The Year of Thrift . This year marks the anni versary of the establish ment of the first savings banI. in the United States. In commemoration of this centennial, banlers' organ izations are speeding up the thrift movement. Strangely enough, this ef fort comes at a time when national progress in com merce and industry depend on the people's power to save. No .longer can America draw on the savings of the thrifty people of Europe for capital with which to de velop its resources. From now on the United States must produce its own capital. An account in a savings bank insures national progress and your own inde pendence. One Dollar Starts an Account! The Enterprise National Bank N. B. DIAL, Presidcnt C. H.

FLOWERS TELL OWN STORY Japanese Art Enables One Readily to Understand the Significance of 1 heir Arrangement. In the Flowery Kingdom they work wonders with their flowers. They zlake calendars of them. They tell stories with them. They symbolize aeroplanes, dainty women, and every thing else by means of floral units, which we in America would use merely for a bouquet. The folklore and mythology of Japan are often vividly expres:ecl in flower arrangement. In arranging flowers the Japanese try to place them in the same posi tion that they would naturally take. An American would put a bunch of cherry blossoms into a vase, upright; a Japanese would place the branch in a horizontal position, such as they occupy in growing. The Japanese idea of flower ar rangement is that one perfect indi vidual flower, together with leaves and stem, is more beautiful than masses of them bunched together. By using special containers and supports, the Japanese make flowers last twice as long as we do. In ar ranging flowers in a receptacle they trim the leaves from the stalks be low the water, and for a short dis. tance above. This gives the flower the appearance of growing. By tak ing a piece of bamboo, the Japanese will conventionally place flowers in it in such a way as to reproduce a ship in a calm or in a storm. The Japanese do not like the rose and the lily. Flowers that have thorns are cruel and those whose pet als drop off symbolize inconstancy. The cherry, wistaria, magnolia, azalea, peony, camellia, peach, plum, maple, pine, chrysanthemum, iris, lotus and morning glory find more popular favor. LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT Comparatively Trivial Trouble in Phil adelphia Building Made Structure Temporarily Worthless. Any high-school girl graduate can write a pretty essay on "The Little Things That Count." For example, a cinder in the eye is more formidable than Mount Shasta, :1600 miles away. One fly spoils a bar rol of ointment, and so on indefinitely. Had the president of the United States resigned at 11:45 o'clock on a recent day scores of persons would have been less affected than they were when the elevator men in a skyscraper at lIroad and Chestnut quit work. We do have a vice president, but we have no wings to carry us to our eight eenth floor ollices. Consternation is a feeble word and far too anemic to describe the feelings of that throng of msen and women who swiftly clogged the corridors of that huge building. Can you imagine a moro futile thing than 20 floors of masonry and steel without an elevator? You never can imagine how many people shoot up and down in these iron-grilled cages in ten minutes, until the (ages cease to fly like shuttles on a weaver's loom. Just a few ('lts' worth of human en ergy in the arm of a man, or rather the lack of it, puts $.000,000 worth of building on the scrap heap!-I'hila delphia Public Ledger. "Ye" is Pronounced "Thuh." Tho "y'" in 'ye' is simply a substi tote for (ho Anglo-Saxon 'thorn let ter," so called, which we have no way of getting into this colimn. Tihat Anglo-Saxont letteir, liko the cor-re sponding Icelandic char-acter, stood1 for "thi." The Encyclopedia liritan. nica says: "The 10nglishl letter 'thorn' sur vived and continued in uso dlown to the fifteenth century, when it. was transfoirmed to y." As for the priontlliation of ''ye,' meaning 'the,'' it. is, of course (as near' as we can put it into -printer's in1k) "thuh'' today, as was In ('haucer's timo andl log before. Nobody who sp~eaks 10nglish ever pronounces "tihe" as if it speiled "thee," but gives it the same soundh as tihe "e" has in the cor'resp~onding F~rentch word. Just as the French pronounce '"be jour"' "iuh zhour,'' so is 'the dlay' ptronounlcedl "thuh day." . . .iTho class is now dismtissed.-Manitoba Frleel ire(ss. Saliva and the Emotions.

Why do so nany mothers fall? Is it not because they lack imagihdtion? Because they cannot see the effect of their training on their children's later life? They have fixed rules to fit pres ent circumstances. Their discipline is for today; none of it has reference to the future. If mothers had a little more vision, they would not try to govern their children to suit parental convenience, but they would let the youngsters be themseulves. A mother should be able to see the man in the child, as the gardener sees the bush with its blossoms in the tiny sprout; and she should care for her children as ho cares for his plants-not trying to twist them into unnatural shapes but providing the proper conditions for them to develop according to their nature. Help your child to develop judg ment rather than compel him to obey arbitrary rules. The arbitrary for mulas of conduct you manufacture for him today may not help him in the least in his later relationships. When your son grows to maturity he will not be surrounded with the same con ditions that made up the environment of his childhood. le will perhaps go to new places and come in contact with new people. Even if he does not leave his native town, he will have to face new conditions; for his town will change with the times. His city will not harbor the same ideas that pre vailed in his youth. Men will think differently, and ho will have to keep up with the procession. Are you pro paring him to meet the tests of life that will come to him when he is a man? Are you preparing your daugh ter to be a better mother than you are?-Mother's Magazine. ('Ol'NTY ".1It 111 111;0.' WINNERS. (('on inuedl fromi 'age Six). 212 elest Setter (log. I collar , \W. I'.
