A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. Straus, President American
Society For Thrift ;
Thrift is fundamentally a mat,teri
of mental attitude. |
The saving of money, the elimina-i
tion of idleness, the development of |
efficiency are all matters which pri-l
marily must depend for their success |
on the state of mind of the individual
Before a man practices thrift he must J
have an understanding of all that it/
involves. He must have an ;li)pl'(‘t‘i‘l-;
tion of its benefits as compared wilh!
the sacrifices it sometimes inv Aves,
He must be aware of all that it means
in the development of his carcer. He
must have a correct perspective of
present economics as related to fu
ture benefits. He must know thrift,
Be must desire thrift. e nu
thoroughly sold on the w hole plan of
thrift practice.
Until such a condition has been
reached every effort to compel him
to follow these practices will only
arouse antagonism. Notwithstanding
these facts efforts at various times
have been made under one circum
stance or another to develop practices
of thrift by compulsion. But compul
sory thrift never succeeds. This a
point to be borne in mind by those
who, actuated by good motives muy‘
be endeavoring to compel habits of
economy among those under their‘
guidance. : |
It is true, of course, that an em
ployer can compell those who work
under him to save a certain portion of
their earnings. In some isolated cases
individuals, may through this method,
be started on the right road. But
broadly speaking, such practice will
arouse so much discontentment, re
sentment and prejudice upon the part
of employees that infinitely monle
harm than good wil be done. More
over, the chief benefit of thrift, nam
ely, the development of personal dis
cipline, will have been lost.
Preach thrift, Teach Thrift. Inspire
thrift. Encourage thrift. But do not
try to compel it.
CHAMPION EXPECTS ‘
INDIANAPOLIS WlNi
Race Victory Day Will be 58th; New |
World Record Likely
‘TOLEDO, 0., May 26,—Victory
for Champion spark plugs at the 500
mile automobile classic at Indiana
polis Memorial Day will make their
fifty-eighth in major racing events in
less than four years, it was announced
here yesterday. Champion equippedl
engines have dominated race events
the world over, both on land and wat
er, throughout that period, it was stat
ed. Only two major speed and en
durance events have been won by en
gines using other equipment since
July 1923.
Experts here see a new 500-mile |
world speed record as practicaily cer- |
tain if weather and track cnnditiun:‘%
are reasonably good. They base this
forecast on the high speeds made in
the two earlier 1927 major racing
events, at Culver City, Calif.,, and
Atlantic City, N. J., when the winuing
cars averaged 124.7 and 129.89 miles
an hour respectively. Leon Duray,
in recent practice spins at Indiana
polis, broke all track records there by
turning a lap at 119 miles an hour.
The 1926 Indianapolis race was won
at 94.62 miles an hour. The world
record for 500 miles was made there
ta 1926 by Peter de Paolo—iol.l3
miles an hour.
Since July 1923 motor car ra'ing
has achieved greater prominence than
ever before, if the size of its crowds
and its growing interst among motor
car racing car experts are a ericerion.
Since that time cars equipned with
Champions have established mcre
than 50 world records, until today
they hold every recognrized speedway
mark in the world, regardiess of dis
tance. |
According to R. A. Stramah ,
Champion president, victory for a
car equipped with that company’s
product is virtually assured, since
practically every car is expected to
be so equipped. Cars usuing Cham
pions have won 28 of the 30 mou-y‘
winning prizes in the last three In-|
dianapelis races, he pointed . out.
