sentation to United States Consul Sim

QUEEN MARY SAVES SIS, 900.
Shaves that Amount on Household
Expenses In Year.

Special Cable to The Washington H,ah
London, Jan. eL-The audit of the
household accounts at Buckingham Pal
ace completed today is said to have
shown a saving OF 5000 over the pre-
vious year.
This is due to the reign Of economy
established by Queen Mary. and while
the showing is said to have pleased her
highly, she keenly resents being forced
to carry out an economic campaign. But
the problem she Is solving Is how she
and King George may provide for their
sons.
1t now Is certain that Parliament will
not make any addition to the royal al
lowance, amounting to ESQ., 900. and the
royal expenses are said to require most
Of this.
There also is a rapidly growing senti-
ment among the already heavily taxed
middle class Of Great Britain that s2.350,-
900 Is SUFFICIENT to provide for the luxury
Of monarch and his family.
