Basil P. Blackett Tells How Great
Economy Campaign Has Put
the Victory Loan Above Billion
.Sterling—Savings Increasing.
By BASIL P. BLACKETT, C. 8,,
Of the British Treasury.
Mr. Blackett, as a special represen
tative of the British Treasury, has
been stationed in the United States
Jor some months. He had an active
part in launching the War Savings
eampaign in England twe years ago,
end has taken great interest in the
rapid development of the Americon
thrift movement. :
English war savings assoclations
are a powerful factor in drawing into
the treasury the great stream of in
dlvidval savings needed to finance the
war. These 40,000 clubs for nationa!
saving, with 4,000,000 members, are
not only contributing many millions
to pay the cost of the war, but they
are doing an even greater service by
spreading the gospel of thrift to every
community in England.
The Victory Loan of 1917—the
1,000,000,000 pounds sterling loan—
'was made possible only by the vigor
ous efforts of this great army of vol
unteers, going up and down the high
ways and byways of England preach
ing the necessity of saving for the
nation.
Just before it opened the Chancellor
of the xchequer called together in
London a great meeting of war sav
ings workers from all over the country
and appealed to them to help him. It
was at this mecting that the move
ment “found itself,” and the war sav-

Within ten minutes after an appfl-'
leation of Denderine you can not find
a single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be
after a few weeks' use, when you see
weéw halr, fine and downy at first—
;es, but really new halr—growing all
{over the scalp,
A little Danderine limmediately
douhles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
ithrough your hadr, taking one small
’fsu‘and at a time. The effect is amaz
‘ng—your hair will be light, fluffy
ard wevy, and have an appearance
»f abundance; an incomparable lus
ter, softness and luxuriance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine for a few cents at any
drug store or toilet counter, and|
prove that your hair s as pretty
and soft as any—that it has been
oglected or Injured by careless
“reatmert—that’s all—you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it if
you will just try a little Danderine.—

Ings associations have since been a
great force in our war finance.
Loan Drives Stimulate Savings.
English War Savings Certificate
sales are greatly stimulated during
the war loan drives. In the appeals
for new funds for the war chest we
seek to enlist the savings of every cit
izen, even down to the pennies. War
Bonds and War Savings Certificates
all are grist to the Treasury mill and
the one-pound subscription from the
schoolboy or schoolgirl to be paid for,
perhaps, a penny or sixpence at a
time, is just as welcome as the big
check of the banker.
In the first ten months of the war
savings movément the Treasury re
celved 32,500,000 pounds sterling
($158,000,000) from the sale of our
One-pound certificates. In the first
three months of 1917, under the stim
ulus of the Victory Losn, we doubled
this amount. In one month we sold
as many certificates as during the
whele five months immediately pre
ceding. I cite these figures as an in
dication of what the American War
Savings Societies may hope to do
during the Third Liberty Loan.
More than 280,000,000 pounds sterl
ing ($1,400,000,000) of small savings
has been ralsed in the English thrift
campalgn. Of this amount, $1,125,-
000,000, or 85 per cent, has been raised
gince the war savings movement
started. Receipts from the sale of the
one-pound certificates are now above
$650,000,000, while the flve-pouna
bonds have brought in the other $750,-
000,000, These five-pound bonds are
best compared with the SSO Liberty
Bonds, while our one-pound War Sav
ings Certificates are similar to the
United States $6 War Savings
Stamps,
In England we had to plow new
flelds to sow the seeds of the gospel
of saving as a war necessity. In 1914

ATTENTION DEALERS!
Since the advent of the new Four-Passenger Dispatch Model we have had dealers
write us for our agency proposition, stating they would be glad to represent the
Chandler, even if the Dispatch was the only model made. Never before have we seen
a car so captivate popular admiration and approval. The Dispatch Model has met with
instant favor everywhere it has been seen and is selling itself.
It is of a striking design, with high hood and radiator and low-cut body. This at
tractive new Chandler model at a glance gives the true impression of power, speed and
all-round efficiency of performance. It has very liberal seating capacity for four passen
gers, rides wonderfully and is mounted on the regular Chandler chassis, except that 32-
inch wheels and a gear ratio of 3.78-1 are used. The body, hood and radiator are painted
in a beautiful electric blue, highly finished. Running gear and fenders are black.
The addition of this new model completes the already attractive group of Chandler
body types—six designs of open and closed or convertible cars that incorporate, as a
keynote of their construction, most careful thought for the owners' thorough comfort’
and convenience in the details of appointment and equipment.
We have a few counties left in Georgia and Florida that have not been contracted
for, and it is valuable territory. It is to your interest to get in communication with us
at once. If you can not visit us at the present wire or write. :

HMEARST’S SUNDAY AWERTCEN . 'YWI Vi Wy e.. SUNDEY, MERCH 81, 1918,
thrift was in Engiand scarcely dise
tinguished from meanness and counte
ed as a vice. “Business as usual”
proved the most popular, as It was
the first catch-phrase of the war. No
belief was more universally held or
more unreservedly acted upon than
that “spending is good for traQe.”
_ But we were faced by a shortage of
labor and materials—a shortage of
ships and men to build ships—a
shortage of equipment at the doocks
and of lahor at the docks—a shortage
of railway cars and of the men to
drive the engines—a shortag of farm
labor and coal and miner B—a short
age of many materials required from
abroad.
The workers of the Natlonal War
Savings Committee have gone up and
down the country pointing to this
shortage and explaining its cause.
They have enforced the lesson of pa
triotic abstention from self-indulgence
which employs labor and material
when labor and material are short for
war needs, They have afforded facii
ities for co-operative saving and or
ganized local effort so that every man,
woman and child whether his or her
income were small or large, could by
increased production and reduced
consumption help the national cause.
Gospel of Goods and Services.
The whole campaign of the Nation
al War Savings Committee can be
summed up in the statement that it
has preached by all means in its pow
er the gospel of goods and services. It
has adopted all sorts of expedients to
bring home to the people the argu
ment that the war must be paid for
out of new savings; that every cent of
private expenditure not really neces
sary for health and efficlency involves
a diminution of the goods and serv
ices available for winning the war,
The problem for those who are

closely associated with the war sav

its ineception. The subject is very
near my heart, and I belleve it to be
of exceptional importance: not only
for the winning of the war, but also
for the welfare of the world after the
war, when it is the comfort and hope
of mankind that a new and better
world can bg built up, hallowed by
the sacrifice of life and well-being

farms. But the indications this
year are overwhelmingly in the
boys’ favor. The most progres
sive of farm States have asked
for them in large numbers. In
dlana farmers last year used boy
labor to great effect. HEven be
fore the campaign opened this
year they had enrolled several
thousand for work this spring and
summer. Massachusetts and oth
er States are so sure of the suc
cess of boy farmers that they
have appropriated sums to give
the boys’ preliminary training to
{mprove their work. Retired
farmers, or farmers now living in
cities, are being asked to take up
work again, especlally to instruct
the boys.
Canadian farmers are enthusi
