- IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS -*

Women’s Clubs Interested in Thrift Study Leaders Approve Plan Proposed by Miss Cowan and Urge Practice. By J I'Ll A C. HENDERSON. The Introduction of an outline study of thrift, presented this week by Miss Elizabeth Cowan,, State chairman of thrift for the Indiana Federation 01 Clubs for the approval of the federation council, was most timely and was taken up by the club leaders with an earnestness which is bound to bring results in the coming year. National Thrift Week, Jan. 17 to 23 is again calling to the minds of the people the value of this great forward movement and what it may mean to the people of America if rightly studied and applied. The definition that has been most tersely put is “Thrift is good management of the business of living.” None is too poor to have a part, none so well off that he can be indifferent. Every one who is concerned in the business of living must be interested in this movement. Thrift is a habit of mind and of practice. It is command of opportunity; command of one’s resolution, command of the present and the future. It is getting the most okit of the one's time, 'getting the most out of one’s strength, getting the most out of one’s earnings. V. 8. WOULD MAKE THRIFT HABIT. Our Government expects, through this movement, to establish thrift as a permanent habit of the American people for the lasting prosperity and enduring strength of the Nation. Early in the life of the venture, which followed the World War period when it was demonstrated it was possible for the American people to save, the Government called’ to its service large, loya groups of organized women to aid in the campuign, believingthe influence of women in working out the great economic problems of the day would be invaluable. In this effort it has met with success, for all over the land these groups are studying and disseminating the gospel of thrift not only to this generation, but paving the way for a comprehensive knowledge and practice of the movement in the coming generations which will make for the good of the Nutlon. The children are being taught the fuudamcutal principles of thrift in the schools, in the homes and in the colleges of the country. During the war period thirty million Americans became for the first time financial partners in their Government. This has made for a patriotism never known before, bringing the ideals of our Government to the minds and thoughts of its people in a practical way. EXAMPLES PROVE MERIT OF PLAN. When we find that a boy of 12 in California has earned and saved through war savings stamps $65 toward a coveted college education, when a newsboy is pointed out as one who had never missel a week in purchasing a thrift stamp, when reports show the school children cf Texas own about $12,00,000 worth of thrift and war savings stamps, and the boys and girls of Ohio each bought on an average of $7 worth of these securities in 1918, we know there is something in thrift practically applied that stirs the imagination of our future citizens. It is estimated 1,230,000 people in the United States, whose working days are over, are dependent on charity. Most business men -fail because of a lack of sound economic knowledge which should have been gained in youth. Many Stat-s, seeing the value of the movement and its effect on the coming generation, are enacting laws for the compulsory instruction of thrift in their public schools. It is a great educational movement which has for its object the enlightenment of the public on the question of systematic saving and sane investment, how to save, h„w to spend and how to invest money wisely. Ag a result of the war, Government securities increased from 45,000 investors to almost 30,000 000. The World War, with all of its horrors and sacrifices, has, after all, brought great benefit to millions of lives. It has taught us the high cost of living is not the only thing to be considered tnese days, there also is the high cost of not saving. We of this generation may not be able to make much progress in the movement, but there has been started on its way an educational plan which, if followed, will bring comfort and happiness to many American homes.

MUCH REMAINS TO BE DONE. That there te much yet to be done la made clear by Government returns of 1820, which give the amount spent for luxuries, by the people of the United States, as twenty-two billions Beven hundred million dollars. In 1821 the Government lists tte amount spent on luxuries as follows: $750,000 for face powder, cosmetics and perfumery; $500,000.(KX) for jewelry, $300,000,000 for furs. $2,000,000,000 for automobiles, $250,000,000 for ice cream. $60,000,000 for chewing gum, $350,000,000 for cake and candy, $3,000,000 for luxurious services, $5,000,000,000 for the movies, $2,000,000,000 for soft drinks and a like amount for tobacco and so on through a long list. Is It not time that the young be educated in different channels? They .should be encouraged in the purchase of savings certificates periodically and taught the value of them; how, when and w' re they may be purchased, taught to raetice thrift in time, in and energy; in fact in all things that r: ike up the business of living, the stu of it in its many angles is most interesting and the results are Invaluable. WOULD TEACH THRIET IN SCHOOLS. It would be well if the creed and resolution of the savings division of the United States Treasury could be made a part of the curriculum of the schools of our country. It follows: I believe in the United States of America. My opportunity end hope depend upon her future. I believe that her stability and prog ress rest upon the industry and thrift of her people. Therefore I will work hard and livt simply. I will Epend less than I earn. I will use my earnings with care. I will save consistently. I wl 1 invest thoughtfully. To Increase the financial strength of my country and myself. I will buy Government securities. I will hol’d above barter the obligations my country thus incurs. I will do these things to insure the greatness of Americ s future. PARTIES AND MEETINGS. The Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Plumbers’ Union No. 73 and Steamfitters No. 410, will give a card party in Saks Hall Saturday evening.

Mrs. Charles Fletcher, who is a central figure in the series of gayeties of the season, also is engaged actively in making a huge success of the undertaking.

HOLD WIFE OF EX-PRESIDENT a IS OVERLOOKED Recognition of Loyalty Is Urged in Wilson Foundation. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia PuMic Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. —Some folk think the Woodrow Wilson foundation which is raising Its *1,000,000 endowment to further the cause of world peace ought to include Mrs. Woodrow Wilson In some way. Certainly no woman has won greater admiration than Mrs. Wilson here In the National Capital where her hourly devotion to the ex-President has been closely noted. She never leaves him one second and sees absolutely no one but members of the family or his friends. She has no interests or diversions of her own. Every moment Is devoted to the ex-President. and of course, no matter how much her respect, admiration and affection may bo involved, it has not nil been rosy. But no one who wnicDed Mrs. Wilson in the bey-day of America’s triumph in Paris is surprised by her present conduct. Even though she had every opportunity to make a great social triumph, with invitations galore from such personage presidents, Mr. Wilson never accepted as the Queen of Roumania, premiers an* anything on her own. nor was there any entertaining to speak of. At the request of President and Mrs Wilson all functions for them were cut down to the minimum. So closely did Mrs. Wilson feel bound to the Lest interests of the President, that no one could get her to make any sort of an afternoon or morning engagement when she knew the President would be busy at the conference. Visiting a few American relief organizations and hospitals and n few shopping expeditions with Miss Benham wore the only things Mrs. Wilson did. And even then she slipped away only for an hour or two when she knew the President could not possibly want her. For that reason she was always free to go with him, or call for him at the Qua! d’Orsay (French foreign office), or Hotel Crillon (American peace headquarters), where most of the President’s conferences were held. Sometimes they motof“d back and forth, but almost any day would see them walking briskly down the Champs Elysees, followed by a couple of the United States Secret Service men, who are now serving President Harding. Therefore, in view of her self abnegation during the peace conference, when she had the world at her feet, no one need be astonished at her present devo-j tlon and tender eare.—Copyright, 1922, j by Public Ledger Company.

St. Louis Woman Honored at Home I RT. Loris. Jan. .I— -Mrs. Lon O. Hocker of 39 Portland Place, St Louis, i* the first woman in this country to be officially decorated by her city for civic j benefit* she has rendered. Mrs Hocker i was the recipient recently of a beautiful gold medal from St. Louis city authorities in appreciation of work she bas done in starting baby clinics In congested i sections, putting scales in the schools I to determine children’s weight ar.d other • civic measures she has undertaken. Interest. is added by the fact that Mrs.' Hocker has three sturdy sons of her own and is the wife of one of th? most successful attorneys in St. Louis. She is only in her early thirties. She is a college graduate and the ordinary social glitter does not attract 1 her, although soe is a favorite socially. She has brilliant artistic talent and is active iu the work of the St. Louis Art League, but her chief interest is in the | work of the baby clinics. Several years ! ago when St. Louis had no clinics she collected money from rich friends and started the work in a small way. It has grown now to stupendous size, ami the city and Red Cross have taken over the j clinics and more are being proposed. As Ia result of this St. Louis boasts the best baby welfare work and record in the country Mrs. nocker also collected money and started the work In the public schools in finding out who the undernourished children were and why. Asa result community kitchens have been established in many school districts. Since receiving her medal Mrs. Hocker has been guest of honor of many men's , organizations in St, Louis. Shows How to Dress Up Homes CHICAGO, Jan. 'l.—Just how a borne ought to be dressed to be attractive, comfortable and economical will be demonstrated by Ross Crane, head of the ex- ! tension department of the Art Institute, at the Better Homes Institute, which ; will be held here for four weeks, beginI ning tomorrow. The institute will be held successively at various high schols for the benefit of residents in the various neighnorhoods. Mr. Crane’s lectures win b e a big feature of the public exhibits. He paints pictures, with brush and palette, but with furniture. His methodis this: He has a portable room, which he sets up empty on the stage, and a setting of furniture and paintings, which he has in the wings. He starts with a mantel, n piano and n picture from the art gallery to establish the color scheme. Then he adds furniture, explaining every move ns ho go?s—the why of the placing of each Individual article. When ail is finished a young woman is called to the piano, and she plays some “homey” music. The lights are dimmed. The effect is beautiful and gives many new ideas to tho people in the audience. Another phase of these demonstrations is shown when Mr. Crane takes au overdressed room and makes it attractive by removing the excess of furnishings. HAMBURG STEAK. One pound round steak; two table spoonfuls of grated onion; three-fourths teaspoonful of salt; one-eighth tcaspoouful of pepper; white of one egg. Remove superfluous fat uud string portions of beef; pass meat through meat chopper. Add remaining ingredients; the egg should be slightly beaten and added Inst; it holds the meat together while cooking. Wit h the bands, shape the meat in uniform size flat cakes. Be sure the cakes are as thick on the edges as in the center. Saute in hissing hut iron skillet well greased with some of the fat tried out or in hot salt pork fat. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Serve wirh brown ot tomato sauce, and place half of a broiled tomato on each cake. NEW JERSEY’ BAKED BEANS.

When they are ready for baking, fill a shallow basin | with them; place the pork in the .center! with scored rind exposed, with one or J two tablespoonfuls of molasses, some ; white pepper, and one tablespoonful or butter in small bits sprinkled all over the beans; bake, covered about two hours. Enough of the water In which they are boiled should be poured in to make them soft, and about an hour before they are done one cupful of sweet cream, heated, with.* pinch of soda, may be poured in upon the beans, loosening them with a fork that the cream may soak in.

Vasa Prihoda, tbo slim, boyish, Bohemian violinist, presented one of the most finished' artists' programs of the season at Caleb Milts Hall last evening, under the auspicewff the Indianapolis Federa-t tion of Public School Teachers. The amazing technique of the young artist, combined with his rare interpretive ability, made his numbers a delight to the audience.
