FORTH DOMESTIC EXPERTS
Letters Show That Philadelphia Housewives
Know How to Make Ends

TLTHAT do you think Of a woman who,
w although the family income - only Sis
a week, manages to provide not only good
food and comfortable quarters for hei
husband and children, but has a dollar
left for them to amuse themselves at the
"movies"7
This was only one OF the surprises in
the first contributions to the household
budget contest that was launched on
Monday. Judging from the merit OF the
first letters. awarding the prizes is go
ing to be a difficult matter. Evidently
there are a number OF expert economists
among Philadelphia's housewives.
In the sample budgets published on
Monday. which were tabulated by ex-
perts. there were no items for insurance
or savings. 1t was held that to feed.
clothe, house, amuse and keep warm
family of five on $50 a week was all that
was humanity possible.
But our contributors know better. Be-
low are published three budgets. In every
rainy day. Mrs. B., for instance, not only
puts dollar by for Christmas fund.
but remembers the building association
and the insurance man.
The contest is open to all. For the
most practical, the most economical bud
get, prize of S will be given. The sec
ond prize will be So. and two additional
prizes of 81 each will be given. Letters
should be written on one side Of the
paper only.
The following are some OF tho budgets
already submitted:

knew that IL had not gone beyond the
reach of her voice and its silence puzzled
her. And then in flash It came to them
both that the pack, or the single wolf
whose cry they had heard, was very near
them. The scent was warm. A few mo-

ADVISORY BOARD ALONE
 WILL HAVE HANDLING OF
 VAST FUND FROM BONDS

Mayor Wilson's advisory committee on bonding. headed by John T. King, the Republican boss, will have the handling of more than two millions from the sale of bonds authorized in the special election on Saturday.
 By just what stretch of the imagina- ton this committee will take charge of the municipal cash none has yet vol unteered to explain. But the fact is that today City Clerk J. A. H. Robin son received instructions to send out notices for a special meeting of the bonding committee during the week. Tonight, Mayor Wilson will send a special message to the common coun- cil, telling the aldermen in nice words that they are to have nothing to do with handling the caSh-that the ad- visory committee will do all that for them.
 The morley will be expended by ap- proval of the advisory comnittee no matter what the bonding resolutions read
 Under the charter the various com radssioners and officials of different departments for which the bonds were voted are the constituted authorities to make contracts and distributed the money The resolution by which the advisory committee was created by the common council on December 6, 1915. reads that the advisory board be created flor the purpose of looking into the cityS needs and making rec

concentrations to the board of alder men, as to what is needed to Fridge ports growth and development.
 Tonight the mayors message to the common council will contain a sugges< tion that none of the $2,275,O 900 issue will be expended without the approval of the advisory board. This will be adopted and it means that all con tracts can only be let after the board has passed on the matter. The board of contract and supply will be asked to advertise for bids usual, but Mayor Wilson will use his preroga- tive to let any contract without com petition if he so desires, as was done when the big Warrenite contracts were let.
 The bond measures adopted Satur- day were: $5OO,O00N for pavements other than water bound Imacadam; $30O,0 900 for new schools; $50O,0O0 for sewer bonds; $22O,0O0 for the Grand street bridge and $13O, 900 for the East Washington avenue bridge; $175,O0 for police and fire departments; $75,- 900 for public clinics; $275, ,o00 for park bands and $25O.0OO for street extensions.
