Australian Pearls.

Pearls that come from the coast Of
Australia are of many shapes and col
ors. Those under ten grains are sold
by the ounce. above that by the grain.
Color has deal to do with the value.
The white pearls go mostly to Europe
and the yellow ones to India. In Aus
tralia an ounce of good white pearls
will fetch up to f100, but sometimes
realize only a fifth of that amount.
The yellow pearls may be rated on an
average OF about half the value Of

STAMP CONVERSION

Treasury Department Offers Through
Banks and Post Offices Savings
Certificates in Large Denon-
nations.

Richmond, Va.-The War Loan Or.
ganization Of the Fifth Federal Re-
serve District has been advised that
hereafter War Savings Stamps may
be converted into Treasury Savings
Certificates OF 500 and $1,000 denomh
nations according to new plan OF the
United States Treasury Department
to afford greater convenience TO hold
ers and purchasers Of War Savings
and Thrift Stamps.
The development Of the savings idea
is one that has been urged for some
time in order to attract larger invest
ments. The holder OF sufficient
number Of Thrift Stamps may now ex-
change them for S. War Savings
Stamp and in turn the holder OF
twenty OF the S. War Savings Stamps
may convert them into 500 Savings
Certificate, or the holder Of two hun
dred OF the SIS stamps may in turn
turn them in for a $1,000 Saving Ger.
tificate.

and second class postofflces and at all
incorporated banks and trust com
panies that lrave qualified as agents Of
the second class. Tho Treasury Say
ings Certificate will be issued in reg
'istered form and will bear the name
OF the owners. They will yield four
per cent compounded quarterly as do
the War Savings Stamps. The limit
OF the individual investment for the
1919 series of stamps still remains at
$1,000.
The new Treasury Savings Certih-
Gates should prove particularly at
tractive for the investment OF the
funds of fraternal societies, labor I'M
ions and other civic, social and reli-
gious organizations because the inter
est is added to the principal automat-
ically each quarter the entire amount
being payable at maturity.

ABDICATIoN DENIED
Pan-German Papers Say Max Was
Author of, Remuneration

r Hr~A Z
Berlin, July 2s.-Yesterday morn
ing's pan-Ger1nan newspapers Of
Berlin make a feature of a. five
column expose of occurrences in
connection with the outbreak Of the
German revolution last November,
including a struggle taking place at
German Great Headquarters at Spa
on November 8, lasting nearly "a
hours, to induce Emperor William to
abdicate. Material is adduced to
shcw that Prince Maximilian of Ba-
den, then Imperial Chancellor finally
took the initiative and gave to the
Wolff Bureau an official statement
that the Emperor had abdicated as
Emperor and King cf Prussia, al
though it is ave1Ted he had done
neither and has never renuonced
the throne of Prussia.
Prince Macmillan, it is declared,
took the step out of misguided pa
triotism in an attempt to subdue
the revolutionary movement, which
was rapidly getting out of hand,
and by it froced the Emperor's ad
visers to hurry him away ton Hol-
land. The pan-Germans now charge
the former Chancellor with treach-
cry.
All doubts as to William Hohen-
zol!crn's abaication as German En-
peror and King of Prussia were
considered to have been settled when
Berlin advice5 On November 30 last
told of the issuance by the new
German Government of the former
!Impcror's act Of remuneration, de-
scr..bed as having been executed and
:lgr ed by William Hohenzollern at

HOW FAMILY INCOME

Every household is a corporation
with certain definite obligations and
more or less certain income. and it

No general budget can be so framed
as to fit the needs Of every family.
Families differ. even when identical in
size, number, sex and general situa-
ton, but no family can thrive and pro
gress without sound and sane financ.
ing; without arrangement OF reas-
enable financial margin; without reg
ular saving and investments. such az
are offered by Thrift and War Savings
Stamps; and only intelligent adher-
ance to an intelligent budget can be
trusted. under ordinary circumstances,
to bring about the desired results.
Methods OF appropriation. however,
differ: method which proves feast
BILE in a given family would be worse
than useless in another; but certain
cardinal principles may be safely laid
down.
The amount OF possible savings
should be set apart definitely. and
lgid1y adhered to. Other allowances
may be variable or they may be held
within hard and fast limits. One plan
after another may be tried. il liked,
until the best one suited is found
All things considered. the most cas-
lily efficient budget usually is that
which: sall5ws a certain share Eot the
income for each Midget head listed,
holds rigidly within the items OF ap-
preparation. and: wisely applies any
balance OF surplus to the savings or
recreation account.
