Keen interest on the part of the >ublic in the projected plang for a 
National Thrift Week beginning January 17, 1920, has been evidenced in 
many ways already, according to the savings Division of the Treasury De- 
vartwent. The purpose of the week will be the endeavor to start the coun~ 
try off in the New Year with a sound financial program for every individual 
and household, Two ends are sought, First, that the condition of the indi- 
vidual be imcroved, and second, that the financial and industrial strength 
of the nation be increased by the great sums of capital which will accrue 
through the practice of steady saving and safe investment on the part of 
citizens. 
"The importance to the country of the practice of thrift and saving 
by the individual is not readily arpreciable," said William Mather Lewis, 
director of the savings division of the Treasury, “until its results in 
the aggregate are summed up. While the country was buyine twentv billion 
dollars worth of Liberty bonds, it also rut away more than a billion dol- 
lars in War Savings Starrs, and savings bank deposits in this country alse 
have increased some eight billion dollars during the vears the world has beer 
at war.
