The method was devised for the National Y. M. C. A. and Is published by that organization. The lessons are short, consisting of about twenty simple sentences on everyday matters, and a class is taught by repeating one sentence at a time after the teacher, who illustrates it witn motions and objects "I look at my watch," says the teacher, who takes out his own watch The class repeats this in chorus, then individually. The next entence deals with numbers and the telling of time. All sentences are linked together, and each teaches at least one new word with connectives. At the end of the lesson it is .ihown to the class in printed form on a chart. At the request of the Treasury Department, a special thrift lesson dealing with War Savings Stamps has been written and Is now in the hands of American secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. all over the country. This lesson is an excellent illustration of the method by which thousands of ^ ' foreign-bora workers are now learning English, and it is as follows: Haa?John has some money Puts?'He puts it in a stocking. Says?Jim says: "It is not safe" {Answers?John answers: "No? I will see" Looks?He look* for his money. Is Stolen?The money is stolen. Saves?John saves more money.

I Only three men out of every hundred have a savings account at the age of forty-five, ninety-seven per cent of them losing their entire savings in some reverse. Are you taking a chance, thirtythree to one, on being one of those ninety-seven? Or art you making sure that you will answer "present" when the roll of three Is called? It's just as easy to be in this latter class as in the first?if you think. Ninetyseven men out of every hundred dont Mtiv marine spasmodically, if they aTe.it all, srnd teYestii^jn securities of which they do not bnow' the value.

THRIFT APPEAL Corporations Mai! War Savings Stamp Notice When Sending Out Dividends. Not only is thrift becoming a part of the general education of the people of small and moderate means who are being taught and encouraged to cultivate habits of wise saving and sensible spending; efforts are being made to attract to the thrift campaign ihe stockholders of practically every large corporation in the United States. Already twenty-six of the largest corporations in the country have agreed to mail with notices of dividend payments to stockholders inserts calling attention to the desirability of investing their stock earnings in War Savings Stamps. These corporations which have an exceedingly wide distribution of stock are among the largest dividend paying corporations In the United States. Some of them already are mailing thrift inserts to their stockholders, and others have agreed to do so upon the next dividend date. The inserts which stockholders receive along with their'dividend notices are as follows: "Double ycir resources by investing savings icrularly.

PARALLEL TO RUSSIAN IDEA. Calls Railroad Brotherhoods' Plan for Government Ownership "Soviet Economics Venture." New York.?The New York World, in a leading editorial, characterizes the railroad labor plan for Government ownership of railroads as "a straightout adventure into Soviet economics." The editorial page of the World has long had a national reputation for undeviating support of Democratic principles, hostility to Wall street, and the most loyal and vigorous assistance to President Wilson. The World says: "Revolution by Ultimatum." The plan of the railroad brotherhoods for taking over the railroad properties of the country is a straightout adventure into Soviet economics. It contemplates collective ownership, but class operation and control, which is at the foundation of. the Soviet system. The American people, through their Government, are to buy the railroads from the private owners and turn these properties over to the railroad employees to manage and operate. In consideration of an investment of ap roximately $20,000,000,000 the Government is to appoint one-third of the directors, and the public is to share *5 such savings in the cost of operation as may remain after the employees have paid themselves what they think their services ought to be worth. The spirit in which the program ia> put forth may be inferred from a state ment made by B. M. Jewell, adting president of the railroad employees' department o-f the American Federation of Labor, in which he said that if President Wilson's suggestion to Congress was carried out "we will tie up the railroads so tight that they will never run again if that legislation is passed." It might have been Trotzky himself speaking to a bourgeoise that had offered mild and academic objections to being despoiled. . Who Is the Government? Before any railroad plan can be worked out one highly essential fact must be established?namely, whether the sovereign power of the United States is vested in Government and in the American people or whether it is vested in the railroad brotherhoods. For three years now the brotherhoods have assumed that the sovereign power was vested in them, and Congress has proviiW them with excellent reasons for that assumption. When the raiir?M ampleyees in the critical period of the summer of 1916 demanded an eight-hour day and threatened a general strike, President Wilson sent a message to Congress in which he nrged that the eight-hour day be made the basis of work and wages, but he made four other proposals, one of which called for? "An amendment to the existing Federal statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation and arbitration of such controversies as the present by adding to it a provision that in case the methods of accommodation now provided for should fail, a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute should be instituted and completed before a strike or lockout may be lawfully attempted." Try to intimidate Congress. Congress refused, to enact this legislation because- the labor leaders objected to:it, and now we have a situation in which a labor leader can threaten tQ."tie up the railroads so tight that th^y will never run again" if Congress presumes to pass an act to which the brotherhood autocracy objects as unequal to its Imperative demands. The railroad brotherhoods have embarked upon a policy that even the most conservative of them must admit is economical]." revolutionary. If -heir scheme of nationalization under class control is to be carried out in respect to railroads, nobody can draw the line where It shall sto;< until all Industry Is under Soviet direction. Yet they are not putting their program out as a matter to be discussed and deliberately considered by the American people. They are trying to force the issue and bring about a revolution by ultima turn. The Public Pays. Irfthelast three years the railroad employees have received hun'-eds of millions of dollars in wage i: -\ases for which the general public Is j . ving. As a reward for Its generosity riie country is to be taken by the threat and choked into submission if the ha complicated economic issues that bin' ever confronted it are not settled fortl. v?-WV?
