Making or Breaking.

Casual readers OF the news from the capital
do not always analyze the why's and wherefores
Of the bills they warned to watch Some
very good citizens. for example. never take the
pains 10 find out just why the hydro-electrtc
companies are determined to get the infamous
Shields water power bill through congress
But whoever add two and two can make
the connection. One phase OF the railroad bust
ness carries with IL good deal Of inside infor
nation about water power The Identification
OF railroads is being tried out by various lines.
and its success is passing expectation.
The ST. Paul road reports that the past winter
has been the worst In the history OF railroad
ing and that there have been times when every
steam engine In the Rocky mountain section
was frozen but that the electric locomotive went
right along According TO the same report. IL
Is estimated that the cost OF the electric motors
1000 tons one mile than steam engines would
cost for coal.
Many railroad experts claim that the near
future management OF all railroads includes
identification.
In Europe this means improved cleanliness,
greater safety and cheapness for the travelling
public and lower freight charges.
II may mean the same thing in this country
but II will motif the Shields bill becomes
law. For this measure would place practically
all OF the countrys most valuable water power
which is electricity making power--at the dis
posal OF a few big hydro-elecfric companies, and
without government regulation
To watch the Shields bill become a law Is to
see q monopoly in the making.
To prevent the Shields bill from becoming a
law Is to help TO break up the power Of the
monopolists in this country.

THE FAMILY BUDGET.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

-
A budget is statement carefully made
out by which to form an estimate of
probable expenditure for given period
of time.
No one would think of trying to man.
age railroad, steel company, whole
sale grocery, or any other business con-
Germ without first computing about how
much is to be spent for the various items
of upkeep, overhead charges, advertising,
etc.
A family is business concern. About
so much money comes in. And q good
part of family trouble arises from fric-
ton over how it should 90 out.
Why not prepare family budget?
Let us suppose family of four, father,
mother. daughter sixteen, and son four
teen.
Call family council. Discuss matters
frankly. Let each see the needs of all,
each share the common responsibility.
Do not be little car in your home, ex-
pecting the other members of the house
hold to obey you without understanding
why. Let the home be an intelligent
democracy II is much more important
for children to cooperate than to learn
to obey blindly.
Take an income, for instance, of $1,000
year, or 800 month. According to
a little paper published by Brown and
Bigelow, in st. Paul, such a sum might
be divided as follows:
Ten per cent SAVINGS should be laid
away first of all, and not from what is
left over. The most important item,
never to be decreased unless under ex-
treme necessity. Is $40 month. or
1922 week.
Twenty-Five per cent. SHELTER.
Rent, payment on property, taxes, insur-
ance. Is S22 month. or s5.0S week.
Thirty per cent. FOOD. Groceries.
meats, ice, meals away from home. Is
$50 month. or S6.92 week.
Fifteen per cent. CLOTHES. Pur-
chases, repairs, tailor, dressmaker. Is
Sl5 month, or $3.46 week.
Thirteen per cent. INCIDENTALS.
Light, heat laundry, telephone, car fare.
house furnishings, sundry necessities. L.
$l3 a month, or SO week.
Six per cent. ADVANCEMENT.
Church. charity lodge, books and period
icals, amusements. Is Sc a month, or
S1.38 a week.
Four per cent. LUXURIES. Indul-
gences which are not necessities Is 81
a month. or 92c a week.
OF course this is merely suggestion.
but it will serve as starting point. IL
the boy thinks he should have more
spending money. let him point out from
where else it could be spared. Let the
girl plan for all as well as for herself.
Develop the mutual spirit, leach for all
and all for each"
And stick to it. Cast up accounts
monthly and discuss results. How much
dull misunderstanding and blind aliena-
ton could be avoided by getting money

root of most family bitterness is money

5 GERMAN AEROS
WINGED In FIGHTS
Allies Lose Two of Their
Machines in Fierce
Encounters.

London, July 21.-The last two days
have been marked by extraordinary
aerial activity along the entire West
front. Scores Of Allied and German
machines participated in air battles,
and five German and two Allied planes
we're destroyed. The British War
Office issued the following statement
tonight:
Taking advantage Of the fine
weather, the Royal Flying Corps yes
terday continued their bombing opera
tions against points of military i'm
portance with successful results. The
hostile aircraft were inactive until
evening, when a good deal of fighting
took place behind the German lines.
One of our offensive patrols encoun-
tered eleven German machines, and, as
a result, three German machines were
shot down, one bursting into flames.
Another encounter between four Of
our machines and six Of the enemy
lasted forty-fve minutes. One Fokker
was then shot down and another badly
damaged. The remainder fed.
During other air combats a fifth
German machine was forced to the
ground. Our total loss during the day
was one machine"
The following French announcement
was made to-day:
"On the day Of July 20 and during
the night of July 20-2l our aeroplane
squadrons bombarded several i'm
portant points behind the enemy's
lines. The stations at Confans, Mars.
la-Tour, Longuyon and Brieulles and
the railway junction at Ham were
bombarded with many projectlles OF
large calibre.
"The undefended villages Of Bac'
carat and Luneville were again bonn
barded by enemy aviators on July II
l8 and 10. Material damage was
caused. These acts are accepted as
meriting future reprisals.
"A German seroplane this morning
threw several bombs on Belfort. The
material damage was insignificant"
"In an air battle hostile aeroplant
was shot down and shattered south
of Pozieres, and another northeast oi
Bapaume fell into our hands"
