Teachers, with which the local federation plans to affiliate, is already affiliated with the American Federation of Labor leaders in the federation movement here declare that the organization which they are perfecting is in no sense a union., On the other hand, opponents of the fed- eration state that it is virtually a union and that there is no occasion for its existence at this time.

REORGANIZATION OF TRAFFIC FORCES OF ROADS UNDER WAY
Many Rumors In Circula- ton Affecting Officials Higher Up, But No An
 nouncements Made


 Reorganization of the traffic forces of the various railway systems is now under way. it is stated, and by the time the roads pass into the hands of their owners on March 1 these will be complete and everything ready for .op- erations to be resumed on the basis that obtained prior to government con trol which began on January 1, 1918.
 During the two years that the gov ernment has operated the roads many of the traffic men have gone into other lines of business, one of the systems terminating in Birmingham having lost all but two or three of it's large staff of traffic men, local railroad men stated yesterday. It will be necessary for this company to employ new men to take the places of those who will not return, and s all the other roads are in prac- tically the same situation it is very likely that a lively scramble will be made fer the men of known ability in thai 1jue of work

Household Budget System
Is an Instrument of Home
Economy and Aids Thrift

Every well regulated private busi-
ness has some manner of a budget. In
come can not make prosperity unless
outgo is kept under control. The budg-
ct is a system for the allotment of ex-
penditures. In common sense 1t can
not aggregate a total above total reve-
nue., and it enables the executives to
make sure at least that both ends shall
meet. The going business house that
does not have an item for surplus, or
saving, In its budget, is on a mad-house
basis.
AS an instrument of home economy
the budget is most useful. Any level
headed housekeeper car transform a
small deficit into a steady saving by
employing a budget. 1t puts a brake
on expenditure, discloses leaks and ex-
cesses, and in general furnishes the
opportunity to keep the business OF
h~ome-running always in hand. What
did you spend last month for this?
Too much! Cut it down. What did
you spend for that? A little more
might be worth while. Something
new tries to get into the budget. If
you need it, perhaps you can shave
elsewhere. If you merely want it, use
common sense. You know whether or
not you can afford it. The budget tells
you.
If you have never worked out a
household budget, do it now. One year
hence you will wonder how you ever
got on without 1t.
