THRIFT ESSENTIAL FOR PROSPERITY (By George Wheeler Hinmanl Chicago We are advise ddaily by the economists that bv thrift we must restore the capital destroyed by the war. If thrifty, we are assured, we can make good in 12 years the total de struction of the EuroDean conflict Only by thrift, we are warned, we can get the abundant capital which means permanently easy money and oreaic; permanently prosperous busi ness and national welfare. , The opportunity for thrift is here. The cost of living has gne down 30 to 40 percent certainly one-third, in the last year. The man who lived through war times, and still is in business, may now save a part of his income if fie wishes. He may buy the same things he bought a year ago, and at the end of the month have a surplus to put In the bank. Or, he may buy more tnmgs tnan he boiieht a year ae-o and at the end of the month have nothing but receipted bi!ls. It is his choice. How is he choosing? Often Fensi bly; that is one raason why there are so many signs of business improve ment; sometimes foo'ialily; that is one reason why the improvement is not more generfL' The lesson of thrift is sti'l to bo learned in many cases. For example: Tabulations of household budgets, family expendi tures, come to hand every wvk. From , readincr them one often irets the impression that such things as potroast, leg of mutton, side meat, spare ribs and hens are as much out of style as cabbages and kings, and that only sliced ham at 50 cents a pound, porterhouse Steak, rib chops, rib roasts and broilers are fit food for any American family. Even government statisticians seem to hold this point of view. They still figure out health and decencv "stand ards." which one must SDend $2600 or $3000 a year to live ud to. and which would condemn four-fifths of the head and hand workers in the United States ministers, doctors, teachers, among others to an inde cent life, and not distant death. But there are plenty of signs in daily life to the same effect. One does not have to read books, or cir culars, to find them. ' A jtoung woman earning1 $25 week, pays S18 for a pair of suede shoes. There are thousands like her and so such shoes still stand at $18 in the shops. A man pays $16 for a pair of shoes. although by walking a few blocks he can get equally good ones for $9. And so, with the raw materials for shoes costing less than ten years aeo. the $16 shoe is still priced .and sold as readily to some men, as 'in 1918. A few miles (from Chicaeo. the proprietor of a drug store drives a medium priced motor car: he owns the business. His deliverv "bov" also drives a car, which, new, cost only a few hundred dollars less than the proprietor's. The other evening a seven-pasaen ger motor car droveup to a house where the writer was to dine. A woman got out, who afterwards ap peared m the dining room as a wait ress. Her father, who was not over paid as a small town employe, had Drought her in his machine to do her bit of work and he called for her later when the bit was done. Very good, lucky father and for tunate daughter; perhaps it is cap tious to mention it only, if motor cars, cord tires and gasoline are to continue to be necessary to the "health and decency" standard of of living, the readjustment is certain ly complicated, and the reconstruc- tion will have to be notably revised and prolonged. How many persons have heard the expression from unemployed men of late, "I'd starve before I'd work for $5 a day?" rivnty of them, if they have kept their ears open. But why multiply cases? XT ! it. wnrfl tlOKSIUlPi "l would be gratified to see all delivery boys ride in touring cars, motor to their appointments, all the men and women walk down the boulevard in $18 suocios anu " skins, and uvWrybody employ'" l wages that wouiu nuiiu " look like starvation. Only it is not possible; there is m ntnnoir nnnllirh 111 the United State; even in the flush times of war, tH'',H, was not enough money. It all or uh incomes above $25,000 a year had then been taken away from thMr possessors and had Deen uisvnuuw-u anion the rest of us, we snouiu have received an increase of less than a dollar a week each.

During the summer he has worked in the harvest fields, in the forest service and has clerked in a country store.

"College girls need more food than their parents, because they are still growing and because they are more active, she says.
