"PERFECT" MAN GETS ROAST London Writer Refuses to Envy Worn* on Who Are "Blessed" With j Such a Life Companion. Every one envied a certain lady because it was apparent that she had inch a* perfect husband. True enough, the gentleman neither drank, swore, looked at other women, grumbled, nor did he spend any time away from his wife except when at business. Yet the woman who "possessed" this model of perfection found him a most Irritating companion with whom she was forced to spend her life, says London Answers. For instance, if she got worn out trying to pacify baby, who was cross, and eventually lost her temI per with the child, her husband would come in, take the little one in his arm and amiably try?and often succeed, aa a fresh person sometimes does?to work the oracle with calmness. That would be all very well if he nnt on the "See how much bet ter my method Is" air, which is most [ tantalizing. ' j Perfect men are so anxious to obtrude their perfection upon their womenfolk that they often defeat their own ends. They spend money on seats for the opera or buying little presents with bo knowledge of whether such will be the most acceptable or desirable gifts. It is because these men are so good in intentions that their wives haven't the heart to say, "I'd rather have had 5 shillings for a new box iron. It would ave me such a lot of trouble." ! The husband who has a few glaring faults is pretty sure to look over his wife's failings and humor her whims. The perfect man has a horrible knack Of preaching at his womenfolk. The woman with a faultless husband Often feels like doing something to (make him swear at her. Perfection is apt to become dull and monotonous. Don't envy the woman with a perfect husband, you wives who wish your own men wouldn't drop cigarette (ash on the carpet or storm a bit when things go wrong; for these careless, temperish" men have a lot of good qualities to balance their faults. The man who never raises his voice /Himnlnln rarelv softens it to wife with loving words of praise. Shells Still Flying. Residents of the devasta:ed districts of France are still fleeing from bursts Of shell and shrapnel. j The new menace is caused by the [ small grass and swamp fires, which frequently set off the shells that have been piled up to be hauled away and ; exploded in some safe place. l|aj. H. C. Greene of Boston had a thrilling ride and narrowly escaped a hail of shrapnel on his way from St. Qnentin to Laon as a result of one of these fires. A French woman working in a field near Bouconville was , gassed and considerable damage has t been done. i In the vast, desolate fields, thousands of unexploded shells have been | picked up by German prisoners, and ' though there are details hauling them away and exploding them in remote' alleys every day, there are still long ranks of them everywhere. Sparks (from locomotives and frpm small fires where battlefield rubbish is 'being A burned occasionally ?et fire to patches of dry, weeds, und the accidental bursts are numerous. Brazilian Church 100 Years Old. Christ church of Rio de Janeiro, which soon will celebrate its centenary, is said to have been the first Protestant church to be built in South America.

Vigorous assistance in the movement to reduce the high cost of living through encouraging sane spending, will be given by the War Loan Organization of the Fifth Federal Reserve District in 1920, according to an announcement made from Richmond, Va., by Albert S. Johnstone, director for this district, which includes tiie State of South Carolina. "With the foundation of the government's savings movement firmly laid and with a full knowledge of the tremendous benefits which inevitable follow when the principles of thrift are adopted, the United States Treasury Department will continue to push i the movement," Director Johnstone said. "The War Loan Organization of this district has enjoyed the co-operation ? . II il J !-.-4 ?t Jl oi many aoie citizens, uie uiauici m- i rector continued. "Numerous banks I and mercantile and industrial establishments have rendered whole-hearted assistance while newspapers of the district, by their patriotism ani generosity, have accorded a service of inestimable value. Spending, Saving and Investing. "It will be the policy of the War Loan Organization of the Fifth Federal Reserve District during 1920 to continue to emphasize the importance of spending wisely, of saving regularly and systematically, of investing in sound securities. It will endeavor to find or create new markets for government securities, and to point out to investors the attractiveness of Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes, particularly when bought at market prices. Also especial emphasis will be given to the savings movement which is now popularly identified with War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. "A point to be mentioned, but which no longer needs to be emphasized, is that thrift does not mean miserliness. It means getting your money's worth; it means the elimination of waste; it means saving on what you do not need; it means the steadfast refusal i ISJ U Uj UOCICOO iUAUl:CO, IV Ul^ailO VU\? most efficient use of all natural and acquired resources; It means safeguarding against unforseen emergencies for the future. Total Exceeds Billion. 'Through this thrift movement, b?gun in December 1917, the government has marketed to millions of purchasers savings securities to a total exceeding $1,121,000,000. Despite the falling off in interest on the part of the public in these securities follow- ^ ing the armistice, the sales began to increase last summer, showing that the efforts of the treasury to stem j the tide of extravagance and develop habits of saving were beginning to bear fruit. "The development of this savings movement during recent months has been very encouraging. Since the beginning of the present school year, more than 6,000 savings societies have been organized in the schools of the Fifth Federal Reserve District. In many school rooms and grades every child is a member of a Savings Society having agreed to save systematically and invest his savings in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. How much this movement means potentially it suggested by the fact that during the last two weeks in October children in the public schools in Baltimore alone saved $23,600, investing the whole amount in these securities. "Upwards of 1,000 woman's organizations throughout the district have been actively enlisted in studying budget-making, promoting thrift among their members and associates, shopping more carefully, and in these ways fighting campaigns in behalf of systematic saving and wise investment in government securities in more than j 600 concerns in this district employing j more than 385,000 people."
