FAMOUS ITALIAN HAS NEW OPERA
 LIKE PACAENT

Rome, July 1. Correspondents of the Associated Press )-Pietro Mas cagni, known to everyone as the com poser of the Cavelleria Rusticana and numerous other musical works, has written a new opera. I'll Piccolo Marat," which is characterized here as distinctly a revolutionary step Tn operattc works. It contains no per- sonalities as characters in the story, but it substitutes for them symbolic representations of virtues and ideals similar to the American pageant.
 q expect to produce my new opera next winter in Rome,' said Signor Masca gni to the Associated Press correspondent. The theme is founded on the conflict of ideas between the autocrat and the democra=, between expressions and freedom. The time of it, of course, is not limited to any one period. The opera is symbolic of many periods and would just as readily apply to the stirring times of te American Revolution as it would to the French revolution, or the Rus sian, or the Bavarian.
 q have no characters m the pro ducton representing any particular personalities. There is no Napoleon, Metternich or Garabaldi. My charac- ters represent the ideas for which men have striven and also the ideas which endeavored to keep men under subjectiOn. There is d character for Justice, for Truth. for Freedom, and on the other hand, for Tyranny, for Ignorance, for Wrong. The plan Tn my new work has been to depict in song the evolution of man from slave to a free man through the in strumentality of characters repre-. senting the abstract qualities foi which man fought and on the con. trary, the qualities he fought against.

HOW THE FAMILY INCOME
 SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED
Every Family Should Have Own Per
 sonal Household Budget

The household is corporation with certain definite obligations and a more or less certain income, and it should, therefore, have a definite budget.
 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 sftuar ton, but no family can thrive and progress without sound and sane f- nancing, without arrangement of req sonable financial margin, without reg ular saving and investments, such as are offered by Thrift md War Savings Stamps; and only intelligent adher- ence to an intelligent budget can be trusted, under ordinary circumstances, to bring about the desired results.
 Methods of appropriation, however, differ; a method which proves feasible in a given family would be worse than useless in another; but certain car dinaI principles may be safely laid down.
 The amount of possible savings should be set apart definitely and rigidly adhered to. Other allowances may be variable or they may be held within hard and fast limits One plan after another may be tried. if liked, until the best one suited is found
 All things considered, the most easily efficient budget usually is that which allows a certain share of the income for each budget head listed, holds rigidly within the items of appropria- tion, and wisely applies any balance or surplus to the savings or recreation account

THRIFT AS A
 STABILZER OF BUSINESS.
The Foundation Upon Which All Successful Enterprises Are
 Based

Tn a rocent address in New York City tir. William Mather Lewis con trasted thrift with mere saving. Thrift, he said, ia a much broader mat ter than mere saving. Thrift Is care and prudence in the management of one's affairs; the foundation upon which every successful and enduring business enterprise is based
 The man who hoards his money, who deprives himself of the decencies Of life in order to accumulate, is going counter to the Declaration of Inde- pendenco-Re is narrowing his life, restricting his liberty, and shutting himself away from true happiness. He who spends his money wisely, who aportions his dollars fntelhgently against the needs of today and the needs of tomorrow, who, in other words. is practicins thrift, Is investing in Liberty and happiness, is securng life moro abundnntly.
 The miser lays aside a surplus by refusing To buy those things which necessity and comfort and the good of his community require. The thrifty man buys literally and inteiIigently he makes very sure that the shoes for which he exchanges tho product of many hours labor contain good work. manship and good material; that the meat he carries homo at night goes on tho table, not in the garbage can. He insists that the dollar he hands the employee be earned by an hour oi honest lnbor. A thrifty man Is careful of other things than money. Such a one docs not arrive at the station hali an hour before train time. If his time is worth three dollars an hour be does not me 1t up on work that a three-dol lar-a-day assistant could do. Thrift consists in making the most of ones resources, tangible and intangible making the most of them for the bene- nt of self and of ones fellows.
 As a means of thrift, Mir. Lewis ad- vocated tho formation of War Savings Societies and investment in War Saw ings StampA
