Owing to the usual amplifications of the pictorial portions of his enter- Burton Holmes tainments, for his series in Chicago, to commence February 18 and 19, Mr. ~ Holmes has re-christened his Travel- ogues, "Personal Presentations of Photo-Stories of Travel" and this comprehensive title defines the torial interest which Mr. Holmes promises to maintain throughout his entire course of five lectures. Last summer Mr. Holmes visited, for the first time, Constantinople and Jerusalem, both of these cities Mr. Holmes found filled with absorbing human interest, and both also were wonderfully rich in subjects for his motion pictures and "still" colored views. Many years ago Mr. Holmes © visited what may be described as the Mohammedan Mediterranean. This season he returned from Egypt, Tun- isia, and Algeria, with a series o wonderfully interesting, new and up- to-date pictures with which he will illustrate his third photo-story, to be entitled, "The Garden of Allah." His fourth topic, "Spanish Cities," will also follow the foot-steps oi the; ~ Moor, and his fifth, "Venice and the Italian Lakes," will present another delightful subject, in marked con- trasts to the others, yet closely re- sembling in human interest, the other lands pictured by him in word and photograph. Mr. Holmes will appear in Or-! chestra Hall on five consecutive Friday evenings and Saturday after- noons, commencing February 18 and 19. NOTICE Have your piano and player tuned. Now is the time.

LTG12-tfc THRIFT METERS FOR SCHOOL INTRODUCED Treasury Plan Stimulates Helpful Rivalry; Ask Special Instruc- tions In Thrift. Thrift meters are being introduced into all the schools of the Seventh Federal Reserve district, comprising the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, by the Sav- ings division of the U. S. Treasury department. According to reports received by the Chicago office at 105 West Monroe street, the schools that have already received them show a marked increase in saving. Under the new Treasury plan each teacher divides the class or room in- to two teams, the girls taking the name of Miss Columbias team, the boys that of Uncle Sam's team. Their progress is recorded weekly on the Thrift meter, which registers up to $30 for each team. The goal for each pupil usually is one or more Thrift stamps a week. Superintendents and principals have instructed teachers to enter in- to the spirit of thrift instruction and push it in a manner that will pro- duce results. They want this year to show marked advancement in es- tablishing among school children habits of thrift in time, money and materials. The helpful rivalry stim- ulated by the Thrift meters is ex- pected to contribute largely to the success of the movement. Among the first reports of "actual results" is that of a Chicago high school for the first fifteen days of January. The pupils saved and in- vested in Thrift Government Saving stamps a total of $1,79425 as against $1,013 for all of last year. A measure of this success is attributed in the new method of thrift instruc- tion adopted by the Treasury depart- ment this year. It is estimated in a booklet entitled, "Teaching Children How to Save." Superintendent of Schools Mortenson in distributing the booklets to the teaching force of Chicago, said: "It deals with the subject in a manner that indicates it is sound fi- nancially and correct pedagogically." In schools where the Treasury's plan was introduced alongside of ex- isting savings plans ,all savings ac- tivities benefited by the additional impetus. The Treasury department has thrown the weight of its influ- ence into the movement for teach- ing thrift in the schools and is giv- ing 'this educational activity its con- stant support on a nation-wide scale.

During the war patriotism provided a vital incentive to save; that ideal is now replaced by the child's desire to save for a "Success Fund" which he may accumulate by the time he wants to go to college, go into business, etc. HAVE YOU SEEN "PEP"? ~ HE STRAYED AWAY AGAIN Have you seen "Pep"?
