking system, was created. The
Phlllpplnes were started on the road
to independence. The Federal Power
commission came into being. Symbolic
