SCIENTIFIC SAVING
One Jay last winter an aequaiu
. tance confessed that though he was
doing a lot of saving he did not seem
at the end of the month to have any
more money than before. We have
since discovered a good many people
in the same dilemma.
You cut out meat except two meals
a week. You forgot early new pota
toes when good old potatoes can be
had for a quarter the price. You eat
canned peas until the product of
near-by gardens becomes plentiful.
Your wife evolves a summer ward
robe for half what she spent last
year. You get a virtuous impression
of economizing at a great rate. But
when you balance the books the net
result is disappointing.
That, we know from personal ob
servation, is a tolerably common
experience.
You must save scientifically, which
means with exact knowledge of what
you are doing. A good way to ac
complish that is to convert every
theoretical saving immediately and
on the spot into government thrift
stamp or war-saving stamp.
A mere general impression that
you are economizing is apt to be a
snare and delusion, because it give3
you an easy conscience when you let
a Uttle here and there; and it
-Soes hot take many lettings-go to
douse the halo of the meatless days.
Those million American boys in
France would infinitely better have
stayed at home than to have gone
over there with a mere general im
pression that they were going to lick
the Kaiser. Every motion they
make is carefully thought out and in
rigorous subordination to a scientific
plan. They had to be drilled for
months so that their general inten
tions would serve a scientific plan.
You are not supporting them ade
quately if you are going on mere
good intentions and general impres
sions. Do it on a thought-out plan, with
definite knowledge of what you are
about. Cinch the saving right at
the moment by buying a thrill
stamp. Set aside a definite part of
your income for stamps and. Liberty
Bonds. The war requires that yo.
too, meet it scientifically. SatmrUaj

SALVAGE.
The important part played In the
war by technically educated men is
nowhere better illustrated than in
the reports now being complied of
the success of salvage engineers in
recovering vessels which have been
sunk by German submarines. For
oceanographic reasons, they have
been most successful near the coast
of Groat Britain and along the shore
of France. There in many places
the waters are comparatively shal
low. The deep waters of tbe Med
iterranean, unfortunately, have kept
their secrets. i
But success of the British Ad
miralty, with the assistance of
American experts, has neverheless
been surprising. Vice-Adniiral Sims,
U. S. N., repored last Decemher that
the British had reclaimed more than
200 ships, of a total tonnage of more
than a million. The rapid progress
made in this science is shown better
in later reports, which indicate that
between January, 1915, and May,
1918, 407 vessels had been re
covered, 147 of them In the first
five months of the present year. This
is the equivalent of a ship a day, and
it has been estimated that the time
required to build the same vessels
under ideal working conditions
would have been 588 months.
If it be accepted as approximately
accurate that the toll of the sub
marine between the declaration of
war and May 31 last was a little
more than thirteen and a half million
tons, it will be seen that marine
salvors have restored more than 11
per cent of the loss. But the figures
do not do justice to the effort of
these engineers, since salvage has
been organized on an effective basis
only about half of that time, and is
only now beginning to get its stride.
Comparison of ships recovered with
the time it would take to build an
equivalent in new tonnage also fails
to tell the entire story because in
many Instances cargoes as well as
slAps have been restored. Raw ma
terials of the metal industry and
many other products not seriously
affected by their sojourn on the
ocean bottom have added Immensely
to the account of the marine salvors.
The methods employed have been
technical, and have reflected much
credit upon the highly educated en
gineers who developed them. Un
skilled labor has played a relatively
insignificant role in accomplishing
the result. But for the inventative
genius and the skill displayed, these
ships would still be resting on the
bottom of the sea. And the world is
atiO calliifc aaora and more insist
ently, for trained men. Oregonian.

We are wondering If there has
keaa anything done toward the re
placing of the bridge on the way to
the school house, which was washed
omt several weeks ago. It will soon
be Urn far school to start, and a
bridge will be needed badly. And
why woald it not be a good scheme
to bafid a bridge which could not be
washed oat so easily. . A bridge
will be needed at that place as long
as we have a school, and it seems to
as ft would be economy to build one
that win withstand both the pressure
of water and the wear of time.

working In the shipyards and logging
camps and says he likes the work
very well. His two brothers and
mother are now all in Portland, the
brothers having positions in the J.

Through no fault of our own, our
program for last Sunday did not
arrive. For the coming Sunday we
have booked "Mother O" Mine," a
high class Universal Special Attrac

Julian playing the principal roles.
We are assured that the pictures
will be shipped so as to arrive on
time, and can personally vouch for
the quality of the entertainment.
