The plan of the Thrift war stamps to give the children and those who can spare only small amounts of money opportunity to help the gov- ernment in its prosecution of the war is one which will be effective for good in more ways than through the money which will be thus provided to the nation. The establishment of the habit of thrift in a small way, and thrift means the conservation of lit- tle things, the extension of a feeling of personal financial interest in the war by making .it possible for many to help though not able to buy Lib- erty bonds, and the stimulation of patriotism in the children who are growing into citizenship, all will con- tribute to the strength of the na- tion in its present crisis. ; We have always regarded our small coins in America as bits to be given to children to be invested in trifles.

In Turkey metal money has gone out of exist- ence, it is said, its place having been taken by reinforced stamps issued by the government. In France, except in Paris, there is the same general situation, no money of small denomi- nation. There seems to be but one explana- tion of the dearth of small coins, a disposition to hoard small amounts "because conditions are such as to make the saving of large sums im- possible." It is one of the mysterious The Winnetka branch of the Infant Welfare society will distribute Christ- mas toys to the poor children at the Chicago Commons.
