SMALL FIRE â€"The New Trier Township High school Senior play, an annual event of the Commencement season at the secondary school, will be staged in March this year and will be in the nature of a benefit for the high school Dramatic club:--------------â€"-------------- 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 Tecorded #eekly on the Thrift meter, which registers up to $30 for each team, The fcoal for each pupil usually is one or more Thrift stamps a week. Superintendents an«lâ€"principalis have instructed teachers to enter in- to the spirit of thrift instruction and push itâ€"in a matmerâ€"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 $1,794.25 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 ^ra^-throwfl^thc"weight-of its influ- ence into the movement for teach- ing thrift in the schools and is giv- ing thi§ educational activity its con- stant support on a nation-wide scale. The Treasury department is en- deavoring to approach the savings question from the child's point of view. During the^war -patriotisnr provided a vital incentive to save; that ideal is now replaced- by the child's desire to save f6r a "Success Fund" which he may accumulate by the time he wants to go to college, go into business, etc. LAUNCH WAR AGAINST AUTOMOBILE MISHAPS Points Out Alarming Number Killed Each Year by Automobiles; Of- fers Important Suggestions. In a statement offering suggestions for traffic improvements, the Census bureau point^out that 3,808 persons were killed in automobile accidents, or died as a result of injuries there- from, during 1919. The automobile accident death rate for the year was 14.1 out of every 100,000 population, an increase over every year since 1915, when the death rate was 8.0. Youngstown, O., heads the list of 66 cities in the auto death rate with 28.5 per 100,000, Richmond, Va., had the lowest rate with 5.9. New York had the largest number of deaths with 780, an increase of 89 over the previous year and more than double the number in 1915. Chicago's death rate was 12.3, the total number be- ing 328. an increase of 37 over 1919. "Each year it becomes more, and more dangerous for a^person to walk the streets," the Census' bureau's statement said. "The reason usually given, and probably the correct one,- is that the number of automobiles in use is constantly increasing. How then shall this ever-lasting danger be lessened? The obvious remedy is to improve constantly the traffic regulations to keep pace with the ever-increasing number ofâ€"automo- biles. "This call for better and better traffic regulation is not a fanciful one. Every one is familiar with the necessity for slow and orderly prog- ress when a crowd emerges from a circus tent, and, similarly, automo- bile traffic must be slowed^iown and controlled until it becomes safe. The 1919 rates for Cleveland, Kansas City, Mo., and San Antonio, all much lower than for 1918, furnish a ray of hope that we are finally waking up." Suggestions made by the bureau for traffic improvement follow: Erection at street crossings of curbed safety islands, which, at the most dangerous spots, should be very close together. Construction of additional cross- ings in the middle of blocks, where automobiles can approach ffonFonly two directions. Demonstration of great skill in driving each maclunjeJ_be^re_grJanfc?- mira- dfiveTs license foFlhat ma- chine. Reduction of the speed limit, as- pecially at crossings. Fine, revocation of license and im- prisonment each to have its plans as an actual penalty. I lin employe having a wife and [children, brought out the followi I points of interest. 1. There has been a substantial decrease in the cost of food. 2. There has been a remarkable decrease in the cost of clothing, es- pecially due to prevailing sales. 3. Fuel shows a substantial in- crease over January. 1920, 4. Rents, mostly raised last spring or since, show a very large increase over 1920. In the opinion of Franklin statis- ticians, it is these last two items of fuel and shelter that have tended to keep living costs up, while the first two items are substantially decreas-. ing. VILLAGE TRUSTEES SAY MOVIE THEATER IS O. K. (Continued from Page 1) into the titles what older persons might consider objectionable." President Zipf stated he had view- ed the bathing scene in one of the films which had created some advc comment. That scene, he said, was less objectionable than similar scenes viewed every;, summer's day on the 4>atmhtg-b^trcferifiM wnienrare gen- erally regarded as not indecent. Members of the board were unan- imous in commending the high char- acter ofri>rogrSms exhibiteo-at ther Village theatre. They characterized the present agitation as "malicious and entirely unwarranted attacks" upon the theater management. Thomas Jefferson advocated, in Virginia, emancipation of the stage as early as 1769.
