ABSTRACT
Since the beginning of history, the blast of the horn has been a signal for action. The trumpet call of freedom leading our country into the world war upon the side of justice sounds again an appeal for action. And it must be concerted action in all fields of endeavor. We who stay at home must omit no action that will strengthen and comfort our people and their Allies.
War time needs have called our attention to many existing uneconomic practices which should be eliminated not only during the conflict, but in times of peace as well. Thrifty methods necessitated during this period should become a national routine. No country is rich enough to habitually practice wasteful methods and continue successful.
Prevention of Wastes
There are two kinds of waste. The first may be called mechanical, and results in actual loss; the second consists of failure to use resources to use resources to the best advantage.
