They os through * TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) THRIFT . . > in spending "National ^Thrift-Week" which be gins Jau. 17 is doubtless a useful in stitution. But bearing the question. "How of HftC do you bathe every week?" has to do with thrift, I fail to understand. It would seem, at first glance, that real thrift would include economy of soap! The promoters of ''National Thrift Week" are asking a lot of queer ques tions of $00 "prominent citizens, " among them that abtfut bathing, the evident purpose being to show that other things besides, saving money have to do with success irw the world. It is my observation^ that the really thrifty persons are those who make store that , they get .value for their money and do not spend more than their incomes. But too many folk think thi}t thrift is, a synonym for miserliness. There a<e times when it is thrifty to spend, and I think this is one of them. I would rather have my capital in securities and commodities ? which it is, as far as it exists!? than in money at this time. For if there is anything in the New Deal it will mean higher value for commodities and lower val ue for money. LIQUOR . . same old racket One of my New Vork friends oonL plained the other day that the "legal" whiskey now being sold is of no bet tcr quality thhn that which he used to bay from his bootlegger. I asked him why he should be surprised at that. There never was a time when more than a small fraction of the liquor-drinkers knew the difference I between good liquor and bad, any way; and so little pure whiskey ha? been available the past few year* that vary few today know what it is like. Why should the legitimate liquor dealers make, an effort to sell some tiring tfcifc ^rotfWnt bip appreciated, when they can get by with the nam.' old boot-leg stuff f I never heard of anybody engaged in the liquor traffic who had any conscience about such things. It never has been an honest business, and never will be. Pretty soon, I think, we shall sec another popular wave of revulsion against the sale of Hqfaor. And it will come, not from chuirh source* buf from business mwi who find the, morale and the drill of employee* impaired by diink. I think the pub lie, which was so eager to repeal the 18th Amendment, will find that it is up against the name old abusea as before. GAMBLON! . . . thea and sow There ia considerable talk going around that some aort of a Govern ment lottery may be set up, not only to give people a chance to gamble but to provide revenues for the nation. I hear many people denounce such a scheme, 011 the ground of morality. I hear others, among them men of j high standing and character, say they see no great objection to it. It all depends upon the point of view. When I was a boy moralists us<;d to denounce playing marbles "for keeps" as one of the most vicious of sins. I find it difficult to regani either that, or playing card* for reasonable stakes, or taking a chance in a raffle at a churth fair, as evi dence of a degraded and immornl character. I think the great wave of protest which made lotteries illegal in hia country, moro than forty years ago, was due to the belief that they were not conducted honestly. Regardless, however, of the right* and wrongs of the matter, I am of the opinion that, before very long, we shall see some sort of lotteries, either by the government or tinder government supervision, established in this country.
