WHICH WILL BE THE NEXT? NOTHER big New York savings bank has adopted The) Evening World’s plan to bring Liberty Bonds within the) reach of small investors and wage earners. The Brooklyn Savings Bank joins the Emigrant and Bowery Savings Banks in Manhattan in offering to depositors and to the! public a chance to buy Liberty Bonds with the bank’s help, payment to be madn in instalments out of current and future earnings. The savings banks of this city have never had a better oppor- tunity to strengthen their position in tye community by sound, prac- tical, patriotic service, What the savings banks of New York do to distribute the Liberty Loan among tho greater body of the people is sure to be imitated by savings banks all over tho country, From the Atlantic to the Pacific {t ought to be shown (as Tho Bening World urged that it be shown in New York) that there is no easier, shorter route by which to bring aid to the nation at this time than through the doors of the savings bank. The Emigrant, tho Bowery and the Brooklyn—three of the largest and best known savings banks {n Greater New York—have hung out their invitations and pledged their help to all comers, Which of the other fifty-four savings banks in tho city will be the next? « ———__- += —____——. HOW THE CONSUMER CAN HELP. OR their cheer and comfort New Yorkers now have the reported plan of Dr, Moskowitz, newly appointed Commissioner of Markets, to buy 2,000,000 bushels of potatoes which can be sold to housekeepers at cost, also the efforts of the District Attor- ney to arrange for the sale of loose milk by a thousand or more city stores at 10 cents a quart, There is promise of at least a degree of relief in both thest plans. As a means, however, by which consumers themselves can take active and effective part in tho campaign against profiteering and price boosting as they affect the cost of food, a suggestion: Along with food saving, lot more New York housewives adopt the thriftiest known methods of food buying. Despite many earnest movements to make the habit of careful buying the rule, the woman who will not go to market if she can tele- phone, who wants a quarter of a pound of butter delivered, who thinks it beneath her to discuss prices with the grocer, is etill much | with us. | No small part of the “cost of distribution” which 's constantly | invoked to explain high retail food prices is based on the laziness or| indifference of consumers—a laziness and indifference of which mid dleman and retailer take perennial advantage. So far, at least, the consumor can and ¢hould help himeelf. More consistent, determined, widespread thrift in the buying of boosting prac- tices of those who handle and sell it.
