? JSXTRAVAGANC Atta Boy! Put Him Out of the Gamo FOREIGN BORN ARE NOW TAUGHT THRIFT Couf^o In Amerionization Is Enlarged So as to Include Special Lossion on Saving Habit Thrift is now one of the subjects being taught to thousands of foreign born workers who are attending Americanization classes throughout the United States in factories, shops, churches and night schools. ' Aa a majority of the attendants at these classes speak but little or no English, the study of language consti tutes one of the principal subjects taught, a half hour drill being held at each session. The method was de vised for the National Y. M. C. A. and is published by that organization. The lessons are short, consisting of about twenty simple sentences on everyday matters, and a clans is taught by re peating one sentence at a time after the teacher, who Illustrates lt with motions and objects "I look at my watch," says the teacher, who takes out his own watch The class repeats this In chorus, then Individually. The next sentence deals with numbers and the telling of time. All sentences are link ed together, and each teaches at least one new word with connectives. At the end of the lesson lt is shown to the class in printed form on a chart. At the request of the Treasury De partment, a special thrift lesson deal ing with War Savings Stamps has been written and is now in the hands of American secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. all over the country. This lesson ls an excellent Illustration of the method by which thousands of foreign-born workers are now learning English, and lt ls as follows: Has-John has some money Puts-'He puts lt in a stocking. ' Says-Jim say?: "It is not safe" Answers-John answers: "No? I will see" Looks-He looki for his money. Is 8tolen-The money is stolen. Saves-John saves more money. Asks-He asks: "How can I keep my moneyV Says-Jim says: "See this, John." Shows-Jim shows him a book of War Savings- Stamps. Says-John says: "Where did you get it?" Buys-John buys some War Sav ings Stamps. Puts-He puts them in a book. Says-^ohn says: "This is safe and good." Buys-John buys more stamps. Says-He says: "America is setfe .nd so is my money." THE LUCKY THREE Only throe men out of every hun dred have a savings account at the age of forty-five, ninety-seven per cent of them losing their entire savings la some reverse. Aro you taking a ehance, thirty three to one, on being one of those ninety-seven? Or are yon making sure that you will answer "present" when the roll of three is called? Ita just as easy to be in this latter class as in the first-If you think. Ninety seven men ont of every hundred don't tMak, saving spasmodically, If they save at all, and invosting in securities of which they do not know the value. Government securities are absolute ly safe, pay a high rate of interest and ar? easily obtainable in small de j nominations.

THRIFT APPEAL Corporations Mail War Savings Stamp Notlee When Sending Out Dividends. Not only is thrift becoming a part of the general education of the pecpla of small and moderate means who are being taught and encouraged to culti I vate habits of wise saving and sensi ble spending; efforts are being mado to attract to the thrift campaign ?he stockholders of practically every large corporation in the United State3. Already twenty-six of the largcat corporations in the country have agreed to mail with notices of divi dend payments to stockholders In serts calling attention to the desira bility of investing their Btock earn ings in War Savings Stamps. These j corporations which have an exceeding j ly wide distribution of stock are I among the largest dividend paying I corporations in the United States. Some ot them already are malling thrift inserts to their stockholders, j and others have agreed to do so upon I the next dividend date. The inserts which stockholders receive along with their dividend notices are as follows: "Doublc? your resources by invest ing savings regularly. "Did you ever stop to consider how easily and rapidly you can accumu late a considerable sum by investing ; small amounts regularly at compound j interest? "You can begin at once by Invest ; ing all or part of your savings in War Savings Stamps of the 1919 iBBue i which you can buy in any amount up j to $1,000. They bear four per cen* ! interest, compounded quarterly. "If you should have an unexpected call for ready cash before your stamps mature, January 1, 1924. you can re : deem all or any number of them at any time, for the full purchase price, plus interest.
