Saving Now. The greatest foe of thrift is procrastination. Many a man postpones opening a savings ac

count until next week, but next week always remains a vntnip date in the far future. To be-

AimMMKJ mm w w come thrifty, start to save today.

: Almost every financial writer asserts that

when the war clouds are supplanted by the sun

shine of peace, Americans will have great op

portunities to invest their savings.

Granted that this is a fact, why not begin laying aside a few dollars each week for the day

when a small investment will bring a good re

turn. In the lean years, it is good policy to save

for the fat years. You cannot share in the fat

ness of the fat year unless you have the money

saved in the lean year to make the investment Save now, and make the investment later. Blaming the Minor.

A local tobacco dealer calls attention to the

deceit practiced by minors to obtain cigarets.

He asserts that he cannot tell the difference between a 19-year-old boy and one who has attained majority. When a 19-year-old lad, with the appearance of a man of twenty-one, asks for cigarets and insists that he has attained legal ge, the tobacco dealer is at a disadvantage. He has no ready means of ascertaining the correct age of the patron. The tobacco dealer asserts that the minor and not the dealer ought to be fined if an illegal sale is made. There is some truth in the argument. The imposition of a stiff fine on some minors might cure them of telling lies about their age. Intelligent co-operation between parents and dealers will do much to remedy the cigaret evil. Interest in Sports. That sports have taken a firm hold on the citizens of Richmond is evidenced by the large crowds that attend sport exhibitions of all kinds.

Indoor sports have become exceedingly popular,

while in summer baseball, tennis and other forms

of recreation enlist the interest of hundreds. In

telligent pursuit of some sport in which you are

interested is a good preventive against illness

and also precludes visits from a doctor. So long

as sports do not become the main issue of life,

Visit the Art Gallery. The only way to learn to appreciate art is

to see good art on display. A number of valuable pictures by good artists are owned in Richmond.

They, have been loaned for the exhibit now on

display in the public art gallery.

Many , people in Richmond prate about this

being an "art center." It is afe to say that some

of them have never been inside the art gallery;

some of them have never seen a good exhibit

here; somef them do not know that a number

of good artists make Richmond their home.

The Worm Turns.

SWEDEN RETALIATES BY HOLDING UP BRITISH MAIL. This headline tells its own story. Scandinavian mail has been held up by British admiralty orders. Sweden, enraged at the latest violation of international law, gives John Bull a taste of his own medicine. Every bag of mail from Great Britain to Russia now goes through the hands of a Swedish censor. Pretty bitter medicine for John Bull, but he deserves a severe dose. While the postal authorities of the two countries are delaying the mail, their diplomats ; are waging a bitter war as to the justice of their respective claims. : The United States might do well to hold up mail destined for England, search its contents thoroughly, delay its transmission, and let John Bull know that Uncle Sam knows what the word retaliation means.

For the Public Good.

One may disclaim ultimate responsibility for his deeds, but the effect of what a man does reacts irrevocably on the whole community. If a man cheats, his wickedness is felt by the victim, the deceit is published, the whole city is blackeyed. Evil is accumulative. The wickedness of one man .multiplied by the evil deeds of one hundred men in the same community reacts on the whole city, the whole state and the whole nation. It is impossible to trace in all its ramifications the effect of one evil deed, but it is fact that hundreds are directly or indirectly affected by the transgression. On the other hand, every good deed has a

reward as general as is the influence of an evil one. Let one man do an unselfish act for the welfare of the city, and every citizen is benefited either in a monetary way or in a spiritual sense. The discussion of thousands of persons concerning one good deed that has been performed sets afoot thousands of good thoughts, good words, and ultimately good deeds. Goodness is contagious. If the majority of a city is law abiding and well meaning, the minority unconsciously absorbs some of the spirit.

ernments call "experts of death" into council, as of old they consulted the professors of tortue. " ' s From such a hideous panorama you recoiled and turned your face to the wall, but after sleepless nights and days of agonizing; pain you came forth more serene, for the war of the

Allied Microbes and the valiant Phagocytes was over and every microbe

had been driven from the country. So you craved cool orange-juice and

lime's to heal up the ravages of an internecine war, and as you sat up your mind called for food Happily your eye fell upon the gentle French

writer, Francois Coppe, and you drank In his pure ' and entrancing narrative and his wonderful stories.

Coppe is not a literary high-priest who looks with disdain upon the human

herd. He Is the poet of the humble;

he paints with sincere emotion his profound sympathy for the sorrows, the miseries, and the sacrifices of the meek. He treats of simple existences,

lot unknown unfortunates, and of sac-

rifices which the daily papers do not

record. The strings of his Instrument vibrate readily to what Is beau

tiful and unselfish and delicate In

human feeling.

See how feelingly Coppe tells us of the Gerard family, a widowed mother

and two daughters: "Ah, poor women

The decay of this worthy family was

lamentable; but, in spite of all, they endured their fate with resignation. Yes! the economy, the degrading drudgery, the old mended gowns they accepted all this without a murmur. A noble sentiment sustained and gave them courage. All three the old mother in a linen cap doing the cooking and the washing, the elder sister giving music lessons at forty sous, and the little one working in pastels were vaguely conscious of representing something very humble, but sacred and noble a family without a blemish on their name. They

felt that they moved in an atmosphere of esteem and respect Their apartment with its stained woodwork. Its torn wall-paper, but where they were all united in work and drawn closer and closer to each other In love had

still the sweetness of home; and upon their ragged mourning, their dilapidated furniture, the meager meat soup at night, the pure light of honor gleamed and watched over them." Of the war he says: "Then humanity, after so many centuries, had reached only this pointhatred, absurd war, fratricidal murder! Progress? Civilization? Mere words! No rest, no peaceful repose, either in fraternity or love! The primitive brute always reappears, the right of the stronger to hold in its clutches the pale cadaver of justice! What is the use of so many religions, philosophies, all the noble dreams, all the grand impulses of the thought toward the ideal and good? Is the horrible doctrine of the pessimists true then? Are wi then only animals eternally condemned to kill each other in order to live? If that is so, one might as well renounce life and give up the ghost!"

So, reading Coppe's "Romance of Youth," his "Restitution" and "The Cure for Discontent," you marvel at the coarse prejudice in America against the "French novel," and you recall a blatant revivalist who canted that if a youig man should ever give his daughter a "French novel," he would hunt him up and shoot him as he would a viper And you recall that the profligate magazines of the day found their way into this man's house

without objection and the presentrday

English novel, loaded with coarseness and materialism, rested safely on his

book-shelf.

You do not wonder that the fine

discriminating mind of James Russell

Lowell protested that "we Americans

are worth nothing except so far as

we have disinfected ourselves of Anglicism." Only those readers who

have studied Arnold Bennett in his

Book of Carlotta" and his "Old

Wives Tales," will understand the brutal coarseness and deadly materialism of modern British fiction. Paul

Driesser, an American writer thor

oughly saturated with Anglicism, gives us "The Financier," "The Titan" and

Sister Carrie," with not a single

honest man or one decent, clean

woman in all his pages. Compared with this deadly Upas tree of English

fiction, the French novel Is as pure

as mountain streams flowing from snow-capped peaks. " The French

novelist gives us his poor people' en

dowed with clean hearts and a beau

tiful dignity. The anglicized poor are

degraded, abhorrent, wicked and sodden in their vices.

But France, now suffering upon the

red fields of expiation, will yet arise and through her literature hold up the

purest ideals of the world. When she

throws off the heavy hand of British

power and becomes her true self

again she will rise to glory.

Let us on our journey light our

camp-fire here by this little stream. Night's shadows are falling .and the long-wooed Sleep, parting from his twin-brother. Death, has come to us

at last. And as we wrap the mantle of rest about us and lie down before the ruddy fire, we see the forms of old friends hovering in the shadows. There , is Bret Harte with "Uncle Jimmy and Uncle Billy,' and "The Bell Ringers of Angells." Here is

Mark Twain with "Prince and Pauper'

and ."Col. Mulberry Sellers." And

here comes Owen WIster ' and "The Virginian," a real-for-sure man. : What do these masters - teach us? Sentlmt t. Opinions divide -men but sentiment unites, and some day, when we have thoroughly learned the lesson

that, a touch of nature makes the

whole world kin. we may have for-

Here's How Edgar Iliffl

(Continued From Page One.)

The "Scavenger's Daughter" was; the greatest of all. It was Invented in England and duplicates shipped all over the world. Trade reviews of that day might read, "Foreign- demand for racks, wheels, thumbscrews, iron boots and collars and various . torturing-machines continues healthy, I but extraordinary calls are made for I Sir John . Buckstone's "The Scavenger's daughter." Repeated calls come i from the Puritan government in our American colinles for instruments especially designed to torture Catholics, Jews, Quakers and Atheists." Such wsb the economic condition. I To oppose the practice of torture was to hurt business. To stop it would be to throw out of employment thousands of professors of the art 'of torturing and thousands of office holders in the vast judicial and clerical system of

the day. And as you lay and wondered how much of the pain of torture these victims of old could stand you concluded that there Is one thing unchangeable in this life, and that is nature's law, and -that at a certain point of pain that law Intervenes and sets the limit by ' cerebral unconsciousness, which is a land of perfect peace. And then you thought of the slowly developing Intellect of man, how it groped through the centuries of darkness and superstition, and ; asked itself here and there if there could not be ways and means discovered to lessen human pain instead of Increasing it. And the nineteenth century came with its discoveries In anesthetics which made it the most

glorious of all the ages of earth. Then the expanding brain of man turned its attention to relieving human suffering here and now and to the building up of great enterprises that would make life worth living. With the rapid spread of . human ideas there came great material prosperity through the practical workings of the only real science the world had ever known. Nations became strong, and then grew jealous and in the opening of this twentieth century a world conflict opened. Then we saw that the brain of man had not only discovered ways of peace and painlessness, it had not only throttled disease and strangled pain, but it had been inventing, instruments of death and destruction, too. There came undersea creatures that could creep unseen

upon human-laden ships and in the twinkling of an eye send thousands to the bottom; there came strange air-crafts which could drop deadly bombs upon peaceful villages and kill women and children as innocent of wrongdoing as the sheep in the fields; gasses were evolved by which whole regiments of soldiers could be suffocated; guns were invented whose one shot equalled the work of the Lisbon earthquake. The cities were filled with thousands of youths who would never see the light of day again because of stricken blindness; the paralyzed, the insane, the deaf and dumb were herded in the heart of civilization all of these victims of a science whose power was first turned to human pain but now used to increase that agony. As of old, the inventor who made the most perfect torturing machine was given the honor and the profit, so today the man whose gun kills and maims the fastest is accorded fame and fortune. And gov-
