REDUCE LIVING COST
Federal Reserve Board Finds
Key to Readiustment.
Sorely Tried Consumer Must Have an
Inning II Transfer Is to Be
EffectuaIly Made.

Washington March l9.-The federal
reserve board puts forward reduction
in living costs to the consumer aB the
key to the readjustment period. The
board says in a bulletin, made public
here, the sorely tried consumer must
have an inning IL the transfer from
war to peace is effectually made.
'Readjustment is a problem" the
bulletin states, which involved a cur
tailment of costs of production to a
point where our manufacturers are
able to satisfy domestic trade and to
compete favorably with foreigners for
export 1t involves a readjustment OF
values generally upon a new basis
created by normalization of prices and
wages. Finally, it involves the effec.
tive transfer of labor from war work
back to peace time employment at a
stable and satisfactory remuneration
The board says that each of these
factors must bear its share in the gen.
eral process of readjustment. If these
do team work" the board predicts
smooth recession from the great In
fation of prices and the additions tc
the consumers living costs on every
side"

found material which prompts the re

And another said;
I'VE have to have discipline in the
army, but not like some of those 80

agreement will be reached as to the in
clusiOn of the League of Nations, as an

ence in view of recent reports of di-
vergences between the powers as to
the inclusion of the League plan in the
treaty. The meeting is looked upon
as an earnest effort to reconcile all
views into a common understanding
for an early conclusion of peace in
comprehensive form, including mill
tary, naval, economic and financial
terms, as we'll as the League of Ma
tions.
The general situation as to the peace
treaty has been greatly clarified by
discussions between the heads of va
rious delegations American commits
sioners took the view today that the
attitude of the American, French and
British governments should be brought
into entire accord.
Tentative Accord Reached.
The conferences which have been
conducted by Lord Robert Cecil of
Great Britain, Leon Bourgeois of
France and Colonel E. M House of the
United States have reached tenta-
tive accord and there is reason to be-

the action thus taken.
Present plans contemplate the COM
pletion of hearings given neutral ma
tions on the League of Nations during
the present week, and during the sue
ceeding week attention will be given
to boundaries, reparation and other

The Child Welfare Society, formerly

it was announced last night.
In thus establishing a building for
the conservation of human life in it's

Seating Your Guests.

Most women nowadays are syste-
matte about the running of their
households-at least. they are sys-
tematic il they are successful So
most of them have several systems of
classification and indexing connected
with household accounts and provision
ing To be sure, there is the danger.
though it is small, of letting the
means for systematizing housework
obscure the end, and there are a few
scientific housekeepers who carry
their work a little too far. But their
work is, nevertheless. in the right
direction, and other women can learn
much from them.
Aside from the methods that have
been devised by the women who look
upon housekeeping as a scientific as
we'll as a business experiment, there
are various other methods and con-
veniences for the busy housekeeper.
In the shops there is a little seating
pad. 1t is oblong, made of leather.
Evening star., 1919-12-14

and it has around its edge various
little pockets that represent the
chairs about the dinner table. So the
hostess, puzzling over the seating of
her guests, does not have to scribble
down names on sheet of paper
ground an imaginary table and erase
them over and over again until she
gets the right arrangement. Instead,
she writes each guests name on a
card and shuffles the cards about in
the little pockets until she has just
the arrangement she wishes. Seating
guests at dinner has much to do with
the success Of the dinner; and doubt
less there are many guests in this
world who could wish their hostess
the possessor of one of these con-
venfent little seating pads.
In the household where there are
servants of sufficient number and in
teliigence to, look after such things
the hostess. after she has planned, the
seating Of the guests, can slip the
place cards into the proper pockets
and hand the seating pad over to
