tor The Association was organ

first meeting was held in Central
ia, May 1915 1t has been taking
on strength every since; this is
due to the fact that the organina-

but,from a pure motive. We may
first that great confusion charac-
terized the meetings from time to

RUN THE HOUSEHOLD

Suggestions for Vari-
GUS Salaries.

A budget is absolutely necessary to
the wise and wel-proportloned running
Of n household No budget can be made
10 tit all families, even families of
similar size, locality. etc, but the we'll
proportional budget provides Il fair
financial basis a starting point from
which 10 begin the work Of wisely d.
viding Tie family income.
The main thing is TO get the budg-
ct started, to keep careful accounts
in way that will permit analyzation
of expen1ltures-for at least several
months; year, If possible. Many
people keep accounts, personal and
household. only in n way that balances
cash and shows how 1t has been gem
orally expended. A budget should do
better than that.
An exact budget Is difficult to pro-
vide at present, with all living prices
In a state of hux but with prevailing
upward tendency. Figures differ great

frequently In various sections of the
same stafe. But In strictly Industrial
centers, 1t has been automatically COM

per cent of the ordinary Income, shell

cent, and the various "sundrles" so
grouped because so difficult OF more
exact classification, 20 per cent. In the
following suggestive budgets for vary
Ing incomes the Saving" Item has
been placed first as most necessary
where the family income Is not too
large aud Is practically inelastlc.
This item may include life Insurance,
savings bank accounts and such inev-
liable income-bearing governmental Sc
curltles absolutely necessary with the
kind of incomes noted-as Liberty,
Bonds II ID War Savings Stamps.
