DISABLED SOLDIERS
ARE INSTRUCTED IN
CLOCK REPAIRING
—
! LONDON.—Fifty disabled sol
diers. many of whom had lost a leg:
in the war and wore an artificial
one in its place, climbed the "60
steps of the House of Commons
tower the other afternoon to study
the mechanism of “Big Ben.” the
giant timepice. The soldiers are be
ing trained by the ministry of labor
in watch and clock repairing.
One, spying the clock mechanism,
exclaimed: “Is this the works? It
looks more like a blinking printing
machine.”
A guide told the party that the
clock was designed by Lord Grim
thorp and was placed in the tower
in 1859. It has been working for
60 years and is still regarded as one
of the best timekeepers in the world.
The minute hand is 14 feet long
and weighs 225 pounds and the pen
dulum, which requires two seconds
to complete each swing, weighs 700
pounds. The bell which sounds the
hours has a diameter of nine feet
and weighs 24 tons, the weight of
,the striking hammers being 766
pounds.
I An electric motor now winds the
clock in 20 minutes. Formerly it
took two men working three after
noons a week to complete the task.

ST. LOUIS.—Ten commandment
for the guidance of a man's finan
eial life have been drawn up by
national committee of bankers an
others to aid in the great drive o
1920 against the cohorts of Hig!
Cost of Living.
This decalogue for the frugal mai
to stiffen his morale in a battle b
save something from the profiteer
and rent raisers is part oi the pro
gram of the National Thrift Wee!
to begin January 17 next.
Plans for rallying the armies o
money savers for the 1920 drive b;
holding this thrift week were ap
proved by the American Bankers
association in its recent cciveitioi
in this cuy. The idea already ha<
the endorsement of he ITirted State
League of Build'ng and Loan asso
ciation. National Federation of Con
struction Industries. Retail Credi
Men’s association, National Associa
tion of Life Insurance Underwriters
National Credit Men’s association
the American Life convention am
other national bodies.
The ten commandments as recom
mended by Walter W. Head, o
Omaha, vice-president of the Na
tional Banks section of the Ameri
can Bankers’ association, are:
1. Make a budget.
2. Keep an intelligent recon
of expenditures.
3. Have a bank account
4. Carry life insurance.
5. Make a will.
6. Own your own home even
tuallv.
7. Pay your bills promptly.
S. Invest in war savings stamp
and other government securities.
9. Spend less than you earn.
10. Share with others. Thrif
without benevolence is a doubtfu
blessing.
The eight days of the Nations
thrift week have been named afte
some points of the financial creed
as follows:
Saturday, .Jan. 17—-“Bank Day
or “National Thrift Day,” to em
phasize the need for individual thrif
and the service a bank render
community.
Sunday, Jan. 18—"Thrift Sun
day,” with sermons in all America
pulpits on the relation of economi
life to religious we!' being and th
need of sharing with others.
Monday. Jan. 19—“National In
suranee Day.” to stress the need o
protecting one’s family.
Tuesday, Jan. 20.—“Own You
Own Home Day,” to show why :
is desirable and how it is possib!
to own your own home.
Wednesday, Jan. 21—“Make
Will Day,” to urge men to mat.
wills.
Thursday, Jan. 22—"Thrift in In
dustry Day.” to advocate factor
thrift and co-operation between cap
ita! and labor.
Friday, Jan. 23—“Family Budge
Day.”
Saturday. Jan. 24—“Pay You
Bills Day.”

if
. address to the bankers in their con- |
jvention here, Arthur M. East, of
| New York, national director of the
'thrift week movement, said: “Fi
nancial and industrial leaders are in
terested in the increased cost of
■ living because they know that in
most cases the bill for the increased
cost is handed by the worker to
the employer for liquidation. Tha
s bill for the cost resulting from
- the inefficiency of the average man
: and housewife in the spending of
i money and their failure to get full
■ value for money received is also
' handed to the employer for pay
ment either in increased demands
i for wages or in increased dissatis-1
* faction and industrial unrest.
> “So, many employers are leam
■ ing that, along with plans for stim- '
: ulating the interest of tne worker
in his job, there must go hand in ;
hand with it an education of em- j
' ploves in fundamental economics
and in the use and value of money."
