THRIFT WEEK CAUSE HIT Business Man Opposes Plan, But Local Interests Uphold It. Stophen Talkes, secretary of the Association of Retall Credit Men of ! Washington, condemned the action on the part of the moving picture houses for refusing to show piotures of the national thrift committee on the soreen because they felt that it would cut down the attendance to plcture shows, at a banquet of the credit men in the Raleigh Hotel last night. A representative from a big busi- ness house in New York expressed himself in opposition to Thrift week. Mr. Talkes sald, because he felt that it would discourage people too much in the spending of money. The idea of a Thrift week as pro- posed by the local credit men's as- toclation, Mr. Talkes explained, s to encourage a wise spending of money, and he expressed the beilef that It would {ncrease business. Following his address, the meeting was turned over to the entertainment committee.

Life appeared a bit brighter today for' the 300 inmates of ‘the District's almshouse - at Blue Plains. The stories of their ailments and hard luck, calloused from regelling, which have formed a part.of - their daily soclal life, were shelved. into the background as they grouped around the little “wonder box™ of the age— & radio receiving set—and listened to the music and volces in:the ether. About 10 o'clock this morning sev- eral employes of the electric power plant of the Washington navy yard practice of allowing a person to pur- chase on ahother person's account was bad. A resolution was adopted to try in some way to put a stop to such practice. Means of collection were -discu: The following organisations were elected to membership in the organi- zation: Saks Fur Company, D. Alpher, jeweler; Kraft Brothers, gri@ders; George T. Keen, Inc., F.

The ether was “scratehed” for music, and music came. It was just like Alad- din’s magic lamp to these unfortunates. They couldn’t comprehend ‘its power to pick up messages and music from the air, but demonstrated visibly the hap- Bmul that radlo brought into their 'Rel\lll what happin lo can bring ln!:‘t.ha lives of the “shut-1ins, Frank Dunn, employe of the navy yard, started a subscription list for funds to pun:bm a et for the inmates of the rhouse.
