"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.

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.
It was erected to provide a place of
worship for the English community.
Two restrictions were placed on the
church, the exterior was to resemble
dwelling house and not a temple,
and no bells were allowed. Out of
this concession grew the religious

Although President Emeritus Eliot
of Harvard university no longer takes
an active part in the conduct of the institution

TO FIGHT HIGH COSTS
PITH SAVINGS WEAPON
War Lean Organiz-tion of Fifth Federal
Reserve District Will Continue
to Develop Thrift and
Savings Plan.
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."
