the saloon, once effectively and wise­

enness, dissipation, waste, idleness
and criminality in metropolitan cen­

tolerated. In times so tense and un­
certain it is an unhappy and unfor­

greatly aggravated by the reckless
and restless temper of many men and
some women.

a service to the makers and owners

has served the country illy. It would

President Butler of Columbia
University Says Saving
Only Remedy
San Francisco.—President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia Univer­
sity, speaking here before the Com-
i..'rcial Club, said, “punishing profi­
teers Is a good thing, but it won’t
reduce the cost of living. If we .''i-d
all their hoarded goods it would do
little good.
"Onl the operation of Inexorab ■
economic laws can bring us back to
tolerable conditions. The remedy is
to save, to practice public economy
and private thrift. We must save
and invest In productive industry.
Borrowing for non-productive rea­
sons mean bankruptcy."
In the opinion of the best econo­
mists in the United States the peoples’
greatest weapon against high pi Ices
is the Government’s Thrift and War
Savings Stamps. Every family sho...d
have a budget, just as every success­
ful business has a budget. The first
thing on that budget should be the
amount to be saved from the weekly
or monthly income—not the amount
to be spent. Make what you save
govern the amount you spend, not the
amount you spend govern the amount
you save.
War Savings Stamps bring 4 per
cent interest, compounded every three
months. Hit high prices below the
belt by investing in United States
securities. The dollar you save today
will be worth twice as much five years
from now.

Washington. — Hand
grenades,
which the Government will shortly
make available to thrifty individuals
through banks and trust companies as
souvenirs of the Great War, date
back five centuries as war weapons
They were known to have been used
in 1427 at the siege of the Fortress
of Casamaggiore, on the River Po,
the defenders using a glass bottle
filled with powder.
The term ‘‘grenadiere’’ grew out
of the training of the best qualified
among the soldiers of Louis XIV, in
1765, to hurl these grenades. In En­
glish history, as well, the grenadiers
are found from the Seventeenth Cen­
tury on. The Russo-Japanese war,
however, developed the grenade into
the effective weapon it proved in the
Great War. Jam tins, tomato cans,
and other metal receptacles were
salved from scrap heaps and filled
with powder. These were the imme­
diate forerunners of the modern cast

President Wilson’s victory at the
peach conference reminds us of our
country editor’s description of his
triumph over an irate subscriber;
“Fastening our nose between his
teeth and our heair in his hands we
held on firmly until help arrived.”
The failure of the so-called labor
conference at Washington to get any
where in the matter of reaching an
agreement on the matter under con­
sideration does not mean that it has
not accomplished its real purpose—
namely,, to provide some administra­
