The man who lived through war times, and still is in ..business, may now save a part of his" income if he wishes. everybody employed at wages that would make $5 a day look like star vation.

It Is his ereaae of less than a dollar a week each. choice. How Is he choosing? Often sensi bly; that is one reason why there are some signs of business improvement; sometimes foolishly; thst is one rea son why the improvement is not more general. The lesson of thrift is still to be lerrned in many cases. i For example: Tabulations of household budgets, family expendi tures, come to hand every week. From reading them, one often gets the impression that such things as potroast, leg of mutton, side meat, spare ribs and bens are as much out of style as cabbages and kings, and that only sliced ham at GO cents a pound, porterhouse steak, rib chops, rib roasts and broilers are fit food for any American family. j Even government statistic i a n s seem to hold this point of view. They' still figure out health and decency "standards." which one must apend 200 or $3000 a year to lire up to.' and which would condemn four-fifths of the head and hand workers in tre United States ministers, doctors and teachers among others to an inde-' cent life, and not distant death. j But there are plenty of signs In! dally life to the same effect. One does not have to read books, or cir culars, to find them. A young woman earning $25 a week pays $18 for a pair of sued a shoes. There are Uousands like her and so such ehoes still stand at $18 In the shops. ' A man pays $16 for a pair of shoes. Jalthougt 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 ago, the $16 shoe is still priced, and sold as readily to some men as in 1918. A few miles from Chicago, the pro prietor of a drug store drives a me dlura priced motor car; be owns the business. His delivery boy also drives a car which, new, cost only a few tundred dollars less than the proprietor's. The other evening a seven-passenger motor car drove up to a house where the writer was to dine. A young woman gofout, who afterward appeared in the dining room as a valtress.
