"Work sad save" is the answer given by the Federal Reserve Board in a latter written by Its governor, W. P. O. Herding, to the Banking Commit ^ : tee of the United States senate. The committee had nnder consideration the proposal to reduce the volume of money In circulation. Governor Harding opposes this plan, holding that It will not afford the relief expected. "The Federal Reserve Board believes" says Governor Harding in his letter, "that any currency legislation at this time is unnecessary and undesirable, and would suggest that whether viewed from an economic or financial standpoint, the remedy for the present situation is the same, namely, to work and to save; to work regularly and efficiently in order to produce and distribute the* largest possible volume of commodities, and to exercise reasonable economies in order that money, goods and services may he devoted primarily to the liquidation of debt and to the satisfaction to the demand fbr necessities, rather thea to indulgence in extrttvagances or the gratification of the desire for luxuries." During the last two years there has undoubtedly taken place a certain amount of credit expansion, Govsrnor Harding ihowa, and this in tba clr amstaacM connected with tha flnanetng of tha war was inevitable. But it will ba eorractad as tha sacuritlas taauad by the government tor war purpoeea are gradually absorbed by laves tor*. This expansion of credit is equal to tha difference, Governor Harding says, between tba total war ? expenditures of the government and the total amounts raised by the government through the medium of taxation and from the sale of its bonds and other obligations so far as thsw . ware paid for out of the savings of the people. He does not believe that aay reliable estimate of this difference ean be made, bnt he is positive that whatever it is, it will be grad sally absorbed through future savings for the reason that backs are lending and may always be expected to lend freely on the government bonds deposited as collateral. The principal cause of price advances just before and during the period of the war was the need of the governments of the allied nations for all kinds of commodities and for immediate delivery in large volume, and the "competition of this buying by governments with purchases by private individuals who failed to contract their expenditures at a rate commensurate.with the growing expenditures of these governments." One of the features of the post-war period, through which the nation is now passing and which has been marked by rising prices. Is the general relaxation of war-time practice of persona] economy. This has resulted In an increased dem.ind for food and clothing and other commodities by many persons who during the wax practiced a more or less "rigid economy in their personal purchases, ^lso, It must be borne in mind that they are not only buying at market prices but are buying in competition witn the export demand. In addition., largely increased wages and incomes during the test five years have developed a demand for many commodities which Are not of real necessity. This naturally has diverted labor and raw and manufactured materials from essentials to aon essentials, contributing no mall pert to tha tread of inereaAtng eats. 4/ V.., :'h in " t !

Treasury Answers Question "Mow Cam 1 Save Money." As an answer to the question, "How Can I Sere Money?" the Barings Division of the Treasury Department has compiled an interesting and helpful pamphlet entitled "How Other l'eopie Get Ahead." For individuals and families whose incomes are less than $5,000 a year this pamphlet offers a number of enlightening suggeetions as to the disbursement of incomes of various amounts from $15 a week upward. Not only does the material furnish a ready answer to the problem of expenses, but it affords an authentic source of Information as to living costs. Tha figures wars compiled from records ot official government investigations into the several subjects and may be regarded as np to date and accurate. This material makes possible s new attack in the movement to make thrift a national characteristic and to foster the habit of "Save First?Spend Afterward." It will interest people in saving more money by showing them how much other people find it possible to save and also by showing them how they can cut down the cost of living comparing their costs with average coats at the same inoome. The Savings Division suggests that an excellent way to drive home the truths of the budget system Is to have the schedules discussed at school and taken home by the children for consideration by the families. Another method is to organise a house-to-house canvass through committees of women who will bring the budgets to the attention of families and secure their agreement to stndy their oarn situation. Saving and spending budgets have been prepared to meet local conditions at a number of points, and much Interest in the application of the budgets to the campaign is being manl feated la sections or tne country where the National Thrift Campaign is being oarried out successfully.

Recent reports from Honolulu contain an interesting and unusual lesson in thrift which may be considered a record for the states to attempt. Sales of War Savings and Thrift Stamps among thn inmates of the Penikese Island Leper Colony during July amounted to $62 pet capita. Altogether 32 purchasers of these securities took a total of $1.?84 of stamps. When it is considered that this 1 ? J- #??. * h "J n th?
