inately, just as & matter of national pride, LIONS WILL CARE FOR THE HOMELESS Members of Clubs Will “Adopt” Boys and Girls Chicago,’ eb, 2.—A nation-wide movement for the individual care of homeless boys and girls 18 expected fo be inaugurated here today with the meeting of the directors of the International Association of Lions clubs, In addition, plans for in- ducing aliens to become naturalized citizens, and to instruct them In Americanism upon a bread and com- prehensive basis will alse be formu- lated, Each year the directors of this as- sociation make plans for one or more major activities of its 600 clubs in the United States and Canada, and these are followed out by its mem- bership of 30,000, The plan for the ald to homeless boys and girls was suggested by the president of the as- sociation, Ed 8. Vaught, of Oklahoma . City, The present plan, according to Sec- retary General Melvin Jones, of Chi- cago, contemplates the “adoption” by cach member of the organization of 4 homeless boy or girl and care for the individual child in the way, of looking after its schooling and seeing to it that the child is sufficlently nur- tured with wholesome food, The members are expected to report to their clubs at stated intervals, giv- ing the progress of the children un- der thelr care. In this way it s planned to provide decent surround- ings, education and proper Influence for at lcast 30,000 homeless little ones cach year, The expense will be borne jointly by the individual mem- bers and the clubs, The plan for naturalization and Americanization is a co-operative ac- tivity of the clubs, At the present time more than 175 Lions clubs are conducting ‘naturalization and Amer- icanization classes, and more than 200 clubs are already actively en- gaged in promoting the welfare of homeless children, The plan of the directors is to co- ordinate these activitles and to have all Lions clubs engage in them upon a definite basis. The meating will last three days. USE OF GHEGHS IN NATIONAL FINANCES English Are Using Less Cash as a Help to Gountry’s Condition the theught habit, ever becoming more common, has helped improve the financial sit- uation, Idea in Print The idea appeared in print the other day when the Londen Hankers' Clearing house announced that of the sums now paid inte city banks, seven- tenths of ene per cent eome in eur- reney and coin, all the rest being transfers of eredit by check. Not many years agoe the percentage of cash deposits was several times high- er than today, 1t has been pointed out frequently of late that the use of checks instead of cash allows banks usefully to em- ploy perhaps larger sums than other- wise might be possible in piling new stones upon the nation's economic structure, Given to Habit The English so their newspapers say, are more given to the eheck habit than other people, and this despite the fact that each check is taxed two- pence, A check book cannot be had for the asking, as In America; it must be bought and paid ror, Even housewives make general use of checks when they go to market, and as many of the larger banks have hundreds of branches, ther is usual- Iy a bank within walking distance of the home. The high fees for postal mony orders make it cheaper to re- mit by check for amounts over one pound, and this, too, has encouraged the check habit, Psychologically, some observers question whether the habit is a good one from the standpoint of thrife, since many people who would think twice before spending a certain sum out of their pockets do not hesitate to write a check for the amount; just as it often seems easler to tell a store clerk to charge a purchase to one's account than it 1s to shell out the actual coin. But others ‘con- tend that the Increasing bank clear- ings—they amounted to more than 37,000,000,000 pounds sterling in London alone last year—show not only economic betterment, but also that the average Englishmen has pre- served his own honesty as well as his belief in the honesty of his country- men, INDUSTRIAL RECORD 10,803,000 Working Days Were Lost 1922 Through | During the Year Disputes and Strikes. London, Feb. 2.—The industrial record of 1922 has been “disastrous for employment and workers gener- ally,” according to labor commenta-i tors, who declare that during thel year reductions in wages totalled $5,000,000 pounds sterling a week, and affected 7,500,000 work people. This followed a fall of 7,000,000 pounds sterling in 1921, and it shows a severe cut in the incomes and the spending power of workers. To it should be added the loss in- volved by unemployment and under- employment. Some 19,893,000 days were lost in the course of 535 disputes involving 652,000 work people.
