DISCOUNTING THE BAD
NEWS
# the Mails be Heavy around
the First of the Month, end
-. the Bills HeaUier, the
Fault Is AL Our
O7C0 :.

households, the first of the
month is a period of dread and
anxiety. The heads of those
households know that the bills
received then will bring bad
news, but they are ignorant of
how bad the news will be. They
do not know until they see the
bills how much they have spent
or what they spent it for. By
the time they find out, the oppor-
tunity to save something from
their income has passed.
Over four million women
throughout the United States
will devote themselves during
the first months of 1920 to turn
ing the bad news of the first of
the month into good news, in CO.
operation with the Savings Di-
vision of the Treasury Depart
ment. First they are going to
take the dread out of the first
Of the month by finding out in
January exactly what bad news
the January bills will bring on
the first of February.
This will be accomplished by
keeping a strict account of ev-
cry personal and household ex-
penditure. If excessive amounts
are paid out for certain items of
living expense, they are going to
know it and will be able to make
such establishments as will make
the household and personal bud
get d well balanced whole.
Having found out the worst of
the bad news by these investiga-
tons in January, the women are
pledged to turn it into good news
IN February by eliminating the
waste and unnecessary extrav-
agances which January has dis
cloS>d. This effort on the part
of the American women is not
an effort to lower the standard
Of living of any American fam
ily.
It's purpose it to maintain and
better the standard of living and
do it within the limits Of the in
dividual or household income,
despite the increased cost of liv-
ing and the economic problems
superinduced by the great war.
The women of the nation as
represented by the great wom-
ems organizations have recog-
nized that IT IS NOT ENOUGH
TO MAKE BOTH ENDS OF
THE INCOME MEET. They
must overlap sufficiently to pro-
vide a margin Of saving to pro-
vide for the future and any con-
tingencies which the future may
bring forth.
It is for this reason that a
dozen Of the great Women's or
CARNATIONS, leaders Of thought
and action in the nation, have
pledged cooperation with the
Savings Division Of tn Treas
ury Department not only to
help make the ends of income
meet but to make them lap over
in a margin of safety taken up
by the government savings Sc
curities.
Therefore, having discounted
the bad news Of January by the
readjustments Of February, the
women Of the nation will devote
March to confirming that good
news by translating the surplus
income gained into government
securities such as War Savings
Stamps, Treasury Savings Ger
tificates and Liberty Bonds
They will show that these secur-
tiles are both safe and profit
abs. that they are proof against
loss and hold the surplus ready
for any emergency of the future.

Partners and
 Bulldogs Mix
 Affairs Today
Nv GEORGE REYNOLDS

Ancient foes of gridiron and diamond, the Panther of Birmingham-Sout and the Bulldog of Howard, are slated to tangle affairs this afternoon on Munger field in what promises to be one of the most hotly contested battles of the five game series to decide the collegiate championship of Birmingham.
 The two opposing hines will be in their best form as theya take the field today. The Bulldogs, flushed with a large mum Der of victories garnered on their recent road journey which ended Saturday a. Vanderbilt, are ready for the fray. The Partners of Coach Brown, after week Of strenuous practice whenever weathe4 conditions-nermitted, are primed for ac- ton.
 Johnny Ingram, star right-hander of the Baptists, who defeated the Comnno- dores last Friday, will grace the mound for Coach Dillon's warriors in all prob. ability King and Head are the other available boXmen whom the Howard mentor may send in to stem the tide os the Methodist attack, Eva Speer, dimuni- tive southpaw of the Birmingham- South erners. will draw the hurling assignment Of the Partners. Malone and Wheeler are the remaining twrers on Coacl Browns staff.
 Ingram and Speer should stage one O. the prettiest pitching battles of the sea- Son III lHlS alteIHooH 5 lracaS, because of the fierceness with which the argu- ment will be fought.
 Practically the same line-ups will take the field against each other as in the previous games.
 The contest this afternoon is expected to be the hardest fought of the five-game series. The East Lake Colegians have two victories to their credit, while the Partners have challSed up but one win The warriors of Coach Charlie Brown must come out on the long end of the score in the fracas in order to continue in the running for the series Panther victory will ncces1itate another en- counter between the rivals, which will probably be held at Redwood at later date.

Moleys batsmen certainly went on rampage yesterday. sixteen safe Its were pounded off the Cracker tv irlers. Both Boone and Glazner were forced to retire before Che end of the game. as both teams did little heavy hitting, enough to merit the derrick in both cases.
 With Joe Coffindaffer in the box to- cay. the Barons should find little diff f!oulty in taking the second game from Atlanta. Coffy pitched Friday but it is more than likely that he will be used today. Joe lost his last game, against Little Rock. In fact, he was severely drubbed. But with the bad game out of his system he should set tie down to steady, hard work from TOW on.
 This might apply to the whole team. 1t is foolish to expect a team to have a long winning streak without having a slump once in a while. Ten straight somes was about the limit for the Barons and the reaction came in the title Rock series. Bat now, however. everything should lock lovely and the BGrons should begin 10 turn in a rec old of two wins ou. of every three games played regularly. Such a stride would ultimately lani the pennant for Bi Bimingham.

One of the most successful years in the history of the great American sport is now drawing to close for the colleges of the south.

And in addition. practically every school of collegiate rank put out a base ball nine worthy to represent it. It has
