PLENTY OF ROOMS IN WASHINGTON CITY NOW WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 21.— There is no reason why newcomers to the capital should have difficulty finding rooms living on clerks’ salaries, and published reports that new government employes were forc ed to “walk the streets” because they could not get lodging, are not well founded, according to letters % sent thruout the country today by the United States civil service com: mission.

The committee held that the cost of living has increased 40 per cent and that the increase of 20 per cent in wages will equalize the sacrifice to be made in this time of stress.

No tribute at this time can be more fitting than a firm resolve to prac- tice “thrift.” Like the words of father to son, down through the years, comes the advice of “The Father of His Country” to the people of America today: “Economy makes happy homes and sound nations—instill it deep” Washington’s America fought for the principles of liberty and fumanity just as the America of today fights for these principles. Washington knew the terrors that war held for the thriftless—he knew, that national thrift is necessary to win a war. You who revere the memory of Washington, heed his words. Make thrift your every-day rule of living, and regularly put a share of your savings into War Savings Stamps Go to the postoffice, nearest bank, trust company or other author- {zed agency and start the helpful habit of buying and saving War Savings Stamps and U.
