Feminine Army Start* Three Months’ Tost to Pave Way for Safe Investment. The savings division of the treasury department is depending on the women of the nation not only to help bring down the high cost of living, but to establish the permanent practice of saving money and material, and finally the Investing of these savings In safe securities, such*as War Savings stamps and SIOO and sf,ooo Treasury Savings certificates. Under the signature of William Mather Lewis, director of the savings division, a letter has been sent to the presiding officers of all the principal women’s organizations of the country. The general plan for the work of the women in 1920 has been worked out In a national way by Mrs. Grace Or Bartlet t, vice director In charge of women's organizations. Supplementing the letters sent out by her and Director Lewis, a similar letter has been sent to all the women’s organizations in the live states of the Seventh district that have no national thrift chairmen. In his letter Director Lewis said in part: “The Influence of women in working out the great economic problems is invaluable. It is in the power of' women .to regulate the use and control the price of the necessities of life.' They are the buyers. They must also be the savers. When this power Is applied in a concentrated way, women will be one of the greatest factors In solving the present probleth of the high cost of living and in establishing the permanent practice of saving money and material. The savings division called Into conference the national thrift chairmen of the following women’s organizations: Association of Collegiate Alumnae, Daughters of the American Revolution, General Federation of Women’s Clubs, National Catholic War council, National Congress of Mothers and ParentTeachers’ associations, National Council of Jewish Women, National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs. National League for Women’s Service; Women’s departjnent. National Civic Federation, Young Women’s Christian association. “It was agreed that these organizations should be asked to make a test among their membership of the wisdom with which money is spent. This test was to be started January 1 and continued as an experiment through February and March. The plan is as follows: “January—To. keep accounts. Each individual will be asked to keep an account of her dally expenses, grouping them under such items as rent, food, clothing, household service, amuse-

Each dual will analyze . the January expenses and make an effort through information gained In January to save a certain amount through conservation without hardship. “March—To invest. Each Individual will make a calculation of how much was saved on living expenses In Febtuary over an equal number* of days in January. In this month an effort will be made to encourage members of these organizations to Invest their savings in government securities.” •

The 25-cent Thrift stamp also is on the market and 1$ used as formerly to evidence payments on account of War Savings stamps and certificates. The 1920 War Savings stamp in size approximates the larger stamp used In 1918. It will have a maturity value of $5 January 1, 1925.. War Savings stamps of the sesles of 1918 and 1919 shall not be affixed to War Savings certificates of the series of 1920 and War Savings stamps of the series of 1920 shall not be affixed to War Savings certificates of 1918 or 1919. War Savings stamps of one series affixed to War Savings certificates of another series will not add to the value thereof. Thrift stamps, as such, are not directly redeemable in cash, but each Thrift card will, as usual, have spaces for 16 Thrift stamps.
