DAVIS Who, by thrifty means, worked his way up from steel mill hand to U. 8, secretary of labor. Washington, Jan. 23.~—America to- day is enjoying a practical demonstra- tion of the value of thrift among our| people. Hundreds of thousands of our women and chil- dren are cashing in on the thrift which they prac- ticed in the pur- chase of govern- ment securities to aid their time of war. If the lessons learned thfough wartime thrift can be continued in daily practice and the whole American pedple will have taken a long step forward prosperity and happiness. The man who has money enough to insure plenty for him and his is the man who works steadily, spends ju- diciously and saves systematically. Saving is not stinginess. Thrift is not parsimony. The individual who knows when and how to spend his money is the individual who knows| when and how to save hig nmioney. | GIRL WHO WORKED * FOR ‘REDS' IS HERE in DAVIS | toward | (Continued from First Page) | schedule was put into effect and quite | recently she says order has begun to develop out of a decidedly chaotic| condition and Russian railway scrvl‘:v; is more or less satisfactory. | The first, second and third class come a real American fl chief desire at the presen learn the American mode | dressing and t American styles. not intend to go to work finish her education here if possible.

Our‘ law providing the powers of our com- mission was said to restrict our rep-| resentatives, A change was called | for and it was said that the President | would ask for more freedom for our representatives immediately. Then it was stated that the President would | not seek such change at present; he preferred to wait until a more satisfac- | tory arrangement was reached. The British commission has started for home to discuss matters there. Thus it develops that the British commission did nof have quite as broad powers, probably, as was at first supposed. Our commission with its restricted powers was not com- pletely to blame for the failure to reach an agreement on this matter which is Of especial importance at this time. Granted that the state- ment by the British Chancellor of the Exchequer was fair iw its general terms, it will not be as readily grant- ed that it was fair when reduced to concrete propoSitions. If it had been found that the agreement which the British commission had power to make had seemed a proper arrange- ment to our commission, despite its| restrictél powers, there is little doubt | but that there would have been no no lack of harmony would be the| very officials concerned. And at Irast! one of these persons, namely Secre-| tary of States Hughes has assured the country that there is no lack of | harmony, absolutely none. Some time ago the lctters of a member of former President Wilson's cabinet, written just before the United States entered the war, were cited in these columns as they were being published, as examples of what might well be written by a member of Presi- dent Harding's cabinet at this time. They were protests made at the de- lay then, just before we entered the war. There might be letters written today by members of the President's cabinet, protesting at the inaction of the administration. The more one respects Secretary Hughes, the more one is inclined to feel that, although too wise a lawyer to commit any pro- tests to paper, perhaps, he may well be registering a mental protest at this time. There i§ no foundation for ru- mors of a lack of harmony, probably; any evidence of disagreement would be destroyed before it became tangi- ble. The men with whom President Harding has surrounded himself are too loyal and realize too deeply prob- ably what trouble such sevidence would make just now.

Fam. ilies did not have as much as a pound | of bread each. While her family was | not molested by bolshevik, she says they suffered severely from lack of | food. During the same year the Je were severely persecuted by the Russians. More than a year ago, Mr. Kaplan sent money for transportation and passports for his family to come to this country. Miss Kaplan says the| bolsheviki did not cause any trouble when they started to leave the coun- | try, but it required aimost a year to cut through official red tape to get| permission to depart. Every article of personal property had to be num- bered and registered and such things as Russian books, etc, were barred frem export. At the frontier the of- ficlals did not even examine their bag- gage, proving that it would be an easy manner to smuggle forbidden articles out. A full week was spent in Latvia and six weeks in Riga, enroute. It re- quired about six weeks to get permis- sion from the Latvian government 4o pass through the country and three weeks were spent on the ocean. There was a severe storm at sea, she says and the captain and passengers were worried. In general conditions are growing much better in Russia, says Miss Kap- lan.
