Law, President of First National, Says It Will Prevent Hard Times EXTRAVAGANCE MUST STOP Upturn to thrift, frugality and sim ple living to lirins th country bnck to normal conditions was urged by Wil liam A. Law, president of tbe First National Hank of Philadelphia, at a dinner of the Ben Franklin Club held last night at the Hotel Adclphia. Mr. Law said the day was fast ap proaching when there would be more men thau there were job's : prices and interest rates would go down, securi ties would go up and living would be easier. "The cWdonce in certain lines that prices will boon go the other way is irresistible," said Mr. Law. "The fact jhat the output in some lines is in ex cess of the cnnMimntiou will be the big factor in bringing this about. There Mill soon be more men than there are jobs and the riot of extravagance will Stop. AVheu this time comes we may not be making as largo gross incomes, but our net incomes will be larger. SVages and the rate of interest will be lower aud securities will be higher. People will then be able to live more happily and better." HIT SUBTREASURY AGAIN Annual Recommendation of Aboli tion of Branch Here Made The abolition of the Philadelphia sub Ircasury and eight other subtrcasuries in various sections of the country has been recommended again by tbe House appropriations committee. The recommendation is an annual one, it was said at the local subtreasury, and has been coming up regularly for twelve j cars. Kach year tho appro priations committee of the S'enate ap pears to take delight in not accepting the recommendation Hard work, long hours and need ot Infinite, patience have had no terrors for Mrs. Frederick II.

With city missions, hospitals and welfare organizations cry ing for workers and hundreds of men and women released from war work wanting to be of assistance to humanity, the recruiting ofhec bus acted as u clearing house. "More than 103 mcu and women have been given work to do in some of the church's organizations during the last year," said Mrs. Howlaml. "Every tjpe, nationality and degree of wealth hao been represented in the men and women who have applied here for some tiling to do. It is all volunteer work, you see, and it Isn't ulwns easy to make the job .and the olunteer fit. Often we lime to concert the Munteer to the cause in which he is most needed "In one card catalogue we list the calls for help. Tn another we li-t the names of volunteers. Wo have never been able to get as many workers as we need. City missions are cring for helpers. Sunday school teachers, hos pital visitors uud eutertuiners arc prob ably most in demand. Anything in the world women and men did at home dur ing the war they can do now for Amer ican humanity. Wo aren't trying to get people who are already church workers to work harder. In fact, we aren't appealing just to church peo ple. Wo want to reach tho outsiders, to get every one interested in this great Americanization movement There is work for every one. "We hRVC done almost every varietj of work here in this, our first year's existence, as a recruiting office. When folks Iiaro clothing thev don't know what to do with the tell us about it. When some one has talent for singing or actlug aud is willing to help we send them among the shut-ins and sick. Doz ens of oluntcers huc helped in the community cafeterias.
